A death during the night

*sigh* Just when I said I hadn't killed any characters recently... *sigh* Last night, one of my characters got themselves killed. I never intended this person to die, but she threw herself into the path of a spear or arrow or something (I'm still investigating) to save a friend. Unfortunately, she didn't know that the spear wasn't going to KILL him... it was just gonna HURT him. *shakes head* And now I've got a death on my hands. Luckily, this character is more of a secondary character anyways, but I know of a few readers who will be in an uproar over her death. Not to mention I'll be stuck with the nickname "Character-Killing Queen" for life... even though, in the latest draft of the story, I hadn't killed any main or even secondary characters... until last night, anyways...

BUT IT"S NOT MY FAULT!!! The character was impulsive and threw herself in harm's way. *shakes head again*... oh well. She wasn't very important anyways... *evil grin*

Science

Am reading my biology text over here... it's giving me FAR too many ideas for tormictioning... scary to think how delicate life really is... bwahahaha...

What if...

... there was a person who was literally incapable of going unconscious? It'd be a tormictionist's dream, I can tell you that. *evil grin* Think about it- they get whammed in the head, but instead of getting knocked out, they simply have an unthinkably horrendous headache. The implications are numerous. *looks at Tahlia* And I get first dibs on it. =-)

Agreement

Oh yeah. Oho yeah. Humiliotormictionism is the best. In fact... in the old draft of my story (I've tempered my bloodthirstiness somewhat in the newest version of my novel) I don't think any of my 'victims' ever saved themselves... they were always getting saved. Which posed some problems, as I constantly had to position other characters just right in order to save the victim's skin. Which can become quite a pain. I remember one character in particular- Jadryn- I'd beat the living daylights outta him every few chapters or so.... *wicked tormictionist grin* Ahh... it's so much fun to remember the old days. Now I'm tempering myself and trying to supress my 'tormictionist impulses' for the sake of my novel. However, in my mind I love to tormictionize. And, of course, it's so much fun helping Tahlia tormictionize and humiliotormictionize her characters. *glances at Tahlia* But then I have to help her get out of those messes... *wink*

Story Research

Today I almost passed out while riding my bike. Freak occurrence, but whatever. It was good story research. Instead of lamenting my condition as I lay on the couch, lungs burning and limbs feeling like jelly, I analyzed every inch of what I was feeling- story research. I should've written it down, but I think I'll remember. But Uhrya beware- one of your heroes is about to pass out.

I don't know if I'll elaborate on the drowned mouse story... more story research, lets put it at that. (And no, I didn't kill it. I only torture fictitious people and creatures.)

A New Word

Tormenting fictitious people. It's what we do, as DW already explained. So, we decided we simply MUST have a special term for this.

Tormiction [tor-mik-shon]; verb
'to torture, torment, debilitate, and/or mutilate a fictitious person, usually a character in a novel'

So now we are not only the Sadistic Authoresses... we are also tormictionists! *evil author grin* MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA.......
