30 Days of Writing Questions – Day 10

10. What are some really weird situations your characters have been in? Everything from serious canon scenes to meme questions counts!

I think weird is a pretty subjective term. My romance novels are paranormal or fantasy or science fiction so by their very nature most of the situations my characters find themselves in are weird:

- one character was teleported into a magical dimension during a magical experiment gone wrong

- in a totally different scenario a magician’s assistance is sucked into a magical dimension by three mischievous school boys

- in the course of one novel, the characters have to make their way through a swamp filled with piranha-like eels; fight off thieving fairies; escape from cannibalistic natives; escape from amazons; and survive a frozen wasteland

- a magician’s apprentice faces off with the devil over a game of solitaire

- a woman on the run from villagers who think she’s a witch escapes into a sentient forest

And that's just the tip of the ice berg. Weird is normal for my worlds, it's what makes them interesting. Weird is my middle name. :-)

I totally agree with you, weirdness is relative! It's the context, that makes something appear weird! :-)
