So tell me, friendslist

What's the first time you ever killed off a character?

One of yours, I mean, one you'd petted and fed and watered and seen grow. One who'd surprised you, multiple times. One you'd grown to love and see yourself in, and - more gratifyingly - see all the ways you're different and always will be. One you'd enjoyed knowing, in all his or her or its imperfect rambling ways.

I'm two martinis in and I don't know how to feel.

That is a sword that cuts both ways, isn't it, when you lose that autonomy. Must make the plot roll better, though. No pun intended.

Sometimes I think a great failing of LJRP is the authorial power over every affect on one's own character. Death is a conscious choice, carelessly made or not - it's nearly never, on the meta level, an accident.
