#WritersCoffeeClub 26: Have you used a MacGuffin in your writing? Be honest. Weirdly, not often. At least, in terms of objects. I don't know if murderers and potential-murderers count. Or souls. *eyes Lucius* In terms of objects, the last one I remember off the top of my head was many years ago, when Kse and Paradigm were looking for the Architect of Light (I love misreading/hearing things, it gives me the best names) for an AI called Maxim who wanted a human body. Unfinished, unsurprisingly.
What did the Architect of Light do (other than apparently have the power to wipe out worlds)? I don't know. Luckily I ran out of energy before I really got that far. There's a random snippet of Kse and Paradigm finding the... thing (it looked kinda like a large and fancy white backdrop stand folded up 😅), and then some stuff from afterwards where a bunch of murderous androids wanted to know how Maxim had got his AI self into a human body. I'd love to know that too!
