I would go for the king, terrify him to death with my ‘magical powers’ and start from there. Hey, I would make a pretty good mad scientist. 😉

Another thing I’m thinking about the MC (he sounds absolutely stunning, by the way) is that maybe some of the way he destroyed the dictator has to do with something he stole out of the time machine. (Being…[Read more]

@daeus I will feel free to do so in the future, then.

I think them hiding that they’re from the future would create a nice sort of tension undercurrent with them and the resistance. I mean, if they told them “Hey, we’re from this wacky future world and we came here in a time machine”, they’d probably think they were insane and not even listen to…[Read more]

This idea. Is extremely awesome.

Okay, sorry. I couldn’t resist. XD

Ah, thank you. I now know I’m not the only one who has that sort of vague story-ending problem. 😛
Okay, ideas on fixing that. What happened to the time machine, anyway? You could use that again. Go through your story concept, find as many Chekov’s Guns as you can, and figure…[Read more]

Ooh… oh boy. I volunteer for beta reading already. I’ve gotta run right now, so I’ll let this stew in my mind for a while, but believe me I will be getting back to you as soon as I can. Which will probably be sometime tomorrow. 😛

Hm…

You might be. 😉

Oh.

Dare I ask if I am familiar with this… this other couple? 😉

@kate-flournoy I’m gad you think so. Though I was actually thinking about another…couple. 😉

If you’re talking about Cyth and Analissa, @Hope, I’d definitely say you did a good job with that.

Actually…umm (*blushes and averts eyes*) I was thinking of one of my own books in which I’ve done this (how well I’ve done it is for others to judge, but I think it came off pretty well). It is hard to find a book that has romance but where it’s not a super big part of the story…my mind is blank right now, but I’ll tell you if I think of any.

You do have a nice big family, @Hannah-Krynicki! I have four brothers and five sisters— just the opposite! It’s quite an adventure, isn’t it? 😉

Hey, Hannah! Great to have you here! 🙂
Well, looks like we’re even on the brother count, but you’ve got me beat on sisters. 😛

@Daeus I’d rather stay floored— I’m scared of heights.

Thanks so much, @Hope!

Welcome @Hannah-Krynicki! I love fantasy too. Are you working on a fantasy story right now?

Wow; I’m not even going to try to correct it…poetry isn’t my area of expertise, as you know. 😉 But just..wow. I loved it!

Unfortunately I think I need all the common sense I can get my hands on, @Daeus. 😛

And I will keep writing poetry.

Wow, I’m… I just… I’m still floored you liked it so much.

Egh, forgot the tag thingy.
@Daeus.

😉

Wow! I really did think it was terrible— just awful. I guess I’m not an objective judge. 😛 Thanks so much, Daeus— for everything.

Oh yes, the contradiction about the king deserting and all that… 😛 Actually the poem went through a backstory change in the middle of writing it, and I hadn’t yet got around to fixing it. 😛

And you know,…[Read more]

Dear Imaginary Friend—

You asked for it.

Son of a Warrior

Love is sacrifice. Only with the gift of everything it is will it ever come into the fullness of everything it was meant to be.

The weary warrior in the night, riding true and fast and far,
with love of land and love of king to guide him, and a star,
looks to me and says to me…
