Request for Feedback


Nearly two and a half years ago I did a photo shoot for a simgenix challenge based on the seven deadly sins. Mine was done on Lust. No surprise there right? I've learned a lot in nearly three years and I'd like to complete the set. I would love some feedback from anyone who reads this.

I considered doing the remaining six sins using the girls from Chameleon.

Clockwise we have Ambrosia, Sienna (standing), Marielle, Onyx, Lyra, Rhapsody. I am not sure that the remaining sins fit the girls' personalities however. Plus I've done photo shoots with them (except for Marielle and Melinda)

My other idea was using characters from our stories which would require some feedback from you, the readers. I hope I am making this clear...what I would like are some comments/feedback as to what characters would be interesting in a photo shoot of the remaining sins which are as follows:

Avarice
Envy
Gluttony
Sloth
Vanity
Wrath

It can be any combination of characters. I could even do a new one based on Lust if anyone would like to suggest who to use or would even be interested.

  1. Ryan: wrath
    Camilla: vanity
    Jimmy: sloth

    I was going to say Rayne for envy but she seems to getting over that.

    I hope you do it. There's a place for creativity beyond writing.

  2. Those are very good suggestions...wondering if I should have included a question about what color is associated with those sins...

  3. I am still catching up on this, so my opinion on who plays who would be inaccurate I think, but I absolutely love this idea!! I know the typical interpretation of Gluttony would be someone over-eating or something, but I've always felt it could mean being selfish in any other way, as well... like, with material possessions, or someone with a sex problem. I feel like those fall under that category as well. Although that's covered under avarice as well, so...

    Colors? Hmm.
    Vanity = White
    Envy = Green (hah)
    Wrath = .. well I would say red, but red works for Lust and that was the color you chose for that one too, so um... wrath wrath wrath. Gray? Black?
    Sloth = like, muddy brown/moss slowwww like molasses, lazyyyyy like a muddy stream.
    Gluttony = I don't know why but the girl from Willie Wonka pops into my head with the blueberry gum. So blue. :P
    Avarice = that's a hard one. I wonder if it could be ALL the colors. Because it's wanting it ALL. Or maybe yellow would work, although yellow is such a cheery color it might be interpreted as being too sunny.

  4. Christi thank you! I was thinking along the same lines as you with gluttony but over-indulging or selfish would be similar right?

    I'm thinking I could re-use red for wrath or even orange. Or black.

    This gives me something to think about. Thank you so much for leaving me feedback.

  5. When I think of gluttony, I think of over doing it or taking too much, to me that's Gemma. Maybe because she's hungry for success and will do whatever it takes to get it.

    As for colors:
    I agree with Christi. Wrath, I'd say black.

  6. Then again.. Gemma for Avarice and Gabe for gluttony?

  7. Qui that is brilliant! Gemma would be perfect for that! And that's two for wrath being black so black it will be...

    Thank you Qui!

  8. Also very good options...yes, avarice is greed...Gemma to a tee. Gabe and gluttony would work too.

  9. What a great idea Gayl, look forward to it. I am not much good at this, but, I can see Cooper for wrath, since he seems on a tear at the moment.

    Blade, envy, for everything Cooper has.
    Beth, Avarice, she wants it all. All men, at her feet.

    Have fun with it~

  10. ~Drew: Cooper would be one option for wrath, Blade is a stellar choice for envy! As for Beth's avarice I'm thinking that is directed at only one man...and who can blame her.

    Is that Brogan in your avatar? I love it!

  11. No, That is Lorcan (speaking of lust) in mid-thrust, LOL!

    Actually, what I was picturing in my mind was Beth splayed on a sofa, Cooper standing nearby, back in shadow, Blade and Ryan, or any other men. I always got the impression Beth likes the attention of other men, but yes, her attention and direction is at one man only, the one standing the closest. Or, as usual, I am no doubt off base~*snort*

    Ok, maybe Beth would be better for lust after all~

  12. Hmmm...you know I agree with with Qui about avarice. Gemma is definitely the right choice. And Beth already said Cam for vanity which is soooo on point. Gluttony could be Coop. He wants his cake and wants to eat it too. And his last visit to Mel's shows that too. Jimmy could be envy. There's soooo much that other people have that he wants.

    As for the colors...whatever you go with will work. :)

Thanks for leaving me your thoughts ~ they always mean a lot.

In Perfect Harmony

In June of 2007 I posted my first chapter of Dark December. Since that time, the story has evolved and changed in part through a collaboration that developed and lasted over 4 years. During this time a friendship was forged. Thank you Beth, for unwavering friendship, support, and generosity over these last 4+ years. It has been a journey I will never forget.
