[Katarine Ryiah]

As many of you know I've struggled on Chaos over the years. I'm a bit flaky in my writing and in my characters and I am easily overwhelmed so I always end up deleting them, only to bring them back again. Lately I have really been trying to fix this habit. The character whose always been the most difficult is Kat so while 100 posts might not seem like a lot, it is in fact a huge accomplishment for me to have kept her around this long.

I welcome any feedback people would like to offer. What I especially want is to find if anybody is interested in becoming a core writer with me so that we can engage in long term developments, either for this character or for my others. I currently only have a few of those and I would like to widen the net.

But yes any feedback on Kat is also welcome

Stick with this storyline you have her on. It has SOOOOO much potential and just let things play out. You got this.

Buster would be sad if she left. nods

Don't worry she's not going anywhere! I'm keeping her around for sure. I just need to push her into something new soon. <3

That's your problem. Don't "push", let things happen
If something you are trying works? GREAT! If not? No big deal, try something else.

Caltin was originally going to be a Sentinel Investigator
Connel was originally going to be.a Guardian Master
Michael was going to be more Jedi than pilot.

Well I need to get Kat out there living her life then lol she's only in 2 threads

 

[Connel Vanagor]

Just relax...

Don't put yourself down. If you've struggled and now reached 100 posts, that's awesome! And you should feel proud reaching that number
I would be down for being your long-time writing partner if you're down with Kat getting to know my Twi'lek, who has a witty/sarcastic personality, and is unafraid to mock authority ^^

I think this is great advice. When I was transitioning this guy from teenager to adult, I was kind of loss as I had tried a few things in his teenage arc of what he may be doing. Didn't stick or feel right for one reason or another. Somehow, someway this idiot ended up being a literal nerd with a specialized degree in geology and a rock collection and guess what, it finally feels "right".

Never would have took him in this direction but it worked, sometimes you gotta listen to the character.

Feedback wise I would say two great solid interesting threads are better than ten so-so ones. From what I can tell, you tend to get overwhelmed easy so I would say relax and stick to two-three threads that give your character growth and development. Think of it as a marathon and not a sprint. If you feel the need to write Kat don't expand threads, maybe consider making a blog-arc of stories to give background flair. Something that builds rather than pushes I feel is more important and its often how I expand my characters story.

I mean, one thing I used to do on an old site... ( Coren Starchaser , Ilias Nytrau , Desbre Gensan , @Judaand everyone else in the know would know "Daraland") I storyboarded a lot of Caltin’s story, but bullet pointed them like goals. Rally points in his story and just let him find his way there

 

[Desbre Gensan]

100% this. When I made Des I really only had some inspirations, developed a backstory that would get her off Arkania, and then the only plans I had after that were for her to become a Knight, win the approval of her kin, and maybe return home.. and perhaps try to institute some societal changes there.

That's about it, as far as plans, and just let her see where she would go.

You don't always have to have a tight plan. Certainly don't have to push. Story comes along and puts any character into rough seas. Enjoy the journey as much a the destination.

Also I've been interested in Kat since I first saw her first pieces of art and got several characters could interact with, and long-term partners are good. I'm down for it. Potentially.

Thanks everyone!

I would love to write with you Desbre Gensan ! I'll message you
