Writing Notes: Fictional Poisons

Sophonisba Receiving the Poisoned Chalice (detail)
Simon Vouet
c.1623

Not everything we have in our world will fit the stories you're writing.

If none of these options work for you, the best call may be to invent your own fictional poisons.

There are 5 key points you need to think about when creating a poison for your story:

Where it’s sourced from: This can help if you’re looking to add in an interesting plot point or some foreshadowing of the upcoming poisoning.

How the poison works: Understanding its capabilities and limitations can help you describe its effects on the page.

What can counteract it: In case you want to give your character a fighting chance.

The symptoms of the poisoning: Describe it in all its gory detail!

And how long it takes to have an effect.

Besides that, there are all the cultural aspects around your poisons: How do your characters get access, and what will people think of them using it?

It’s also worth noting that the success of a poisoning is somewhat determined by how common they are.

Example: If you’re dealing with a setting like Ancient Rome, there’s probably a whole class of people who have food and drink tasters to prevent exactly this kind of thing.
