Saw this thread on one of the international forums and thought it would be nice to transpose it over here. I'm sure we all have the same problem of our MCs suddenly developing a mind of their own (with an attitude to accompany it) and deciding that they're gonna do things their way. So go ahead and indulge in a little "WTF?!" session -- we're entitled to it! |

My FMC has decided that The Villain is really her father, because she apparently wants to ride the Guilt Trip at the end of the whole war. I also have no idea who she is and what she can do, but she's vetoed the idea of magic-wielder and now wants to be a ninja. Black outfit, throwing stars, the whole shebang.
Oh, and there's this random dude called Karak who pops up and offers her all sorts of inane advice. Not sure who he is right now, but I kinda like him. Reminds me of Tim Gunn.

Mina Teller (female, secondary main protagonist) is getting flirtier and bossier by the second.
I think I like it, although what that says about me I don't wish to speculate.

Oh no. No no no nonononono.
My FMC and two MMCs have decided to screw the cliche love triangle and dive headfirst into a three-way relationship.
NONONONONONONONONONO.

To refrain from such happening, I don't even write in the main character's perspective.

You're supposed to be a KNIGHT. A traditional tin can and lance KNIGHT in a medieval kingdom. So why are you suddenly raving about the wonders of modern technology and wanting to go into space? Where did you even learn about all this stuff in the first place? Yes, I know you're a scholar. I meant a TRADITIONAL MEDIEVAL scholar. Bit of a priest, bit of a healer, bit of a sorcerer. Not a goddamn amateur nuclear physicist! AND CERTAINLY NOT USING YOUR ARMOUR TO BUILD A PARTICLE ACCELERATION GUN!!!!
...Serves you right if you blow up the whole mountain and it lands on your head, too.

MC realises he prefers members of the same gender. Freaks out. Destroys half his house.The guy he's infatuated with fixes the house.

My MC decided to kill himself (Redemption Equals Death, long story). Guess what that does for my first person narration, huh?

MC is supposed to be unmoved by love interest (for now at least) but barely halfway into first chapter she is already thinking his lips are so kissable. Argh gimme a break.

Sanya, why do you have a wound in your side? You barely just got through the tavern door!
And that's another thing -- why do you always end up in taverns anyway? Is it some kind of Ground Zero where you open a can of whoopass and bust it out on unsuspecting passersby?
Although, that would probably explain the wound.
Oh, and stop making goo-goo eyes at that Mentalist fellow -- I have a very clear idea of who my MMC is going to be based on, and he's not it.
... Yet.

Seriously Trina? You're going to hit the sack with a guy you only started talking to, two days ago? I know he's hot but really?!

Every time you have premarital sex, God kills a kitten.
Please, think of the kittens.

I went back three chapters in time to make my FMC and her sidekicks kill a horrible monster so they could cut off its head and thereby introduce the 2MV (second main villain) one chapter into the future. Then I realized they had no realistic way of killing it.
So Magdalena the knight captain did a striptease dance and it had a heart attack and fell over dead at the sight of her, uhm, bust.
No. Please, please, please, no.
AAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH.

Um, wtf, MMC? Since when were you SENT to find my FMC? Now I have to figure out WHY. Thanks a lot.
And name yourself, please. There is an abysmal overuse of the male pronoun in my paragraphs.

My MMC decided he was an only child, my FSC is becoming some kind of pervert, and both my MMC and FMC decided that they were thirteen and, forty thousand words in, still in their second week of school, which would be okay except that it prevents my plot from actually moving FORWARD. So I'm stuck and still deciding how to move forward with this.
And my FSC just decided to wake up at four fifteen in the morning, so now I have to entertain her.
