  1. Relatives tend to sanitize the obituaries, though there’s occasionally an exception and you’ll typically see those listed under “odd news”.
  2. Damn….that’s a trojan horse @JayDee Has the internet forgotten the story or is it still lingering out there by now?
  3. (I’m not a mod, just replying so it shows up in several of the mods alerts because I’m seeing that activity is high this morning.) Several questions they’ll likely ask: 1) age of the celebrity, 18+?, and 2) Is this minor a real person or fiction?
  4. I must apologize, a deus ex slipped in.  It’s mild though, so hopefully not too bad..

      It’s mild, just needed something to pull the characters out of what they were about to do (and would later regret if they had followed through).  It also helped me consolidate these two episodes together, it’s stronger by having done so.

  5. Dragon Prints are exactly “8888”, I think that’s supposed to be chinese lucky!  I’ll take it.  :)

      It's gone up, which is fine.  Next milestone ... 10k, here we come!  (I'm wondering if it'll be days...weeks...or months.)

      Personally, I think “8008” is the more important milestone. :)

  6. For me, major deaths are generally planned...kinda as goal posts. Though I do worry that I’ll subtly sabotage and weaken the characterization a bit so I don’t get too attached to the condemned.
  7. I did in my first one. Though, to be fair, this was before OotP and JKR was hinting that somebody would die, so I made my guess. I like my guess better than canon
  8. No, this site isn’t dead, but we’re discussing murder over here … http://www2.adult-fanfiction.org/forum/topic/66894-committing-murder-of-your-characters/
  9. Why do I feel like this might be dragged out into court? “Objection! Just because my client may have been discussing slow cooking vs flame broiling their murder victims has no relevance to this case!” (While also ignoring the BBQ pictures in the evidence pile.) I’ve done it both ways, and it comes down to the circumstances. An illness can easily be drawn out, however, the quick can be a blink-blink-unexpected sort of thing, really jarring to a character (especially the one getting unexpectedly murdered). I drift to elegant, appropriate, it’s still a situational dependent thing. As I also tend to strive for realism, this restricts how the deed can be carried out, also tends to make me focus on simple/available ways. i.e. rage+fight on the platform to the train becomes a push in front of an incoming train.
