Circus Lore
7 years ago
Ok so I just did a bit of an art dump and trust me there is alot more where that comes from. I don't upload everything at once and if you want to see the rest of the art, I always upload the stuff I get to my toyhouse first. Check it out here : https://toyhou.se/Spectrepaw/characters
Ok with all do seriousness lets chat. So alot of people tell me I really need to write the circus's story because damn it I always love going into detail about my ocs and where they come from and their backstories. I think it is about time I get on that, but I tend to struggle with introducing characters into a story, especially the first character. In addition I wanted to ask if I should start on the first chapter of the story or should I start by doing a short story on each character before they joined the circus and giving a bit of background where they come from. If I do write on each character should I start in order of when they happened or should I write on who people wanna hear about. I'd love to hear your opinions <3

As for order, I think chronological would work well. If you decide to write a unified story later on, then having the short stories in order like this could help to make everything flow better. You could essentially build a timeline to map out when each character's story converges, and that could then help to guide your writing process.
Happy Easter, April Fools and Totodile's Day to you by the way! X3
