So I'm working through the final part of my next story when I realize let that, though I'm writing it for a fantasy competition, the setting is cyberpunk not classic fantasy. So my worry now is what exactly defines fantasy? Should I rework the descriptions to change the setting (since that would certainly be possible given the content) or leave it as is and try to argue that a story doesn't need all the classic fantasy elements in order to fall in to the fantasy genre?

Hey, thanks for taking the time to read & vote on the Dragon Chase.
It's good to know that someone thought something of it.
Happy reading out there

So in the story I'm working on everything's kinda pointing to one of the characters dying. But I've never killed one of the good, likeable characters before and it's proving to be kinda difficult, in that it'd be really gut wrenching and I kinda don't want to do it. Anybody have any advice? Should I try to work in a way for them to survive or should I go with it? If they do die, it would be a self-sacrifice for the main characters mission. The reason it's hard is because they're basically the main character's only friend.

@MagpieGD Yea, I hadn't even intended for this character to be in the story at first, it just kinda happened. The thing is that while the death would progress the plot, to do so it is dependent on a single rule I set up earlier in the story that may or may not be arbitrary, I'm not sure. If I changed that rule, I could change the direction of the story enough that the character doesn't die, but it might make slightly less sense.

@MagpieGD awesome! I love going dark. Sometimes people think it's too dark but . . . it's what I like!
MagpieGD
@dcompbooks I really did! It has the kind of dark, evil twist that I really enjoy reading and writing. It was great!

Second draft of Aube Rouge complete. Still waiting to hear back from my teacher, plus there are some larger story/continuity issues that need fixing. Might not have time to work on it this weekend though, so I'd like to say it'll be done Tuesday or Wednesday.
