  • What is an Antihero?

    Update : Extra History was once a game development/writing-centric YouTube channel known as Extra Credits. My understanding of the change, while limited, is that the primary content creators and writers left the channel some time ago. While the content of their more recent videos has come under fire from some circles, their old Extra Credits…

  • Good is Good or Good is Bad?

    Update : Added relevant photos. Updated formatting to current blog standards. Relatable is the holy word when it comes to making good characters. A good character is always relatable in some way. There should always be something about the character that we get. We get why Batman seeks to keep criminals (who were the death…

  • Is There a Little Author in Every Character?

It keeps getting cut! Check out the other version here. Winters passed without much grumble in the village of Sinoa, and Jaranin was sure glad…

  • Excerpt – TVB: A Glimpse into an Antagonist’s Mind

    Update : Added photo. Updated formatting to current blog standards. Not sure if I’ll be including this in the actual book, but here’s an excerpt I wrote of a monologue by Maddokar, the antagonist of The Victor’s Blade. Enjoy! I am among the first-born. The strongest. The closest to our source. I am only four…
