When the Hero is NOT a Hero

Protagonist & Antagonist ~ A Different Definition
There are Three Essential Characters in Every Story. There may be any number of side characters, but in traditional Adventures, and Romances of every stripe the main conflict is usually, if not always, a triangle of complimentary opposites.

Translation: You could tell the WHOLE story with ONLY these Three Characters; perhaps not with any real detail, but you could still do the entire basic plotline. (Yes I know, I've said some of this before. Bear with me.)

THREE Characters?
Yep. I'm sure you're familiar with: Hero – Villain – Heroine (or Sidekick) already. Those are pretty darn

Propaganda - Enemy of Fiction

The Enemy of Good Fiction
~ PROPAGANDA! ~

Many people have asked me, "Why don't you watch TV anymore?"

I do, sort of. I play movies that I buy and rent on my TV regularly. However, I Don't watch cable TV or local TV, and I NEVER watch sitcoms or Reality TV of any kind. If I want the news, I go to the internet.

Why Not? Because there's too much Programming going on in those programs, and not one drop of Reality in Reality TV -- especially the Law & Order ones.

Crossing Genres

Every genre has core elements that make that genre that genre. In order to Cross Genres properly, you need to know each of your genre's distinctive elements and make them Equally Important in the story.

Simple, no? However...

One of the most common mistakes I've seen in every genre of fiction: IGNORANCE.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Most of the common mistakes come with any writing that isn't so good—bad characters, bad plots, bad writing. The ones which are peculiar to alternate histories (fantasy and sci-fi) are bad research and bad extrapolation."

"Thank you, Watanuki-kun!"

"You are very welcome, Himawari-chan."

"I see. Of course. Thank you, Yuuko-san. Do I need to tell you what she said?"

"No! No, you don't, and I don't want to hear it! I don't need a freaking baby-sitter!"

"Yuuko thinks you do."

"That's her! Not me!"

"No! Of course not!"

What is your opinion of inking pens, like Micron or Prismacolor? I find that they give me cleaner lines than the pen nibs.

omg i love your rings nheira <3 where you get them?

*pristinepanda Jun 5, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

probably already been answered, but does anyone know what kind of mechanical pencil hes using? Also, I seem to have a hard time finding mechanical pencils like that. I had one, but it didn't open so you couldn't refill it which I thought was really stupid.

*JaeDub003 Jun 6, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Also to refill it, just put the lead in from where it comes down from... That area works in two directions. Click & release to extend lead, or just hold it down & insert new lead. Finding these are as simple as going to an art supply store for a variety of different pencils especially mechanical, or architectural drafting pencils. Also, look in any office supply store for them as well. You won't find it easily at a general store since they are mostly specialty type of instruments... & once you do get one, get a whole bunch of replacement leads ranging from H to HB to B, for a wide assortment of darkness & softness levels of the lead. I haven't bought lead in almost 20 years from when I purchased a bulk load of it. Trust me, being well supplied will help you in the future
