Even if the watchful eye doesn't always slide over there, the pits of #CharactersHell never stop burning! Especially with the devilish co-hosting of @LadyofMind!
And in theme with the hell, one of the reasons we had to skip a week were the storms that kinda sorta made yours truly lose his step a bit, and end up having to miss a post... hopefully that won't happen anymore.
But! With that being said, let's delve into #CharactersHell, shall we?
COPYRIGHT HELL
We start this week's showcase of #CharactersHell with author A.S. McGowan, who brings us in a world where it seems that cocky rich people got away with their trademarking! What a horrible place to live! Katrine 5.0, her character, shows us some of the problems her world faces now...
#CharactersHell Kathryn 5.0 here and I am ticked. A moron trademarked the word baby. Now my daughter is called a little human. Another moron just trademarked the word heart. Have you ever tried to declare your love and having to replace the word heart with blood pumping organ? pic.twitter.com/Ld8igEgZh4— A.S. McGowan (@authorASMcGowan) June 3, 2018
The ominous Trademark Commission is hot on her tail though....
Exaxtly our point. She is organizing marches claiming the trademarking of common words is unfair and the law is killing our language. We give people alternative words to use to replace the trademarked words. Just plain ungrateful - Trademark Commission— A.S. McGowan (@authorASMcGowan) June 10, 2018
UNIONIZED HELL
As it seems, some characters had enough of their personal hells, and they decided to put up a union and start a strike!
In a heated discussion about their authors, some of the characters became fed up, and a certain villainous woman from a certain cyber-fantasy book, proposed to union to sort their grievances! Does her heinous ways know no bounds??
An idea that seemed to take on as bourbon kept being poured, enjoyed even by ancient, supernatural beings. After all, it's not a good strike without bourbon.
And tactics are getting discussed!
We finish tonight's showcase dedicating some of our thoughts to our fathers - the authors' and the characters' both. If it wasn't for them, a lot of us wouldn't be around, and a lot of characters wouldn't exist so... Happy Father's Day people!
Stay tuned for more!

Liz: Know what? Strikes *do* sound like a good plan.— Manuel Arbanassi (@m_arbanassi) June 13, 2018
We really need a union.

Celeste: I don't know if it's strictly possible for me to strike, but this seems amusing, snd there's plenty of disgusting little beverages to try. I suppose you have my support too.— Martyn Currill (@Maliceunchained) June 14, 2018

Tim- "How do we go about that union talk? I tend to follow a different sort of organization. More strikes, better story lines, less danger... I suppose that sounds good to some characters... #CharactersHell union local..." *Drinks* "IDK reporting for duty."— Ladyofmind (@ladyofmind721) June 13, 2018
GRATEFUL DEVILS
And with that, we conclude this week's showcase! And remember, go follow the devilish co-host LadyOfMind to keep visiting our #CharactersHell !We just want to say Happy #FathersDay,— Ladyofmind (@ladyofmind721) June 17, 2018
Whether you're the supportive sort, or the other kinds, if it wasn't for you #dads, we wouldn't have been motivated the way we have been. A special thanks to the fatherly figures that guided some of us too!
