It's not so much that we're nearing the end...

Think of it more like we're nearing the place in the story where things really start to lead toward other stuff that leads to the end.

This is just an organizational idea I had so that we can get a good idea of what needs to be written at some point in the future.

What do I want my character to have accomplished in this story?

Mayhem. Confusion. Killing things.

How should my character have changed, if at all, before the end?

Ha ha! Change is for the sane.

What is my character currently in the midst of doing?

Hunting Wereducks, standing by ineffectually while other people make Hissyfit do funny things.

What does my character still need to do to meet my end goal?

There should be a massive battle with wereducks. Many innocents will die before then.

What do I want my character to have accomplished in this story?

Having thoroughly confused everyone and then revealed himself as a pawn of evil, he needs to redeem himself with some last minute deed.

How should my character have changed, if at all, before the end?

He should be content with his true nature as an angelic-looking blond sweetie and leave behind (ish) his superiority complex.

What is my character currently in the midst of doing?

Stalking Lola ineffectively, looking for Alli to keep their appointment and accuse her of lycanthropy, and trying to dodge the Blue Wizards and Auntie Bellatrix who he double-crossed.

What does my character still need to do to meet my end goal?

Give up on Lola, change sides a few more times, be exposed as a Werewolf, change sides again, betray the Blue Wizards again, defeat Fenrir Greyback and be cured of lycanthropy by Severus Snape.

While negotiating the treaty and all that jazz.

What do I want my character to have accomplished in this story?

Help Hyarmenwë find his daughter, and continue living her *ehem* happy life.

How should my character have changed, if at all, before the end?

She should have forgiven Dracomir and decided to let her hair down (at least literally) for the rest of her life.

What is my character currently in the midst of doing?

Helping Hyarmenwë find his daughter. Specifically, meeting Bobawen in the tavern, doubting she is his daughter, finding out if she is, and being generally entangled with Elrogorn who needs to have a blockbuster, adrenaline-filled battle with an army of wereducks (that only because Elrogorn insists they're a fellowship of some sort, but I'm quite sure all she'll do is stand and watch until someone pulls her away from the battle scene).

I'm not quite sure if you're having a deja vu.

What does my character still need to do to meet my end goal?

I think she desperately wants to flash a sweet grin at Dracomir, but I'm worried that there might not be any mandrakes in Mordor should he be too late in shouting "Expelliarmus!" or disarming her in any other manner. In any case, she has to teach him a lesson. Somehow.

Other than the whole revenge thing, she needs to know if she really wants out of Mordor, and how to convince Roggie if she does. All the while doing her job as a Mordorian ambassador.

Being fair and all...

What do I want my character to have accomplished in this story? Alli needs to get over Mardil, work out her feelings for Aimè, figure out why Illamatar isn't talking to her, do something about it, and have a climactic werewolf confrontation that may or may not involve Blue Wizards and Malfoidacil.

How should my character have changed, if at all, before the end? She should lose her Sight with good grace and develop some sense of normalcy.

What is my character currently in the midst of doing? Hiding out from werewolves that will attack as soon as they discover her Sight. Getting Aimè to take her to the graveyard. Looking cool.

What does my character still need to do to meet my end goal? She needs to have a few deep thoughts, get to the graveyard, have a deep conversation with Aimè, a Long Awaited Chat with Malfoidacil, a bonding moment with Illamatar, and a climactic battle scene.

--

What do I want my character to have accomplished in this story? Roggie of Morgoth should develop a nice strong backbone, calm his temper, and actually take responsibility for his realm.

How should my character have changed, if at all, before the end? He will end on good terms with Mardil and will learn how to make decisions without any advisors. He will start to like his job.

What is my character currently in the midst of doing? Moping, lurking, possibly drinking. Wishing he was still acting.

What does my character still need to do to meet my end goal? Have a private meeting with Mardil. Have a Deep Thought.

---

What do I want my character to have accomplished in this story? Illamatar should have a bit of fun intervening at random intervals. Really, that's about it.

How should my character have changed, if at all, before the end? He shouldn't.

What is my character currently in the midst of doing? Watching life like it's television.

What does my character still need to do to meet my end goal? Play mind games for his own amusement. Maybe nudge a small creature into a volcano to stop the world from ending. That sort of thing.

My major trouble here is that I don't have a good idea of what I'm doing or trying to accomplish. I intended for Lola to be more of a cameo, and only incidental to the storyline, but she insists on hanging around and bothering the menfolk and her over-booked writer. Sorry I haven't gotten back to you, Rune. GTalk won't let me log in for some reason. I don't know when I'll have the time to write for Lola but I will try as soon as I can.

What do I want my character to have accomplished in this story?
Lola is pleased with herself and her life, and she's content enough not to worry about accomplishment much. Her current job allows her to do pretty much whatever she pleases, which suits her.

How should my character have changed, if at all, before the end?
Change is for less attractive people.

What is my character currently in the midst of doing?
Proving to Draco and Frej that they aren't worthy.

What does my character still need to do to meet my end goal?
Not much, really.
