Lonely She Wolf

So, I am writing a novel where two characters, a brother and sister, are Japanese. As you probably guessed, I'm not Japanese. I had no problem giving them a first name, as I am fluent in Chinese and therefore I understand Japanese kanji. But I have trouble finding a suitable family name. For several reasons, I do not wish to use a real common Japanese surname:

1)It would sound rather uncreative, because Japan has a very vast surname diversity.

2)My story is set in the 19th century when most Japanese surnames had just started, so surnames that are common now weren't so common then.

3)It would be rather awkward to meet someone with the same name as my character -_-

4)The brother and sister are the descendants of a fictional reformed royal family, and the common surnames now don't actually embody that kind of background.

So what I am looking for is a fictional, made-up surname, preferably with a kanji/Chinese writing so I can understand it (lol) and preferably with a naturalistic meaning. Please help by giving me some ideas! Thank you so so much for your time. ^_^

-The Lonely She Wolf

You pick up a novel you've never seen before by an author you've never heard of before. You start reading it, and you enjoy it a lot, then a while later you suddenly shake with fury and/or want to vomit in the author's face. You drop the book somewhere and never look at it again.

The End.

The question is, why did you stop reading? What makes you stop reading a book that you started off enjoying?

As many answers as possible appreciated, I'm asking this because I am writing a fantasy novel and want to know what NOT to do.

Thanks for your time! :)

Okay, before you start calling me crazy, let me just summarize this briefly.

I have an idea for a fantasy novel and I think it is quite good and worth writing. My story has very few common fantasy cliches. It contains no elves or dwarves, no magical object or magical old wizard or some kind of magical artifact and just ditch the magical stuff and of course the antagonist is not pure, pure evil.

But I want to take it a step further and experiment with points of view. Yes, I know the most common are third person, third person ominiscent and first person. But the one I want to try is a really weird one: first person omniscent. That means the story is told from the point of view of one character, using first person pronouns (I, me) but all of the thoughts and feelings of the other characters are also expressed.

Then, above that, I want to narrate the story from the point of view of the villain. It helps that the villain has the ability to briefly leave her own body and possess the mind of another.

Yes I have heard for a million times that even if the main character is a bad person, they are still the protagonist. But by antagonist I mean antagonist, the villain. Although the story is written from her point of view, she is not the main character and does not appear the most frequently. The protagonist is a different person.

I have had people tell me that it's absolutely ridiculous and will never work, but I am aiming for originality and I need more opinions from frequent fantasy readers. Do you think a story could work with the antagonist as the narrator? Why or why not?

Thank you for your time. I highly appreciate it.

~Lonely She Wolf, wannabe fantasy novelist.

P.S. if it helps, the antagonist dies at the end of the story, as does the protagonist/ main character.

Yes, yes, yes, yes it is embarrassing. Please please please oh please do not say anything mean. I get constipated a lot, but it is very bad right now. I haven't had any BMs for over a week, and I do regret eating that much pizza. I'm really frustrated and my stomach & lower back really hurts and it feels heavy. I need some advice on how to make it go away because it's once again driving me crazy. I have tried:

-Cereal

-Prunes

-Lots of water

-Sitting on the toilet and straining for ages

None of those worked very well. I need some help because nobody will take me seriously, and I'm in a lot of discomfort. I probably can't obtain laxatives and definitely can't obtain enemas because my parents will not buy those things. They think it's not serious at all. I don't want to think that it's serious but it's really uncomfortable!

Any useful suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you very much, dear internet friends. Thank for your time.

My father smokes. He has smoked for about forty years. That is a long time. He doesn't smoke very heavily, but any amount of cigarettes is bad - everyone knows that. My father goes through maybe two packets a week if he's feeling fine, and a bit more if he's feeling depressed. Nevertheless, he comes home smelling like he's been up a chimney. He coughs a lot, too.

I really want to get him to quit smoking, but he won't. I know all the stuff about how it's his own choice whether or not he wishes to quit, but it would still be wonderful if he could quit.

I have tried to show him pictures of lung cancer and all that, but he just shrugs it off and says that everyone has got to die someday.

Then I tried to tell him that his family needs him and he shrugs it off too, and grabs the TV remote.

I've tried telling my mother...it's not going to work. My mother is acting like a hypocrite. She tells him off for smoking and then she still buys him cigarettes and encourages him to participate in smoking sessions with his group of friends.

He has no desire to quit. He's also a very arrogant person...and he'd probably slap me if I bugged him too much. He's done that before.

Is there anything else I could do to help him quit? Any good advice will be appreciated.

Thank you for your time :)

I got my ears pierced three months ago, and until last night my ears were fine. I had two bottles of that anti-infection lotion but I've used it up already. Last night I went out to dinner at this really crowded restaurant with lots of people drinking and smoking (that may have contributed to it), and I accidentally jabbed my right ear. Then the earlobe started to go really red and swollen, and it felt like my ear was on fire. You know, it feels really hot. And since last night the swelling hasn't gone down. My right ear lobe is very very obviously bigger than my left ear lobe. It's still the same shape but it's just swelled and gotten bigger! It's also very sore and stiff and red. What do I do? I'm afraid that this might lead to something more serious so my question is: is my ear infected? And if it is what do I do? I don't really want to take the stud out because I'm afraid that the hole might close up.

No rude answers please :) Thank you for your time.

Okay, so in English my class studied Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare. (You may have read that) Now we've got an assignment - to write a short story about what happened before Viola and Sebastian and the other guys got shipwrecked and landed on the shore. What happened during the sinking. I want to get A+ for this (I enjoy being top of the class, and most teachers have quite a good opinion about me) so I need some interesting ideas. I don't just want to write like you know the weather was bad and the ship sank or like someone was smoking on board and the ship caught fire or the captain was blunt and the ship crashed into a reef because those scenarios are just too commonly used. I need some ideas on how a 16th century ship could sink. Nothing crazily insane, totally impossible or ridiculously unlikely, please. Also it would be nice to receive a few tips from kind internet friends as to how to write short story like that. Detailed and useful answers please, no free-points-seeking trolls. Thank you for your time :)

So, in my English class we are doing short stories soon, and the homework for today is to write the worst possible story ever, the worst worst worst you can manage, so we can discuss in class tomorrow what NOT to do. Please, give me some ideas on how to write a really totally TERRIBLE story, like the most terrible you can ever imagine, coz lol I want to get an A+ for THIS homework even though it doesn't really count towards final grades. Detailed answers, please. And grammar/spelling errors don't count.

Thank you :)

Okay, okay, so I have asked questions before about this, and yes, this is so so so so so so so so soooooooooooo embarrassing, please please don't say anything insensitive or mean. So, I feel terrible...I haven't gone to the bathroom for 4 days now and need urgent help! I don't feel the urge and when I sit on the toilet I can't go. I got a headache and stomachache! I'm all bloated and I look like I'm pregnant! It's ugly and embarrassing but most of all uncomfortable and stressful. The worst bit is...um...gas. Sooooooo embarrassing for a girl! I need it to go away! Please, I need some natural remedies or something. I cannot obtain laxatives. I don't even know the reason why I am constipated. It's never been like this. I eat at least two or three servings of fruit daily, eat various vegetables, never eat fast food or chips. Not overweight, I'm a teenage girl, not on any medications, not bedbound (Never been bedbound), and NOT pregnant. I'm a virgin, okay? So are there any other reasons why I'd be like so constipated? Thank you very very much, all useful answers will be appreciated.

So, I seem to have caught the cold from a friend who coughed and sneezed near me...can't blame her, it's not her fault. But my throat is like really, really, really sore, and it is unbearable. I can't talk, it hurts to swallow and it hurts more when I sleep. I used a mirror and I can see that my throat is very red and one side looks like there's a pink patch on it. It hurts really really bad and I think I have a weak immune system...I get sick very often. Is there anything that would make my throat get better because it's horrible? Thanks for your time, I appreciate it very much. All reasonable answers will be appreciated. And I've tried gargling salt water.

It keeps coming back! I don't know what is wrong with me! I posted something similar to this two days ago and now I'm constipated again! Seriously this is so so so embarrassing, please don't say anything mean or just don't answer. I wanna ask, what could be causing this? I am a teenage girl, not overweight, have a normal diet, no allergies, not on any medication, excersize 30 mins per day. It's driving me absolutely nuts! I'm so bloated now and my belly really hurts! My parents won't take me seriously, after I tell my mother about it and she's like it's not that bad just sit on the toilet and then she gets fed up and gets angry at me. I'm asking you kind internet stranger for some advice on some natural remedies that actually work. Prunes taste horrible and hardly work, and neither do bananas work as well as people claim. Thank you, thank you for reading this and answering. I truly appreciate your time.

P.S It's not like I go into the toilet and can't take a dump, it's like I never feel like taking a dump! But I know I need to coz I eat a lot and I feel all bloated.

Okay, this is the most most most embarrassing question I have ever ever had to ask. Please, I have felt embarrassed enough, so please please if you're going to say something mean then just don't answer. It's not funny when you have constipation for those people who think it is. I mean it's horrible! I have only had 1 BM in the past week and I need some suggestions for natural remedies, coz it's driving me crazy. I'm really frustrated right now and I feel all full and bloated and so I didn't even eat lunch today. My parents won't take me seriously, they make me feel embarrassed. My mother keeps saying it is because I eat ice cream. But I've only eaten three ice creams in the past two weeks because the weather is so hot. I know lots of people who eat more ice cream than me and they are not constipated and ice cream is not meant to make you constipated! Seriously, I just don't know why I am so constipated! I am young, I excersize a minim of 30mins every day, I eat meat and veggies, I'm not allergic to anything, and I am not taking any medication except for throat spray for a sore throat. (which isn't really ingested) I really need to be able to go like everyone else my age! It's driving me nuts because it's not like I go to the toilet and can't poop, it's like I just never feel like pooping but I know I need to coz I eat a lot and I feel bloated and horrible. Please help! Need natural remedies. I can't obtain stuff like laxatives coz my parents will never buy them for me, and less likely will they buy stuff like enemas. And I've tried prunes they taste horrible and hardly work. Please, all useful answers are appreciated. Thank you, I just really need some relief, I feel headachey and stomachachey.

Like, I'm supposed to be healthy. But I get sick really easily. I'm young and I don't have any sort of genetic disorder... but I just get sick so easily? I don't think there was ever a winter when I didn't get sick. If I get really hot and tired I get sick. If I eat a bag of chips I'll get a throat inflammation, like it's ridiculous. I once went to the beach and my friend splashed me with water as a joke and guess what, the next day I was sick. Once I ate a lot of noodles and got sick all over my bed.... right now my throat is horrible!

Once I went to a relatives house for a month during winter and got high fever twice. Two years ago I went to the same relatives house and got sick even though the weather was fine.

Like whenever I get a cut near my mouth it gets infected...because of this I brush and rinse and brush and rinse my mouth so so much and it STILL gets infected.

I've hardly ever been very very sick, I'm just sick a lot and get sick easily. I've only been to the doctors I think two or three times, and been to the hospital once when I got such a high fever my parents got really worried. (Then I only got better after like five ice creams...)

I think I'm sick more often than not. (This is embarrassing, but I'm constipated ALL the time).

I also get exhausted after like ten seconds of running.

Like why am I like this? Could there be anything that I am doing wrong in my lifestyle that could be affecting me? It's weird that I don't look fragile or sickly, and I hardly look sick when I am sick. I am tall and a little chubby, and I have thick hair. People say I look great. But seriously getting sick so much I am getting really annoyed. Is there anything that I could be doing that makes me sick? Is there anything I could do to stop me from being so sickly? I really can't imagine how bad it will get when I get old if I'm already so sickly at a young age. I think I might die before I see my 70th birthday...sob sob sob.

P.S I eat healthy, (meat and veggies) I do not smoke or drink alcohol, eat fast food like once a year, do not chew gum, I don't drink fizzy drinks. I eat ice cream and chocolate in moderation. I am not a couch potato I excersize at least 30minutes a day. I live in a generally clean environment, house is cleaned once a week.

Please, don't be like why the hell are you asking this crap, seriously it's not a joke. Please just tell me what you think, is it bad or is it okay and honoring?

So I took an IQ test 2 minutes ago and it said I got 141 IQ is that high or low? What is the average? I am 14 years old and is 141 okay for a 14-year-old? Yeah just wondering, please answer, thanks a lot for your time :)

Seriously, I don't want any Asian answers. Non-Asian people only. If you took a trip to Asia, lets say to tour around with your schoolmates and friends. Would you eat the food there? Or would you refuse to and ask them to cook other types of food and give you a knife and fork? I'm talking meats like dog, frog, guinea pig, monkey, squid, raw lobster, hare, cat, rat, goat, cicada, grasshoppers, roasted maggots. And other foods like tofu, durian, bamboo, white cabbage, green coconuts. What would you think of them? Would you eat them? Why or why not? Good reasons. Please don't just say they are good/bad, coz that ain't a reason lol why are they good/bad? Thanks for your time. I am an Asian who wishes to have your opinion.

So I am a teenager and I have crooked teeth. First I thought I might not need braces and my teeth would move themselves and get better, but gradually it's not getting better, it's actually getting worse coz my teeth are starting to overlap each other. My mother wants me to get braces, and I think it's a good idea. But does it hurt? What does it feel like? How long does it take? Do they have to make gaps in your teeth first? Do they move teeth in place and then put on the braces? Do they use the numbing cream thing? How long do you have to wear braces for? I dunno if I should get braces, are there any negatives of getting braces? Useful answers please, wise, wise, wise internet masters. Thank you for your time, I appreciate it :)
