What is your favorite 'aspect' of your novel?

IReidandWrite · Nov 24, 2009

For me, it's probably the fact that every single character has a foil. Sometimes they even crisscross.

How about you guys?

My MC. I love him.

In the new one it's the voice. The characters in general aren't as much fun as my last MC (hard to top him, in my book), but the story is first person POV and it's so much fun to write.

The banter. I have three brothers in my novel. Craig is reserved and sensible but Euan is snarky. I like snarky. He also swears a lot, which my word counter likes. The third brother has no personality as yet. He's spent 38k being lost and the other 1k unconscious.

Just as Kaitie, I love my MC too, because even if she can be considered as a superhero, she has many faults. She is a lovable character and I like to develop her character to the maximum.

But what my favorite aspect is? Maybe the overall theme of my world, that I know it has no frontiers and it can be expanded to anything later. Also I like it's philosophical aspect, the moral values as it's been presented and I love how it is showing this philosophical aspect as a mirror to our present world and our present dilemmas.

My villain. When he enters the picture, the novel actually all comes together, so some readers have told me.

All of it. It's mine, every lovingly hand-crafted word of it.

Kaiser-Kun · Nov 24, 2009

My main character reminds me of Ralph Wiggum. Only he's 20-years old and able to use magic.

Kitty Pryde · Nov 24, 2009

My MC and his will to carry on in the face of his extreme uselessness. I love him so so so much.

Steam&Ink · Nov 24, 2009

I love that my MC will just say what she's thinking with little or no thought for her own safety or other people's feelings...

Stijn Hommes · Nov 25, 2009

Without a doubt, I love my characters the most. They somehow manage to get through all the stuff I throw at them, no matter how ridiculous it is and they always manage to make sense of it. They practically do my research for me...

ejaycee · Nov 25, 2009

My characters. I either love them or I hate them, but they're all my favourites.

Also, the magic system. I adore my magic system. I could go on for ages about my magic system.

Maiah · Nov 25, 2009

The interactions between the characters, whether those between the primary characters, secondary characters, or somewhere in between. I love them.

It's the interactions that keep the story going, and I'm particularly pleased if it's going the way I want it to be.

Moonfish · Nov 25, 2009

I love how this story knows what it wants, and isn't afraid to tell me...

My MC.

Same here.

For some reason, I started writing my WIP in first person, and I NEVER do that. But I love it! And I love my MC! She's hilarious!

C.M.C. · Nov 25, 2009

My favorite aspect is that it's done.

Fredster · Nov 25, 2009

The action.

Bad guys, guns, car chases, shootings, crashing trucks, SWAT teams, a serial killer, and a dogfight between a news chopper and an F-35 Lightning II over the Las Vegas Strip.

And that's just the first act.

Khimera9 · Nov 25, 2009

I love the dialogue between two characters. So much you can learn and so much that can be said.

Maxinquaye · Nov 25, 2009

My MC, and because he's so hard to write. I can't explain it better than that. He makes me work for it. His only response when I try to get some sense of what he wants to do is a grunt. Then he just looks at me as if I'm the most stupid person in the world before he puts the earplugs in.

Linda Adams · Nov 25, 2009

Favorite aspect of a novel? I could say it's the treasure hunt part, or the omniscient viewpoint, or the humor--but the truth is that my favorite aspect is all of it.

Rhys Cordelle · Nov 25, 2009

My antagonist. He fascinates me, and he drives the plot.

Caitlin Black · Nov 25, 2009

My favourite part is that my feeble attempt at romance actually adds a lot of depth to the characters.

Idkwiaowiw · Nov 25, 2009

My characters. I've never had so much fun. I've also never gone as in-depth with them as I am now, so that could explain some of it.

roonil_wazlib · Nov 25, 2009

In my Western WIP, it's my MC. He's so weird and creepy and almost endearing. The bad guys are pretty awesome, too. Dirty, filthy, vile things that they are, they're still damn fun to write.

In my new WIP (under 10k), it's the setting. Fall in a small Maine town. Once I get vacation time, I'm planning on heading over to Maine for a week or so, just so it's not painfully obvious it's a Coloradoan writing about a state she's never been to. And the MCs four-year-old daughter is pretty awesome, too.

JoNightshade · Nov 25, 2009

The humor. I worked really hard at it and judging by the responses from my writing group, it's paid off. I'm not a naturally funny person so I'm particularly proud of the fact that they keep saying "And it's SO funny!"

The sex scene.
