Can You Mix and Match Archetypal Character Arcs?

http://helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com http://www.kmweiland.com Historical and speculative novelist K.M. Weiland offers tips and essays about the writing life to help other writers understand the ins and outs of the craft and the psychology behind the inspiration. *** This week's question is from Asha Lark (from Patreon): "I have a few questions about writing with archetypal arcs. I'm writing muti-POV with three characters, one Queen, one Maiden, and one that I think is flat who would theoretically be 'Parent'. It's dystopia/action, an I'm intending it to be a series. 1. On the timing of the archetypal beats within the overall plot/novel. Some archetypal beats, particularly for the Queen who is separated from her children for much of the book, happen without her there. E.g., the first pinch point when the 'children clamour for action', is seen through the POV of the Maiden, not the Queen. Is it more important that the pinch point be close to the 25% mark of the novel, and have the Queen react to it a bit later when she learns about it, or is it the Queen's REACTION that needs to happen at around the 25% mark? Or, am I (plot twist!) possibly not writing a Queen arc if she is away from her children for much of the book, in which case her pinch point would be something more immediate that she is dealing with before finding out... 2. The flat arc character. He is post-Hero, so theoretically he is a Parent. He is the brother of the Maiden, so that works fine. He is the love interest of the Queen, and I think that works - there is a lot of friction over who leads, and she gets more air time and changes more. He spends the whole time trying (heroically) to look after both of them and realises towards the end that he has to let them make their own stand, but it's really the first glimpse of the truth, he hasn't completed the arc. I'm confused: Am I writing a flat arc, with the baby steps of a Queen arc at the end? Can the Parent be a workable love interest for someone on the Queen arc?" *** Enjoy my content?
