Your Hosts: Brandon, Valynne, Dan, and Howard You had questions. We came up with answers. The questions are below: * How do you fulfill promises about character arcs without being cliché? How do you subvert character tropes without betraying the reader? * Do you need to complete each character arc in a single story featuring multiple characters? * What separates an iconic character from a caricature? * Have you ever had an iconic character necessarily become a character in need of an arc? * How do you continue a character's story after they've completed their original arc? * How much does a character need to change in their arc?
