Comsie Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 In any story, no matter how sweet and lovable it may be, there isn't much of a plot without a conflict of some sort. In online gay stories, that conflict can be any number of things. It can be society's disapproval, or a homophobic parent, or an inner struggle with the character's sexuality, or a rival in love. Whatever it is...it leads to the creation of a 'bad guy' in order to propel the story further Even if that bad guy is an intangible situation, or the main character himself. How do you go about creating a problem or an antagonist in a story? How do you come up with a significant threat that will 'test' your main character or love interest...but not crush them? And what are some ways to make the bad guy one of those characters that your readers just LOVE to hate? (We don't want to anger them to the point where they stop reading, after all!)
