Just how it goes I suppose, xuxu. I had surgery last week and missed a ton of work so I have to play catch up/complete this weeks stuff too. Das all.


If you like the characters that is all that matters. Plus, the "villain" being very strong is generally not as badly looked upon as the "hero" being overly strong. Like sadones example of Sauron. It works because he is the villain and he needs to be strong to make the hero seem like they are overcoming more odds. Have you decided if the witch is going to be your hero or villain? Or what she is going to appear to be to the readers?

Problem is, my plot, is the classic good and evil magic battle. but the final resolution in it is magic is not to be condemn, but the person that use it. Witch appear to be on opposite side at first, but turns out to be the 'good' one in the new definition of good.
My final boss villain WAS(past tense) a good side, even his motive of doing the wrong action though extreme but understandable. Final boss villain is powerful, but witch has higher upper hand.

The mix up complexity is here. I am dealing with this argument. what is good and bad? good motive wrong action? bad motive good action.

Hello all. How is everybody?

Mnemosyne 12-24-2014 06:07 PM

No, that makes sense. For the majority of the story the reader would be assuming the witch is the villain then even though she isn't truly. Its a matter of perspective. So once the story completes and its found out that she is actually not bad, just strong and opposed to what the others believed it wont appear so mary sue. That's mainly the issue I have: having a character who is super strong and can beat anything anywhere and do no wrong no matter how you look at it. If you're able to play it off until your moral hits I think that sounds like a really good idea.

Hello, Eli and Kirin.

Kirin Rosenbaum 12-24-2014 06:07 PM

Mnem I love your avatar. So cute.

xuvrette 12-24-2014 06:12 PM

Moysnene... O__O you understand from my dizzy description of the old good and bad and new good and bad? XD
butbutbut! Ultimately, it is the witch that has the upper hand. Consider that the final villain boss is a self taught type, and witch has the backing of BOTH god and devil! O__O that is definitely over the board!

For me, I have no problem with god modding. I like a story not because of how 'unknow' it is. I like it because the story is that kind of story. So spoiler had no effect on me, in fact I love spoiler, so I can avoid going through the story if I see that the spoiler showing story that I don't like.

I again have to give myself mental warning that i am using too MANY buts. :<

Mnemosyne 12-24-2014 06:12 PM

Haha, thanks. As soon as I saw the ears I had to make a Chobits avi because because because :D

Kirin Rosenbaum 12-24-2014 06:13 PM

Elirona 12-24-2014 06:14 PM

I like those chime ears, too! Gotta save up some stamps for them, though.

xuvrette 12-24-2014 06:14 PM

Is CLAMP coming out with new stories?

Hahah. I like using buts. Yes, I understood your description xD;

It seems like it could be really good if you execute it right, xuxu. I would read it from what you've told me. Also, also, also, God modding isn't bad per-say. Its just HOW its used that makes it either good or bad for a story. Your use sounds like it could be okay. Most authors use it to go "MY CHARACTER IS SO GOOD AND STRONG AND PRETTY AND THE BEST AND OMG YOU HAVE TO LOVE THIS CHICK" and that is why I hate it lmfao.

Kirin Rosenbaum 12-24-2014 06:15 PM

I have no idea. I am torn about the ears.

Mnemosyne 12-24-2014 06:15 PM

I have no clue if they are coming out with anything new. I was actually really surprised to see these.

Kirin Rosenbaum 12-24-2014 06:17 PM

We probably have wishie to thank for them.

sadrain 12-24-2014 06:17 PM

Mary Sues are boring, agreed. But I kind of gathered that the witch isn't the typical main character type, so I didn't bring that up when talking about godmoding, haha.

How are you feeling now, Mnemo?

Vanora 12-24-2014 06:18 PM

Morning everyone!
My internet is being stupid right now, aha.
Replies will be random, but I"ll try to keep up!

Kirin Rosenbaum 12-24-2014 06:18 PM

I had really good Mexican food for lunch today.

sadrain 12-24-2014 06:18 PM

Hahah sooo true, Mnemo, about usage of god moding. xD;

Mnemosyne 12-24-2014 06:19 PM

I hadn't read everything up to that point before I mentioned it xD;

Thats why after she explained I was like "OH that sounds much better" haha.

I am feeling okay. My legs a bit sore today and I want to take a shower, but don't know if I want to risk trying to get into said shower without help. Otherwise good, though.

Ello, vanora.

Elirona 12-24-2014 06:20 PM

There are always new commons for events! [yes]

Kirin Rosenbaum 12-24-2014 06:21 PM

Have they added anymore commons to the store? They sometimes do that.

Mnemosyne 12-24-2014 06:21 PM

-pats Kirin-

I like commons. I am going to try to get them all with just event coins this time since I don't have much else to be doing right now. D:

Elirona 12-24-2014 06:22 PM

I don't think they have! But, they might. :o
