That's what I was thinking in a way... I was thinking more that for every 5 chapters written in the POV of the MC, there would be one written from the POV of another character, and keeping them all as first person... That would have been a good point to make in the original post really... Oops! :P

I've been content on offing my main character for a long time, and it always seemed like the best thing to do, you know? End the first book with a bang and kill off the main character, end the book as their life ends... And then I read this: How to Kill Your Main Character And my entire outlook...

For my current WIP I have a group of eight protagonists. And although I have a main character that will be the POV for the most part, I'm really playing around with the idea of having chapters told from the POV of one of the other seven protagonists, or maybe even one of my antagonists. Take for...

I know this is probably going to sound very "E.L.James-like" of me, but is it actually possible to take something written solely for the purposes of fan-fiction, and tweak it to make it into an actual story that could be seen as completely stand alone from the original fan-fiction? Like most...

Thanks for all the reassurance, I'm really not sure why I was worrying... :P And in response to Pythagoras... My world does have a god, but he really does not come into play other than the occasional mention, or small conversation. As he "Doesn't meddle in the affairs of humans" in my world...

Because of the context of my story (angels, demons, etc. All very biblical) I'm considering a plot-line that is based upon the Book of Revelations. I've thought into it quite well and it really does seem to fit in with the story-lines I already had, so I'm not really that worried about that. And...

Part of the story I'm currently planning takes place partly in our world. During these few chapters my characters come into contact with certain characters of historical importance. To help you fully understand I feel I should explain further: John Dee (1527-1609) was a consultant the Queen...

In my current WIP I would like to have a society that doesn't worship any deity. It's quite hard to explain my exact idea some I'm going to give a few examples that will hopefully help you understand. -My civilization treats animals much like the Native Americans treated Buffalo; Animals were...

Perhaps evolution is a bad choice of words, a better word would possibly be adaption as far as humans are concerned. But it is also proven that evolution can move along at a faster pace (but still cripplingly slowly) when the environment and habitat around you takes a sudden change (eg: Wall...

Tens of thousands of years before the beginning of my series, my primary antagonist brings about a series of Apocalyptic-sized disasters; Volcanoes and Super-Volcanoes erupt worldwide, earthquakes rock the world, a house-sized asteroid hits Asia (an asteroid this size, travelling at 30,000mph...

I suppose I should have worded my original question better, instead of just typing "from the bible" but for my story it actually works out better that she isn't in the bible, that way I can say she was wiped from the bible because her being in it made God seem flawed. But I never intended this...

Thanks so much! This thread was always just to double check, I'd asked my friends and family but I just wanted an opinion from someone who wasn't afraid to speak the truth :D I also like the idea of footnotes and appendices, although I always planned to put a short side story at the end of every...

As my story begins 10,000 years after an apocalyptic event in 2058, many of the novels and religious books that people quote will be fictitious. Probably the biggest issue would be a new book in the bible, named the book of Lilith, which isn't completely fictitious, but is a lot more speculation...

I'm not very religious, which means i really don't have a clue about most of what's being said about bibles... But, it has made me realise that maybe I worded the original post wrong, as I didn't know there was such a diversity when it comes to bibles. All the differing opinions between people...

She is mentioned in the bible as "a screech owl" on at least one occasion, and in older versions of the bible, such as the Hebrew bible, and some of the worlds oldest found holy scriptures, her story is there. I suppose I should of mentioned that her story isn't directly mentioned in the modern...
