Edward Fahey (edward_fahey) | 9 comments I killed my narrator off part way through one of my novels, but don't tell anyone who hasn't read it yet.
It comes as quite a shock to the readers.

Edward Fahey (edward_fahey) | 9 comments I love to develop passion in my readers and one way, obviously, is to draw them into the hearts and lives of characters who have some seemingly unresolvable issues they desperately need but can't seem to reach. The readers will ache and reach along with them. If you then kill a couple of them off, it hurts and shocks the readers until they have to put the book away for a while because they have trouble dealing with that. But even just the unresolvable issues ultimately being healed or resolved will draw them in.

Sierra  Nihil (sierra_nihil) The main character of my story has built herself into someone who can survive in the circumstances that she is in. After twenty years she doesn't know how to live her life another way. Knowing that she cannot live in the new world her comrades plan on creating she decides she has to leave. during the final confrontation she fakes her death so that the people who consider themselves her friends don't have to deal with the confusion they would face if she simply left after the war was won.
