Makes a lot of sense I like the idea&#8230; I&#8217;ve been feeling pretty bad about not getting on here. I love the community guilds provide and love the theme discussions but I think the suggested ideas might help get more actual participation well taking the pressure off of guild members in a way.</p>

<p>if you scroll the post from tonight you will see we have expanded a little bit more but hopefully that&#8217;s enough for you to start writing. Is there anything we can do to help you out??? or tell you more about the story in some way. We kinda decided on a draft deadline two days before the contest if that works for you.</p>

<p>what did you think about the suggestion I put out?? Where the protagonist reaches out the villain at school after his parents die and he is beginning to grow resentment towards the whole town. He sees the young innocent boy reaching out to him and takes him under his wing to protect him from the town.</p>

<p>yah especially for boys in the era I&#8217;m thinking it definitely would have been a small town school. So what if the protag was younger but reached out to him and the villain would decide to reach and protect him from the city&#8217;s evils?? Their relationship grows over the years and they are both young men when the story takes place.</p>

<p>but the question is why does he like him and not the rest of the town. Did say protagonist reach out to him at school, does he have a similar backstory or is just a few years younger and the villain took him under his wing to protect him from town. Maybe the protagonist parents are poor and he never sees them or they died too&#8230;&hellip;<span class="activity-read-more" id="activity-read-more-47185"><a href="https://storyembers.org/activity/p/47185/" rel="nofollow ugc">[Read more]</a></span></p>
