What are your thoughts on the cirque du freak series?

🕸️

Favorite book/arc?

Favorite characters? Least favorite?

What’s something you wish was expanded on more in the books?

What are your thoughts on a possible cinematic universe with multiple tv shows and movies, live action and animated?

What type of merch would you like to see made available for the cirque du freak fandom?

Just trying to keep the fandom flowing with some conversation, sending this to anyone I come across

Oooh these are tough.

Favorite book? Probably the Birth of a Killer in the Larten Crepsley Saga. Larten was legit my fave for a while so his whole beginning story was *chefs kiss*

Favorite Character? Vancha. Always and forever Vancha.

Least Favorite? Steve. Screw him.

I wish the books had developed more on Mr. Tall, Desmond Tiny, and the Lady Evanna. We got some background but I have a ton more questions.

I think they could do a fantastic animated series. I feel like for some of the darker scenes animated would have more impact. It would def need to be multiple seasons though. Like each book gets a season.

Merch? Always hoodies and sweatshirts. Those are my fave. And please in plus sizes. I adore keychains and handbags as well like Loungefly could probably pull off some cool CDF merch.

Elements of Creative Writing

Setting

Where is your story taking place?

You may have one, or you may have various settings depending on your story's demands.

The setting can be as small as a single room in a building or as large as an entire city or country.

Consider the genre and tone of your story:

For example, in a thriller, jumping around settings can disturb the reader’s sense of stability, while a domestic piece might benefit from consolidating the action in a single room to heighten the drama.

Character

Characters drive the plot and overcome the central dilemma.

They are the individuals with whom your readers identify and become involved.

Your characters can be whoever you want them to be—human or not—and carry any traits you want them to have.

Look around you for inspiration.

Everyday life offers an abundance of characters in every walk of life, providing endless sources of inspiration to ensure your characters are believable.

Plot

The plot is the arc of your story, traditionally made up of three parts: the setup, the confrontation, and the resolution.

Every piece of writing, video, or music has a plot—something happens throughout the time you are engaging with it.

Ensure that your writing always has an underlying plot, giving every word you write a purpose.

Point-of-View

The point-of-view is an essential tool in creative writing.

Readers rely on the central storyteller to relay the plot through their eyes.

There are various options for choosing whose point-of-view to tell your story:

First person - I, and me

Second person - you

Third person limited - through one central character

Third person omniscient - seeing all characters’ minds

Experiment with different viewpoints until you find the one that best presents your story.

Conflict

Conflict is the central hook to any expert story.

Traditionally, conflict occurs when the protagonist encounters an adversary or antagonist.

This antagonist could be another character, nature, society, technology, religion, or even the protagonist’s inner beliefs or personality.

Conflict drives the narrative and keeps readers engaged.

Theme

A theme is the underlying message conveyed in your writing, separate from the plot.

Themes can be universal and resonate with all audiences, such as greed, good vs. evil, defying the odds, and coming of age.

Including an underlying theme adds depth to your writing, helping your audience gain a deeper understanding of you as a writer and your purpose for writing.

How to Start Creative Writing

Based on that one scene right after Duelist Kingdom. I don’t see Kisara letting him down right away. Not with his attitude

Sora and her familiar, Taka

Meet Morathz, Soraya’s chief guard and her least favorite person in Ahmana

“Kisara … the light which destroyed the evil god cannot reach my heart … for me … the world will never be truly bright again. Forgive me Kisara … The truth is, I never wanted to let you go … I wanted to imprison you in the jail of my heart … you would have been the one point of light in a soul consumed by darkness. Not your spirit Ka … not your dragon … I wanted your light, Kisara … I wanted you.”

“How many times do I have to tell you the Omnidroid isn’t a pet and it certainly isn’t a toy!”

Dani smiled, “But he likes it!”

You either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain. -The Dark Knight (Christopher Nolan) As the story progresses, Dani lives long enough to accept who she has become.

Some things money can’t fix. Like trauma

In love! Thankful someone else understands my hyperfixation!
