Writers: What would be your protagonists last words?

"Do it, coward, it's only a life you're about to take."

I don't picture her dying as an old lady from some wasting sickness, offering some profound wisdom to pass on. She can be cocky and proud and aggressive and rambunctious at times, like she discovers the line by crossing it first, always testing the boundaries of her freedoms to see when the slack will snap tight on her, see just how far she is able to go. Aggressiveness is probably her fatal flaw, I can absolutely see her pushing someone too far one day, like some holding her at gun point, all panicky and unsure; she'd try for control and they'd call her bluff.

BQ1: I'd be classy about it, I wouldn't bad mouth her or fret about it, I'd look at it as opening my work to a larger audience--the Mark Twain approach. I wouldn't feel compelled to say I was a fan of her work though, I just don't like to be phony... which, okay, boy sounds awful of me.

BQ2: There are plenty I would love to be, but one I am actually like? Hmm. I'll say the mysterious, unnamed "I" of "Taffy was a Welshman", it takes a lot to piss me off, but when I am, I am full on rabid.

BQ3: Easy. LimikkinSixx, everything I've seen of hers is impressive, especially her characters. She is made of awesome, and I really have a lot of faith in her work.

Well, my protagonist will be dying at the very end -- it's what sparked the novel to begin with, funnily enough. I still have yet to decide her last words. Dialogue-wise, they will be spoken to the antagonist. But I'll most likely give her a brief internal monologue where it's made known how at peace she is with dying.

BQ1: Stephenie Meyer says she's a big fan of your work, what do you say to that?

❧ I'd be very grateful and flattered.

BQ2: If you were a character in a book, who would you be? Say, Leonardo Da Vinci's overlooked brother? Or a figure locked in a painting? Or someone else?

❧ Maybe some random student at Hogwarts ^_^

BQ3: If you had to co-write with another user on Y!A, who would it be?

❧ Hmm, I'm not too familiar with everyone's writing styles on here, so I couldn't really say.

Probably 'au revoir' for Tashe (I have 2 MCs/protagonist, it is from 4 points of view though) as she is French, and also dramatic. Robbie and Sam would say 'Bye' or 'Laters' 'cos they are just like that. Aurelia would probably list all the swear words she knows.

BQ1: Stephenie Meyer says she's a big fan of your work, what do you say to that?

I would probably commit suicide. Or destroy all my books, and swear to (and to keep to) that I will never, ever pick up a pencil or pen again, let alone write.

BQ2: If you were a character in a book, who would you be? Say, Leonardo Da Vinci's overlooked brother? Or a figure locked in a painting? Or someone else?

I want to be the character that had everything good happen to her, but was still wonderful: it would be a lovely life. BUT I would love to be maybe able to transform myself into an animal, or to be the overlooked sister to a genius or something.

BQ3: If you had to co-write with another user on Y!A, who would it be?

Hard one. The ones which are good enough will not give examples of their work on here, and therefore I do not know their style. Good writers generally answer questions, and don't ask for critique for their work, so I dont know.

Well, my protagonist lives in a peaceful area, and is in no way involved with any war/revolt/bombing type of thing. So, he'd die a natural death at a very old age, and, that being said, probably in his bed. Just going to sleep and never waking up again, you know? So, his last words would be Amen, since he says a prayer every night before he goes to sleep.

BQ1: I'd just say thank you. I can't really say anything else, it would be too rude. Besides, in all honesty, I wouldn't really be that offended. I mean, she's published, what, 5 books, and I'm struggling with one XD

BQ2: I'd be the boring one, lol. I'd be the protagonist's, or the secondary character's younger sister, the one that wants to help but is too clumsy or inexperienced to do something. And I'd be the one who has a huge crush on one of the main characters, but he won't give me the time of the day.

BQ3: Oh, I don't know anyone well enough for that. Besides, I'd be a bad co-worker - my writing schedule depends on my mood, and I can't keep deadlines.

QA1: Stephenie Meyer, i enjoy your books and find that they have a certain control over me i wish nothing ever could have. Personally I, unfortunately am aggressively honest and despite the fact that i loved your books, they really are only skin deep and in all honesty, you sort of killed Vampires and the way they were once portrayed is dead and replaced by whiny teenage angst.

QA2: I would be in Flowers in the Attic, only being a very individual individual V.C. Andrews would have to make a whole new character just for me and I would show Cathy and Chris and Corey and Carrie what real love is and not the love they interpreted in their own false ways that ruined their lives later, I wish i could love all the children who don't know what love it, the right kind of love.

QA3: I do not spend enough time on Y!A to answer this but the user would definitely be from the Books and Authors section seeing as i find such people refreshing and very open minded like me:)

As for the first Question my protagonists last words would be somewhere along the line of "You still don't get it" or "you still don't know, do you?" only more dramatic and Original cause there's nothing i love more than a villain who messes with your brain! -Kenzie

My protagonists last words would probably be something like, "Dead, but not gone." Paired with some kind of condescending chuckle.

BQ1: I would thank her and tell her that I really liked "The Host".

BQ2: I would probably be the girl hiding in the back of all the mystery/thriller novels, but always ends up doing all the stuff. If that makes sense?

BQ3: I don't know any other users on Y!A, but I definitely wouldn't mind getting to know some/co-writing with them!

Don't let her forget me.

BQ1: I'd be grateful - I mean having some fans are better than none right? Even if it's someone whose own writing you don't love.

BQ2: The verbally abused sidekick probably or possibly the other girl with a fiery temperament.

BQ3: Gosh, that's an impossible choice - mainly because I haven't been on here for the best part of 2 months! :D

Probably something completely uninteresting. "Last words" are rarely people's actual last words.

Of the characters I've actually killed, last words have included "didn't he tell you to go home?", "don't" and more often than not, there are no last words, just a quick death.

BQ1: honestly? Flattered. because 1/ Just because you can't write a great book doesn't mean you can't appreciate one. 2/ She still has the influence to make people want to check out my work just by saying she likes it. 3/ She's still a published author who has written four full lengths novels and a novella. It's more than I can say for myself.

BQ2: I wouldn't be in any book. I'm uninteresting.

BQ3: Junebug. We get each other and we have a similar process. I'd be flattered if Meg wanted to co-write with me too, but I fear it would end up in a clash because we work too differently. She'd expect me to deliver on time for example... lol

Assuming they had an opportunity to speak before they died:

1) Heroine: "Death is only the beginning...of damage control" *In reference to Judgment day*

2) Hero: "Look not at my death but at my life. You are my legacy." *To his son*

3) Comic Relief: "Didn't get me Willie, did it?" *looks down to see nothing below the hips* "Bullocks" *dies*

BQ1: Stephenie Meyer says she's a big fan of your work, what do you say to that?

*** "Thank you."

BQ2: If you were a character in a book, who would you be?

*** A master of disguise, a thief, and a concubine.

BQ3: If you had to co-write with another user on Y!A, who would it be?

*** Either: AC, Junebug, Seal, or Kitty KML...due to our mutual interest in high fantasy and similar tastes.

Tabby would likely use her last words to call for help, if she was being killed by a villain, that is. Therefore, her last word would probably be, "Zane!", "Lissa!", "Mom!", or "Dad!", which are all of the people who are likely to be within earshot in a time of need.

BQ1: I'd be grateful that another writer likes my work, though I'd be rather disappointed that it wasn't a writer with whom I particularly identify.

BQ2: Considering I'm practically invisible in real life, I don't see me being a character in a book. Perhaps I'd be a nameless "extra" who gets mentioned in passing or something.

BQ3: Definitely Steven J Pemberton, if he'd agree to it. I'd probably just drag him down, though. I think I'd be a terrible co-writer.
