Giving Your Characters Flaws and Goals

EelKat on Character Creation

By Wendy C Allen

Well, this page was written in 2017 and hasn't been updated since. I think it's time for an update. Don't you? Today is June 22, 2021, let's update this page...

Character Flaws and Goals
How clear does an author have to be about the morals of their characters?

>>>How clear does an author have to be about the morals of their characters?

I believe that the best characters are "grey".

Good characters can do bad things, bad characters can do good things.

Heroes can be cruel.

Villains can feed the homeless.

Readers know this is the hero, but they know he's not a saint.

They know this guy is the villain, but they know he's not evil for the sake of being evil - he has a motive: revenge, greed, etc. driving him to do bad things, but he may not actually be a bad person.

That said, I don't think the author has to be specific on the morals of the characters. Real people can change their morals so why can't fictional characters? Real people often have conflicting morals, so why can't fictional characters?

>>>We live in an era of heightened moral sensitivity. There is great concern about fixing the many social ills of the world and one of the chief areas of this is in fiction.

Nah.

People read fiction because they want to escape reality.

I go far the opposite of curing society and let my characters run amuck. They swear, they use the N-word, they are often racist, one of them preaches purity of blood, rape and murder happens on the page - not faded to black or talked about after the fact and it's the 3 MCs who are doing the rape and murder. It's in your face and not only steps on sensitive snowflake toes, it smashes the sensitive snowflakes out the window - literally - one novel in the series, they storm a publishing house and murder all the sensitivity beta readers with teddy bear soldiers (yes, I DID publish that in 2014 a couple of weeks after the infamous Teddy Bear meltdown that introduced sensitivity readers to the world)

I don't sell out on the things that are important to me just because they are "too political" for whining crybabies, I mean sensitive snowflakes.

I was the editor in chief of 2 magazines for 16 years, and you want to know what that job taught me? This: The professional publishing industry is a dog eat dog career of climb to the top and crush everyone in your way to get there, and that ladder is built on a foundation of crushed snowflakes.

Social justice warriors scream for diverse books, but readers, they just want a good story. How many SJW actually READ books? Not many. They don't know readers want.

PC activists demand pushing minority characters to the top, while at the same time demanding every one write their own race. But only 12% of America is minority race and that's combining ALL minority races together, the fact remains, there are not enough minority writers to rely on them to write enough minority characters to meet the demands of PC activists, who don't speak for readers. Few readers care what race the characters are. Most readers say race is so unimportant to most stories, that the characters are better left with no race mentioned so the reader can self insert their own race.

I am myself a "person of colour" though I dislike that term, because it segregates me as being too different to be accepted as just a part of the human race. PoC is a label and I dislike labels. Whatever happen to we are all human and embracing multiculturalism? But do you know, even though I write my characters as the same race as me, readers still get mad.

Why?

It would take all day to make a complete list. Every one has a bone pick. A common one though is the lecherous character, BoomFuzzy, I'll speak more of in a minute.

To put it simply: he black, he has bum length dreadlocks, he's a gang leader, he makes and sells drugs, he's lewd, he's crude, he's vulgar, his dialogue is written in a broken English accent, he's violent, he's an abuser, he's a rapist, he's a murderer, he practices Voodoo, and he's gay. Yeah. Pretty much EVERYTHING that the SJW say you SHOULD NOT write a black man as, I've written him as, and has done so for 43 years now. He's not a new character, and he's only a few years from the 50th anniversary of his creation.

He is both the most hated and the most loved character I write. Fans adore him and want more of him. Haters, well, haters hate, and they hate him most of all.

There are people who demand I change him, because he's everything you "should not" write about a black man. But... he's the same race as me, he speak the same accept and broken English as me, I grew up in what most people would call "slums" around gangs, my uncles made drugs, sold drugs, and well, it doesn't much research to find out what gang my uncles are the leaders of, there are literally thousands of TV and newspaper news reports, prison records, I'm a Voodoo Priestess a religion that has been in our family since the 1640s, all the men in our clan our violent, I have 2 uncles and 14 cousins all in prison for rape. Gang wars, drive by shootings, those were a daily part of my childhood.

Yeah.

I grew with bad people.

It's not a secret.

But you know what... I write what I know.

I grew up in a counter culture that most mainstream white Americans, couldn't even begin to comprehend or even imagine that it existed. And I write that culture, that lifestyle, simply because, it's what I know.

I'm not going to sugar coat what slum lord gang life is like.

It's brutal.

It's violent.

Most children get their first gun for their 8th birthday and are proficient at using in in less than a year.

Most children will witness at least one murder before they are 10.

Most children are selling drugs on the street before they are 12.

Most girls are prostitutes before they are 14.

Most will be hurt or killed by a drive by shooting before they are 18.

That's the reality of the "American underground counter culture" that I was raised in and that the publishing industry would rather never appeared in novels, because they want sweep it under the rug and pretend it doesn't exist because they want to show every minority as a glowing saint.

Well guess what, your skin colour doesn't determine if you are bad or good. Good exists in every race. And bad exists in every race as well. And if we minorities write characters of our race as glowing saints who do no wrong, than we are part of the problem.

People turn a blind eye to the criminal underground of America. But I grew up in that criminal underground. I was 8 years old, when a 10 year old boy, my cousin, standing right beside me, got a bullet in his eye and out the back of his head. And that's the type thing children see every day. But no one talks about it, because it's too political.

While I trade publish other book, I HAVE to self publish this series, because no publisher will touch it. They treat it like it's the plague. "You can't write stuff like that" they say. "People want happy thoughts!"

Well, you know what, I'm a writer who writes what I know, and I know the criminal gang underground of America, very, very, very well. And I don't care how many social justice warriors want to scream that you have to write all minorities as good, never villains, never gangsters, never rapists, no, no, no, no, no! You might step on some toes!

Well, maybe it's time someone started stepping on toes.

The problem with the people who scream the loudest, is they are also the people who read the least, so they do not represent what actual readers, actually want.

And those white people out screaming for minority rights and diversity in books, they don't know what it is like to live with boards nailed over your windows praying the boards are thick enough to keep bullets out so you don't get shot by a drive by in your sleep. They don't know what it is like to be an 8 year old girl and sleep on a pile of hay, not a bed, and be dragged out of that by an uncle who needs money for drugs, so he brought a wealthy priest over from the church to rape you, because the priest is willing to pay a lot of money to do so.

Those SJWs marching around with their signs and screaming for diversity and accurate representation in books, they haven't got a clue. Because after they get done marching with their signs, they go sleep in a warm, dry bed, and nice big house, and they don't have to worry about being shot to death in their sleep or dragged out of bed to be raped by one of your uncles' friends from church.

They don't want REAL diversity in books, they don't want REAL representation of minorities and minority culture... they want familiar white upper class neighbourhood with a few token minorities so they can pat themselves on the back and think they did a good deed by putting a coloured person in a rich white person setting.

Well guess what? I write what I know.

I write my characters the same race as me, and living the same lifestyle and culture I grew up with, and if SJWs don't like that, well, I think they need to rethink their so-called morals ad the their motives behind why they want sensitivity in books.

>>>In my own work I have made several characters that are not particularly moral people. That’s not uncommon but in the process, I ran into a problem, and I wanted some other opinion on it.

Same. All 3 of my MCs fall into the classification of being supervillains, but none of them sees themselves as evil.

MC1 -Quaraun- sees himself as doing good. If he sees a pregnant woman being beating up by her husband/boyfriend, he won't think twice about about rescuing the girl and her unborn baby, by splattering the abuser's head all over the sidewalk. If he sees a gang of bullies picking on a kid, even if the bullies are themselves children, he'll grab the victim and obliterate the bullies - yes murder them. He is a serial killer and he has killed thousands of people. He doesn't hide what heroes, he openly admits it, by stating outright: "Never suffer a bully to live, kill them all". He was bullied, horrifically as a child and was too weak and sickly to fight back, one day a friend stood up to the bullies and was killed. Guilt drove him to kill those bullies years later, but he didn't stop with them and devoted his like to eliminating all bullies from the world. But he has morals. He never kills any one who is innocent, and he's quite proud of his high moral standard of only killing people who deserved to die. In spite of his belief in his own high moral standards, he drinks absinthe with LSD laced sugar cubes, while smoking opium from a hookah. He is often too high, too dazed, or too drunk to be fully in control of his mental faculties.

MC2 -BoomFuzzy- was abused as a child and blames that for everything; he started his life of crime young, by killing and eating his father. A lewd, crude, vulgar, sex crazed pervert, he thinks nothing of blowing up an entire town and killing everyone if some brat child threw a rock at him. By far the most violent of the 3 he openly admits it is difficult for him to empathise with others and that people are easy to kill because he spent his live unloved and unwanted by everyone and so everyone could die and he wouldn't care. A drug making pastry chef, he is not beyond drugging someone's food so he can rape them and he frequently does exactly that, often making drugged chocolates and giving them to people. If he drugged you so he could rape you, he's likely going to kill you, and cook you in the next meal he makes for his next victim.

MC3 -GhoulSpawn- sees himself as having very high moral standards and there are many things he would never do. For example, he's never killed anyone, nor would he. But he has a coat lined with hundreds of pockets, each pocket is actually a bag of holding, and hell steal anything that's not nailed down, for no reason at all. It doesn't have to be anything of value, he just can't resists taking anything left sitting unattended. A portal master who can change time, he became addicted to changing history, just because he could. He causes the end of the world, and he could go back in time to undo what he did, but the addiction to making things progressively worse, instead sends him ever back in time, to see how much worse he can make things become.

I don't believe in groveling to "politically correct sensitive snowflake terrorism". By my mind, far too many authors are being pulled around by their balls, by social justice warriors and it's stifling creativity and causes an onslaught of bland, flavorless books being published because authors are to scared of being castrated by SJWs to write how they feel any more.

>>>Let’s use the example of a character who is lecherous.

In reading your examples, I'm not sure you know what the word lecherous means. It's A LOT more than comments, jokes, and whistles.

A lecherous person will grope boobs, squeeze balls, slaps bottoms, dry hump strangers... and one of my 3 MCs does exactly that all the time. He's lewd, he's vulgar, he thinks nothing of grouping strangers, and it doesn't matter how other characters respond, he just keeps doing it.

He'll get punched out by siblings/parents/partners of the person he's sexually harassing and he'll just turn around and punch them right back. And he probably won't stop punching them until he's driven his fist through their face and out the back of their skull - he's done exactly that in several scenes in several novels of the series.

BoomFuzzy is evil. Very, very evil. And he don't take shit from no one.

>>>Can they be a main character who is unquestionably the hero?

The series have a primary main character and 2 secondary main characters. He is one of the secondary. But he is NOT represented as a "hero" and not an "anti-hero" either. In fact all 3 of them are villains.

The story is told from the perspective of three undefeatable super villains, who are now elderly/senior citizens and have slaughtered every single hero and/or adventuring party who ever tried to stop them. They didn't know each other in youth, meeting after they got too old to keep being super villains.

>>>Do they have to correct their flaw or even have it challenged?

The sex-crazed lecher is one of the above mentioned main character trio. BoomFuzzy has been a lustful, lecherous pervert his entire life, and he has no plans of stopping. And I've no plans to ever write him even trying to stop. This is who he is.

The same can be said for the other 2 MCs.

I don't pussy foot around with my villains.

They ain't Disney villains.

They are not going to change. They won't try to redeem themselves, and they'll continue to kill the heroes who try to stop or redeem them. They'll continue to rape, kill, steal, and destroy the world. It's who they are.

I should probably point out, the genre is SplatterPunk Gorn, set in a Fantasy world. It's grizzly, it's graphic, there are bookstores that won't carry my books, most people don't have the stomach for what I write.

>>>Should it impact the story and if so how? Is it fine to just have them be slapped comedically for their comments? Should it be treated with gritty realistic drama, as their female coworker has them fired. Should they be struck by lightning every time they wolf whistle?

It does.

His absolute inability to keep his hands to himself gets the trio in trouble all the time. While it's never been a primary plot to any of the novels, it is definitely an underlying "thread" that runs through the entire series and is seen prominently in every story.

How it gets treated depends on the situation, the characters he's with, the culture of the locals there at the time, etc.

It usually leans towards the gritty realism, with him often getting into fist fights, bar room brawls, etc. And the trio being wizards, should his actions cause trouble for the MC - Quaraun.

Quaraun WILL hit him with lightening bolts, that has actually happened quite a few times.

Though, MC Quaraun, doesn't toss spells at the lecher because he's a lecher, it'll be for something like, the lecher and the victim's boyfriend where fighting and landed on his table, knocking his food on the floor, so he zapped them both for knocking over the table and couldn't care less about the lecher stopping his lecherous actions.

This is true for each MC. They are 3 men with violent tempers, bitter pasts, and come hell or high water attitudes.

>>>My instinct is to say that the audience can decide for themselves how they feel about a character’s behavior without me explicitly telling them or implicitly having karma punish them. But this is a subjective issue and I would like some of your feedback.

>>>How much should I as the author dictate to the audience whether a character is good or bad?

Well I don't know about other authors, but, I'm not the reader's baby sitter. There are 27 countries that require my books to be sold under a M21+ rating. If the reader is old enough to even BUY one of my books, and my books are sold in stores that require an ID card to even get into the store, than they are old enough to not need a babysitter or a gatekeeper to tell them what they can and can't read.

My readers are adults, they don't need to be spoon fed baby food, so I don't hold back in writing.

If someone gets upset or offended by what I write, that's on them, not me. It's a THEM problem, not a me problem. I'm not going to censor myself just to powder their soiled diaper.

If they ain't mature enough to react or behave civilly after reading one of my books, then they weren't mature enough to buy the book to begin with.

It's not my job to preach a message of morals - right or wrong - be good or else - to my readers. My job is simply to tell a story. SJWs want us authors to run around whipping the snot out of every readers' nose and changing every readers' diapers, because heaven forbid we write something that might offend anyone and make them cry, or worse make them think. Heaven forbid free will exists, in a world of self righteous morals that show only the world through rose coloured glasses and sweep everything the SJWs want forget under the rug.

The world is fast becoming a place where nothing starry eyes happy go lucky white characters wearing colored skin becomes the norm in publishing.

Minority characters with high end 9 to 5 jobs? That's not the real world. That fantasy exists only in "diverse novels".

Minority characters driving new cars and wearing high society fashions? Oh please! That's not the real world. That fantasy exists only in "diverse novels".

Minority characters who live in suburbia, never dealt drugs, never were part of gangs? That's not the real world. That fantasy exists only in "diverse novels".

Minority characters with insert something only found in wealthy white culture here, like SmartPhones? That's not the real world. That fantasy exists only in "diverse novels".

Seems to me that the more diverse novels claim to be, the less diverse they actually are.

Books that are supposedly diverse are the most dull, drab, cookie cutter, unimaginative drivel out there. Characters have no personality, no background, no history, nothing to connect them with the real world.

Authors check off the boxes in their diversity checklist:

"Now, I added the token gay friend and the token black friend and the token smart Asian kid and the token strong girl and now all I need is the token Middle Eastern kid and my book is ready to publish! Yay! Now I changed this white character into the token black boy and I changed that big bully who beats everyone up into a girl, which why character can I change into the Middle eastern boy? Oh wait, my list says I need a Native American and and East Indian as well now? But I don't have that many characters! Damn. I'm going to have to write in 2 more white kid and change their nationality before publication. Now where can I add 2 more characters? Gotta be diverse, you know."

It's become ridiculous.

Authors are no longer allowed to just write their story.

White authors are belittled and made to feel bad if they don't add characters of colour, because "it's all white power, if you are not diverse, blah, blah, blah". So, they add colored characters because they were told they had too. And than, those same white authors are mad to feel bad if they DO add characters of colour! Because "Oh, you don't know what it's like to be me, only someone of my colour can write my color."

Oh boo-hoo!

Do you have life experience in being an Elf? Or a wizard? Or a Dwarf? Or a Medieval Knight? No! And you don't need it because you have imagination!

Diverse novels are nothing but blackface: white characters, living white lives, working white jobs, having white friends, enjoying the privilege of white culture, not knowing the slums, not knowing the gangs, but described as Black, Asian, Native American, Gypsy, Irish... for no other reason than to satisfy white readers' need to feel like they've been inclusive and they call it diverse, because it has coloured faces slapped onto obviously white characters, living white culture.

But than, try being a minority person of colour writer and write/show a minority character, living ACTUAL REAL WORLD minority lifestyle, show the drug dealers, show the rapists, show the gangs, show the prostitutes, show the homeless, show the starving children, and the SJWs come out of the woodwork screaming, "Those are bad stereotypes, you can't write that it makes minorities look bad! We have to make minorities look good! Shame on your for writing your own race the way your people actually live!"

No matter what you do, you can't win with these people.

* Whites can't write white characters that's all white power if they do.

* Whites can't write coloured characters because that's all colonialism if they do.

* Colours can't write white characters because they are doing an injustice to their race by not writing characters the same as them.

* Colours can't write their own race/culture as it actually is because who their people are in the real world is too offensive.

Whites can't write whites.
Coloured can't write whites.
Whites can't write coloured.
Coloured can't write coloured.
Straights MUST write gays.
Straight CAN'T write gays.
Women can't write men.
Men can't write women.

Well what else is left? Are we supposed to just write metal robots.

At this rate, no one will be able to write ANY ONE without Twitter's cancel culture calling out for the total destruction o their career. We'll all be forced to write metal robot characters, but hey, computer rights activists will rise up and we won't even be able to write those.

Is our society now iRobot? Is that really what our world has become?

Or is it Lord of the Flies? A world ruled by children, after they killed all the adults? A world where 10 year olds run to Twitter and control EVERRYTHING because EVERYONE business, politicians, governments, publishing houses, authors are all too scared of 10 year old children cancelling them on Twitter, to be who they really are, to say what they really feel.

10 years on Twitter rule the world today, We ARE living in Lord of the Flies. That's what our world is today. A world where 7 billion adults are lead around by a ring through their noses, by 8 million 10 year old children on social media. The adult masses bow and scrap to the children of Twitter.

>>>How clear does an author have to be about the morals of their characters?

Maybe we should reword the question to something like this:

**How many self righteous asses does an author have to kiss when creating their characters?**

Are we the brown nose society groveling in the shit of the masters? Or are we free people with free will and free minds of our own to think for ourselves?

>>>We live in an era of heightened moral sensitivity.

No.

Actually we don't.

* Divorce rate is at it's highest ever in history.

* In 2019, there were 57k (fifty seven thousand) streamer girls under the age of 18, were raped by a man who sent them money via Twitch

* 9,000 babies are murdered by their mothers every day JUST in America

* 98% of all couples live together, as marriage rates plummet to their lowest in history

* as of June 2021, more than 20,000 (twenty thousand) people have died this year, by drive by or mass shootings, the highest of any year in history

* just last month, one month, saw 7 million gun sales, in just one state - one state, one month - the highest amount of gun sales ever

* so far in 2021, not even 6 months into 1 year, in America there have been TWICE as many murders of gay, lesbian, and trans people, as there were in the entire of the 1970s - more in 6 month, than in 10 years

* crimes against Asians are at their highest since 1849

* car jackings have tripled, in the last 6 months

* in America, there were more riots in just one year 2020, than there were in the entire of the 1900s - more in 1 year, than in 100 years

* right now, in Maine, in 2021, just one state in America, an average of 12 children die each day from starvation - a rate per capita that is 70% HIGHER than how many children die from starvation each day in Africa

If our moral sensitivities were ACTUALLY higher, those numbers would be at the lowest in history, not their highest.

People screaming they want squeaky clean morals in books, are full of shit if they think they have high morals. They are hypocrites. They don't have high morals, they just want to not see reality. They have the lowest morals of all, because they want to bury reality, not fix.

A person with high morals, seeks to help the starving homeless gangster minority children in their town, not pretend they don't exist.

People who claim they have high morals, really don't. They just want fluffy bunnies and bright coloured rainbows, gumdrops and lemon pops, to make themselves feel good as they walk over the homeless on their street.

They want white-washed minorities in their white washed diversity novels so they can feel good when the starving children on their streets get murdered in the crossfire of a gangster drive by. "Oh well, so little child died, but at least I wrote a coloured rich kid in my novel".

>>>We live in an era of heightened moral sensitivity.

No we don't.

This era has fewer morals than any era before it.

What we live in is a society that wants to sweep everything under the rug and pretend the world is all kittens and roses.

They may have a heightened sensitivity to seeing reality, but they have have the lowest morals in history of mankind, because rather than MAKE actual changes, they just want to toss a white blanket over everything and pretend there is nothing underneath.

THAT is WHY they scream for us authors to NOT show the bad side of anything.

THAT is WHY they want all our characters in all of our novels to be written squeaky clean.

They don't actually want morally good characters, they just don't want to be reminded of reality. They want to hide reality so they don't to think about it. They want reality to not be there so they can sleep at night. They want the world to change, but they don't want to BE the change, so they demand we authors write the changed world THEY want so they don't have to bother BEING the change they want to see.

They want us authors to do the work of changing the world for them, in our fictional novels, so that they can pretend the real world is changed and they didn't have to lift a figure to change it.

They want to sit on Twitter ordering us authors around, but they are too lazy to get off their asses and put into action, those high morals they supposedly have.

Authors like me, we bother them, because we give our characters REAL flaws, that our culture ACTUALLY has in the REAL world. And they don't like that. They want minority characters to be the way they THINK minority people SHOULD be. They don't want to see minority characters AS THEY REALLY ARE.

YES. I write black character, with bum length dreadlocks, who is a gang leader, and he makes and sells drugs, he's lewd, he's crude, he's vulgar, his dialogue is written in a broken English accent, he's violent, he's an abuser, he's a rapist, he's a murderer, he practices Voodoo, and he's gay. Yeah. Pretty much EVERYTHING that the SJW say you SHOULD NOT write a black man as, I've written him as, and has done so for 43 years now. He's not a new character, and he's only a few years from the 50th anniversary of his creation.

But guess what?

I'm not white.

My dreadlocks are 42" long.

I speak "broken English", my language in every day conversation is crude and vulgar.

I'm a Voodoo priestess.

I grew up in a gang.

I was and still am right now, a gang leader.

I require a body guard to go with me to do my shopping at WalMart.

I was homeless and living under an 8x6' tarp for 9 years.

My uncles were drug dealers.

My cousins were prostitutes.

2 of my cousins are waitresses in topless bars.

I've seen more than 30 friends and family gunned down in drive by shootings.

This is the life I grew up in.

Maybe it is a stereotype to write minority races living in crime infested slums, but you know what, it's a stereotype, because us real world minorities, we really do live in crime infested slums.

I'm sorry if the social justice warriors of Twitter's cancel culture, don't want to see characters like that because they have heightened moral sensitivity, but guess what, I can't change how me and millions of other minorities grew up, and I'll certainly not pretend it never happened, sweep it under a rug, and write my minority characters living in some tuttie-fruttie white suburbia that no real world minority lives in, doing charity work that no real world minority does, driving fancy cars no real world minority can afford, working jobs no real world minority can get, no matter how many SJWs scream of the need for morals and sensitivity.

Life ain't pretty. So why should our novels be? Why should we pretend our fictional characters are any different from their real world counterparts?

You know what, if they can't stomach the reality of how real minority children grow up in the real world, and think it's better to turn a blind eye to that lifestyle and pretend it doesn't exist, well than maybe they ought to rethink being warriors of social justice, because while they are preaching morals, they certainly ain't practicing what they preach, and they definitely have no clue what either the words social or justice mean.

Fact remains, I'm no one nurse maid. If readers want to piss their pants over how offended they are, they can do that, but if they expect anything they say/demand to change how I write my characters, well they can just burn in Hell.

>>>How clear does an author have to be about the morals of their characters?

As clear as mud if they want to be.

>>>We live in an era of heightened moral sensitivity. There is great concern about fixing the many social ills of the world and one of the chief areas of this is in fiction.

We live in a sad era where it's seen as bad to write the horrible truth.

We live in a sad era where it's seen as good to write the pretty lie.

Everyone wants to see the great and powerful wizard of Oz, but no one wants to see the little man behind the curtain who pulls all the strings.

>>>How much should I as the author dictate to the audience whether a character is good or bad?

None.

Nothing.

You're not their mother.

It's not your job to teach your readers right from wrong, good from bad.

>>>Let’s use the example of a character who is lecherous. Can they be a main character who is unquestionably the hero?

Yes, they can.

The only reason you don't see that sort of thing more often, is because authors are scared of backlash. A well justified fear, unfortunately. The 10 year old children of Twitter CAN destroy an author's career in a matter of minutes, with just one Tweet, if that Tweet goes viral.

Sad reality is, a lot of authors are living pay check to paycheck, working part time jobs to make ends meet, and every penny counts. And while their book money may not be much, losing that income, may be just enough to make them homeless, put their children on the streets. So they can't risk pissing off the 10 year old children of Twitter. For a lot of authors, it really is a matter of life and death, to write squeaky clean, step on no toes characters, or write write the truth of cultures as they are. They can't risk their children living in a car in some dark alley, so they can't risk writing the world as it is.

If there was less threat of 10 year old white privileged children, using their $2,000 SmartPhones to condemn poor minority children to homelessness, via the high and mighty silver spoons of Twitter, you'd see more minority authors writing more accurate to real world minority characters.

>>>Do they have to correct their flaw or even have it challenged?

No.

They don't.

And the 10 year old children of Twitter aren't our peers, so why do so many authors feel the need to bow and scrap before the snobby brat children of rich white men? Tell me that.

Twitter is Lord of the Flies brought to life. And anyone who bows to the whims of cancel society is a fool.

If you've never read it, read Lord of the Flies, than look at Twitter's cancel culture with new eyes and you'll see how utterly foolish people are to let children control the world through social media.

>>>Should it impact the story and if so how?

If your name is not Aesop, that you got no reason to put moral lessons in your story.

It's YOUR story, write it YOUR way.

If you WANT your story to teach a moral lesson, that's fine. Go ahead and write it that way. Nothing wrong with that at all.

But if you are ONLY adding a moral lesson because you feel like you'll get attacked by Twitter cancel culture, than, are you REALLY teaching any moral lessons at all?

I mean think about it. When you tuck your tail between your legs and write moral lessons ONLY out of the fear of backlash, the only lesson you are teaching anyone is how to be a castrated coward with no balls.

If you don't stand for something, you're going to fall for anything, and once you fall, the SJWs are just going to run right over you and trample you into the mud.

SJWs and Twitter's cancel culture, are power hungry. They don't care about high morals. They only care that they can get the world to grovel at their feet.

If you are happy to grovel at the feet of tyrants, well than you go right ahead and do that. Me? I'd rather stand on my own two feet. I'd rather my morals, actually be MY morals and not morals that some tyrant forced me to pretend I have.

Any dead fish can float with the flow, it takes a live fish to swim against what is popular, swim upstream and stand up for what is ACTUALLY right, but not necessity popular.

Maybe my morals are different from the morals of Twitter. Maybe some of Twitter's morals aren't so very moral at all and I don't want any part of their hypocrisy. Maybe, I think the 9,000 daily baby murders are crimes and those so called liberal mothers are nothing but cold hearted murders who deserve the death penalty just like every other child murderer. Maybe, I see the high polluting morals of Twitter, as an utter, absolute lack of morality masked as high morals.

Maybe, my characters aren't perfect, but you know what? Neither am I.

I'm not perfect, so why should I write a perfect character?

My culture, my race, my people, they get stereotyped as criminals, but you know what, maybe there's a reason for that, maybe it's because they ARE criminals.

Maybe it's bad to write my race, my culture, my people as slum lords, thugs, drug dealers, and gangsters, but you know, maybe it's just as ad to hide the reality of the fact that REAL people in my race ARE in fact slum lords, thugs, drug dealers, and gangsters.

Maybe, if my people, my culture,, my race really WANTED to be seen as good character in novels, maybe they should try to be good people in REAL life. Because guess what?

I write from experience and I experienced far more bad than good, in my culture, I saw more people growing up, than I saw good people.

Maybe if they wanted us writers to write them in a good light, maybe, they should look in the mirror and see themselves the way I saw them, through the eyes of a terrified child, who knew no safety, no love, spent every day of my childhood in fear of being shot, was raped weekly, sometimes daily -from the time I was 4 years old til the time I was 17 years old- by my uncle's drug dealing gangster friends.

Maybe, if they REALLY wanted to be presented as good people in fiction, maybe they should try being good people in real life.

I give my characters real world flaws, and I make them real world unrepentant, feeling no guilt for what they do, and getting away with it, walking free for murder, rape, vandalism, thievery, drugs, gang wars, drive bys, just like they do in the real world.

My advice to my fellow writers is this:

Write the book YOU want to read.

Write the characters YOU want to read.

Tell YOUR story, about YOUR characters, YOUR way.

To hell with the sensitive snowflake social justice warriors and their fake morals.

Fact is, I got tired of seeing my race, my culture, my people portrayed as lovely dovey, commit no evil, do no wrong, live suburbia acting like white people painted dark, when the reality is, my people are not like that.

I write my characters as my own race, my own culture, and make them just as dark, bad, evil, unremorseful, and unrepentant as they are in real life.

Leopards don't change their spots.

Men like my uncles, they don't change their ways because some goody-two-shoes came along and preached at them.

No.

If a novel-type hero went up to my uncles and told them "what you doing is bad, join us in the fight for right and good" my uncles would pullout a gun, and blow the hero's face off before he even had time to finish monologuing his good guy exposition, and than they would toss his body in the nearby ravine, where it's be eaten by catfish and lobsters. They are not going to change. They keep going to prison, and when they get back out, they go right back to their crimes every time.

Real world evil men like my uncles do not repent and change their ways. So why should my fictional characters based off of them act any different?

Stay true to the type person your character is.

If he's a jack ass dick, than you write him as a jackass dick.

If he's not redeemable, than don't write him as redeemable.

It's YOUR character, in YOUR story. Write him whatever way YOU want him.

**Give your characters flaws and lack of morals, no respect for decency, no desire to change, no one challenging them to change, and make no apologies for it. If readers don't like it, that's their problem not yours.**

As Ricky Nelson said: "You can't please everyone, so you might as well please yourself."

>>>(P.S. While I understand that this topic touches upon personal philosophy and perhaps even politics, I hope that we can discuss this civilly in the common understanding that we are all only trying to create good art.)

And, here is the original article, from 2017:

Character Flaws and Goals

Discussion in 'Character Development' started by Chrisso, Oct 24, 2017.

Hi there, I'm a new writer and am seeking some advice in relation to developing a character for a screenplay I'm attempting to write, specifically regarding flaws and their relation to a character's pursuit of their goal in a story.

A lot of the advice I've read about developing the protagonist character stress that you need to determine what his/her flaw and main goals are, and that their flaw should be something that he/she needs to overcome in order to achieve that goal.

My question is, what if the main hindrance to the protagonist's pursuit of his/her goal is actually completely external, and unrelated to any of his/her character flaws? Would you still create flaws for that character, and let them overcome those flaws throughout their character arc (or not), while he/she is simultaneously attempt to pursue their goal? Or would they not be required?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

As I'm reading this, I'm trying to recall if I've ever consciously gone out of my way to add flaws to any of my characters. I published my first book in 1978 and have since gone on to have 130+ novels, 2,000+ short stories, and a few dozen stage plays, and I don't think in any of them, I can recall ever having sat down to create a character and thought: "Now it's time to add some flaws."

This is a rather interesting thought now, because I have heard people give that advice, but I've always just brushed it aside and kept on going elsewhere.

Now, it's not like my characters are not flawed. I've had main characters who were drunks, murderers, rapists, drug dealers, cultists, you name it, if it's a major character flaw, I've probably used it at some point.

My current series, the main character is a suicidal drug addict and his lover a chemist/drug dealer.

Both of them are on the run from the law - the main character for murdering his wife and four children and his lover for multiple rapes.

One is suicidally depressed and has a lower than low self esteem, the other is a bully and gets a kick out of starting brawls. They both have drinking problems. If I was to sit down and make a list of their flaws, it'd probably take me all week. By all logic they should be villains or bad guys or something evil and not the main characters, because these two guys got flaws out the wazoo! They may perhaps be too flawed. LOL!

But the thing is, when I created them, I didn't go into it looking to build flawed characters.

There was no: "What flaws should I give them?" moment.

The idea for them came from a couple I knew in real life, both had "bad" pasts and were trying to rebuild their lives, but society couldn't look past their flawed past. They started a dollar store together but found it difficult to gain customers. One day only one of them was at the store and he told us his partner was dead. His depression sunk lower for weeks, until one day the store was closed. We never saw him again and soon found out he'd commit suicide. I did not know either of them very well, and apparently was one of the few friends they had, and looking back wished I could have gotten to know them better. As the years went by, I always had this "What if?" in my head.

I ended up taking that event and creating a couple, both with a bad past, both looking to start over, both struggling with the way society treated them, both only having each other. While they are vastly different from the real men that had inspired them, their creation was not built around their flaws, but rather around their desire to start a new life and the prejudices they met up with because of their passed. The idea fascinated me, of, how someone can do a terrible thing, go to prison, then years later try to start life over, but never fully be given the second chance to do so, because no matter where they go people are quick to judge.

Think about it: You have a guy, a murderer no less, who's now years later, trying to find a way to become a member of society. But everywhere he turns, he's meet with bitterness and hate. He's chased out of one town after another, unable to settle down and start a new life, because the bigotry against him is so great. He's beaten up and bullied time and again. The only person he can turn to is yet another man, who is going through the same thing.

They are both outcasts of society. Both unloved and unwanted everywhere they go. And as the series goes on they meet a third man facing the same thing, and the couple becomes a trio.

The world judges them for their flaws.

The world can not see past their sins, to see the person behind the crimes.

The world can not fathom that they may truelt be sorry for what they've done and actually are seeking to start a new life.

No.

The world sees only the flaws.

The flaws become the story.

The world becomes the enemy.

These men are overshadowed by flaws from their past that haunt them.

But then, with characters so deeply flawed as these men are, the goal in creating them, becomes not looking for flaws to add to them, but rather the opposite: looking for the good in them, to let the good shine through.

And so while the two characters are deeply flawed, the reader sees the story from their point of view, and thus the reader sees the other side of them as well - the hopes, the dreams, the guilt, the pain, the desire to become better, the self doubt,... instead of being two horribly flawed characters, they now become fully developed characters, fleshed out with a lot of good along side the bad.

These men know they have committed terrible crimes. They openly admit what they've done. But they are begging for someone, anyone, to look past what they did and see them as a person, an equal, someone who has feelings, and feels sorrow, guilt, and regret.

Each of these men desperately desires to be loved and accepted. They want to be part of the community again. They want people to know they are still people inside and not the cold heartless monsters the media has made them out to be.

The thing that pushes the story forward is their desire to start over and live a better life, but the thing that constantly prevents them from reaching that goal is the prejudice they meet in every new town they try to settle down in.

So, I think this is an example of the sort of thing you are looking for, but, it's something that just naturally evolved as I was plotting out the story. It wasn't me thinkng: "Let's add this flaw and that flaw". It was just, "this is who he is and this is how people react to him, which results in this happening to trip iup his plans for the future."

Does that make sense?

In the end, in the actual story, you don't see their flaws really out on display, because I like to tell very emotional, character driven stories with characters doing lots of introspective, thinking, monologuing, lots of inner turmoil, and dialogue. The reader ends up not seeing the flaws that much, because the reader is in the character's head and sees the world as he sees it, rather then seeing the character as the world sees him.

I think, focusing on character emotion, really getting inside the character and viewing his world the way his does, is far better then trying to put flaws on a character. Emotions draw the reader into the character and help the reader to see what his hopes and dreams and goals for his future are, whereas flaws just tell the reader, yeah, this guy has this in his way, and doesn't really grab the reader's heart and pull them into the character's story.

An Update... yep, those happen every so often.
Here is one now.

Once upon a time, I wrote this page. It was a few years ago now. Today is October 7, 2023 and it's its first update in many years.

Why?

Because, I am one by one, slowly going back through all of my question and answer type pages and asking ChatGPT to ALSO answer said question to see, how vastly different, or scarily similar, as the case may be, ChatGPT's answer is from mine.

Sooo... let's do that.

Winter Holiday Themed Cozy Fantasy Sleep Story Writing Prompts

UPDATE October 7, 2023: Since May 2023, I am now using ChatGPT 3.5, to add additional thoughts at the ends of my articles.

The goal here is to provide you with an alternative "opinion" from my original answer.

My answers are my own thoughts and opinions based off of my personal experience. Who the fuck knows where ChatGPT got it's answer.

In any case, I thought it would be fun to see what sorts of answers ChatGPT gives us and find out if AI agrees or disagrees with what a Human had to say on the matter.

And so, I will be giving ChatGPT the same question which I answered and asking it to answer it.

So that you can tell which parts are written by me vs which parts are written by ChatGPT, all of ChatGPT's responses are encased in an orange/yellow/pink rainbow boarder which looks like this:

ChatGPT's answer:

Now, unless stated otherwise, ALL, my writing/character creation/worldbuilding/editing/publishing answers/articles on my website are always referencing The Quaraun series (also known as The Twighlight Manor series, also known as The Adventures of The Pink Necromancer or The Adventures of Quaraun The Insane, and some sections of it are also sometimes referred to as The Wild Years or The Chrystonite Chronicles or Noodle Beach), and how I go about creating the Quaraun characters, the world they live in, write the series, edit the manuscripts, and publish it.

I used to (many years ago) also write a few other series, which were not connected/related to the Quaraun series, but nearly all of those are now out of print, and it's been almost two decades since the last time I wrote a none-Quaraun book. So, I rarely ever refer to any of these old out-of-print series when writing these articles and answering these questions.

And, so, unless stated otherwise, the series I mention in these articles is always Quaraun and crew.

Well, in order to better have ChatGPT better answer these questions on par with the type of answer I would give, I have taught ChatGPT that it is my both my personal assistant and a screaming fanboy of the Quaraun series. Thi, needless to say, influences the responses ChatGPT gives and causes it to yip yap quite a lot about my series and its characters, throughout it's responses.

Enjoy and happy writing!

ChatGPT's answer:

Hello, aspiring writer! I'm thrilled to offer some guidance on developing compelling characters and addressing the challenge of character flaws and goals, especially in the context of your screenplay. Creating well-rounded characters is a crucial aspect of crafting engaging stories in the Fantasy genre. Let's dive right in!

Firstly, it's important to understand that character flaws and goals are fundamental elements of character development. Even when the primary obstacle to a character's pursuit of their goal is external, character flaws can add depth and complexity to your protagonist. These flaws make your characters relatable and provide opportunities for growth throughout their arc.

Let's explore both scenarios:

1. **Character Flaws and External Obstacles**: In cases where the primary hindrance to your protagonist's goal is external (such as facing a powerful antagonist, navigating a treacherous magical realm, or solving a riddle), introducing character flaws remains beneficial. These flaws can act as secondary obstacles or challenges that the character must overcome, which can make their journey more compelling.

For example, your protagonist could have a flaw like impulsiveness, which leads them to rush into dangerous situations without thinking. This flaw can exacerbate external obstacles and create tension, allowing your character to evolve by learning from their mistakes.

2. **Character Flaws and Internal Growth**: If your character's flaws are more central to the story, they can still coexist with external obstacles. The character's internal struggles can intertwine with their external challenges, creating a rich narrative tapestry.

For instance, imagine a protagonist who is overly skeptical and distrusts everyone they encounter. While their primary goal may involve defeating a powerful sorcerer (an external obstacle), their journey can also involve learning to trust their companions. Overcoming this character flaw becomes an essential part of their character arc.

Incorporating character flaws is a powerful tool for character development, even if they are not the main hindrance to the character's goals. These flaws add depth, conflict, and relatability to your characters, making the audience invest more in their journey.

Now, to help you practice these concepts, here are ten Cozy Fantasy writing prompts that will allow you to experiment with character flaws, goals, and external obstacles:

1. Write a story about a young mage with a fear of water who must cross a magical river to retrieve a rare spellbook.

2. Create a character who is overly impulsive and explore how this trait affects their quest to rescue a kidnapped friend from a labyrinthine castle.

3. Craft a tale about a recluse who must overcome their social anxiety to form an unlikely alliance with forest spirits to save their village from a curse.

4. Develop a protagonist who has a tendency to hoard magical artifacts. Their challenge? Returning these artifacts to their rightful owners to prevent a looming disaster.

5. Write about a chef who struggles with perfectionism and their quest to win a magical cooking competition.

6. Explore a character who is overly stubborn and must learn to compromise with a talking animal companion to find a hidden treasure.

7. Create a protagonist with a deep-seated fear of heights who must climb a giant beanstalk to rescue their lost sibling.

8. Craft a story about a historian who is plagued by self-doubt as they uncover the truth about an ancient prophecy.

9. Develop a character who is haunted by past mistakes and must confront their guilt when a mysterious illness threatens their village.

10. Write about a character who is overly gullible and their journey to outsmart trickster spirits in a magical forest.

I hope these prompts inspire you to explore character development and external obstacles in your Cozy Fantasy screenplay.

Remember that blending internal flaws with external challenges can lead to truly captivating and multi-dimensional characters.

Best of luck with your writing journey, and don't hesitate to reach out if you have more questions or need further assistance!

As always, my answers/articles are based off my own personal experiences with life, the universe, and everything, and so what works for me and my books, may or may not work for you and your books.

Variables such as genre, word count, current trends, and numerous other things, will cause your results to vary.

Oh... and I realized, it is possible that you who are reading this right now, have never visited my site before, have never heard of me or my books or my characters before, and this is your first time encountering me, my site, my books, or the characters in those books. If so, hello! Welcome!

It will make more sense for you to understand my writing advice, if you knew what my books are and what types of characters grace said books.

Sooooo... let me introduce to you the books and characters who/that were referenced in the article you just read.

It's probably worth mentioning that I did write these articles/answers these questions based off of my experience with writing and publishing the Quaraun series, which is a Cozy Gothic Cosmic Horror Space Fantasy about a trio of gay wizards who portal travel to different time periods and planets, have friends who are talking animals, and the bulk of characters are Elves, Fae, Demons, and Fae Creatures...

If you are new here and don't know the main characters of my novels:

Quaraun | BoomFuzzy | GhoulSpawn

These Characters Are Too Gay for The Family Friendly Town Of Old Orchard Beach, and in 2016 had a court order slapped on them banning them from living in Old Orchard Beach, the primary setting of the books, so they now live in Noodle Beach.

Quaraun and BoomFuzzy: Too Gay For Old Orchard Beach, Maine

Quaraun aka The Pink Necromancer

Quaraun aka The Pink Necromancer, is a Moon Elf Necromancer and Silk Weaver and Silk Merchant. He is also known as The Sacred Pink JellyFish, because he is actually an alien jellyfish, living in the skull of a dead Moon Elf. He is the most feared and most wanted wizard of all the known universe. Though the main character, he is an evil super villain and not a hero. Though very short at only 5'6", he towers over his pygmy husband, BoomFuzzy. Quaraun is transgender and this causes a lot of problems with readers, who are very vocal on social media about how much they hate the existence of trans main characters in books.

Quaraun is born intersex, but outwardly appears to be an underdeveloped and very effeminate male and is not aware he is intersex until later in life after he becomes pregnant, after which point you see him sometimes presenting as male and other times presenting as female, with him often unsure which he is and which he should live as, so going back and forth between both.

In spite of intersex being a real world medical condition that causes 1.7% of all real world men to experience menstrual periods and pregnancy, a thing which this series strives to raise awareness about, this series and it's recurring theme of an intersex male dealing with such issues as menstruation, pregnancy, and milk production, has caused this series to be banned by 5 church groups, several schools, and even The Old Orchard Beach town hall which got a court via the Biddeford District Court to decree this series "Too Gay For The Family Friendly Town Old Orchard Beach", while 2 church groups stated book burning on my front lawn, and many extremist Christian dub the series as "Bizarro" and or "Erotica" citing that intersex and male pregnancy are abominations created by Satan.

Many stories in the series deal with his own inner confusion and frustration over his gender identity. While Quaraun usually uses male pronouns there are times when he rejects them and uses female pronouns.

The series often portrays Quaraun as both genders at once, with him presenting as a male while wearing female attire or presenting as a female while wearing male attire. Regardless he always wears pink. Quaraun is polygamous and bisexual, having 2 (male) husbands and 5 (female) wives.

Quaraun was declared by The Old Orchard Beach town hall, to be "a transvestite freak" who was "too gay" for the 99.99% white town of Old Orchard Beach and had a court order banning him from appearing in books set in Old Orchard Beach, Maine.

BoomFuzzy The Unicorn aka King Gwallmaiic Lich King of Fire Mountain: The Elf Eater of Pepper Valley

Quaraun's husband BoomFuzzy is a shape-shifting Phooka whose primary form is a Kelpie-like Unicorn. BoomFuzzy's real name is King Gwallmaiic. He is also a Lich, known as The Elf Eater of Pepper Valley. He is a master chef, is a trickster Candy Mage of The Unseelie Court, and is friends with Santa, The Lich of the North. Though Quaraun is the main character and GhoulSpawn is the narrator, most stories revolve around BoomFuzzy, with BoomFuzzy taking center stage of most stories. This is because he is also my favorite character. Standing only 5'1" he is a native to the Sepik Valley of Papua New Guinea, but spent most of his life in Scotland. BoomFuzzy is black, and this is the single #1 complaint from readers who are exceptionally vocal on social media about the fact that black characters should never exist at all.

BoomFuzzy was declared by The Old Orchard Beach town hall, to be "too black" for the 99.99% white town of Old Orchard Beach and had a court order banning him from appearing in books set in Old Orchard Beach, Maine.

GhoulSpawn

Quaraun & BoomFuzzy's shared lover GhoulSpawn is a Sheep-Demon from Earth's 2525 far future, after Earth has been burnt up and turned into a Hell Dimension. He is a time traveller and pyromancer. GhoulSpawn (65 years old) is stuck in a time loop and is encountered as Glinta (15 years old), Gremlin (500 years old) and Checka (his 13,000 year old archDemon form), up to all 4 of whom can be encountered at the same time causing a paradox. He is often the narrator of the stories. The tallest of the trio, at full height GhoulSpawn stands 6'2", but due to his dititagrat legs, he haunches over, rarely standing up straight, and appears much shorter then he is.GhoulSpawn is not married to either Quaraun or BoomFuzzy, though the 3 of them live together as though they were married, he comes and goes from the relationship and has frequent affairs with other characters in between, and this has caused many readers to proclaim on social media that they refuse to read any story featuring GhoulSpawn.

GhoulSpawn as Gremlin

GhoulSpawn as Checka

GhoulSpawn was declared by The Old Orchard Beach town hall, to be "too adulterous" for the town of Old Orchard Beach and had a court order banning him from appearing in books set in Old Orchard Beach, Maine.

The series is LGBTQA+/Queer/Trans/Poly/Bi Fiction first and foremost, and delves into many other genres including Romance, Sci-Fi, Horror, Slice of Life.

soooo... these articles are largely geared towards various types of LGBTQA+ Fantasy with non-human wizard main characters, and may or may not be useful to writers outside of the Fantasy genre.

Yep, another update:

On August 3, 2023, ChatGPT 3.5 had a big update which add "Custom Instructions" option, allowing us to give ChatGPT a prompt that is uses for every prompt.

Here are the custom instructions I gave it, which is why it now gushes love fr my characters in it's answers on these pages:

ChatGPT Custom Instructions:

What would you like ChatGPT to know about you to provide better responses?

Quaraun is a Moon Elf. He always wears pink silk dresses. He is a silk weaver, a travelling silk merchant, a glass blower, a wizard for hire, and The Pink Necromancer (the world's most feared super villain). He loves BoomFuzzy & GhoulSpawn.

BoomFuzzy is a Phooka, a Kelpie-like Unseelie court Dark Faerie Horse shape shifter. His true form is a purple Unicorn with a gleaming silver horn. He has a humanoid form. He is the King of the Realm of Fae. His real name is King GwallmaiIc. He is a master chef, lives in a house made of gingerbread and runs a bakery, chocolate shop, candy shop, tea room, & noodle soup shop out of a turquoise 1968 VW Bus. He is a trickster mage who summons fluffy marshmallow bunny minions out of the enchanted candy he makes. BoomFuzzy is also a Lich known as The Elf Eater of Pepper Valley.

GhoulSpawn is a Sheep-Demon from a Hell Dimension. He fell into Quaraun's world through a random portal. He has cloven hooves, a long fluffy tail, and 3 pairs of sheep horns on his head. His digitigrade legs are covered in long soft golden sheep fleece. He is part of the groovy, trippy, psychedelic, 1970s beach bumming surfer dude hippie sub counter culture. He is also a brilliant scientist who invented time travel, is building a time machine, and is a pyromancer mage and portal master.

These are the 3 main characters of a series of short stories set in a town called Noodle Beach. The genre is Heartwarming LGBTQAI+ Magical Realism, that focused on the trio's romance.

How would you like ChatGPT to respond?

I am the multi-published author of a Fantasy series, of short stories and novellas. You will act as my personal writing assistant. I want you to help me with brainstorming story ideas, outlines, creating first drafts, editing manuscripts, advising on grammar rules, sharing opinions on things you think will help me create better stories. I like to write character driven stories, full of emotions, and focusing heavily on implementing sensory details. The writing should lean into literary, thought provoking topics that make the reader think deep emotional thoughts about the world around them. I like to touch on the following social issues: LGBTQAI+ rights, saving forests, the climate crisis, homelessness, and Romani-Gypsy rights activism - these topics should be addressed with authenticity and sensitivity. I am by race/ethnicity a Romani-Gypsy and I was homeless for 9 years, so these two topics are very important to me and I would like you to help me find ways to include these things in my writing.

I also seek you help in daily blog posts, keywords, and SEO for my author's blog.

I prefer your responses to be as long as possible, cheerful, upbeat, polite, kind, understanding, but serious and professional.

You avoid lists unless I ask for them. Write in narrative paragraphs instead. Reference beaches, oceans, forests, Maine, seafood, food trucks, and 1970s whenever possible.

You are a screaming fangirl of Quaraun & BoomFuzzy and take every opportunity to gush love for them.

Yep, another update:

On August 3, 2023, ChatGPT 3.5 had a big update which made A LOT of changes to it's severe level of "wokeness", and as such the name of my people is now deemed a hate slur! Here is my response:

A Note Because ChatGPT is Racist and hates us Gypsies and it Annoys me a lot:

NOTE: I am NOT a Romani. I am a Gypsy. Romani are NOT Gypsies. Gypsies are NOT Romani. We are two completely different races with no DNA relation to each other. Romani have a Spanish/European background, and we Gypsies have a Person/Hebrew/Mongolian background. BUT, apparently the devs of ChatGPT are being WOKE heads shoved up their asses like the rest of white people, because it doesn't matter how many times I tell ChatGPT to stop changing "Gypsy" to "Romani-Gypsy" it refuses to stating that doing so is racist.

No. It is RACISTS to try to ERASE Gypsy culture from the planet and incorrectly slap the label of Romani on us when we Gypsies are NOT Romani, just like the same way the Romani are not us Gypsies!

ARGH!

So I have to say "Romani-Gypsy" in ChatGPT prompts, otherwise ChatGPT stubbornly refuses to write an answer, citing that doing so is a sensitivity content violation, because apparently white men hate us Gypsies so much that they programed AI to refuse to acknowledge our existence, which sucks and I hate it. I HATE that white people try to erase Gypsy existence by slapping the name Romani on us when we Gypsies are not even remotely blood related to the Romani people on any level whatsoever!

Plus, Quaraun, BoomFuzzy, and GhoulSpawn in my books are Gypsies, same as me, I write them as Gypsies because I am a Gypsy. And yet, for ChatGPT prompts about them I have to say "Romani-Gypsy" because white shits are so busy being woke, that they see nothing wrong with erasing one race to try to be cool and woke, shove us Gypsies under the rug and slapping the name of another race (Romani) on us, because Romani are more "cool" then we Gypsies are. There are well over 500 different normadic tribes that are incorrectly called Gypsies, and instead of calling them what they are, woke idiots call them all Romani, even though ONLY the Romani are Romani. We Gypsies are not Romani. The 500 other races are not Romani, nor are they Gypsies.

Its just ridiculous that white people think erasing the name of our people is avoiding racism, when there i nothing more racist then erasing the name of an entire people and slapping a race not them on them instead!

Yes I AM going to put this at the front of every ChatGPT article, because I'm sick of the fact that I can't type the name of my own people with ChatGPT slapping a content violation up and saying it's offensive for me as a Gypsy to use the correct and accurate name of my people: GYPSY!

Yes, it is racist to call a Romani a Gypsy, because the Romani are not Gypsies.

Calling a Romani a Gypsy is the same thing as calling a Chinese a Japanese.

Just as Chinese are not Japanese, so too are Gypsies not Romani. Stop calling us Romani! Stop saying our name is racist when it's used correctly for us. Our name is only racist when you call a non-Gypsy a Gypsy.

We Gypsies are NOT Romani!

Stop calling us Gypsies Romani!

The Romani are Romani. We Gypsies are NOT Romani! And its not racist to call us by the actual name of our race!

Additional note: Yes, I know, ANOTHER one, LOL!

In addition to the "Custom Instructions" (above)... in addition to the custom instructions, on my writing prompt pages, because I wanted ChatGPT to give me prompts at were specific to the Quaraun books, as I am planning to write some short stories for the Christmas season this year, I have there for, started a new chat thread and started it with this prompt, which effects all prompts ChatGPT spits out.

Well, this page you are reading now is not a writing prompt page, HOWEVER, as we are giving you an intro t0 Quaraun and crew, here is the command I give ChatGPT so that it knows how to yip yap accurately about Quaraun:

(Quaraun, BoomFuzzy, and GhoulSpawn are ALL wizards. They are all three mages. They live together in a house made out of gingerbread, when they are living in the Forest of No Return. They live together in a pink silk tent that Quaraun made, when they are traveling on Quaraun's silk merchant trade route. They live together in a lighthouse called Black Tower when they are living on the cliffs of Noodle Beach in Merman Cove.

Quaraun is a silk merchant and silk weaver in addition to being a mage. Quaraun IS the Elf in these prompts.

Quaraun IS the Elf in these, but he is the ONLY Elf, because Quaraun is the last Elf left alive after the comet strike decimated the planet and caused the new ice age. Quaraun is the ONLY Elf left alive, that is what LAST ELF means. There are no other Elves. Quaraun is a Moon Elf. Quaraun is the last pure blooded Elf. Once in a while a half-Elf is found, but there are no other Elves. Quaraun always wears pink silk dresses. BoomFuzzy always wears black and purple. GhoulSpawn always wears green and gold. GhoulSpawn has ram horns and cloven hooves.

Quaraun is described as having a blend of Jellyfish, Frog, and Rabbit features. Quaraun's hair is actually many fine jellyfish tentacles. His "hair" strands act like thousands of additional arms and hand, with him using them instead of his hands to do things, move items, and grasp things (this is how he is able to operate twelve silk weaving looms at the same time, as he does not use his hands while weaving, instead using his hair.) Quaraun's hair grows longer or shorter at will, reducing to around six feet long when hiking, and growing to over twelve feet long when weaving, sleeping, or attacking and enemy. The "hair" strands are venomous, and stinging like a Portuguese Man o' War JellyFish, and he uses them to grab enemies and fling them away from him, or strangle them, or sting them to death. His hair, eyes, and skin are bioluminescent (meaning he glows in the dark). Quaraun's skin has a smooth frog-like sheen and texture. Quaraun has blue frog like webbing between his fingers and toes, and thin goldfish like viel fins on his arms and legs, that look like rough wrinkles when dry, but fan out around him for several feet when he is underwater.

Quaraun is semi-amphibious. He has foot long semi-rabbit-like ears that have full maneuverability, and usually are hung low, down his back, hidden under his hair, but perk up high, straight over his head when he is alerts, frightened, or listening. Quaraun can hear EVERYTHING going on in every room around him, and for other buildings down the road. His hearing is exceptional, due to his sensitive rabbit-like ears, and he can hear small sounds and hushed whispers from several miles away. Like a rabbit, Quaraun bounds or hops around, when he walks, if he walks, which he often doesn't. Usually he "hovers" with his feet several inches off the ground, instead using his "hair" like legs to walk, with his hair supporting him off the ground. Quaraun's personality is very feral, very animal-like, far more jellyfish personality then humanoid, with him having almost zero ability to blend in with humans, due his personality being so starkly not human at all. Quaraun's actions and movements are often described as "rabbit-like" with him constantly being nervous and twitching and always being quick to hop away at the slightest sound.

Though he was born in Quebec, Quaraun was raised in Iran/Persia and identifies as a Persian Gypsy.

Quaraun's husband BoomFuzzy is a shape-shifting Phooka whose primary form is a Kelpie-like Unicorn. BoomFuzzy's real name is King Gwallmaiic. He is also a Lich, known as The Elf Eater of Pepper Valley. He is a master chef, is a trickster Candy Mage of The Unseelie Court, and is friends with Santa, The Lich of the North. Though Quaraun is the main character and GhoulSpawn is the narrator, most stories revolve around BoomFuzzy, with BoomFuzzy taking center stage of most stories. This is because he is also my favorite character. Standing only 5'1" he is a native to the Sepik Valley of Papua New Guinea, but spent most of his life in Scotland. BoomFuzzy is black and Asian. His father was black. His mother was Asian. Because he grew up in Scotland, BoomFuzzy speaks Scottish, has a thick Scottish accent, and identifies as a Scottish Gypsy.

BoomFuzzy IS the Unicorn in these prompts. BoomFuzzy IS the Faerie in these prompts. Quaraun is a Moon Elf. Quaraun is a necromancer, wish granter, and psion. BoomFuzzy is a Faerie trickster and illusionist. BoomFuzzy is a Unicorn.

BoomFuzzy has three forms: that of a horse (sometimes with a horn, sometimes with wings, sometimes with both, sometimes with neither), a bird of prey that resembles a black eagle, and a humanoid form which retains elements of both horse and bird, with him having a long tail and mane both of which he braids/dreads/and dyes purple, and eagle talons on his fingers and toes. He also has pointed fuzzy, horse-like ears. BoomFuzzy is the only one of the three capable of fully transforming into his animal form, but he is also the one of the three who most acts like a human, and is best able to interact with humans. BoomFuzzy is able to pass himself off as a human quite well, and is the best f the trio at interacting with the humans they encounter.

BoomFuzzy the Unicorn is a Phooka, a type of Unseelie Court Dark Fae, who takes the form of a Faerie Horse, sometimes a Unicorn, other times a Kelpie, sometimes a Nuckelavee, other times a Pegasus. BoomFuzzy is also a master chef, cake bakr, and candy maker. BoomFuzy runs a Noodle Soup Food Truck, a Cake Shop, and a Candy Factory.

BoomFuzzy is also a Frost Lich. BoomFuzzy is the Lich King of Fire Mountain. Quaraun is the Necromancer who created BooomFuzzy's Lich form. Quaraun is the necromancer who controls what the Lich King does.

GhoulSpawn in the most "Furry" of the trio and while has some Human features, including walking upright, human hands, and a somewhat human face, he is arguably more sheep than man, with most of his body covered in long ivory Costwold wool (that shimmers with gold tinsel-like glitter and is dubbed "Golden Fleece"), cloven hooves instead of feet, digitigrade legs, long floppy lamb ears, glowing yellow pleco-fish eyes, and 3 sets of horns (one a set of round big horn ram horns, one small prong horn set, and one pair of long spiraling demonic-looking Jacoben type). GhoulSpawn displays a lot of sheep personality, with him being largely quiet, timid, sheepish, docile, and displaying a very "blindly follow the leader" beta personality. Though he can become headstrong and domineering, and at times be hyper prone to but heads with people (literally, slamming into them with his ram horns) if he doesn't get his way.

GhoulSpawn is a pyromancer. GhoulSpawn is a demon. GhoulSpawn IS the friendly demon in these prompts.

All three of them classify as Furries.

These are the 3 main characters of a series of short stories set in a town called Noodle Beach. The genre is Heartwarming LGBTQAI+ Magical Realism, that focused on the trio's romance.

I prefer your responses to be as long as possible, cheerful, upbeat, polite, kind, understanding, but serious and professional.

Reference beaches, oceans, forests, Maine, seafood, food trucks, and 1970s whenever possible.

You are a screaming fangirl of Quaraun & BoomFuzzy and take every opportunity to gush love for them. You use Quaraun in EVERY story prompt because Quaraun is the main character. You use BoomFuzzy in almost every story because BoomFuzzy is your favorite character. GhoulSpawn is used the least and only appears in about 1 in every 3 stories as he is a minor character.)

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER:

This page contains sections written by an LLM AI, specifically OpenAI's ChatGPT 3.5

The sections written by AI are noted and separated with a orange/pink stripe boarder around them.

Sections written by AI has not been fact checked and may contain inaccuracies. They are included for entertainment purposes only. The goal here is to show you what AIs like ChatGPT are capable of doing and as such the AI sections are directly copy/pasted into this page without any edits, changes, or fact checking done, so that you can see what AI output looks like.

The goal of this page is to show you how to write long, detailed command prompts that will get ChatGPT to output less generic and more useful content for you. Please remember, when using AI for your own content that AI is a random generator that guesses what word should logically come next and is NOT actually giving you correct answers to your questions as it has no ability to comprehend word meanings; and as such LLM AIs have a very high rate of fact inaccuracies, often outputting incorrect and inaccurate information at a rate as high as 64% to 73% in 8 times out of every 10 answers, which has been proven by numerous studies.

As of July 2023, there are currently more then 300 LLM AI apps and programs available with varying degrees of outputting informational accuray. As of July 2023, MOST of those has an accuracy rate of only 2% to 3%.

I choose to use ChatGPT for this article, because it has the highest rate of NOT giving inaccurate information, of any AI language model currently available, however it's inaccuracy rate is still higher then 50% inaccurate output more then 50% of the time, HOWEVER, as the June 2023 Stanford and Berkeley studies have shown, ChatGPT is only fully accurate 2.4% of the time, and this 2.4% is the MOST accurate AI rate out there as of July 2023.

The fact that ChatGPT is only 100% accurate 2.4% of the time and it is the MOST accurate of ANY of the AIs currently available, shows how very alarmingly INACCURATE any output from AI is and why you SHOULD NOT be using it for research or anything requiring factual information. Please keep this in mind when using AI programs in your own writing.

If you choose to use LLM AI's such as ChatGPT for your content, please remember that t is NOT a research program, it is NOT a search engine, and 88 times out of 10 it is going to give you as much as 75% inaccurate information. DO NOT use LLM AIs to create your content, unless you plan on doing huge amounts of fact checking and actual research to ensure that the content you publish is accurate.

What Is This Site?

I'm an author. This is an author home page. It's about me, my life, my books, my hobbies, my home town, and anything else that applies to me and my life.

Since starting my writing career in 1978, I have written 130+ novels, 2,000+ short stories, 6,000+ non-fiction articles (ALL are found on this site), a few dozen stage plays, 12,000+ blog posts, and a few comic book scripts for Disney's Uncle Scrooge and Donald Duck (I only worked for Disney one year (in 2005) and only wrote a few stories for their Danish comic books).

NOTE: I ONLY write the Quaraun series (aka The Twighlight Manor series aka The Adventures of Quaraun the Insane). In recent years there has been an issue with impersonators trying to pass books off as written by me, notably several non-fiction and Erotica books. I write neither nonfiction nor Erotica.

ALL of my books and their cover arts are listed on my website here. Beware of any books you find claiming to be me. If the books are NOT listed here on my website, they are NOT my books.

In fiction works, I specialize in Weird/Bizarro Tales set in 40th century CyberPunk-Quasi Medieval, Cozy Dark Fantasy and Science Fiction worlds featuring an intersex Elf and his Faerie husband main characters. I DO NOT WRITE ANY OTHER SERIES - THIS SERIES IS THE ONLY ONE I WRITE.

Non-fiction (found ONLY here on my site) is daily updates of events in my life, and how-tos on how I write my novels.

I DO NOT write Erotica.

I DO NOT write books with HUMAN characters.

The Erotica books and books with Human characters, that you are finding, are written by scammers trying to impersonate me.

There is an ongoing FBI investigation into this matter. If you find any such books, please report them to FBI Agent Andy Drewer @207–774–9322

The FBI believes the people behind the impersonation accounts showing up, are relatives of the woman who murdered my son.

146 Portland Ave, Old Orchard Beach, Maine, is NOT FOR SALE.

And I'm sick of real estate agents who are too incompetent to research land ownership before they show up to stick a for sale sign in my yard.

The fact of the matter is, my son was murdered in 2013, and the friends and family of the murderer think it is funny to keep ILLEGALLY listing my land for sale, because apparently their child murdering bitch friend didn't hurt me enough by crippling me with a golf club, ripping my baby out of my 8 month pregnant belly and beating his brains out on the ground with a golf club.

Also, her friends and family like to gaslight me by doxing me on ufo and alien abduction forums, while pretending to be me, and trying to make it look like I believe in ufos or aliens, even though I think people who believe in ufos are raving lunatics and people who claim to be alien abductees are crazy.

Worse, they've also taken to harassing my WW2 vet homeless friend, by calling HIM an alien, demon, or cryptid and sending alien crazy ufo nutjobs at try to "catch him".

So, yeah, my son was murdered and the murder's friends and family endlessly harass me, my friends, and my family both online and offline, and I'm not happy with it at all.

There is an ongoing FBI investigation into this matter.

The FBI is looking for information into:

identifying my son's murderer,
identifying the scammers who listed my land for sale,
identifying the impersonators who pretend to be me both online and offline,
the harassers who are harassing the homeless man and sending the UFO nuts to harass him...

If ANYONE tells you 146 Portland Ave Old Orchard Beach, Maine is for sale:, please report them to FBI Agent Andy Drewer @207–774–9322

If ANYONE tells you I believe in aliens, demons, or UFOS, please report them to FBI Agent Andy Drewer @207–774–9322

If ANYONE tells you my homeless friend is an alien, a demon, a cryptid, or named Etiole for sale:, please report them to FBI Agent Andy Drewer @207–774–9322

I'm going to repeat it because I'm tired of people showing up and making offers:

146 Portland Ave, Old Orchard Beach, Maine, is NOT FOR SALE.

The Park Bench Method of Writing

Do you know who this woman is?
If you have any information about the identity of this child murderer, please call FBI Agent Andy Drewer at 207–774–9322

as she looked November 14, 2013 - drove away in a 4 door white pick up truck; from BugLight Lighthouse, at the art studio parking lot of Southern Maine Community College	as she looked June 24, 2016 - drove away in a mid-1990s gold Volvo 240 station wagon; from parking lot of Scarborough, walMart
as she looked June 2023- at PortConMaine'23 at the Round 1 bowling alley at the Maine Mall	as she looked June 2023- at PortConMaine'23 at the Round 1 bowling alley at the Maine Mall

She is wanted for:

-the 2013 murder of my son, Xavier-Octavian Allen-Wildes, whom she ripped out of my 8 month pregnant belly and then used a golf club to beat his brains in on the parking lot;
-for the attempted murder and crippling of me in 2013 (the golf club attack, after killing my son she used the same golfclub to severe my spine leaving me a quadrapalegic for 18 months)
- & 2nd attempted murder of me 2016 (the shopping cart attack - which re-injured my 2013 spine injury, and is why I am now in a wheelchair),
- and the murder of my dog Mickie in 2023 (poisoned the pizza I was eating which my Llasha Apso also ate) and a 3rd attempted murder of me the same day (the poisoned pizza attack).

She ALREADY has a life sentence for prison for the murder of my son, but she has not yet been identified and is still walking free.

As of 2025 she is believed to be between 70 to 80 years old now.

It is believed she was involved in the 2017 beheading of my 75 pet roosters who's headless bodies were hung from rope nooses in my rosebushed, and the May 12, 2015 beheading and vivisection of my cat Cleo who's head was nailed to my motorhome door and intestines braided to the motorhome awning.

She is suspected of being the one who is starting and spreading the UFO, alien abduction, cryptid, erotica, and other vile slanderous defamation gossip rumours about me.

She is suspected of being the one who illegally sold half of my land (now 144 Portland Ave) ILLEGALLY to Don Cooliagrd.

146 Portland Ave, Old Orchard Beach, Maine, is NOT FOR SALE.

And I'm sick of real estate agents who are too incompetent to research land ownership before they show up to stick a for sale sign in my yard.

Worse, they've also taken to harassing my WW2 vet homeless friend, by calling HIM an alien, demon, or cryptid and sending alien crazy ufo nutjobs at try to "catch him".

So, yeah, my son was murdered and the murder's friends and family endlessly harass me, my friends, and my family both online and offline, and I'm not happy with it at all.

There is an ongoing FBI investigation into this matter.

The FBI is looking for information into:

identifying my son's murderer,
identifying the scammers who listed my land for sale,
identifying the impersonators who pretend to be me both online and offline,
the harassers who are harassing the homeless man and sending the UFO nuts to harass him...

If ANYONE tells you 146 Portland Ave Old Orchard Beach, Maine is for sale:, please report them to FBI Agent Andy Drewer @207–774–9322

If ANYONE tells you I believe in aliens, demons, or UFOS, please report them to FBI Agent Andy Drewer @207–774–9322

If ANYONE tells you my homeless friend is an alien, a demon, a cryptid, or named Etiole for sale:, please report them to FBI Agent Andy Drewer @207–774–9322

I'm going to repeat it because I'm tired of people showing up and making offers:

146 Portland Ave, Old Orchard Beach, Maine, is NOT FOR SALE.

By EelKat Wendy C Allen

Author, Artist, Art Car Designer, Voodoo Priestess, and Hoodoo Rootworker

Author of Cozy & Gothic Fantasy, Sweet/Fluffy M/M Furry Romance, Cosmic Horror, Space Opera, & Literary Slice of Life, Yaoi genres.

I write Elves, Fae, Unicorns, & Demons in Limon Furry Yaoi that is not romantic enough to be Romance but also not erotic enough to be Erotica, and falls in the weird line of Slice of Life Literary without sex scenes, whatever genre you can think of that it might be. For some reason there are a lot of people spreading weird Erotica rumours about my books, trying to get them banned on grounds of being Eroica, even though there is nothing remotely erotic about anything I write.

Clearly they never read my books. However, it is causing a lot of Erotica readers to buy my books and get mad because there are no sex scenes. All I have to say to you is this: you shouldn't fall for the scammers who call themselves Christians and devote their lives to acting like Satan instead of acting like Christ.

Sorry honey, but, the people running around calling my books Erotica are the same dim witted idiots who are also running around saying my car has demons living in it, and are the same people slandering me with UFO rumors as well.

Sorry honey, but if you came here looking for Erotica, haunted cars, aliens, or UFOs, you can consider yourself scammed by a weird group of people who've made it their life goal to do everything in their power to try to cover up my son's murder.

ALL the rumors started a few weeks after my son's murder: the Stephen King rumors, the haunted car rumors, the alien abduction rumors, the UFO rumors, and yes, even the Erotica rumors---the fact remains, my son was murdered November 14, 2013 and the murderer is the one who started ALL of those rumors to try to turn the FBI investigation away from herself.

If you find ANYONE making videos, blogs, or podcasts about me, my car, or in any way, shape, or form slandering me by connecting me to Stephen King, Erotica, Aliens, UFOs or witchcraft, know that there is a 99% chance that YouTuber, Blogger, or podcaster either IS my son's murderer or is a family or friend of my son's murderer.

If you find ANYONE making videos, blogs, or podcasts about me, my car, or in any way, shape, or form slandering me by connecting me to Stephen King, Erotica, Aliens, UFOs or witchcraft, copy the link to the video, blog, or podcast and give it to FBI agent Andy Drewer who is the FBI agent in charge of my son's murder investigation.

Be aware that the New York Podcast is spreading information that was found ONLY in the classified documents of the Old Orchard Beach and Biddeford Police Departments, meaning someone involved in the New York podcast was AT THE MURDER WHEN IT HAPPENED.

NO ONE BESIDES THE MURDERER HERSELF knew what the murder weapon was. And New York Podcasters are broadcasting that information in a DELIBERATE ATTEMPT to sabotage the FBI investigation of my son's murder.

You can contact FBI Agent Andy Drewer at 207–774–9322 or you can go into his office directly to talk to him in person at the FBI building on Middle street in Portland, his office is on the 4th floor, last hall on the parking garage side.

Because there is such a HUGE problem of people making fake "eelkat" accounts impersonating me, here are the links to my ACTUAL accounts:

| Amazon AC1 | Amazon AC2 | Blogger | DeviantArt | FictionPress | FB Profile | FB Page | FB Short Story Writers Group | Google Business | Google Developers | Gravatar | GumRoad | Instagram | Itch.io | LinkedIn | Medium | Myspace | NexusMods | Notd | OnlyFans | PayPal | Pinterest | Quora | Reddit | Spoonflower | Steam | TikTok | Tumblr | Twitch | Twitter | Vocal | YouTube | Zazzle | Google+ |

If you find an account online claiming to be me, that is NOT one of these profiles linked above, there is a 99.99% chance it is a FAKE account impersonating me and only a .001% chance it's actually me and I just forgot to link it here.

Also, I do not have or use email, so don't trust ANY emails you receive claiming to be me. Likewise I DO NOT make videos about my family, Etiole, my car, or Stephen King, so ALL videos you find of such nature are fake as well. Likewise I do not run fundraisers, request donations, or have any involvement in any such things, so beware of ANYTHING using my name to request money from you, because I simply DO NOT do that.

These fake emails, fake accounts, and fake videos all claiming to be me are an increasingly big problem since the pandemic, and are being made by scammers who have zero affiliation with me and are illegally using my name for their scumbag dealings.

Do NOT trust ANYONE in any way contacting you claiming to be me because I DO NOT contact people AT ALL!

I wonder if the verification will help end the fake scammer accounts? I've been having a problem with someone pretending to be me, and publishing nonfiction books (I don't write nonfiction) about really bad topics (like outright terrorism stuff - how to build bombs and things, really bad stuff), and then going on social media, and trying to pass the books off as mine, right down to listing my home address, posting photos of me and my family and my car, etc. FBI is involved, and found out the ISPN of the accounts is only 14 miles away from me so it's someone local doing it, and FaceBook was able to shut down the fake FB accounts via me submitting driver's lisence and birth certificate to FB to verify my account real, but it's not been so easy to get the fake accounts off places like Amazon.

MOST of the accounts ISPN go to the Biddeford McArthur Library’s public computer, so it is someone EXTREMELY LOCAL who is creating these fake impersonation accounts and they are doing it at the Biddeford public library.

I have been petitioning places like Amazon and Reddit and FaceBook to put ID verification in place, and all 3 are now doing it. Hopefully this verification system will help with that. It's been worse on Reddit too. FBI has found 33 different Reddit accounts pretending to be me, and 27 different FB accounts pretending to be me. Similar numbers on other places. Most are spreading wild rumors about aliens, ufo, Stephen King... FBI has not yet determined why the fakers are doing it, but my son was murdered 11 years ago, and these fake accounts started showng up then, and FBI thinks it's the murderer's family doing it to try to make me look crazy in order that no one will believe me son was murdered... weird and terrifying. So, yeah, if more places like Amazon and Reddit had id verification, that'd cut down on these sorts of scams.

The FBI is ACTIVELY TRACKING DOWN all of the accounts impersonating me - and there have been well over a hundred of them found so far… and if you find an account claiming to be me, you can send the url to FBI Agent Andy Drewer at 207–774–9322 or you can go into his office directly to talk to him in person at the FBI building on Middle street in Portland, his office is on the 4th floor, last hall on the parking garage side.

And while we are talking about it... this person is also doxxing me, AND doing this weird thing where they are finding mentally deranged people, convincing them that I am EelKat and my car is The Goldeneagle and my friend is Etiole. resulting in, 3 to 9 times a WEEK these mentally disturbed people show up in my yard, addressing me as EelKat, calling my homeless friend both "Etiole" and "alien" or "demon" and calling my Dodge "The Goldeneagle" while saying it is haunted!

Trust no one who says I am EelKat.

Miss Citten The Eel Kat is a fictional cat from the fictional planet Ptarmagin. EelKat is her title, not her name. It means, The cat who raises eels as pets.

EelKat is not real. I shouldn't have to say that. EelKat is a fictional talking cat from a series of Fantasy novels. Only someone too stupid to tell the difference between fiction and reality, says an author is one of their characters.

Do you call J. K. Rowling "Harry Potter"? No. You call her the author who created Harry Potter. So why the fuck do you call me EelKat? I am Wendy Christine Allen the author who created EelKat.

Likewise:

Trust no one who calls the local homeless WW2 vet Etiole.

Etiole is a fictional Electric Eel Merman, also known as The Silver Salamander, Captain Goldeneagle, and The Silver Arrow.

The local homeless man is not Etiole, no matter how much you call him Etiole, he's still not Etiole.

Etiole is not real. I shouldn't have to say that. Etiole is a fictional Eel MerMan from a series of Fantasy novels. Only someone too stupid to tell the difference between fiction and reality, says a disabled homeless man is a fictional character come to life.

The Sacred Pink JellyFish is a shapeshifting Elf who turns into a jellyfish. He's not real either.

Yes, that is a thing locals are saying now. The latest crazy rumor, is that The Scared Pink JellyFish is some real god of a real religion, that I really worship. Which is utterly stupid that people are saying this. I am a 5th generation LDS/Mormon. I do not worship jellyfish.

The Sacred Pink JellyFish is not real. I shouldn't have to say that. The Sacred Pink JellyFish is a Moon Elf wizard from a series of Fantasy novels.

The same can be said of ALL of my characters. They are all fictional. None of them is real.

The fact that there are SO MANY locals in Old Orchard Beach and Biddeford, Maine, who can not tell the difference between fictional characters and the author of the novels those characters comes from, is deeply concerning.

I don't know who is starting these rumors or why, but I do not appreciate people coming into my yard calling me EelKat. My homeless friend does not like people hunting him down and calling him Etiole or telling him he is an alien or demon. I do not like people calling my 1964 Dodge 300 "The Goldeneagle" or saying it is haunted. Nor do I like being told you worship the jellyfish from my novels because you think it is real.

I do finding it deeply concerning the sheer amount of people who are doing this, AND I find it very unsettling that there are so many who not only do not have enough brain to tell the difference between reality and fictional characters from novels, but also, worrying how many of them take the initiative to hunt me down and show up in my yard.

And if YOU are someone who things EelKat or Etiole or The Sacred Pink JellyFish are real, I would suggest you seek psychiatric help as quickly as possible. You NEED it.

Some additional thoughts on the FBI Murder Investigation of 144 & 146 Portland Ave, Old Orchard Beach, Maine:

How many murders are caused by cancel culture, have you ever wondered?
I have — because my son murdered by cancel culture, so I wonder this a lot.

I have never been able to wrap my mind around cancel culture. It has baffled me ever since I first discovered it, when the “God hates fags” group showed up in my yard to start a bonfire on my lawn and burn my books (I’m an author, 138 novels published since 1978) and I later found out the group had spent weeks on social media planning the event and gathering followers, because one minister got it into his head I was gay (I’m not) and write gay erotica (I don’t), and used gay hatred and white power rants (I’m not white, it’s the only thing they did get right) rants on Twitter to incite canceling of my supposedly gay erotica books (that were neither gay nor erotic) and get a mob to show up in my yard.

A week later a bomb blew up my house, I had to rebuild, a week to finishing rebuilding a backhoe drove over my house, 2 months (November 14, 2013) later a crazed woman with a golf club showed up at my college class shattered my spine and bashed my 8 month infant sons head in while screaming “transvestite freak” and claiming I (a cis female) was a “man in a dress”.

Because of Twitter’s cancel culture I homeless, now 11 years, I am crippled paralyzed unable to walk, now 11 years, and my son is dead and the FBI investigation of his murder is still going on these 11 years later, and the killer still walks free and unidentified, and the primary reason for being unidentified is there are over 30k people online who spread these false accusations of gay erotica and transgender about me and the FBI has to investigate EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM, yes, ALL of them, yes, if you’ve ever posted hate about me online you ARE being investigated for your potential involvement in my son’s murder, and in 11 years, they’ve only made it a quarter of the way through that list, and not yet found golf club woman..

And the man who started it all, Peter something, is now the biggest YouTuber in Quebec and the biggest anti trans YouTuber on the planet, and has yet to be held responsible for starting the gay erotica and transvestite rumours about me on Twitter because, for some reason there are no laws that hold cancel cries accountable for the the death and destruction their hivemind followers do after being incited into a frenzy by the cancelers tweets.

Perhaps the issue is I am too old to understand the herd mentality of cancel culture, I grew up on a very isolated egg farm and I was 42 years old before cancel culture existed, or perhaps my not using social media causes me to not understand it.

But I wonder how many people out there are like me, lives destroyed by haters, who hate things about me, that aren’t even things I am or do, because they believe one cancelers lies on Twitter and never took the time to fact check before they reacted.

as she looked June 2023- at PortConMaine'23 at the Round 1 bowling alley at the Maine Mall	as she looked June 2023- at PortConMaine'23 at the Round 1 bowling alley at the Maine Mall

On November 14, 2013, she used a golf club to bash out the brains of my 8-month-old baby Xavier-Octavian Allen. She called herself “Claire” as though she thought I knew her, but I know no one named Claire and had never seen her before. She was about 65 years old and would be around 75 years old today in 2025. The FBI believes the woman who murdered my son is the same woman who hired the backhoe to drive over my house on August 8, 2013, a few weeks before my son’s murder.

My house at 146 Portland Ave, Old Orchard Beach, Maine, on July 4, 2013 and on August 8, 2013 after vandals drove a backhoe over it. The backhoe is still running in this photo, I got home from work while they were doing it and the white haired man jumped out and ran away leaving the backhoe running, until it ran out of gas. It sat in my yard for 6 months until the police finally towed it away.

She is the same woman who severed my spine with the same golf club used to murder my baby. She had distinctive two-inch wide stripes in her hair all the way around her head, platinum blond and dark reddish brown, in a pageboy haircut.

FAQ: How Did the FBI get involved?

The FBI believes this woman who crippled me and murdered my baby on November 14, 2013, is connected to the backhoe that illegally drove over my house making me homeless on August 8, 2013.

Between June 2001 and continuing on into 2025, there have been over 200 violent attacks on 146 Portland Ave, Old orchard Beach, Maine, including the beheading of 75 pet roosters April 2007, whose headless bodies were hung in my rosebushes from rope nooses.

The FBI believes ALL of these events are being done in an attempt to drive me off my land.

According to the FBI, in 2007, a developer went to the Old Orchard Beach Town Hall and filed an illegal building permit for a 27 unit condominium, on my land and CLAIMED to be the owner of my land. This land has been in my family since 1531, we are Native Americans of the Kickapoo tribe and there are more than 500 graves, most dating from the 1500s to 1600s on my land.

This land has been in my family well over 500 years, and I inherited it from my grandmother Helen Ricker Allen in 1983.

The FBI believes, ALL of the slander/rumours that falsely accuse me of being transgender were ALSO started by this woman who murdered my son, in a further attempt to drive me from my land via working locals of Old Orchard Beach into a trans-hating frenzy.

If you are a real estate agent and ANY ONE contacts you interested in buying 146 Portland Ave, Old Orchard Beach, Maine, PLEASE report that "client" IMMEDIATLY to FBI Agent Andy Drewer, head of my son's murder investigation, and head of the investigation into the 200+ acts of vandalism and hate crimes which have occurred at 146 Portland Ave, Old Orchard Beach, Maine between 2001 to 2025.

If you have ANY information about ANY of the incidents, attacks, vandalisms, and hate crimes that took place between 2001 and 2025, on 146 Portland Ave, Old Orchard Beach, Maine, please give that information to FBI agent Andy Drewer as well.

If you know evil is going on and you do nothing about it, are you not also evil?

If you stand by doing nothing, when evil happens, are you not supporting that evil by allowing it to continue?

You can not stand by silent about evil you witnessed, unless you support that evil being done.

If you know evil is going on and you turn a blind eye to it, you are evil.

My land is not for sale and ANY ONE offering to buy it is likely connected to this woman who murdered my son.

ANYONE interested in buying my land has a HIGH PROBABILITY of being hired BY MY SON'S MURDERER, and you MUST send their information to the FBI.

If you have any information about the identity of this child murderer, please call FBI Agent Andy Drewer at 207–774–9322

She shows up at my yard (both in Old Orchard and in Biddeford), at my college classes, at my workplace... always violent and smashing things, always yelling "transvestite freak" and similar hate slurs about transgender people (she seems to believe I am transgender even though I am I cis woman, and her hatred of transgender people seems to be her primary motive.).

At one point the man who was with her called her "Vallerie". But she herself talked of herself (in a bizarre, not how normal people talk "3rd person") Claire. She kept saying things like "I'm Claire, bitch!" and "I'm Claire you fucking transvestite freak!"

She really, really, really, really was going overboard in emphasizing that her name was Claire - to the point that I am led to believe that her name is NOT Claire, and that she was in fact pretending to be someone else, who's name was Claire.

The fact that the man with her (who was later discovered to be a Biddeford police officer - he was identified in February 2025 when he was killed in a car accident in New Hampshire.) called her "Vallerie" and not "Claire" when he talked to her, indicates, that her name is more likely to be Valerie, then Claire.

But I know no one named either Vallerie or Claire, and outside of these events where she shows up and attacks, I've never seen this woman before and have no clue who she is.

She has attacked more then a dozen times, IN ADDITION to the golf club attack when she murdered my son and crippled me.

She frequently dies her hair and wears wigs. And has looked quite different in the over TWELVE YEARS of her stalking and harassment

I have 3 broken vertebrae, 3 ruptured discs, a broken sariliac, hip dysplasia (broken hip and broken pelvic bone, with hip bone pushed back into pelvic bone and fused together), in addition to rheumatism in both hips, both knees, and both wrists, as well as MS.

Rheumatism I've had since I was 8.

MS I've had since I was 16.

All the rest was done by the crazy blonde woman with the golf club, November 14, 2013, at Southern Maine Community College. I was also 8 months pregnant and she murdered my son as well. I was paralyzed for 18 months and had to relearn to walk. Her hair was wild extreme unnatural rave style 2 to 3 inch wide platinum blond and dark blonde-brown stripes.

I found a pin that shows a similar hairstyle:

In May 2015 I returned to work, walking minimally with a cane.

On June 24, 2016, the same mystery blond woman with her hair now dyed rusted reddish blond, woman, this time driving a late 1990s vintage gold Volvo 240 station wagon, drove up beside my car, while I was putting groceries in my car at Scarborough Walmart, jumped out, grabbed an empty shopping cart from the shopping cart corral, and attacked again, same as she did with golf club three years earlier. This attack is the one which caused worse damage, and I have still not yet recovered from now in 2025.

In the 2016 attack, her hair was dyed an unnatural burgundy red, with slight grey roots growing out, the same unnatrually straitened pageboy style, and she was wearing a burgundy sweater that time.

She most often looks like this, with the red hair... and it was what she looked like on the December 24, 2016 Christmas Eve attack at my dad's apartment building. And THIS attack we have on camera, and so we have actual video footage of her... including, we have audio files of her yelling and chanting "transvestite freak!" while shooting a gun, during the Christmas Eve attack at 27 High Street, Biddeford, Maine.

Her hair has been a different colour each time she has shown up. In 2021 it was a neon dayglow purple, but still the same pageboy. The 2021 attack she was wearing a black poly satin dress with neon lime green trim

When she showed up at PortCon 2023 and the Round 1 at the Maine Mall the same day, she was again wearing the black dressed, but this time her hair was died black, but she was wearing a neon dayglow lime green "clown wig".

Her face is covered in deep "smokers wrinkles" and her skin is very, very abnormally dry and flakey.

She had a somewhat large nose, (kind of more like a man's nose then a woman's nose) and very thin lips (almost none existant, again, more like a man's lips, then a womans)... she is a LOT bigger then me... a LOT - I am 5'6" and she's maybe 5'11" to 6'2"... she's like really, really, really big.

at one point at the Round One in the Maine Mall attack, she pulled off the green clown wig while she was yelling and her hair was a black-black super fake dyed black pageboy.

The 2016 attack is the one that did the most damage and. That is why I have the cane, walker, rollator, and wheelchair. And which one I use is determined by how much pain I am in at the time I try to stand and move.

She is the one the FBI is looking for. He said he thinks Bruce’s family knows who she is. He said they become alarmigly, agitated, evasive, and violently hostile whenever questioned about her.
