5. We have, haven't we? xD I just felt the trope links would be fun; and indeed the did speed up my writing processes slightly. Perhaps that's weird, but. ... You tried to introduce your grandmother to TV Tropes? I don't remember the exact name, but there has to be a trope about parents being terrible at the internet. But yeah... you seem to take TV Tropes a bit too seriously. >_>;; Sure, it's a useful resource and a fun site. That doesn't mean everyone that doesn't like the idea (even if it's a stupid reason, which I agree with) can be fixed or needs fixing. I sound like Rebecca, don't I? Whatever. That's probably weird, but I guess she wouldn't want Sayne to hit his grandmother. xD It's odd how you can find similarities to your characters, even if they're nothing like you. In fact, if I try I can even relate Beauty's fear of being revealed as shiny to my reluctance to tell my family about my atheism, TCoD and other political things we'd probably disagree on... maybe I'm weird. Everyone is, really. And while I'm scrambling for a topic, I suppose I'll just say that I'm considering HighMoon's roleplay. What about you? I can't think of a decent form at the moment, but the plot sounds quite interesting overall and if I come up with an interesting character I might be able to keep up with three roleplays. Spelling is probably my best subject, actually. Aside from writing itself, I mean. Sometimes I end up being a walking dictionary for my brothers. You don't want to end up boring, eh? That honestly sounds like Beauty if you twist "boring" into "shiny" or "ugly".
6. They can, but it often happens that I don't always know how I want to develop them. Honestly, Rebecca was /supposed/ to start out normal, just slightly more optimistic than a normal person. And look at her now! Almost delusional, with optimism that could rival a thing that was programmed only to have happy thoughts (LOOK AT MY METAPHORS). This current paragraph isn't all that great, admittedly (maybe it's the fact that I know I have to face six more?), but either way I'm going to continue this until I'm done. Almost a third of the way there (look at myself being delusional), self! I need to keep going. I cannot lose. I cannot lose. I cannot lose to you in a /writing competition/. (Hey look another similarity to Beauty!) Oh, right. I just saw the social group thing and ended up saying trop page, because there wasn't a need for both. >_< Take that as my vote for which is the better idea, if you will. I suppose I just forgot who had the idea (yes, Skyman told me). That does sound extremely amusing; where was it? XKCD, maybe? Either way, if you see it again I would appreciate a link. Although the whole thing has been spoiled to me, so it may just be "okay so it happened like you said it did" in the way of appreciation... Taking A Level In Sadism? YES. Okay, so I just had the funniest idea. Imagine that he just took down Emile because he didn't stop to listen about his mother, or something. And Sayne is all like "okay we did what we came for let's go home" and Psy is like "we need to go save Anna now!!!" and Rebecca is all like "why'd you have to use violence :(" and Leo is all like "well I suppose it's okay because you didn't kill him" and Sapphire is all like "I wanted to fight! Grah :|". (That was the longest run-on sentence ever but I don't care.) So then everyone is congratulating him or something and then they say "now let's get to the hospital to Anna! Whooo :D" aaannnddd then Midnight says, "OH HELL NO. I'M KILLING HIM." and then he does an evil villain laugh and then everyone is all like ":OOO" because they didn't expect that at all. AND THAT'S WHEN REBECCA INTERRUPTS THE STORY TO WRITE AN AESOP ABOUT FRIENDSHIP. YES.[/] Okay maybe that was weird but I get odd ideas sometimes so there. What's Sayne going to do? Torture the ones in the helicopter with confusion? That'd be interesting. ... Writing a reaction to that would be /hilarious/. "Um, Midnight? What are you doing?!!! Let them up, please! I know you're angry and all, but this is unacceptable! Please!"
