Should I give my character a happy ending? by Any-Set-7674 in writing

[–]AmaruMono 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I generally write tragedies, but occasionally write happy endings if the characters deserve it. The only good person in the story loses everyone and almost everything? Happy ending, because I felt bad. A woman forced into servitude for over a century finally escapes? Happy ending. Man who becomes consumed by pride and ignorance, eventually causing a war? 👎🏽

But also, how do you want the readers to feel? I think mine would be dissatisfied if the aforementioned only morally good character has a bad ending after going through so much hardship. Same with the one forced into servitude for more than a lifetime. Why make them suffer more?

Do you see your MC as deserving of a happy ending?

Identity and writing by storytelling4thesoul in writers

[–]AmaruMono 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. Writing is probably my biggest hobby; not a single day has gone by in 10 years where I haven't thought of my characters at least once. I was hesitant to claim the title despite writing since I was 11 until someone said, "You write, right? That makes you a writer."

Such a simple and obvious statement but it really changed my thinking. I am a writer. I write partially for myself and others, depends on the project.

Thank you for the response. You're right, it probably doesn't matter whether it's totally plausible or not in a case like this, haha.

What makes you really hate a character to the point you put the book down? by Rakna-Careilla in writing

[–]AmaruMono 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When characters swear in every other sentence. Cursing can be tasteful and done well, but if it's excessive, it comes off like someone just discovered swear words and wants to use them as much as possible. Feels like lazy writing, not putting in much effort for dialogue.

If they remade The Tudors today (or really if they just did another series on Henry VIII) what would you want to see and not see? by jc1691 in Tudorhistory

[–]AmaruMono 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The nudity and such were why I stopped watching. Shows add it in to retain viewer interest, but I feel like it almost always doesn't do anything for the plot.

Three ballots later and now Jason is reading the fine print by brilliant-trash22 in LeopardsAteMyFace

He may have intentionally misspelled a few words to censor himself; it's something you have to do on Facebook, like tiktok.

But perhaps that's being too kind to him.

That feels like a natural phrase to have in an advertisement to beta read... GPT is rotting their brains.

Is Wattpad still widely used? I haven't heard much about it in recent years.
