*hides* Usually they never finish. I get stuck and go on to something else.

It depends. Anywhere from a month to years to never.

I go between two extremes. I have stories that I've "finished" in a very short amount of time; and then I have most of the stuff I've been writing lately, and by "lately" I mean for the last couple of years.

My record-holders are the thing I've been working on since eighth grade and the thing I've been working on since tenth grade, both of which I alternately hate and love. Rin's racking up the years, too. :P

QUESTION #24: How willing are you to kill your characters if the plot so demands it? What's the most interesting way you've killed someone?

Have fun guys :D

I love killing my characters...okay that sounded wrong. But really I love the drama it creates and how depressingly wonderful it is.
Most interesting way I've killed someone...hmmm I'm not really sure...I don't think I've really done anything more than the typical being run through by a sword type thing, hmmmm

Eh...I haven't killed off too many characters, so in a way, I don't know. If the plot required it, I think I'd be okay with it. The most interesting way? Hmm...the first one that comes to mind is dying by being the channel of more magic than the body can handle.

Actually, that particular death is part of why I think I wouldn't have too much trouble killing someone off if the plot demanded it. I debated about killing him for a little while, but the decision really wasn't very hard and certainly not traumatizing. ;)

KEEL EET!!! KEEL EET!!!

LOL. If they must die, they must die. However, I try not to get attached.

I love tormenting characters, but I don't actually often kill them (I think that's because I do a lot of group writing, and it's so much easier to get attatched to them, that way.) Though, I'm definitely fine with plot-necessary killings. I'm so tempted to kill one of my male MCs in 20K. The brother, or the female MC's love interest. I'm leaning towards the brother, but Chaos doesn't want me to kill him. XD

Most interesting way...hmmm, that's tough. Oh, oh! I definitely remember now. Not really a main character, but I killed him by his love interesting stabbing him in the jugular with a pencil... I'm going to blame the saditic person in my head for that one.

Hi you have reached the Lunatix! None of us are available to take your call right now because we are to busy hounding writers for more of their stories. Please leave a message after the beep. *BEEP* Lunatix 4 Life!

oh if it serves the plot then make it sweet :P

so very sweet...

I love killing my characters. I think killing people is a lot more easier than keeping them alive. Less complications.
Most interesting. Uhhh hhmm not sure. They all die boringly. :(

I will definately kill any char if it's logical and needed. (which is why I'm struggling keeping my MC alive.) Right now I don't have that interesting of a death, except a climatic battle between the villian and the MC father's and the father getting killed by the villian backthrusting the sword handle into the chest.

OBC! Wow, to my family there. Ghost I know you're reading this! Btw, you're awesome. I couldn't imagine life without you!
Demons and Angels, Darkness and Light, Good and Bad, Wrong and Right. My life is in tangles, my world is in shreads. I want to choose life, but I'm already dead. Hear, tell, look, feel, it's all the same. Everyones gone, as soon as they came. Come back to me...come back. Please...
To Falchion. You are the one who encourages so much on my book. Thanks a million.
I'm going to run away/ Where the moon is ever shining/ And the creatures of the wood are fey/ And my love for you is pining/ I'd ask you to run away with me/ But your eyes tell me no/ You do not wish to see/ You do not wish to go.My friends, expecially Trell, thanks for being there for me!
I will run away and never look back/ I will forget everything I once knew/ But if ever I lacked/ Ever I missed/ I would look back/ Just for you...
To my family. You guys are my best friends! I tell you everything! Much to the dismay of my cousins.

To Stefa Lene! It's so great to have you as a friend! I know you've got my back and I can't wait to meet you!
Take my heart, but please take care of it...
Next to my soul it's all I have to give.
Do not abuse it, break or loose it...
For in it I live.
My heartstrings are tied to you,
My heart is as a diamond, and I'm giving it to you...my love.
Do not abuse it, break or loose it.
Mindarin, you are a great friend and a little sister to me.
Now for the soul, I cannot give.
The heart is given to my earthy lover.
But the soul is my heart of heaven, and is already given.
Already spoken for, already sealed.
Another lover claimed it, long ago.
Paid for it in blood, and then washed it to the color of untainted virgin snow.
I know He will not abuse it, break or loose it.
Lúthien Lossëhelin, my Elf name.
But for my heart, I entrusted to you. Do not abuse it, break or loose it.
WRAITHS OF YORE!
To God. Without you I would have died at age 14. You helped though, and held my hand, carrying me along. To You I owe my life, my love, myself, my talents. I am Yours. Without You life is not worth living.
