“Eragon started as me but ended up evolving into his very own character, .. Even as he has gone through his coming- of- age story, the process of writing and publishing these novels has been my own coming- of- age story. There are parallels between my own experience and Eragon's, but fortunately, I don't have people charging at me with swords.” PeopleWritingHas BeensCharacterStoriesAgeProcessMy OwnNovelGoneEvolveComing Of AgePublishingParallelsChargingEragon Author:Christopher Paolini

I like category confusion.” StoriesAgeFormMonstersLove StoryConfusionNarrativeComing Of AgeCategoriesSuperheroGothicMixingTropesIncongruity Author:Kelly Link
