A predilection for ‘un-a-living’ sorcerers?

Having done a pass on the first three chapters that I wrote year ago, I’m working through the outline/structure for Misfits 2 today, including building the book-specific character bible, etc. And I decided that I need a (‘neutral party’) sorcerer character for a fairly minor role and thought it would be fun to bring a character ‘back’.

So I started digging through the master Adept universe bible to find a suitable candidate for this role … and kept digging … and digging … and then noticing an unfortunate trend …

It appears that I have a pretty bad habit of offing all of my sorcerer characters. With a very few notable exceptions (none of whom work for this cameo role).

Is it possible that have a not-so-thinly veiled prejudice against a subset of my own creations? And if yes, that’s just a little weird, right?

Okay … I’m still digging through the bible … I’ll find a sorcerer! Or I’ll make one up, then try not to off them in this book. Try. Try real hard. 😂

On my desk today … three notebooks in the process of being consolidated down to one.

Tomorrow I’ll re-read all three of Kandy’s shorter stories and see if I’ve missed any juicy callbacks from those.

Fun! Fun!

I did finish the fifth dowser book where Warner, Kett, and Jade go to a dance club to find an amplifier. There is a DJ sorcerer, haha. He survives the party. Probably doesn’t match what you are looking for, but just in case, now you know. At least one sorcerer alive. Still working my way through the books. If I find more I’ll let you know. Just to ease the guilt of all the other dead ones 😜
