Particularly, I'm building broken frameworks for my protagonists to wander around in and go, "What idiot made a universe like THIS? Can't you see that if you just give it a good shove here --" *SHOVE*<br /><br />*ominous creaking from the set*<br /><br />"Uh-oh..."<br /><br />*more ominous creaking*<br /><br />*evil laughter over the speakers*<br /><br />"RUN."<br /><br />In the real world, it is my job to iron-plate everything, to make it impossible to break it, tear it down, or shoot your foot off with it. Therefore, it's a real, honest, evil-wish-fulfilling joy to build something that I know is going to break, know that it's going to break in a big ugly interesting way on my characters, and know that it's SUPPOSED TO DO THAT.<br /><br />My protagonists don't seem too pleased with me. Fortunately, they haven't found where I locked up the pitchforks yet.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=juniper&ditemid=13139" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://juniper.dreamwidth.org/13139.html conversations with my characters novel: a paradox of archons worldbuilding devious public 0
