Young Writers Society

I love love love sarcasm and humor. I guess since I use it so much I'm just attuned to it, but it just really brightens up a story.

For example, (some dialoge from my current story):

Adam: "How could I, or anyone for that matter, enjoy seeing someone in pain?"
Veronica: "You'd be surprised at how many Canadians and Americans watch wrestling."
Adam: *rolls eyes* "Not what I meant."

I like sarcasm and humor too ^^

But I also like the characters that are shy and don't know how to show how they feel so they end up sounded obnoxious and idiotic. xD

I love it when society's antagonists are turned into protagonists. That's why I loved the HBO miniseries House of Saddam, as it made me actually like and pity Saddam and his sons. That's pretty damn good scriptwriting, if you ask me.

Characters that are good at technology and either bad or average at everything else yet manage to be okay socially really interest me, because y'know, techies, yum, etc.

Weakness. I find it so compelling.

Grit. I rarely write about this kind of person, because I'm worried that it'll end up with a flawless character, and I don't want that. Maybe some day I'll write about a guy or gal with real grit that doesn't fit the stereotypical kind of gritty person.

I like compassion in a character, as well as a bit of tragedy. That makes things a lot more fun. I don't like the 'out for revenge' character as that is much too cliché. And yeah, I agree with most of the above. Sarcasm is fun too.

I love when love stories are a little awkward. It's so cute!

I like a number of characteristics in characters (tongue twister...) namely humor, caring, and nerdy. Nerdy can get stereotyped a lot like Lord of the Rings obsessed, computer geek, glasses, braces, weird way of talking, and totally socially challenged. Though I can't help but remember the Gordy from "The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian".
Ex. dialogue

Junior: So want to be friends?
Gordy: I assure you, I'm not a homosexual.

Ok...I guess you have to read it in context xD

My favorite thing about characters is not being perfect. I hate characters whom seem like everything is perfect and nothing bad can ever happen to them. I would rather read about a character with an anger problem or a character who is a coward!

Red hair.

I know that's a weird thing to love, but it's true.

Having been a fellow red head myself (now I've been told my hair is a strawberry brown) I find myself bonding more towards my red characters than any others.

At the minute I am writing a story whose main character is blonde and she has a red friend. The red is by far my favourite, which will make it hard to develop the blonde as the MC. XD

I LOVE intellegence.Its hot!!!! especially the character(s) Dr. Spencer Reid and Penelope Garcia from criminal minds XD

Characters like them are awesome, unfortunately i can't create them that well.

Insanity And I'm a love characters who provide a kind of Cassandra truth. ^^

Perseverance. Plain and simple.

My favorite attributes are definitely: intelligence, humor, compassion, maybe a little sarcastic and shy around new people
