I did my coursework on the presentation of insanity in English literature; specifically whether the execution of the characters' motives was only possible under an insane mentality. Anyway, what I noticed is the character's do not actually consider themselves mad. In fact, most of my essay was...

I may take you up on that offer one day. :) Controversy and politics just happen to be two of my favourite topics. Too true, and made more prominent considering Marx lived most of his life in poverty. Makes you wonder where passion ends and financial interest begins with a lot of things.

Oh Lord, I'll now be writing about Popper in my Crime and Deviance paper with the image of him as a giant lizard! As it happened, Durkheim was the well-intentioned extremist overlord that would justify anything as a tool for social stability, while Marx was the anti-hero that saw and attempted...

Felí and kedi may make for an interesting compound. I've already fiddled with different names and phrases on previous advice so I'll sit down again and see what else I can come up with. Cheers, Scribble! :) Haha, I used to do that, except I'd use theorists' names as templates from my Sociology...

I think the antagonist's POV can add valuable insight into a character. If you were going for a multiple POV series for example, having the reader's already establish an image of a villain, only to shatter it as we see what they're really like on the inside keeps the readers guessing. Take for...

An excuse to dig up my old Scrabble board! Thanks for the help. :) Aw, lol. You profile pic is not a cat, but is from another of my favourite things. :D I think you're right. Sitting down and just playing with names till I find the right one seems to be the way to go. I tend to over think...

Hm, I never thought about that. I suppose they'd have similar names or pet names to match their owner's culture. I'm still not sure about a species name. I suppose, again, their owners would have to come up with one. I never thought about food! I think they'd have to commit McDonald's levels of...

I've never been particular good at coming up with names, whether it be place names, characters, titles, ect. This has always been an hindrance to my writing; when I sit down to try and think some up, even to serve as templates, I always end up staring at a blank page. For example, a race I've...

Perhaps as a religious order you could make the fact that they have a highly influential ideology also a source for conflict? Perhaps have a 'spokesperson' that reflects the ideals of the organisation and provides a figure to act against for the reasons Chilari suggested at the beginning, but...

Maybe you could turn the poor weather into a plot point? I'm not sure about the distance between the village and the forest, is there a chance heavy snow or rain may make travel difficult enough to stay for the season? Perhaps conflict can come from the clan jumping to conclusions when your...

That is sort of a relief. xD It's no worry; thank you very much for the clarification (and the new knowledge! If I ever have a Spanish-speaking friend, I can at least say I know how to say 'cat' correctly.)

My middle school Spanish lessons do not serve me well it seems. xD I wonder how many people that's confused over the years...

Hello, fellow Brit! I'm English also with a dash of Scottish from both my grandfathers. :) I admit, tea after a long day beats Pepsi everytime. Heh, 'Gato' is a long standing in-joke about my own name. Both my names are practically identical so 'Cat Cat' becomes both appropriate and catchy...

Greetings all! I'd love to introduce myself as a fellow writer but I admit that I do more musing than actually generating much that could be considered innovative. Being quite an introverted being, I'm usually a little uncomfortable about joining groups, on and offline, but all your awesome...
