Charley - Story 5, Chapter 1
Banks, malls, palaces, and prisons blurred past Campren as he chased the stag down the winding white streets. No matter how fast he ran, the stag always stayed far ahead of him. Several times he lost track of it, only to see it walking back into his field of vision with a look of irritation before taking off again. “ Every time. Every stinkin’ time, no matter where I am, I always end up running!” Still, it was a small mercy that he wasn’t trying to run from anything this time. After leading him down half a dozen blocks, the stag slowed to a halt at the steps to a high school. The structure was fairly large, sta...
So recently in the attempt of finishing off the latest chapter of one of my series I came down with a serious writing funk and potential dose of the dreaded Writer's Block, which was extremely un-fun. One of the things I used to get by it was an exercise in listing all of my OCs that I've ever created, whether they've been published to dA or not or whether they ever will be published to dA or not. And then I uploaded said list, because I felt it worth sharing. I don't know why, I just did.
Just saying: Some of these names are prospective, and may be changed when appearing in an actual story. Some characters have been put together in a group where individuals haven't been differentiated from each other enough yet. Also, I apologise for some very similar names, and some where I hadn't realised that I had outright used the same one twice. The high number of Cam/Camerons is due to 1) in-universe cloning and 2) mentally adding extra characterisation to faceless RPG heroes that were named

I. Alright guys, you know the drill, choose 5 of your OCs and add a short description below (Even if you know what they look like the people who read it don't! Write it as if you were explaining it to an idiot!). If you don't have 5 OCs then make one up on the spot! Seriously, sometimes the random characters you make are some of the ones you have the most fun with.1 .

A horde of chattering girls swarmed into the shower room, remembering the days incidents as they stripped to bathe.

Music Meme: Free Writing
(one)I looked up and saw the planet in front of us glide away slowly, unveiling the giant sun behind it, as if it was crowned in golden, molten lava of light and life, reminding me that all this would be gone one day. The suns would go out, one by one, like fireflies winking out of existence. The surface of the planet, now bathed in red light, showed pock marks from millennia of meteor storms. There was nothing else down there. Nothing but rock and sand and waste, endless waste, endless nothing. How easily life could be eviscerated. How easily it could be forgotten. The planet slid away from us still, in its rolling glide, revealing at las...

How to name your characters
NAMING YOUR CHARACTERS There are many problems that a writer can come across when selecting a name for a character, here I hope to deal with some of the major pitfalls, and hopefully give some useful tips ~ Unique and different names are not an excuse to ignore good characterisation. Would you take these characters seriously? Randilynia McDanovich Southern. D. Wattserfield Floyd Picasso Ise Speranza Nine Purple These are all names that I came up with off the top of my head or based on words about my desk. It is not difficult to come up with a new, unique name. But that doesnt instantly make your character interesting or cool.

Every day on Tothill Street, a young vendor would pedal his cart around from noon to sunset. He sold all sorts of little commodities. In the barrow's front were many fiery marigolds that made all passerby's take a second glance which brimmed with bright health and signs of meticulous care. Behind them, there was a colorful array of candles. Along the sides, cheap and gaudy jewelery rested neatly in two boxes with precise amounts of space between each one. The tiny supply of coal located on the cart's bottom layer usually sold faster than any of the other goods, much to the vendor's delight.
He was a very handsome and well-kept young man. H...

All My OCs - By Series
Two things really took me by surprise when I did that list of all my OCs at the start of the year: one, I kept updating it rather than leaving it as-is, and two, other people did versions of their own. Wow! A lot of them, though, were organised by series rather than in a big alphabetical list like mine. Personally I quite like the big alphabetical list, so that’s the version I will likely keep updating, but I thought it was really interesting to do my own version with them all by series as well. Besides, it helps give you an idea of who these names all are, especially since there are so many of them!
Some versions of this, like Nobody’ version, use nifty formatting tricks with italics and underlining to show which characters were more important than others. I’ve gone for a much simpler system – the closer you are to the top, the more important you are. Bear in mind with this, though, the ‘central’ characters of each series will generally include the first four or five – you may get

The characters that go bump in the night.Keep in mind, this is based off of what I've personally seen of these characters.

Even though this was his second time there, Troy already hated this room. It was part of an old cathedral that had closed for restorations and had never reopened to the public, meaning the air was cold and full of dust. It wasn't the drafts or the crummy air that bothered Troy though; it was the statue sitting at the long-abandoned organ. It was an organist, dressed in an old fashioned suit and feathered top hat, its fingers poised just above the keys. It looked like it might resume its concert at any minute, even though nobody had been there in who knows how long. Right now, Troy had the uncomfortable feeling that the statue ...

To whom it may concern,So I've got about nine different novel ideas. (At least.) (Some more thought out than others.) 28 prospective main characters, 21 of them named. How do I frickin' pick? I could come up with an elaborate plan/numbers game. Some sort of chance game with the roll of a die and the flip of a coin. Or, I could let all of you, my dear characters, duke it out with each other, and the last one standing gets the novel written.Those of you in Trying To Escape The Inevitable, I'm afraid you'll have to sit this one out. You guys have almost 40,000 words written, and that would be cheating. That's already an unfair advantage. And ...

2. Zarok knows everything about everyone in Gallowmere, which is why his head is so big- it’s full of secrets!
3. “Zalam” is Arabian for “of Darkness”, so this means Al’s name is actually “Al of Darkness”.
4. Princess Kiya’s original name was Dawn.
5. Jason Wilson, Dan’s voice actor, read his lines with grinded teeth and a bucket over his head; hence why he’s able to do the voice so well.
