Episode 270: Its Complicated - the Highs and Lows of Relationships in Speculative Fiction

If you want your characters to pop and have layers of nuance, then you need to master the art of character interaction. This week, Jules and Madeleine take a look at several broad relationship categories and dig in to what makes them easy or difficult. From parent-child interactions to sibling dynamics to how these early relationships might inform your characters' behaviour and friendships later on in their lives, the dragons drill down to what aspects you (the writer) might need to consider. Under the microscope this week - My Hero Academia, It by Stephen King and many more.
