I REALLY need your help in writing a small part of my fanfic, Despicable Us, a sequel to Despicable Me (obviously). I'm on chapter 62 and need to write ch. 63 asap.
in order for this to make sense you probably need to have seen Despicable Me or at least be familiar with the characters. it helps even more if you've read the fanfic, or some of it at the least, but you probably haven't.
The fanfic is from a first person POV, it switches between Gru and Wren and occasionally Margo.
I'm planning to write in a scene where Gru is working on the attack plan with Wren and Dr. Nefario (now retired) calls, and he's all like 'retirement is drudgery' and he's at some fancy beach resort and Gru is all like 'yeah, it's been terribly dull without you' and he's holding hands with Wren. xDDD
It has the potential for great lulziness, but herein lies the problem.
How the hell do I tell it from a first person POV?
I tried writing in third person and it turned out awful and stilted, so no chance of that.
Any suggestions? The first person to come up with an idea that works gets a free drawing of any kind of owl, or bird, that they want. or 5k. your choice.
Also, speaking of lulziness I have a theory that all humor comes from incongruity. Chew on that for a while, test it and you'll see I'm right.
