I assume most of us have killed a few of our characters in our stories. My question is, what's some of your favourites times you've killed a character? Be it the most gruesome death, most epic, most emotional, anything.
Personally, it's got to be the time one of my magic-using characters summoned a tentacle to reach down into his stomach and pull a fist-sized orb out through his throat. I had to do surprisingly extensive research into whether that would kill a person, and I can confidently say that it probably would. Not to mention the fact that the orb wouldn't fit out through the character's mouth so on its exit it would wrench the jaw apart and probably send teeth flying. Sheesh. That's definitely the most creative/gruesome death I've ever written.
