Re: Fridging, and how not to do it

I can see how the last line would bother you. I don't think I expressed myself properly at all (ha, should probably work on that as someone who wants to be a writer!). I was more referring to an attitude I've seen in some circles wherein a female character is considered to be "bad" if part of her purpose is to move the plot along.

It's a really difficult thing, because I need something that sends him over the edge, but I don't think that there's anyway to do that beyond killing someone who's close to him (particularly given the way the world works. When you die, if you refuse to pass on, then you remain in the world of the living and feed off of them. Part of why he goes mad is because he thinks to tempt someone into refusing to pass on). So far, what I've done is further develop his wife and make it so that she's not the one who dies, but I feel iffy about that because his main contacts are women, and so killing someone whose close to him would still involve killing a woman.

I guess the real question is: are there some instances where fridging actually works and is okay?

DA--so when you say "female characters should not drive plot," what you mean is "female characters should not be plot devices, right? Because creating any character solely to be a plot device/a means of development for another character ups the chance of the writing being kind of shaky. The integrity, the ability of characters to seem real and draw readers in, isn't as strong if someone reading the story goes "oh, I get it, character x is a catalyst for the important character's development and pain and whatever." If you're gonna kill a character off so someone else freaks out, the readers/audience should love them like the character who's left behind does. If the readers don't care, then they'll be picking the story apart going "aw, shit, another story where some girl got killed off to further Captain Stubble's manpain," instead of wanting to know what happens next.
