The Horse and His Boy is my favourite Narnia book😊.

Yeah, I haven’t learnt the Hebrew letters, but that ‘cha’ sound is really hard to make. Still, I like the feel it gives my language😁. Here’s a sample:

“Ûne li’hatevet Férījinar Sechol.”

(translation: I don’t speak Férījinarian (language))

“Ira? Hûsī hovet Ira?”

(translatio…[Read more]

*note: to clarify my ambiguous “letter”. I meant כ and ח. Both make a throaty sound.

Thanks! It’ll be interesting to watch play out.

Also, about your culture, Horse and His Boy was always a favorite in our house. I can hardly run across hot pavement without thinking about Tashbaan. I love that you’re including the oud, which I only discovered the other day. About the veils, I know very little except what one might find in early…[Read more]

@keilah-h

I’ll keep that in mind😉 *Resolves to get first five books out of library*

@elishavet-pidyon

Thanks! I never knew that, about the early Slav federation. That’s so neat you’re using it in your book!😃

@keilah-h Brothers, am I right?😂 S’fine, my older brother loves to tease me about the name I made up in a Paper Mario fan fic of mine for a technological sphere that could be used like a super computer to destroy every world in the multi-world existence of my story — I called it…

DRUMROLL …

The S.D. Sphere.

Short of self-destruction sphere.…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel

Oh, I love building cultures and hearing what other people have made!

Let’s see… I don’t know the ú sound, it might be Hebrew (I’m not very far in).

Keivan Rus is basically the name of a federation of Slavs in the 9th to the mid 13th century. The part I mixed in is mostly from the older northern groups. They were a…[Read more]

@keilah-h Thanks! I did see it, now you’re making me think I’ll have to try the Wings of Fire series😁

@koshka Thanks! That’s cool!

@lorelei-writer

Ok, I’m sorry I have taken so long to reply. My favorite genres to read are most likely (medieval) fantasy, or theology/doctrine. I also love a good historical fiction!

All four of my books are differing types of fantasy, between medieval and animals (if that’s a type). My other project is kid’s church curriculum.

What are yours?

@trahia-the-minstrel

Oh, oh, your names are lovely. Hebrew? My sister is learning Hebrew!

@elfwing

Your lines are great! I like Faeda, being short myself. And is Tyroll her older, or younger brother?

@elishavet-pidyon

The û? Do you know which culture it comes from? Also, that’s epic you’re learning Hebrew!😃 I watched some beginners’ videos to learn the structure — in terms of it being an SVO language, like English. Unlike my main kingdom’s language, which is an SOV language, like Japanese.

I like the mix of cultures you’re using for Eirtan!…[Read more]

Ok, so now I can’t contain myself. @trahia-the-minstrel, did you say your desert country is Hebrew influenced? (Note gleeful chewing of lip) I’m learning Hebrew. Also, Eirtan is a mix of Celtic, Norse, Kieven Rus and mid-east/isreali culture, so I’m a tad unduly excited. (By the by, that particular letter you mentioned is my personal…[Read more]

@joy-caroline oh bother! it ate my response again, now I can’t remember hahah

Anyhow, pretty much; if it works to make it into three, then do it. I made a 6 book series because I wanted to make a story about the lives of the people in my world. I ended book 1 with a cliffhanger that is (hopefully) suspenseful and emotional, and a major moment…[Read more]

@keilah-h coolio!! Good job 🙂

@kathleenramm

For me it was that as in real life, the antagonist does not have to be a corrupt human or evil demon kind of thing; it could be anything.

Everyone has something in their life that is their ‘antagonist’, it may be a literal person being a pain in the butt, but it could be anything from financial problems to chronic pain to health…[Read more]

@lydia-s mwahahahah well… let me pull something up out of my 1000 pages of organized chaos called a series XD

hahaah my charries sound insane out of context, but I think the lines do sum them up pretty well XD

and I love that line of yours, the shotgun one. Made me laugh out loud and startle my cousin XD

Faeda Rouronon

@kathleenramm I am so late to this topic, i haven’t been on here in over two weeks lol

Well my greatest strength? whew, I am not sure; probably making new worlds and ideas with every moment I am awake and not preoccupied with life, so… endless ideas that I can use in stories? XD

Weakness…

Well, I’d say Im weak in a lot of areas, but…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 Lol.😂 Yeah, I always spoil everything to both my little sister, my big sister, and my big brother — and then pester them with feedback on any new plot developments I’ve thought of.😂

@anatra23 Yes, I’m doing a round of beta reading for it now, and then I’ll probably do another couple of editing passes, maybe one more round of beta readers, before trying to pitch it to agents. It’s 180k words, though, so I’m gonna have to be creative and precise in order to sell them on it — YA fantasy isn’t normally that long&#x1f60…[Read more]

@koshka

Thanks!

Up to the 3rd/2 and a half/beta reader draft of my first book, and the first draft of my second book. The next three books are only in my head at this stage😅

@anatra23

At least he dies late in the book? Or perhaps that makes it worse. Yes, he will be missed, but Viktor needs to be who he was made to be, and Ruben wouldn’t want to go any other way.

@lydia-s I know this is random, but I didn’t realize you had read the Green Ember etc. What is your favorite character/lines? We love Helmer and Jo Shanks.…[Read more]
