“Ashlynn!” a voice shouts from behind. “Watch out for-” I’m knocked unconscious before the voice can finish it’s sentence.

Maybe here you could describe how the character was knocked unconscious more…for example, you could say, “I felt something hard strike the back of my head, and everything went black.” Or something like that. 🙂

Hm… the biggest problem to me seems to be the rushed flow of it @adry_grace. Also, the characters have zero personality. You know ’em because you’ve seen whatever it is they’re from, and it’s cool to you to have them in these situations because you know them and it’s fun to think how they would react, but I as a reader not familiar with the…[Read more]

Thanks, @kate-flournoy! 😀 I had that idea right after finishing the gingerbread part. I was just “YES I NEED TO DO THIS.”
Yay! I’m so glad you liked it, @jadamae! I love it when non fans still like the fanfiction. 🙂 Still, you should watch the show. 😛

@rolena-hatfield, It is a lot of fun. We actually have performances for the True Story of the Three Little Pigs this week! 😀
My favorite musicals are Les Miserables and Wicked. Do you have a favorite musical/show? Ooo, Mary Poppins! That sounds like fun. 🙂

*slowly raises hand* I’m an S. That’s my most solid preference, actually. But I only know like one other S type writer, so your pattern is a thing, @daeus. 😛

An update on what I’m doing with my newsletter in case anyone cares.

1. I’ve changed the name to a much more catchy ‘Legend Seekers’ (verses ‘Writing in the Light Readers’)

2. I’ve worked on switching the focus of my newsletters to things fantasy readers would find cool; humorous tips in case you are caught away into a magical land, scenes…[Read more]

Umm, what does everyone think about spending $50 on a really cool, fantasy-looking dagger? To be clear, I have not bought said dagger. But I’ve seen it a few times and my fingers are itching to wrap around the ivory handle and trace the sharp glinting blade…ok, so that’s a tad dramatic. 😉 But, not that this is a super important question or that…[Read more]

Good points, everyone.

And no more, @Daeus. I. Am. Reading. Dreamland! And now I will try to forget that someone is going to die and hope that, this time, everything will turn out right.

I finished it @writefury— lovely. *grins widely* That last line was perfect. 😉

Hahaha… guess what guys, I just found out that one of my villains is an ESTP…

… and so is an incredibly vain pygmy dragon who belongs to one of my MC’s (Arianwen, @writefury— from the ‘Inter-genre Island’ thread) as a pet.

Oh yes, Boromir, definitely. Both sacrificial and redemptive.

Come to think of it, Thorin’s death as well, @hope, though in the movie. The one in the book wasn’t all that impressive.
Thorin’s death was neither sacrificial nor redemptive, and so it was more bitter than, say, Sydney Carton’s death in A Tale of Two Cities, but it worked because he…[Read more]

*huddles down and hides face in hands, whimpering and sobbing and clutching dark hair with long white fingers* I’m gonna cry.

I am so gonna cry.

@kate-flournoy Yes, I’m afraid it is. I struggled with it for a bit, but it really is the best (and most traumatizing choice). I’m afraid most of my family is thinking I’m a bit weird because I’ve been talking about how I have to kill someone in my story and they’re all like ‘why?’ So now I’m working on making it as traumatic for everyone else as possible.

*Cries dutifully, then realizes who you were referring to @writefury and starts bawling in earnest*

Yes. That death. Totally that death. It’s not just that he sacrificed his life, either— he sacrificed his reputation. See @hope, the MC had just been framed for a crime he didn’t commit and no one could prove he hadn’t committed it. So the MC’s…[Read more]

Hey, I like that. I would totally read that @writefury. Keep me on your list for potential beta readers— again, can’t promise anything because my schedule—correction: my LIFE is so unpredictable. But keep me on your list. 😀

Well, as for Quinn, the usual hardships for a slave— especially the ‘taking orders unconditionally’ bit, which will…[Read more]
