Where would you like the Huxley Ghoules to appear?
- WICKED BOY 88
- The Taste of Ash 39
I just want to be clear that both Lucas Gotthardt and Seth Halabay are toxic “love interests,” and the main characters are meant to undergo quite a bit of character development in regards to their affections towards them.
This is for the sake of a bit of realism, as most of us have had unhealthy attractions or involvements in our life that we don’t really understand are unhealthy at the time.
One of the original struggles (and roadblocks) I had with each of these stories was the daunting task of introducing a new character — a love interest, that was comparable in intensity but healthier for main characters — that readers would be more excited about (as readers tend to get attached to the first love interest introduced, no matter how bad they are! Haha. There are also not many chapters of either Wicked Boy or The Taste of Ash to show you just how toxic Lucas and Seth are, so I understand.)
As you know, the character of “Rowan” (who I grew incredibly attached to before I made him toxic as well, mostly out of necessity, because people were jumping ship on Oliver and Tobias hahaha) and The Huxley Ghoules are being removed from Black velvet, to have the central focus be Tobias’ growth past his childhood trauma. (As it was initially)
“Rowan“ is being remade into someone just as severe and villainous feeling but as a (trust my character development, please!) actually, a healthy love interest for another story (I am so attached too his scenes and character, for some reason I enjoyed him and I hope you all did too!)
In which one of these stories would you like ”Rowan” and The Huxley Ghoules to be a part of? I have a very thorough plan for each, as I’ve spent a while considering this. Of course, I value you guys’ opinion above all else, and I have a difficult time choosing. I also have a back-up plan for each, so don’t worry.
