It is always fun to explore what happens after the insanity/horrible choice(s) :) I still have a certain pair of ogres who get to eat Reynard Fox in this draft as well, though I think this time into it, it will be Boy's response to them that'll shape more of his story. Invoking your shadow to murder ogres will have consequences galore. Revenge tends to alter the questions one is alcarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14929849073911012353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499819998811995494.post-78116361736105637862014-07-21T13:57:55.754-07:002014-07-21T13:57:55.754-07:00...or that might just be the codeine talking......or that might just be the codeine talking...1000th.monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16835988128285459745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499819998811995494.post-38922527694160770262014-07-21T13:56:42.350-07:002014-07-21T13:56:42.350-07:00I'm always interested in what choices characte...I'm always interested in what choices characters consider before choosing, and how many are presented. I get how, you don't want to waste time (and pages) going through an infinite number of possible choices before moving on with the story, but I always cringe when it's thrown down as a statement that a character ONLY had two choices.<br /><br />Maybe it's just me boing picky, 1000th.monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16835988128285459745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499819998811995494.post-76294877724694431832014-07-11T18:51:38.716-07:002014-07-11T18:51:38.716-07:00'We tend to whittle questions of value down to...'We tend to whittle questions of value down to binary ones, because they justify what we want to do.' ... oh, yeah. I personally like having a lot of fun with what happens when people refuse to have choices -- such as in Boy & Fox, where Boy flatly refuses to believe Reynard Fox is a monster, because they are FRIENDS. And there is nothing Reynard s willing to do to shake this faith, alcarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14929849073911012353noreply@blogger.com
