@Austin_Dern I don't think I could deal with the world of webcomics being more real than ours since Parallax started. Dammit, I ALREADY feel guilty about what I'm gonna do to Kirt and Olivia...
@Austin_Dern I had exactly that problem with my characters until I wrote Five Glasses of Absinthe. It really helps to have characters that indisputably kinda DESERVE to suffer for a few volumes. :>
@zebratron2084 That's one of my other weaknesses as a fiction writer. I don't like thinking up characters who deserve to suffer.
Although maybe I should use that to work out my feelings about the people who've made me shut them out of my life.
@zebratron2084 This is legitimately one of the reasons, when I wrote stories, I ended up having them be about smaller and smaller problems until they ended up just being a couple of people who were just kind of there but don't see why you the reader are fussing about their lives. So, I'm not a successful fiction writer, I'm saying.
