#phantastikprompts zu meinem Debütroman "Die Abenteuer des Edward Corby"

18. Frage an die Hauptfigur: Was denkst du könnte dir deine Autorin niemals antun?

Mich töten? Wobei, sie ist so wankelmütig. Da ist man niemals sicher.

Shocking moments - Star Trek 31 Day Challenge

Shocking I agree, but also all you’ve mentioned were very questionable writing choices.

All of those were main character deaths to make a point that danger is real. ‘For the drama!’ seems to be the plea from the creative side.

I really don’t like them as a viewer and don’t need to see beloved characters die in horrific circumstances to believe danger is real. There are other tools in a writers kit that can create tension and suspense.

One gets the sense that writers find them very exciting to use, but Star Trek seems to have done badly with these.

Picard’s use of these deaths is one of the things that I deeply dislike about the show. They burned two youth-perspective characters (Hugh and Icheb) which was enough to put our teen kids off new live action Star Trek for a while.

In fact, I would say that the franchise has showed a weakness in commitment to its principles of diversity by almost always killing off a representation character, even if they are sometimes revived.

The fact that two of the strong women main cast characters of the 90s shows were killed off due to offscreen misogyny makes it all the worse. But I have to ask why is strong women, youth, gay, and disabled representation characters that are considered permanently sacrifice-able for the shock value.

- Tasha Yar
- Jadzia Dax
- Hugh Culber
- Icheb
-Hugh
-Hemmer

Spock and Trip would be the exceptions.

Learned a valuable life lesson today: never run away from hydra without disengaging.

18 - Memorable moment of play

When I got to play a character straight to the illogical conclusion of her storyline. Engineer, smart, self reliable. Acknowledged Faith, Gods etc but but always as one way to reshape the world. Play revealed all "great masters"/saints of old were just puppets by some brain parasite with the Church heralding them as divinely inspired. Long story short (continues below)

#WritersCoffeeClub 21 Do you ever regret killing a character?

I've told this one before: I had the unnerving feeling toward the end of The Psychopath Club that one minor character was tugging at my sleeve and pointedly asking for more screen time.

I gave him more screen time. I killed him off alongside the antagonist, pour encourager les autres.

Characters: I created you. *I* get to decide what happens to *you*, and not the other way round.

The agonizing, helpless moments stretched into eternity, and yet were too quick.

This was originally going to be for lyric art I never finished. It's The Disciple from Homestuck forced to watch The Sufferer's execution.

In seventh grade a book character died and I cried so hard in the middle of math class, snot was running down my face. I will never judge anyone for grieving a fictional character. If you want to talk about it, literally just yell at me and I will listen. I probably won't have good responses (shy and awkward, not good at emotions), but I will listen

"I love you."   

Izuku shuddered as Katsuki's voice rolled over him, soft and low, a thick, warm blanket of affection. A part of him wanted to open his eyes, to see the man standing before him, reading off the sheet of paper that'd been worked to death for months, but instead Izuku kept them tightly shut. He already knew what he'd see, and right now he just wanted to listen. 

"I think, in my own fucked up way, I've always loved you,
