I want to write a YA novel. How can I create engaging characters?

Power is a major theme. In his novels, many characters strive for power, like the various lords in 'A Song of Ice and Fire'. Another theme is survival. The harsh world he creates forces characters to fight for their lives. For example, during the long winters and the constant wars.

I'm sorry, I haven't read it specifically, so I can't recommend reviews directly. But you can try to search on some book review websites like Goodreads. There are usually many readers sharing their thoughts on various books there.

Community fanfiction is a form of creative writing by fans within a community. It allows fans to take the elements of an existing franchise, such as characters, relationships, and settings, and create their own narratives. This can be a great way for fans to express their love for a particular work, to fill in gaps in the original story, or to explore alternative storylines. There are often rules and norms within the community regarding how fanfiction should be written and shared, which helps to maintain a positive and creative environment.

Well, in fanfiction, anything is possible. Maybe Naruto gets transported to the Sekirei world through some sort of magic or a strange portal. This could be the start of his journey to become a Sekirei. It could also be due to a curse or a wish gone wrong that transforms him into a Sekirei - like form.

Sure. There was a story of an old Harley - Davidson motorcycle that was used in a movie in the 1950s. After the movie, it became a cult item. People would travel just to see it at a small museum dedicated to movie memorabilia.

If this is about your mom being influenced or intrigued by a story involving a young lesbian, first, have an open conversation with her. Ask her what aspects of the story she finds interesting. Maybe it's just the novelty of the plot or the characters. Try to understand her perspective without being judgmental.

Well, if it's based on a true story, it could be about a girl in a basement for various reasons. Perhaps it was a case of abduction and she was held captive there. The story might then be about how she coped during her time in the basement, any attempts she made to escape, and how she was finally discovered or rescued. It could also be about the people involved in the real - life situation, like the perpetrator if there was a criminal act, or the rescuers who saved her. And it might also touch on the community's reaction to such a situation.

One success story could be about significant weight loss. For example, someone might have lost 20 pounds in a couple of months. This is because the juice fast helps in reducing calorie intake and detoxifying the body.

It's hard to say without reading it, but it could be the strong female characters from the original 'Game of Thrones' like Arya Stark or Cersei Lannister. They are both complex characters with their own motives and arcs that could be further explored in a fanfic with an empowerment - themed title like this.

Well, perhaps it's special because it features a jolly postman during Christmas. This character can bring a sense of warmth and holiday spirit. The interactive aspect also adds to it. For example, kids can feel like they are part of the story, following the postman on his deliveries, which makes it different from regular Christmas stories.
