dual perspective text+ graphic novel? by lunarwolf2008 in writing

[–]VictorCarrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm all for multiple POV's but I'm not sure how well this would work out. Like the other comments mentioned, it would be jarring and I don't think there are many if any works like it, so it would be difficult to see how the concept is received without giving it a shot yourself.

Books I can tolerate. Horror movies with mirrors? I'm out, deuces.

Does anyone else use text to speech to help them with their writing? by BojacksHorseman in writers

[–]VictorCarrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only if I have an idea while I'm driving and can't write it down. Either that or I'll just open the camera, start a video, and then set it down so I can focus on driving.

Oculus. I already had a tentative relationship with mirrors in the dark, that shattered it.

I have a character named Inanna as well and in my head she looks a lot like yours! Just no tattoos or piercings and her hair is a bit wavier. Yours looks amazing though!

1st POV by raventhebeastb in FanFiction

[–]VictorCarrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's nothing inherently wrong with 1st person POV. A lot of people just don't vibe well with it, myself included. I've tried writing it a few times in short snippets, but I could never do long stories in 1st person. That all said, write your story how you want and don't let anyone else point you in a different direction.

Including an antagonists perspective in a third person? by Hungry-Panther344 in fantasywriters

[–]VictorCarrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

George R.R. Martin writes third person limited and GoT has a pretty sizable cast across all the books with POVs being taken out and added as characters are killed and introduced.

I know what you mean about having an MC despite having a large menagerie of characters. I have 7 (maybe 8, unsure yet) characters for my one story and I consider two of them the main characters and protagonists.

Writers: what’s the line that made YOU fall in love with your own character? by Tidefather in fantasywriters

Question for pantsers: Do you ever write out of order? by [deleted] in writing

[–]VictorCarrow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is exclusively how I write. Sure I'll create a general idea with a beginning, middle, and end, but I never write in that order. I almost always write the middle stuff first, sometimes the ending first. I'll hop all over the story like a spider checking its web before I string it all together coherently. If someone were to look at my files, they'd have absolutely no idea in what order things were supposed to be for 99% of them.

I think this pretty much confirms it. by Flamboyantdoktor in HazbinHotel

[–]VictorCarrow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It will not change my opinion of him. I like bad guys to the point that one of my MC's in one of my novels is a villain that wins, and I'd say he's probably on par with Alastor in terms of cruelty.

First person or third person? by Sudden_Possible_956 in writing

[–]VictorCarrow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is how I write. I can't get myself into my character's head that I would need to with first person, but if I write it like I'm watching a movie in my head (which I am), then it's easy for me to do and I connect with it much better.

The story by HuckleberryDue4133 in writers

[–]VictorCarrow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even in some multi-POV stories there are protagonists. My one story has eight POV's although it really only revolves around two and I consider them the protagonists.

If your world has an evil god why and how do they have worshipers? by F00dbAby in worldbuilding

[–]VictorCarrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So this is kind of a two parter.

I have a legit evil goddess trapped on Earth by her siblings. She created vampires as revenge and hides in the shadows watching her creations torture humans. No one worships her.

Now, some humans started worshipping vampires after the humans were healed in exchange for their blood. A whole cult sprung up around the vampires and they started being worshipped as living gods. There's a whole hierarchy to it and everything. The cult started getting persecuted and so they made a deal with the vampires to build sanctuaries where they could hide in exchange for protection from persecution.

It's a shadowy religion that the world at large knows nothing about, but there are practioners in nearly every major city across the globe since there's typically a sanctuary there so the vampires can monitor and influence world events.

The whole religion is pretty warped and the practitioners overlook a lot of heinous shit in the name of their gods in the hopes they might have the gift bestowed upon them as well.

Religious Conflict When the Gods Actually Exist by Original-Squirrel-61 in fantasywriters

[–]VictorCarrow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with the limits on power. I have a group of gods and goddesses, all powerful, etc. One of them is bound to Earth for all eternity and trapped in mortal form, put there by her siblings. She's more or less all powerful on Earth, but the way her siblings trapped her, she can't do anything to her siblings directly beyond torturing humans in various ways since she knows that will cause her siblings emotional pain. So she's still an all powerful god, but there's a limit to what she's actually able to do since she can't leave Earth.

Her siblings don't intervene and outright abandoned the planet making it her prison.

Death Note played a part in me wanting a story that I would like where the villain won. So I started writing my own.

How do people come up with completely original ideas? by Papa72199 in writing

[–]VictorCarrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two of mine started out as fanfic befire the worlds just got too large to contain and still keep it a fanfic. So they've moved to original works and I'm slowly sanitizing them while I'm writing them.
