Re: If done well, it's interesting. Ryan Send a noteboard - 24/12/2009 06:41:52 PM
To start off thanks for those who replied to my earlier message before. I want to run another concept by you all.

The "hero" of the story starts out typically, but goes from hero to anti-hero to being the villain that the world originally perceived. How does that go for you all?

And the perceived villain goes from being the villain to the unexpected hero.


Though, if it's done poorly, it's irritating. The transition has to both make sense, and be exciting. If the hero goes evil for no reason other than plot convenience, it's bad. Very bad. Also, if it makes sense, but is telegraphed so thoroughly that we know it's going to happen and there's no shock when it finally does, that's also bad... very bad.


Exciting? More emotional of a scene, I'll nb the outline of it to you if you'd like
The past is just that, the past. You can only truly live by looking to the future!

That said, the reason behind his being what he was was horribly executed. Ghavrel - 25/12/2009 05:48:27 PM 753 Views

When Snape addresses his love interest with the most vile slur imaginable? Ghavrel - 26/12/2009 05:22:11 AM 686 Views
*shrug* it's a human reaction in the instance *NM* LadyLorraine - 26/12/2009 08:44:53 PM 326 Views
It's highly implausible. *NM* Ghavrel - 27/12/2009 06:00:15 PM 323 Views
On hind sight that does seem odd... Ryan - 27/12/2009 05:18:00 PM 698 Views
No deatheaters. It's just common at Hogwarts to show love through verbal abuse. *NM* Ghavrel - 27/12/2009 06:00:51 PM 313 Views
