Interesting fact: I have no idea who my villain is but I do know why they are doing... whatever it is they're doing (which I also need to figure out... soonish.)

Oh, I do love a good graph.
Interesting fact: I have no real hero or villain in my story, though there is a government organization using mind control, and my MC doesn't think that's very nice.

interesting fact:
my villain is a smooth kind of purple skinned biped who smells of crushed strawberries and he really just wants to go home.

Spiffiness!
Interesting fact: My villain just turned out to be very high ranking in the police force. If that's not demonstrating "it's always the one you least suspect," I don't know what is...

In my story, my characters are showing me how different the world will be in 200 years. It's not what you'd expect.

interesting fact: my protagonist is blind, and her best friend has trouble but somehow manages explaining normal things to her, like the sun. finally, a way to incorporate some poetic writing!
----------Happy Writing!

Slick graph.
Interesting fact about my protagonist: She is a bit of an anti-hero. During the course of the last story, Instantiated, she singularly crippled the Undercity's operations, which contributed to the execution a fellow crew member and effectively put another in a coma for three months. Scary stuff.

I didn't see this graph last year!
interesting fact: I hope my MC is really like this when he was younger because the fame and money turned him into this douchebag. (I'm writing an AU, so it's all guessing).

oh this is sweet.
interesting fact: well my villain doesn't think that he's a villain, he's aiming for something that is actually good, but going about it entirely wrong. as in the 'kill everyone who gets in the way of progress' kind of way :)

Oooh a fancy pants graph... I'm in!
My villain is a Catholic frog, named Bishop Bennett (the Latin name of the Catholic frog is Notaden bennetti). On his planet, grammar mistakes and the fixing of them are the basis for magic, and his ploy to take over the world will be stopped by a comma splice wielded by a (human) grammarian.

Interesting fact: My protagonist is terribly afraid of water. A crippling fear that stops her from going out in the rain, and washing dishes.

Interesting fact: My main character is the the ghost of a priest with a questionable past and a crooked halo :)
