The Shared WIP Tag 3- The Antagonist

So we've got a small problem here because the book doesn't really have an antagonist. The main antagonist is time and circumstance, with a slightly more minor villain being people and general opinion.

So, this is the part where I answer the questions anyway and pretend I'm funny. Lets-a go! (excuse me while I also pretend I'm Mario)

Introduce the main antagonist (VILLAIN) of your book!

Sky, Time, Circumstance, (and also People and General Opinion), meet the readers! They're good people, don't beat them up. Hey, put that down!

Readers, meet, um, these people. I can't say much for them. They just are.

What do you (the writer) have in common with the antagonist?  What do you not have in common?


Last time I had something in common with Time was when I waved to him as he went past, so not a lot? What do we not have in common? Everything.

What does your antagonist do when he/she is mad?  Do they have a soft spot?


When the sky is mad, run for your lives, cuz we're likely to experience pumice. Or a monsoon. Or something. Soft spot? Nil.

Who is your antagonist’s worst enemy?  What is their greatest fear?

Time fears no man. And I doubt General Opinion does either. Circumstance isn't talking to me, idk.

What is your antagonist’s weapon of choice?


Um, Sky keeps chucking random pieces of satellite at us when the space station hits the satellites, would you believe that? So petty.

How would your antagonist surprise your reader?


Surprise?? What do you call chucking random pieces of satellites??

What is one thing your villain would never do?


Talk, apparently. I'm doing all the talking here.


What is your favorite thing about your antagonist?


Well, writing the dialogue for all of them wasn't that hard, I guess. Also they add some nice tension to the story. Idk.

If your antagonist was your MC, what would your book look like?






Thus concludes my attempt at humor. Is everyone amused??

If not, here's a gif of Kronk doing the thing:

And Jack-Jack also having no clue what the heck I was trying to achieve:


How are things in your WIP? Swimmingly? Full of dead people? Just as I thought. Tell me about it in the comments!

12 Underused Creatures and Animals in Fantasy

Image
Photo by  Антон Воробьев on Unsplash Look look! Another series! It'll probably be pretty short since I can only think of fantasy, sci-fi, and realistic fiction to involve in a series about underused creatures, but if you have another genre I could do, please comment and tell me because I would LOVE to expand this series! It is one of my favorite things in the world to think outside the box and do things that other people haven't done yet. And using creatures that no one else has used yet has been a big deal for me ever since I started writing. Heck, people didn't use the internet a ton just yet, so I would go fishing through the dictionary and encyclopedia to find a creature no one had used yet so I could use it. Or other times I would just make up something weird and give it a name.  Here's a list of the fantasy creatures/animals you've probably heard of, written about, and/or read about. Elves (one of the most common tropes, but how I love them) Fai...

10 Underused Historical Settings in Fiction

Image
I've already done  10 Underused Concepts in Sci-Fi  and  12 Underused Creatures in Fantasy (click the titles to go to the posts), now it's time for historical fiction to get the spotlight. I don't write a lot of historical fiction myself, but I know there are a lot of historical fiction writers out there! These settings can also be used in a historical sci-fi novel, in a steampunk novel, or even for a fantasy setting. So this is applicable to almost everyone! So on that note: Idea list: activate! The Great Depression. I know that writers like to stray away from talking about people who are broke, on hard financial times, or homeless. It makes people uncomfortable. Well, you know what I say? Good . If you want to make a change, you're gonna make some people uncomfortable. You could write an excellent sci-fi novel based on the next depression that hits the future, or a fantasy world that is hitting hard times. Mesoamerica. Me! Me! I've done this! Whet...

Villain Motivation Ideas Taken From History

Image
Not all villains are works of the imagination. And not all villains are as completely inhuman as we might prefer to think. Some people that we consider to be very, very bad had what could almost be seen as good reasoning behind their actions. Their deeds may have been bad, but maybe the thoughts from their heads can be used to tell some incredible stories. So here's four villain motivations taken straight from history. Changing the wording. (Hitler) Let's just get this guy out of the way first, shall we? Hitler and his Nazis are known across history to be some of the evilest people ever to exist. If someone's trying to think of a really evil person to use as an example, the name they settle on is normally Hitler's. And don't get me wrong. Hitler was a very, very bad man. But the thousands of people who followed him did not start off thinking the same way he did. They were carefully primed before they were commanded to help him in his dirty work. Hitl...
