3D Fiction Fundamentals Collection, Volume 5: Three-Dimensional Fiction Writing by Karen S. Wiesner
Craft a story so lifelike, you actually feel like you can step into the world beyond the pages!
You know it when you read it: In page after page and scene after scene, a truly engrossing story has qualities that set it apart. Authentic characters, a well-rounded plot, and immersive settings work in harmony to create a three-dimensional experience–one you can practically step inside and explore.…

So You Wanna Write A Chosen One?
Do you really? I mean I’m not gonna stop you, but sighhh.....I’m kidding, but only a little bit. I don’t dislike this trope actually I kind of enjoy it, but I definitely feel like the trope is over done and normally not well-written, If you really want to write it, then we’re gonna write it well! Chosen ones are really hard to write imo because they always feel a tiny bit, ugh, I don’t know problematic. What I mean by that is that the idea that only one person in the entirety of the world and all civilization can defeat the big bag evil and everyone else is unworthy and beneath them never really sat right with me. That’s why Chosen ones have to be extremely nuanced in order for me to like them, and some authors have chosen some incredibly interesting takes and nuances on chosen ones, so here are a few tips for writing chosen one characters!
Their Choices Change Everything
If your character is the Chosen One and the only one who can kill the big bad, then inevitably all the choices they make will have even more of an impact on the story. If Luke Skywalker decides to just chill on Tatootine instead of going to save Leia and thus beginning his predestined quest to return balance to the force, that changes the whole plot of the story. The story actually doesn’t happen because in that scenario Darth Vader offs Leila before anyone can come rescue her. In any story, the choices your character makes matter, but when your character is basically the Savior, the choices they make matter even more. Show them struggling with that. Maybe, they don’t want to do any of this. Maybe they would rather chill at home with their family, but in doing that, they would be dooming hundreds or even thousands of people to death. Showing them actually struggling with having the fates of pretty much the whole world in the palm of their hand adds some nuance to their character, especially if they’re already a reluctant hero.
Make Them Work For It
A lot of people seem to think that just by being the chosen one a character becomes the all powerful, all knowing, omnipotent SuperHero who is basically undefeatable. I’m not gonna gripe with my problems about that whole trope today, but if you do have an all powerful, indestructible character you need to show them actually training and learning how to wield all this power, and preferably not over the course of one measly training chapter á la training montage. They should loose and be beaten. Take Harry Potter for example. I think we can all agree that Harry is not a very good wizard, and just because he’s the chosen one he never actually becomes the best wizard. Being the Chosen One and being the best wizard are not mutually exclusive. At the beginning of the series, he’s a mediocre wizard, and at the end of the series he’s a less mediocre wizard, but he still isn’t that good. What talent and skill he does have though, he works for. He doesn’t just expect to win every battle because he’s the chosen one, he studies and he trains. Your chosen one character doesn’t have to be all powerful, in fact it sometimes makes for a better story when they aren’t. If they are though, remember to make them work for it!
Give Them A Weakness
This feels like an obvious thing, but there are so many books where the character will just have no weaknesses, and it makes any conflict in the book feel cheap and stilted. If we know that the character is going to win because they’ve been prophesied to kill the villain, then it’s a lot harder to get through the book because any of the conflict is just like eh. To stop that from happening, give them a legitimate, dangerous weakness. Something that if they’re not careful, will kill them. Something that the antagonist can use to exploit them and kill them. Kind of like how in ATLA, the Avatar State is super powerful and helpful and awesome, but if the Avatar dies in that state, then the whole Avatar reincarnation process stops. It’s a really big reward, but a huge risk to enter that state, and we as the viewers know and recognize that. Giving your character a big weakness adds conflict back into the story, especially if the antagonist knows about the weakness and the hero doesn’t, or vice versa. Knowing that the antagonist has a feasible and not absolutely contrived way to kill the chosen one raises the stakes for the story and keeps the reader interested!
Let Them Question Their Journey
Honestly, I’m a very spiritual and religious person, but I still don’t know if I would just instantly believe if an angel came to me and said, “Elle, you’re the Savior of the world.” I feel like even the most spiritual people would have moments of doubt and questioning. So many characters just instantly believe that they’re the chosen one and never question their destiny even after suffering a devastating loss. Especially after a devastating loss or the death of a teammate, I believe even the most confident and self-assured chosen one would start to doubt themselves and wonder if they were really meant to be the Savior of the world. Letting them have doubt that shows that they’re human even with this grand destiny. But, it can be a very interesting character choice, when written correctly, if your character never questions their destiny even after a really bad loss. Maybe they’ve always been extremely arrogant or have had an inflated sense of self way before their chosen one destiny was even revealed to them. Showing that internal dialogue of them believing wholeheartedly in themselves even if deep, deep down they know they’re wrong, especially if other characters have told them that they are wrong can be so damn interesting to read.
Make Them The Chosen One For a Reason
One of my biggest gripes with the Star Wars series is that they establish that Anakin is supposed to bring balance to the force, but then get super duper fuzzy on how that’s supposed to happen. Now, I am of the belief, that Anakin’s destiny was to father Luke and become Darth Vader thus, indirectly bringing balance to the force, but who knows. The point is, if you have a chosen one, they need to have a very clear role to play in the story. Why are they specifically the chosen one? How do their powers or destiny influence their choices and behavior? Having a chosen one in your story, a trope that people generally tend to hate, needs to be for a very specific reason. Going back to my ATLA references, by the end of the series, we understand exactly why Aang was chosen to be the Avatar. He’s finally grown to master all the elements and because of the way people treat him, and the way he treats them in return, we understand why anyone else wouldn’t have been able to be the Avatar in that situation. Aang was cautious, balanced, and had a very compassionate perspective. All of those things made him the perfect character to handle the challenges of being the Avatar.

JSEgo (Shipping) Headcanon (8): Terms of Endearment
((Inspired by @a-septic-mind’s Cute Gender Neutral Things to Call Your Significant Other post. Just wanted to brainstorm and list the pet names I think the Septics would use for each other. This is also being compiled as a reference for my future works, both ego shipping and not. =D))
Anti
calls Jackie “Láech” [only privately tho because it means Hero in Old Irish (sidenote: Anti usually uses the English translation, which comes out like ‘Ero, because my Jackie’s American and barely knows Irish, never mind Old Irish) and that’s embarrassing as balls to be caught saying out loud; in public, he uses Hero Boy because it’s easy to make it sound teasing, like a jab, or even crude; EDIT (because I’m dumb and forgot about this): sometimes Anti calls him He’rt, which is his accented way of saying “heart” and comes from that fact that one of the most popular terms of endearment in the Irish language is “mo chroí” which means “my heart”—and also the fact that it kinda looks like the word hero… ;3]
calls Jameson “Whiskey” [I explain this fully in Canti Cong (A Canti Script) but, basically, Anti calls Jameson this because of Jameson the Whiskey and because it lets him make the joke “Com’ere, lemme get drunk off ye!” lmao]
calls Chase “Teardrop” [for all the tears shed during Chase’s chronic depression, suicide attempt, and recovery period—a reminder that even Anti cried for him]
calls Henrik “Needle” [after how much he gets under people’s skin, even Anti’s; how many times he’s stitch them all up, including Anti’s forever neck wound; and h͜ow ̶per҉fec̕t̴l̸y ̧A͢nti’̛s͏ str͏ing̶s ̨were ͏ab̴l̸e̛ t͟o͘ thre͝a͡d̡ ͢th̷rouģh̛ ͟H͢e̸n͡rìk̴’s ͟fr̸a̶gi͘l̵e̕ ̢m̢i͘nd͢~̶]
calls Marvin “Cat C*nt” [it’s loving, I swear xD]
Jackie
calls Anti “Gorgeous” [this has been an ongoing thing since First Vibrations (although, the first time I called Anti “Gorgeous” in general was in Fowl Glitch), but never actually explained; so: I literally just do this because I think it’s sweet, it’s very similar to what my Mate calls me, and it’s a compliment starting with G! (this is important because Glitch starts with G and I’m OCD so they must match I’m soft for the idea that, although Anti takes great pride in being a Glitch, sometimes he’s hyperaware of how that might make him unattractive—constantly falling/breaking apart, being unstable to the point of disintegrating, etc—so, when Jackie rolls both words together... Gorgeous Glitch just kills him~)]
calls Jameson “Sheik” [which is actually a pun told in three parts! First, according to Flapperspeak: Dictionary of Words From the 1920’s and 1930’s, Sheik defines “A man with sex appeal (from the Valentino movies)” >=3; second, Sheik comes from the Arabic word for “Elder” and commonly refers to a leader; and, third, Sheik is a disguise used by Zelda in Ocarina of Time which I think JJ would have loved about her character and Jackie thinks relates to JJ’s Jaunts]
calls Chase “Switchel” [after the whiskey chaser of the same name made of vinegar, syrup, and ginger served in Brooklyn (because my Jackie’s a Yank)]
calls Henrik "Watson" [this is a reference to my Septic Holmes AU where Jackie is Sherlock and Henrik is Watson mainly because just “doctor/doc” is too plain but also because I generally see their relationship as constant help and support as in they can always rely on each other both in terms of heroics and medics but also in terms of friendship and general understanding (like if Jackie can’t make heads or tails of some coded message Anti left behind to flirt mess with him, Henrik can because it’s a chemical formula etc.; and if Henrik can’t understand why he, say, pissed off someone because he’s a touch emotionally stunted... xD) also, low key, this was going to be Iron Man until I realized that wouldn’t work!]
calls Marvin "MJ" [as in Marvel's MJ/Mary Jane(/Michelle Jones for the movies) because Jackie likes to think he's this world's version of Spider-Man xD;;;]
Jameson
calls Anti “Master” [because puppet play is THE thing with them, no matter what]
calls Jackie “Bo” [covered this during Inktober but that was a pandemic ago so: According to Al Capone’s 1920 Slang Dictionary, Bo means “Pal, buster, fellow.” and is also, obviously, (usually, not in all AUs) part of his name: Jackieboy-Man]
calls Chase “Daylight” [in a continuation of Jameson’s shockingly dark humor, this means “"fill him with daylight": Put a hole in, by shooting or stabbing” which, clearly, is a horribly dark reference to Chase’s suicidal self-shooting tendency; but, of course, it can also be taken as a variation of the much sweeter Sunshine]
calls Henrik “Croaker” [which Al Capone’s Dictionary says means “Doctor”; however, this is also an unintentionally dark pun because to croak is to die but also a choked sound people make as they die by strangulation or similar things and Henrik literally did both as Anti strangled him with that phone cord...]
calls Marvin “Cat” [as in “cool cat” but also the 1920′s Slang meaning of “Man”] or “Tom” [as in “tomcat” (but it’s only used when Marvin’s flirtations get uncomfy)]
Chase
calls Anti “Monster” [this is affectionate/loving, I SWEAR xD; it’s sort of teasing or even ironic; it’s like Chase is calling Anti his adorable sweet little monster]
calls Jackie “Queen” [after the New York borough Spider-Man’s from]
calls Jameson “Sweetheart” [because JJ’s the sweetest Ego in his eyes; also, there’s an old-timey feel to this endearment because it stems from swete herte (aka 13th century Middle English) and JJ loves history so much he finds it cute]
calls Henrik “Doc” [which sounds like a very boring cop out kinda nickname but is actually a reference to Bugs Bunny’s catch phrase “What’s up, Doc?” (because I have a never before addressed headcanon: Chase loves Bugs and Looney Tunes in general because it helped him through tough times in the 90s and is also the comfort show he shared with his kids when they were little; basically, Bugs Bunny/Looney Tunes is the fav of the Brody House #notspon)]
calls Marvin “Kitten” [I don’t think this needs an explanation. It’s just... obvious.]
Henrik
calls Anti “Eye” [which could be a reference to the “eye” in Antisepticeye, SepticSam (or SepticSuain), the “i” in Anti, or even two “i”s in Antisepticeye; honestly though, this is a reference to crochet and Anti’s nickname for Henrik: the opening/hole of a needle (that you put the thread through) is called the eye, so, in a way, Henrik’s acknowledging Anti’s power over him and his mind, but also pointing out that Anti’s both vulnerable due to the “hole” in him (neckwound) and Anti’s only as powerful as those he’s threaded/strung up/taken control of (because a needle only stabs you; it’s the string that prolongs your suffering)]
calls Jackie “Sherlock” [which is again, a reference to my Septic Holmes AU completely ironic in two ways: first, it’s like he’s calling him and Sherlock heroes; but then, second, he’s saying it with sarcasm like the insult “No Sh*t Sherlock”]
calls Jameson “Java” [in other words: Jameson Java; coffee; another drink joke]
calls Chase “Bugs” [yes: because Chase loves Bugs Bunny (and calls him Doc)]
calls Marvin “Felis” [which is the genus for cats (so yes another cat joke) and the first half of the species name for domesticated cats (which Marvin kinda is xD)]
Marvin
calls Anti “Circles” [partly as a reference to eyes, majorly a reference to my Anti’s agender identity (which is represented by a circle with a line through it; think of Mae’s shirt from NITW!), but mostly just because Anti hates them and Marvin wants to get back at him for this own endearment loves to see him twitch]
calls Jackie “Cap” [in his words: “No, I’m not calling you Spider-Man or Peter; you’re way more like Captain America with your leadership qualities, powers, and general outlook on life—no, stop staring at me like that; idc what you say: YOU ARE LITTERATLLY OUR SEPTIC SUPER SOLDIER!”]
calls Jameson “Ritzy” [this means “Elegant” according to Al Capone’s Dictionary]
calls Chase “Daddy” [because he is one we all know Marvin’d make this joke (however, it’s also in sync with Chase’s rather kinky nickname for him)]
calls Henrik “Vet” [to carry on the Marvin’s legit a cat theme xD; sometimes, however, Marvin switches things up and calls him “veteran” which is a reference to my personal headcanon of Henrik being a war doc like (John Watson was), my Septic Holmes AU, and my Hero’s Harem AU (lots of AU refs, I know xD)]

Fantasy and Our Modern World
Fantasy and Our Modern World: A Few Observations The first truly modern fantasy work was The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R Tolkien. That’s not a statement that very many critical theorists can dispute. But what is fantasy, and how did Tolkien make it “modern” and what does it mean for us today? Fantasy is […]

Responses to BoltonEvans on Troy Bolton
In response to this post here:
@boltonevans
Excellent! I’m delighted with this advice, and glad to see that I’ve already added some of these ideas into my notes so far. I was initially leery of dealing with more serious issues, given the escapist nature of the HSM series, but given Troy’s alarming descent into self-denial in HSM III, it’s impossible to ignore the adverse effect that Gabriella has on him.
Further questions:
1- What’s a typical day like for Troy and Gabriella’s relationship?
2- How often would Troy and Gabriella argue?
3- Given that most other characters don’t see the reality of Troy and Gabriella’s relationship, what would it take for someone else to see the less than perfect side to them?
4- What would it realistically take for Kelsi to notice Gabriella’s mistreatment of Troy? Would it be hearing news of her infidelity to him or anything else?
5- Why does Gabriella agree to return with Troy in HSM III, if she has already become disinvested in her relationship at this point?
6- At the beginning of college, how would Gabriella demonstrate her growing distance from Troy, and her lack of interest in maintaining their relationship?
7- Would Gabriella behave the same way in another relationship? Could she ever fall in love with someone? Would she move on as quickly from Troy?
Just to comment on these points:
“I truly believe that Gabriella would have to commit adultery in front of Troy’s face for the realization that their entire relationship is a lost cause to come crashing down on him. For all of the reasons listed in the first answer, as well as Troy’s psychological and emotional dependence on her. I cannot see him ending their relationship of his own accord.”
This has made me rethink a major plot point.
“Unless… you take the angle that Troy has begun to develop feelings for someone else, and genuinely believes that he might have a chance with them, but has to break things off with Gabriella, first, before giving it a shot. But… with his near-myopic focus on their relationship, and his apparent self-esteem issues, this possibility seems unlikely.”
It’s very interesting that you mention this. As per my stories, particularly my main one, Troy does not believe that he should/could ever have feelings for someone else, and would never believe that he had a chance with that other person. At the same time, I believe that he could not admit to himself that he was no longer in love with Gabriella by the end of HSM III. Being that dependent upon someone is not being in love. So what I’m trying to do is explore his increasing alarm and confusion when this does happen, and I believe his instinct would be to suppress those feelings. I can’t see him ever having the confidence to be honest and break things off, and I use this as the motivation for the emotional stakes in my stories. I notice that in your Tryan stories, Troy’s reaction to Ryan whilst going out with Gabriella qualifies as emotional infidelity, and I think that’s the only reasonable outlet that Troy would use to show that he had feelings for someone else.
“Any disagreement, no matter how minor, could lead to Troy panicking and possibly having an anxiety attack, as he dreads his significant other walking out on him, just like Gabriella did, and never coming back. If he upsets his partner, this could also incite an anxiety-induced freakout, or depressive episode.”
Further question-- personally, I feel that Troy should spend some time alone before embarking on a new relationship, as I said in my Thou Shalts/Thou Shalt Nots. Do you think that Troy can handle being alone, though? Is he caught in some kind of limbo between fearing loneliness and yet fearing a new relationship?
“Because he was dependent on Gabriella, he runs the risk of becoming unhealthily attached to a new partner, as well, and might find himself relying on them to more or less call the shots, at least until he begins to regain some measure of confidence in his own decision-making abilities.
All of these things could understandably prove frustrating, or distressing, for said partner.”
Yes, I agree. I don’t want to sugar-coat a potential new relationship as being the cure for Troy’s problems. I have planned some Trelsi scenes that demonstrate this. Although, due to Kelsi’s canonical loyalty to Troy, from which Gabriella ought to have learnt much, I am optimistic.
“With your preferred pairing, Troy/Kelsi, Troy might flinch, or have an adverse reaction to Kelsi calling him “Hoopsman”, because it reminds him of the nickname Gabriella gave him, as well as the history in basketball that he may try to leave behind him, in college. Any reminder of Gabriella could also spur a submersion into a melancholic state.
He might have to be reminded to eat, and could turn to alcohol in order to drown his sorrows, which wouldn’t be of much help, since alcohol is a depressant. It honestly depends on how far downward you want him to spiral, and how angsty you want his recovery to be.”
Like I said, I didn’t want Troy to fall pretty hard emotionally, but then I realized this would not only diminish my stories of their emotional realism, but also be impossible. Sadly, he needs to suffer in order to heal. I actually do have some scenes planned along these lines RE alcohol/withdrawal. The “Hoopsman” point is interesting, and I think I will take that on board, given that Troy was weary of the over-glorification of basketball in relation to his identity. This is definitely why his rooftop hideout was so important to him, and we never got to see him say goodbye to the place, as corny as that may sound. That rooftop hideout was more important to him as a character than Gabriella.
Man, this makes ME depressed! Another reminder of how horribly Troy was treated. Thanks for the links, will use.
Oh-- and keep writing! Thought streams (just writing whatever you are thinking) are incredibly helpful for me when I’m stuck.
Thanks very much!

How did Knights dress when they weren't in battle?
A knight couldn’t wear a heavy suit of armour all the time. So what did he wear when he was off the battlefield and how did the clothing of the people around him reflect their social status? In this episode, Jason explores how clothes changed through the Middle Ages and how the fashion industry arguably evolved out of trade along the Silk Road.

3D Fiction Fundamentals Collection, Writing the Overarching Series (or How I Sent a Clumsy Girl into Outer Space) by Karen S. Wiesner
3D Fiction Fundamentals Collection, Writing the Overarching Series (or How I Sent a Clumsy Girl into Outer Space) by Karen S. Wiesner
Reach for the stars!
The Overarching Series is the most complicated to read and write. In this specialized type of series, none of the installments can truly be standalones. They must be read as a set in sequence to make sense. Reader satisfaction is only partially achieved in each volume because just the story arcs tie up while the series arc only resolves in the final.

Want Strong Dialogue? Don’t Forget the Subtext
Realistic, evocative dialogue is an important part of any successful story. We need our characters’ interactions to be authentic, consistent, and engaging to draw readers into what’s happening. So when we’re learning to write, we spend a lot of time on mechanics—learning all the grammar and punctuation rules. But proper form is just the first […]
