Re: CONSTAAAANT DEATH

I love it if the death serves a purpose beyond OMG SHOCK or THESE ARE THE STAKES or "okay this mentor needs to disappear so the main character can do some stuff on his/her own."

So Harry Potter deaths are just 'meh' for me since they fall into either Voldemort Kill Count or Harry's Dead Parent Figures. Cedric wasn't bad, but the last book was especially egregious with its tendency to kill off characters just to raise the death count.

Whereas I mostly like Game of Thrones approach. Deaths change the flow and tide of the overarching war that the characters are caught in, influence the plot, deeply affect the characters they leave behind, etc etc.

Homestuck... though. Homestuck is it's own different beast. I mean, characters die multiple times in multiple timelines but their ghosts live on and still interact in meaningful ways and sometimes even come back to life, so... yeah. I don't consider really anyone from that verse as truly "dead."
