Hi! First time caller, two month reader.
My sister hardwired a connection to MT for me last Christmas. I’ve been reading from start to finish over the last 2 months. The story is very organic in a subcultural way. Gamers, fans, talented people, people who wish they where talented. People who just wish. When I am stumped, (plumbing problems, math, etc.) and I haven’t time to be distracted, I work on a related project. My subconcious usually deals with it, and presents the solution fairly quickly. The organic computer has rules. Ya can’t push.

I’m a wisher. You’re talented. YEAH TALENTED!!

Hey, Fred … been a while (for me).

My guess is that you’re having an internal argument with your characters — they want to go one way and it doesn’t match your preconceived strategic story arc. Or to put it another way, they’re evolving in directions that diverge from your original scheme.

I’m assuming you still want to wrap MT up at some point (which may mean some beatings for your mutinous characters) but for the purposes of the “slice of life” story, I’d say let your characters do what makes the most sense from what they know at that moment — even if that means you may have to rethink the endgame.

If you’re watching Shuffle! , you know that eps 19,20 were the rage and when 21 hit the fanbase was massively WTF?
Apparently the group for those two eps took the characters in what most of us think were their natural directions… but it wasn’t what the overall series writer had plotted so the gear change in ep 21 was pretty jarring (and a letdown for many). This was sad because the ending could have easily stayed within the plan while permitting the characters to “follow their instincts”.

Try not to force the characters where they don’t want to go

I’d rather wait for a quality comic than settle for some messily-made comic.

Take you time, and, er, believe in yourself?

[Yay for cliche quotes. >_< ]
