I haven't talked about this one yet, but it's going to hurt probably

It’s a funny statement coming from Matt, Will thinks as he takes the offered whiskey glass and swirls the amber liquid around in circles, watching it rather than looking at Matt.  “I’ll take that as a no,” Matt replies when Will brings the cup up to his lips and drains it in one gulp. He feels worse with the alcohol buzzing in his veins, but not the kind of worse that makes him want to stop. It makes him want to swing his fists at the world until it shatters under his knuckles or ruins him in return.  

Today's question is characters :)

Do you prefer writing with a small cast or a big one? Do you prefer single, dual or multi pov? Does it vary from project to project?

If you write multi pov, be honest: Do you have a favorite one?

Hallo! Thank you for the ask!

I don't know if it's a preference as much as a habit I cannot control, but I usually write big casts. I read a lot of Terry Pratchett and Septimus Heap as a child and they had big casts, or at least a large POV set so I have a tendency to write a from a lot of POVs and then I get attached to side characters and then it goes from there. Most of my projects switch between 2 or 3 main POVs and occasionally wander off into other POVs when I want to give the reader some more information.

As for the last question, I'm assuming you are asking about having a favorite character to write from? For Demon battery I really like Liam so far, though that might change as I get to know Gideon and Aaron better cause I'm still pretty early into this projects.

As for Potential, IDK. I can say I like writing all three of my main characters pretty evenly so far, though I maybe lean towards Evan a bit much.

Sun's out, guns out

Your ocs are now flowers in a bouquet. Tell me about it/them.

What’s this? Asks I forgot to answer months ago? Crazy.

We’re gonna do this for Potential, my urban fantasy story.

Evan is gonna be a poppy. Poppy’s are flowers associated with remembrance, memorial, and the aftermath of war.

Briee is a sunflower. They turn their heads the sun which in my head represents her curiosity. Theres also the whole sun imagery with burning and energy and stuff. And also, they’re pretty flowers but have you ever just grabbed their stalks? It’s such an uncomfortable experience.

Dakota is a clover. My only reasoning is I like clovers, they’re soft, their tough, they’re pretty in a very simple way, and bees like them. There you go.

I’m just gonna do those three cause thinking up proper flowers for each character is hard lol.

It's blorbsday! How tired are your ocs? Are any of them insomniacs? Do they ever get eight hours of sleep? (In this economy? In any economy?) Have they been Questing and therefore are rather bedraggled? Tell me.

Mmmm which story lol.

Potential

Dakota is a well rested boi. He gets his 10 hours of sleep and goes out hunting with his family and hangs out with his best friend.

Evan is on and off. He'll have a week of good sleep and then a week where he does not sleep at all (he's a vampire so he vibes with it)

Briee has not known a night of good sleep since her father left the house and her mum started training her.

Challenger 27

Asphodel sleeps quite well. She is built to not require as much sleep so a standard 3 or 4 hours of sleep suits her (though she has bad dreams most nights)

Travis gets enough sleep, but he twists himself up so much in his blankets he's in danger of accidentally killing himself every night, and sometimes he wakes up in the morning and knows from the exhaustion that starts to set in that it had been a very close call that night. Plus, he sometimes strengthens and shares Asphodel's bad dreams because of his mind powers.

My other stories are fanfics and whump stories for my other blogs, so this is pretty much it for now.
