Tag's Light-Novel "Hanako" ( W.I.P)

[ClockHand]

There are no "antagonists" in a story, there are never multiple antagonists. Naruto or One Piece are not exceptions, both have a ver clear antagonist. In the case of Naruto the antagonist is hidden between pawns or character with other goals, while in One Piece there is a unique antagonist but there are small antagonist per arcs.

There are no plural antagonists, there is just one.

Now with this clear, if you want to make different "villains" fight between each other, search causes to provoke that. Example: fight of power inside the group.

And the same goes for fights with the protagonist or secondary characters, search causes, and see how the character should manage it.

ok...Sorry 'bout the "multiple antagonists" thing,had no clue if it was antagonist or antagonists!XD

but I think I got it now

[tag654]

Can someone help me out?
I have in my story,these large satelite like lasers in orbit that can cut continents in half etc,and things that can move those continents,the only thing is...I havent thought of why this would happen.....So the question is:

Realisticly,why would the continents or nations of this world want to make their nations/continents seperate like this.....?

And how would this effect the economy,because Having these machines would mean their able to spend even with a bad economy,which is contradicting the story,so yeah?

Help!?XD

[Peteman]

Well they wouldn't. Why go to all that effort to create massive earthquakes that kills all your people when you can just bomb the heck out of the other country or build a massive wall.

[tag654]

Exactly,but that's why im trying to find someone who CAN give me a possibility of why this could happen!XD

[SuperKasey]

Why do you want it to happen in the first place? Its a cool idea in theory but once you get down to the grit of the situation it's hardly practical nor useful and super satellites with lasers that can destroy continents starts sounding like sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads. Don't make stories work for your plot devices, make the plot device work for your story.

[tag654]

@SuperKasey very true,I guess its just Im trying to figure out how to create a fantasy like world in limitation of a futuristic world,so its not so...um...Real-life...you know...trying to create a world....(basing this off of the satellite theory/suggestion)....that would have unique lands and locations,and I guess its a struggle to do a setting like I want within the limits of the story...IDK...If u get what I mean,then please,any suggestions...advice?

- When I say fantasy world - I mean a world that still fits with the whole "future - 100 year" thing,but that has reasons to incorporate new things that would give the setting originality...


*If there is anyone good with settings and/or making maps,and would like to help me out,please do!

[SuperKasey]

Ever consider the concept of teraforming? Its a theoretical concept but that gives one room to play. You would have an earth-like setting with the ability to create new species of plants and animals and the bad guys the ability to change the climate/atmosphere.

[tag654]

I don't exactly understand,can you explain?From what I know about teraforming,it means people change the atmosphere to make a planet habitable or something?
But yeah,the main point is to give the setting more breathe room to expand off a realistic like story so that way its original from those that may resemble this one.....

[SuperKasey]

Yes that's what terraforming is.

Okay well lets say you terraform a planet so that it can sustain life. Then you've got to develop that life on the planet. Since this is sci-fi lets say they somehow found a way to speed up the natural process of evolution of life. Of course there was help from previously known earth species being introduced to the environment but since the planet is a little different from earth the flora and fauna evolve a little differently giving your your fantastic element. Then lets say the way they did this is through massive machines or satellites placed around the planet that keep the climate and atmosphere in check.

Again you don't need to use this and can dismiss it. Just trying to help with the idea process.
