My Little Ventrue Future - Characters Discussion
🕑 Added 2018-08-08 14:50:49 +0000 UTC While I'm writing Medusa, I've been planning the future of MLV. Medusa has been a fun project and I'm glad I decided to go back and rewrite the old story, finish it proper. I learned a lot about what sort of angles of writing I'm good at, which ones I'm not, which ones need work, which strengths I should stick with, etc. It should lead to a large increase in the quality of my work as I return to my main focus, MLV.In the future of MLV, there's the 6 main characters I've already created, with Jack at the head as the main main. So while I'll release chapters on a 3-a-month schedule, with all 6 of those POVs being explored, Jack will be the primary with the other 5 as secondary (to a point. Depends on the scene).
BUT! Bonus chapters! At 16k minimum a chapter, that occasionally leaves me with some time to write bonus chapters (which would be free and not affect the main release schedule) to explore other POVs. My thinking is I'll keep the main 6 POVs to the main chapters, and the bonus chapters will let me explore other characters, including new ones, for a short time.
Goal #2 of my Patreon will allow all Patrons to vote on which characters get stuff written about them as part of the main chapter release schedule, so it's different from bonus chapters.
I'm still wondering about how to approach picking what characters to write about for bonus chapters. I could ask for votes, but I'm thinking Discussions for Tier2+ would be the better option.
Thoughts?

I'm excited for MLV too. Much as I like Medusa, fantasy and adventure is not my strong suit. Mystery/thriller + supernatural/horror with a focus on dialogue and romance seems to be where I'm at my best. I'll definitely bring up some posts with suggestions for characters for bonus chapters, good idea.

Not really sure, i think that for sure you should at least let us know which side characters you have good ideas for, or that you like exploring. Then after that could go discussion, or maybe have a post with which characters you would like to write with discussion. then a little later a post with the vote. Regardless, I can't wait to see the new MLV stuff.
