Koshka replied to the topic If Hollywood adapted your novel… in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 4 months ago
At first I thought,”Romance, over described battles, messed up characters…”
Then I remembered my book’s cultures.
The first books MCs’ father would be shown as a bloodthirsty military captian, their mother a brutal taskmaster. The fact that this kingdom has a female home-guard would immediately warp into some feminist program. In…[Read more]

Ugh. Talk about the author’s/reader’s nightmare. I avoid watching any movies based off books I love – even if the author helped direct it! XD
For my first series, they would definitely make up some love interest characters, maybe even change one of my character’s backstory from having lost a sister to having lost a, well not a sister.…[Read more]

Yay!!! Allegory is one of my favorite genres!
Ok, what are some of my favorites…
A series my sister is writing, which is totally AWESOME!! She doesn’t have a set title yet, but whenever it gets published it will definitely be my go to recommend!
Narnia. Every time I read them I find another something deeper. The other works of his…[Read more]

Well, I only have one moon, but it’s not exactly like ours, at least not for this far north Kingdom, and is a huge part of their culture. On the first full moon of the frozen months, she turns blood red (when she’s called Warrior), and the first full moon of warm weather she’s gold (Conqueror). These moons mark the two ‘seasons’ of…[Read more]

Allegories!!! (As opposed to allergies which is what auto correct wants to change it to)
First off, hooray! Go for it!
But now on to business. (Or perhaps better described as a long rambling of my thoughts)
What are my favorite allegories?
I like Biblical retelling type allegories, but as I don’t know what specific type you’re doing,…[Read more]

This is going to be interesting…
Viktor
They would not get his sister. He would not let them. They would suppose she was a truant slave. They would punish her for assisting intruders. They…
They would look past her Yartassite upbringing and see her Eirtanian blood.
But no, Alyona wouldn’t be the one to…[Read more]

That is sweet and good. I’m enjoying hearing about their story.
Oh, Paxton, Luna. I feel so sorry for you. Your author needs to give you both a big hug. (Pretends my charies have no trauma)
If you ever want to rant about your books, feel free to tag me!

Oh, that’s such a smart idea! 🙂 I’ve heard of Tron before but have yet to actually watch it!

Their worlds? Different worlds? Several worlds? Different universe? Worlds converging?Â
Everett tried to keep up his smirk, but with every word this girl–Feather–said, he felt the corners of his mouth drooping more and more. H…[Read more]

Jean Coul replied to the topic Side Characters (FP,WS) in the forum Characters 4 years, 4 months ago
Hmmmm…. I like this topic, first off, because I also have some underdeveloped side characters, so I can relate.
Because of that, however, I may not be the most helpful, but I will try to offer some advice. I also think I remember you referring to this story about the mentor. But I don’t know much more that that so just keep that in…[Read more]

Jean Coul replied to the topic Character Castle! in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 4 months ago
Oh! So you write fanfics???? Cool! I’ve never really dabbled in it myself but enjoy reading them! The one about Feather and her sisters sounds really interesting! I thought you had mentioned Rinzler was from Voltron at first instead of Tron and I was like, I’ve never heard of him XD

Jean Coul replied to the topic I technically count as new in the forum Start HERE 4 years, 4 months ago
Yes!!!!!!! I love that series so much! The characters are great and that’s probably the main thing I look for in good stories! And the world is really cool too! I’m so excited/nervous for the next book because all the secrets are going to be revealed and we’ve been waiting for them for a while! Um… I think I’ve been into it since…[Read more]

Koshka replied to the topic Age Gap in the forum Characters 4 years, 4 months ago
That actually sounds really fun! And as for the age gap, that isn’t a problem. My Grandmother is older than my Grandfather, and there’s a nine year gap between my parents, but seriously, age gaps aren’t a real problem (obviously if God intended), some people simply need someone older/younger than them.
And I love the idea of an…[Read more]

Yes! I love Star Wars! Feather sounds awesome! I’m so interested in your characters and their story now!!!

Ah, forgiveness and trust together can be quite powerful. Have you ever read the Promise of Zion series by Robert Elmer? It’s centered around the creation of the Israeli State, and those are a couple of the themes.
The map style is based off folklore, each object made up of others (example: a mountain is, if one looks close enough,…[Read more]

Jean Coul replied to the topic Character Castle! in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 4 months ago
Quick question! Could you give me a brief description of your characters appearances?? I’d love to know more about them. You probably said something some time back but I’m not sure if I can find it…
Also, is Feather a girl or boy? I wasn’t sure so I didn’t really talk too much about them. 🙂

Ahhhhhh!!!! Yes! It seems you understand it so well, even though I didn’t explain my WIP very well (at least in my opinion XD). Daren feels very insecure about only having one hand and it affects her relationships greatly. Thank you for your kind words!
And your lack of commas is an interesting, and rather admiring, style! I like…[Read more]

Ooooh! Your characters sound super cool! Okay! I’ll try, but bare with me cuz I have no idea what I’m doing! I have next to zero role-playing experience!
Also, I apologized before-hand for my character’s attitude. He’s kind of rude sometimes…

Alright, thanks! I’m going to be completely honest that I haven’t been following the story the entire time (I mean, it is over 400 pages…) so I’m not sure if I’ll be doing this right or not, but please let me know so I can fix anything! I’m not really sure how to do this, but I guess I’ll try… 🙂
