lisabrowndraws @LaurelSnyder Well now here's a q: do
characters NEED a backstory in the author's mind? #Rosencrantz&Guildenstern
#mglitchat -9:10 PM Feb 14th, 2013
KateMilford @LaurelSnyder Agreed. That's what makes them seem
real, even if they only get a scene or two. #mglitchat -9:10 PM Feb 14th, 2013
matt_janacone Is love stories in stories what w're chattin'
about? #mglitchat -9:10 PM Feb 14th, 2013

their secondary characters well enough that they COULD write them their own

remember? #mglitchat -9:11 PM Feb 14th, 2013
LaurelSnyder @lisabrowndraws Okay, maybe not always. But to
make a CHOICE like that is just as carefully considered. It's not sloppy.
#mglitchat -9:11 PM Feb 14th, 2013

regarded as subordinate to the one he accompanies. #MGLitChat -9:12 PM Feb

#mglitchat -9:12 PM Feb 14th, 2013

be different from the MC, though necessarily the opposite. #MGLitChat -9:16 PM

AniProf [A] foil is a character who contrasts with another
character in order to highlight particular qualities of the other character.

DustHansen @KDuBayGillis I think it's a matter of heart and
support for IVAN in this example.There was impact, but not sure about change.
#MGLitChat -9:47 PM Feb 14th, 2013
DustHansen @KDuBayGillis great question and insight.

BetsyTacyTib RT @lisabrowndraws: @rebstead @LaurelSnyder
Will do. How about Betsy/Tacy? #mglitchat -9:47 PM Feb 14th, 2013
KristineAsselin MG standup. you guys are killing me! RT
@ilanawaters: @elliefalcone Enjoy the veal, and dont forget to tip your
waitress. #Mglitchat -9:48 PM Feb 14th, 2013
ilanawaters @KristineAsselin @elliefalcone Just doing our
job of preventing any serious #mglitchat, ma'am. *salutes* -9:49 PM Feb 14th,
2013
elliefalcone Read any stories where the sidekick/2nd
character ruined the story? #mglitchat -9:49 PM Feb 14th, 2013
KDuBayGillis Anyone have a secondary character that they
wish had their own book? We discussed some examples of some who did earlier.
#mglitchat -9:50 PM Feb 14th, 2013
ilanawaters @elliefalcone Shrek? "DON-KEH!" But
maybe not. Also, in original book...not so much donkey. #mglitchat -9:50 PM Feb
14th, 2013
KDuBayGillis @elliefalcone Ooooh, good question. #mglitchat
-9:51 PM Feb 14th, 2013
elliefalcone @KDuBayGillis You mean from our own books or
someone else's? #mglitchat -9:52 PM Feb 14th, 2013
DustHansen @ilanawaters @elliefalcone Movies have done this
and SHREK is a good example - Puss in Boots. (maybe he's 2ndary - not
sidekick). #MGLitChat -9:52 PM Feb 14th, 2013
elliefalcone @KDuBayGillis Because I'd love to have a
Hermione book. Granted, there was enough of her in HP but still... #mglitchat
-9:52 PM Feb 14th, 2013
DustHansen @elliefalcone @KDuBayGillis I think a lot of
fan-fiction comes from this very problem. I know the POTTER world is ripe with
this. #MGLitChat -9:53 PM Feb 14th, 2013
KDuBayGillis @elliefalcone Either, but I'm thinking more of
MG books we all might know. #mglitchat -9:53 PM Feb 14th, 2013
KristineAsselin Sidekicks sometimes take on a life of their.
On T.V., The Fonz was not originally the star of Happy Days. #Mglitchat -9:53
PM Feb 14th, 2013
KristineAsselin Yes..RT @elliefalcone: @KDuBayGillis Because
Id love to have a Hermione book. Granted, there was enough of her in HP but
still... #Mglitchat -9:53 PM Feb 14th, 2013
DustHansen @elliefalcone @KDuBayGillis Problem is the wrong
word - sorry - this question/situation - #MGLitChat -9:53 PM Feb 14th, 2013
kurtisscaletta @KDuBayGillis Google from Mamba Point.
#mglitchat -9:54 PM Feb 14th, 2013
DustHansen @elliefalcone @KDuBayGillis haha - first thing
that came to my mind s well. #MGLitChat -9:54 PM Feb 14th, 2013
elliefalcone I can think of one book where the 2nd ruined
the book for me. I couldn't read it because I thought he was too much a
caricature. #mglitchat -9:54 PM Feb 14th, 2013
DustHansen @KristineAsselin I'd argue that The Fonz was a
2ndary character,not a sidekick. The Fonz would NOT like being called a
sidekick:) #MGLitChat -9:55 PM Feb 14th, 2013
KDuBayGillis @elliefalcone I would love to know more about
Safer from @rebstead's LIAR & SPY or Julia in WHEN YOU REACH ME #mglitchat
-9:55 PM Feb 14th, 2013
ilanawaters @DustHansen @elliefalcone Yes! Didn't he get his
own movie? And a book deal? And a house in the Hamptons...#mglitchat -9:55 PM
Feb 14th, 2013
elliefalcone @KDuBayGillis That's on my TBR pile. I need to
read faster. :( #mglitchat -9:56 PM Feb 14th, 2013
DustHansen @ilanawaters @elliefalcone And all the cat nip he
could eat (or whatever cats do with catnip) #MGLitChat -9:57 PM Feb 14th, 2013
ilanawaters Well, it's been awesome, as always. But I must
cut and run. I had a great time tonight...*blushes* *twirls hair around finger*
#mglitchat -9:57 PM Feb 14th, 2013
KristineAsselin Lisa Schroeder 's middle grade IT'S RAINING
CUPCAKES has a sequel where the sidekick gets her own book... #Mglitchat -9:57
PM Feb 14th, 2013
ilanawaters @DustHansen @elliefalcone *shudders* I don't
even WANT to know. #justsayno #tocatnip #mglitchat -9:58 PM Feb 14th, 2013
elliefalcone @DustHansen Mine role in it and then fight with
each other. #mglitchat -9:58 PM Feb 14th, 2013
DustHansen Chewbacca is still my favorite sidekick ever.
Please tell me he's MG 'cuz that's when I discovered him. #MGLitChat -9:58 PM
Feb 14th, 2013
ilanawaters @KristineAsselin Mmmm....cupcakes. Any books
that use pastries as precipitation are fine by me! #mglitchat -9:58 PM Feb
14th, 2013
KristineAsselin But he was supposed to be...RT @DustHansen:
Id argue that The Fonz was a 2ndary character,not a sidekick. #Mglitchat -9:58
PM Feb 14th, 2013
ilanawaters @DustHansen Star Wars is truly for all (most)
ages. And now I really must leave this #mglitchat! -9:59 PM Feb 14th, 2013
DustHansen @ilanawaters @elliefalcone all my suggestions are
decidedly NOT MG. Backing away. #MGLitChat -9:59 PM Feb 14th, 2013
KristineAsselin Night all. Good chat! #Mglitchat -9:59 PM
Feb 14th, 2013

DustHansen @ilanawaters I know - but the 12 year old guy
with a beard is going to hold on to it like a ..well, 12 year old boy.
#MGLitChat -10:00 PM Feb 14th, 2013
DustHansen cya @ilanawaters - youz cool. See what you find
