Love or duty? That is the question. Whether 'tis nobler in the realm of internets to write an entry for contest 58....
Pick one:
Characters are complex, three-dimensional representations of potentially real human beings.
Characters are simple caricatures that can be easily represented in one formulaic phrase: a(n) [adjective] [noun] who wants to [verb] a(n) [adjective] [noun] but is blocked in this desire by an [adjective] [noun].
this Dinosaur Comics webcomic has some excellent examples: a child prodigy who wants to destroy a space jerk = Star Wars! Hamlet = a problem head of state who wants to unmask a powerful senior!
Where do your characters typically fall? One of these categories or somewhere in the middle? Is there even a middle ground here?
