I kid, I just like the gif. But I do prefer prequels.
When are sequels and prequels great to do? What makes a great sequel or prequel?
I believe a lot of us think about expanding our stories, whether it’s in the form of a sequel or a prequel ...

With the spooky season upon us, it is time to give homage to the spookiest of all creatures. The… familiar?
According to TV Tropes:
“This is based on the medieval belief that Satan granted demon servants (in animal form) to witches as part of their pacts and that “cunning folk ...
The motive ruined it for me...

I want to play a game…
Here we go lads, lasses, dummy thicc axes, I meant to do a movie review for Scream last week but I saw The Ruins and just felt the need to get into it.
Anyway for Scream! So, be warned, there are spoilers, probably bad ...
Looking in the Mirror

It's that turning point in your story.
Something grave has happened, and your main character is having to face a defining moment. A moment where they need to really look inside themselves, and weigh their options of who they are, who they want to be, and what it will ...
Not even Dora is exploring this.

So, I found a horror movie recently and even though it’s not serial killer horror or Halloween type of horror, it’s definitely scary.
The movie I will be talking about today: “The Ruins” (2008) – there will be spoilers, so please be warned. The following movie is for mature ...
So Spooky Season has Begun, eh?
damehelsing at 12:00AM, Oct. 3, 2021
Hi! So Spooky Season has begun and my brain has gone into fart mode and it's currently slow on bringing up topics right now!
But I thought something interesting would be to do a review on movies, pick them apart, talk about what's good and what's bad ...
Consequences & Familiarity
damehelsing at 12:00AM, Sept. 19, 2021
How many of you write serious/drama filled stories? Or even characters that truly suffer consequences?
I think it’s often that we, as creators and almost like parents, don’t want our kids/creations to suffer terrible consequences, but I think that’s one of the reasons that makes ...
When characters take on a life of their own
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, Sept. 17, 2021
As I was unwinding by absent-mindedly scrolling through Twitter, I happened upon a tweet asking if other writers/creators experience creating characters who take on a life of their own, and it got me to thinking. Recently I had drafted two scripts for one of our comics, only to then ...
Healing Your Inner Artist/Writer
damehelsing at 12:00AM, Sept. 5, 2021
Last week I made an article about how it’s ok to just stop and take a breather.
But now I wanted to talk about recognizing when you need to stop, when you can come back and the thought process you should take on while you’re away from your ...
Mundane Activities
Banes at 12:00AM, Aug. 26, 2021
A conceit or gimmick on the series ‘24’ was that it took place in real time. One hour on the show was one hour of activities, and the 24-episode season covered the events of a single day.
As entertainment, I loved that show, and appreciated the gimmick of it with ...
