This really contradicts how I see my character Katara. She doesn't want others to do her chores because she is bossy, but because she has her mind on "bigger things" like science and poetry. She is not motivated by power or riches.
Hello everyone,
I am here now. I totally get what you mean that it totally contradics her character. That's fair. I will keep it in mind and we can scrap that idea.
It also contradicts the Scriptures that say the three women must join forces and work together to prevail.
Also, we don't have enough info on the Scriptures and WHY they are important. But I understand what you're saying here.
We had a discussion in the past about how we'd like to see each of the three women changed by the journey, and we all agreed that the journey would be a character-building exercise for each of them.
Yes, agreed. We do need to create bonding moments and right now, we were just discussing how to raise the story stakes. Building a bond between characters takes time and I am willing to put in the work.
These three women are our protagonists. I strongly disagree with turning one into an antagonist.
Okay, that's fair. I will scrap that idea, too.
Why do you think Barnabas is an asshole?
Um, I just feel like he's not a very good guy. He's the leader of the Science division and seems like he's not the nicest person. Which is completely okay.

I like it.
In the name of consistency, of all we have established so far, this would not work.
Okay, scrap that too. I was merely throwing out ideas and this was one them.
I think the suggestion was to temporarily (not permanently) turn Katara on the queen's side. Part of her development would be realizing her mistake and then turn back to Olive and Ravenna.
I was thinking this would happen as well, but yes. Katara is your character
@Louanne Learning, so you have the final say. I want you to be happy with Katara's story arc more than anything else. So, we can take this idea off the table.
When it comes to how long I'm willing to work on this project: However long it takes to finish it. I don't mind writing ~850 words once every couple weeks for another year. I can't imagine getting burned out at that pace.
Okay, good to know. Now, I will agree and say, I would rather spend ages on this 1 story to get it right, then rush through it to get to another project. I am willing to spend a year or so on this one. Besides, there is so much to see and do in the world and I love roleplaying with all of you. So I am committed to however long you three want this story to be.
I think though, we need to all brainstorm a little to see what we want to do to raise the stakes of the story. Because I don't have any more ideas at the moment. Although, it could be external. The time-stop keeps spreading or something.
