I was just looking at some pictures of actors and it struck me how some of them would be perfect as the kids from ST grown up if they decide to make an epilogue in the show finale.Here's my list:Mike - Timothée Chalamet (I cannot imagine anyone who would be better for this other than Finn himself in 10 years)Lucas - Alfred EnochMax - Sophie TurnerEl - Natalie Portman (I know she's older than them but she looks young enough)Nancy - Emmy Rossum (do you even have to think?)Steve - Joe Keery (no one else can do this justice to this legend of a guy)Dustin - sadly I could find no one who would be worthy enough to portray this gem of a characterHelp me out with Dustin lol. What do you guys think? via /r/StrangerThings

Characterisation

Your characters are the most important part of story writing. End of.

Yes pacing and prose are vital, along with everything else, but you need to remember: A shit plot can be carried by a cast of great characters. A great plot can’t carry crap characters.

If you don’t understand, pick your favourite book or series. I’ll pick the Harry Potter series (since pretty much everyone has read it at this point). If Harry, Ron and Hermione were poorly characterised, it would not have been half as popular as it is.

Your job is make sure that your characters are A) Well defined B) Consistent (to a degree) and C) Memorable.

Let’s take my OC as an example.

Azazel Lamia is the main character of ScribbleMyth. To me, he is a well crafted character, because no matter what situation I throw him in, I know how he’ll react.

That’s a tick for A and B. I know his limits.

As for C... that’s a tricky one. No one really knows how to make a memorable character. My advice is give them a primary trait, a backstory and give them a good name.

Names are something that most authors hate. But I fucking love naming characters. Azazel Lamia is named after two demons, because in early development of ScribbleMyth I was going to have a race of people called Daemons (who have been removed completely).

Put in this amount of effort and you’re good to go on plot. if you’re struggling with your characters or naming those fuckers, give me a shout. I’ll do anything to procrastinate finishing my book.

Do you have any good tips on coming up with plots for a character in an RPG? I'm really struggling with them- anyway, in this case, Marauders Era roleplay, but also just in general.

Hi, sweetie! 

In my opinion, all characters in every roleplay deserve to have equal amounts of  positive (and negative) attributes and depth in them, so I understand how you may have problems in making creative plots for the characters in your roleplay (which sounds lovely, by the way). 

My suggestion is that you base some of your characters off of characters in tv shows, movies, and even off of people you may know- so as to stay off of the usual stereotypes! But if you are going for that type of thing, you can always search through character archetypes [like this: xx]. If you’re looking for a quick fix or a quick idea, have a character generator [such as this one: xx] do the work for you! … And then maybe tweak it so it’s crisp to perfection, with their depth and rawness, of course. But if you don’t want to take that route, my suggestion is that you simply take a breather. Step away from the laptop/computer and sip some tea, take a nap, take a walk, or a long nice shower. And then come back when you’re ready with fresh ideas once again.

I hope this helps! Come back to me if it doesn’t and we’ll talk it out.

Hi love! Could you please help me come up with some ideas for secrets? I was thinking something to do with anger issues.

Yes, sure! I love secrets rps!

they could have had an outburst at work or at home

they could have caused some sort of accident from an anger outburst

their anger could have taken over their mind and caused them to do something irrational

I thought I would have more ideas but I am failing!

Resource: Should You Swear in YA? (And Other Rules About Cursing)

Your mother probably taught you not to curse when you were a child; as a teenager, you learned the freedom in screaming FUCK at the top of your lungs. Now you're an adult (or at least a focused, responsible writer), and the problem with swearing has snuck back up on you: what is too much, and where do you draw the line between authentic and vulgar? While there's no single rule for when to swear and when not to in literature, here are some resources I hope will help you avoid that long debate with your editor in the future. 

Rules For Swearing In Literature:

Everything You Need to Know About Curses, Swears, Profanities and How to Use Them in Literature

Writing Out the Swearing

How to Use Profanity in all Genres of Writing

Swearing in Screen Plays

Should You Swear in Young Adult Literature?

Blogger Thoughts: Swearing in YA

Shit Happens: Swearing in YA

Is Cursing in YA Acceptable?

Is It Authentic or Gratuitous? 

Swearing Is Now More Popular in YA

Swear Words In YA Lit

Can You Swear in YA Literature? (With Examples)

Swearing Around the World:

Egyptian Arabic Insults

Australian Swear Words

How to Swear In Hebrew

YouSwear.Com

A User's Guide to the Best Swears in Every Language 

There's no life lesson here, no "remember" this for me to wrap up this post with. Use your discretion, Folks. At the end of the day, authenticity is key, and if it's really an unacceptable word, well, editors are trained to remove it for you (try to avoid it in the titles).

Do you know who could play a goth girl with short hair from ages 16-18?

I couldn't exactly find anybody with that exact description. However, taking bits and bobs from it - I have come up with: Ashley Frangipane, Mae Whitman, Stefania Lavie Owen. Kierstin Koppel (Bring It On gifs). All of this girls can play 16-18, definitely. They all have that gothic edgy style to them as well. Hopefully this’ll be of help to you.

Do you know a guide to playing a backstabber? Or could you give some tips for it?

I don’t know of one, but I think this could be pretty useful!

And onto some tips:

Reasoning. Why? Why are they backstabbing people? Is it just one person or are they like that with everyone. If it’s just with one person than they need to have a motive, do they want something that person has? If they’re like that with everyone, why? Do they have secret personal issues that have lead them to be that way? You need to know why they are they way they are to portray them accurately.

Their attitude to people in general. Are they friendly to everyone, or just their friends? Do they come across as protective of their friends or are they the laid back quiet friend that no one notices? Once you’ve established that you can branch off onto working on their personality. 

How they backstab. Do they go around telling people’s secrets to others? Do they lie to the people that trust them? You just need to figure out what it is that they do to be described as backstabbing.

Now, those weren’t really tips but I think once you have all those factors set out, playing the character should become easier because you know boundaries and reasoning(which I think is very important to know before you play a character!)
