You know, it’s a bit scary with everybody plotting cold blooded murder in here…. @CloverReef On screen vs off screen deaths, depends on the importance and severity of it. Had one story where I was going to have the main character (+2 friends) witness a mass-murder… but then I kinda realized it’d mess them up more than I wanted, so I made a compromise, rewrote the scene so they wouldn’t be where they’d see a thousand, instead, just a couple of the victims trying to escape, with the rest implied. Overall, better for the story.

Lets give Bob a red shirt, see what happens More seriously, it depends on the character. If I’ve grown attached, I will typically procrastinate in the story, making sure they’ve had a good time, before I do the deed. Method, the method, unfortunately, more depends on what I’m trying to achieve, and i generally go for simple methods too. (Shove in front a train is about the most complicated I’ll do; gunshots are relatively humane.) There was one character I took out last year, and the location was a nice suggestion from @DirtyAngel. In my current series, I tend not to depict on-screen deaths too often, I will but not often, instead typically making it out-of-sight, so it’s more of, ‘look, there’s a body!’ And while committing the deed, I’ll adjust the soundtrack on my computer, typically more sad/sorrow that helps me put me into that right frame of mind to follow through with it. My $0.02 worth.

I had to flip the calendar and realized it’s nearly three months since the last Jefferey episode went up, so I figured an update would be good. A particular game’s been getting a lot of my attention, partially because that’s how I am with a good game, I binge on it until I’ve had enough, and second as a distraction to keep me from dwelling too much on my cat (my mind’s *still* playing what-if). I have been chipping away at Jefferey since then and I upgraded my database, so that’s good. Ep 11+12 are tentatively complete, however, these form a mini-arc of episodes, so I’m going to wait until all of these are done (or close enough), before I post them. I’m starting to like these mini-arcs because it can let me get a bit deeper without having to overcommit to a mega plot. After this set, I’ll probably jump forward a bit – this was intended to be a quick edit/revise pass Currently, the old episode #5 is going to be more like #18 or something, and I’m eager to get Jeff to Portland. I do plan to keep working on Jefferey until I get his timeline to that of Dolbourne Chronicles, at which point, I’ll likely switch focus. Of course, Kent’s threatening to derail my plans, he’s demanding his own story, which I may entertain.
