Writers Block Battering Ram discussion

is a dying plot.

More detail? *is confused*

Okay, so there is this dude named Chans Dentin who starts to get really sick. And it turns out that he is basically like a robot who can control lightening and electricity . . . ><

Hmm. What do you need help with? Plot? characters?

Sounds like a cool idea.

Plot. Characters. :D

okay. *puts on thinking cap* Well, for characters, you can't go wrong with a love of snickers bars, and an obsession with the Red Sox. Um... I posted Rick Riordan's character sheet in the 'characters' section.

For plot... Does he start to get sick slowly, or it it abrupt? What kind of sickness? Have you figured those things out yet? or is that what you need help with?

Okay, well if you want you can read the story a href="http://www.goodreads.com/story/show/2... . But basically, his sickness starts coming on a few months before the story starts. He throws up every food he eats and he gets really high fevers daily. I can't figure out what the PROBLEM should be . . .

hmm. There could be some people after him, or he accidentally sets fire to a few houses and the police are chasing him?

hmmm idk

what kind of problem are you looking for?

one where he turns like . . . evil. idk

okay, there should be a gang of evil people that recruit him.

but thats too subtle . . .

Maybe there could be an event in his "former life" (before he relized he's a robot) that could slowly be revieled in the story. Maybe their's someone whom he wants revenge on and now, having the power, he goes out to seek them.

that would be cool.

hmmm yah

I shal now fling electric wires at you! MUHAHAHA! Now, I will mess up your hard drive! MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA!

...

:)

He could start to go insane, because someone has crashed his hard drive? Or maybe he is a little like a human computer, and someone hacked him, and is taking control for short periods of time?

Maybe Chans Dentin can find out about a group of others who have the same issues he does. Is he an experiment? Who created him? And for what purpose? Is he going to be used to end the world? Save the world? Take down the government? If he turns evil, does that mean he will destroy all human life or force humans to turn into robots themselves? And how do his powers work? Do they come out when he's angry or does he have control over them?

I like the idea of someone hacking into him and contorling him for short periods of time. Would probably be whoever experimented on him.

and then it's the whole "who's the monster' internal controversy that comes up in some movies...

Seth? You still here?
