@destiny Oh, my goodness!  I completely forgot about that wonderful book!  “Kerplink, kerplank, kerplunk!” is so much fun!  Soooo, that book title is crossed of my list.  Thanks! 😀

As for your characters…

Character 1: I created the names Lurnaz and Landke Gabis, and because they have the hard “s” sound like Paradaisia I think they could wor…[Read more]

@rochellaine  *shill voice* I AM NOT! Look at this tail! Does it look like a wolf’s tail to you?!

*whimpers* Don’t… make me… disappear…

hey! I’m reading Cry, the Beloved Country for school right now. anyone wanna join me?

@dekreel I have never scratched walls in ecstasy, but I can understand a wolf feeling the need to do so.

(Because, my dear, you are technically a wolf.)

Hi @destiny Your post isn’t showing up, so I’m reposting after copying it from my email:

I have a few characters that I need help naming for one of my fantasy series…

Well, technically I have two entire armies of nameless characters for this se…

@aedesia  WELCOME, my dear cousin, to the bestest place in Cyberspace!! *scratches walls in ecstacy* 😀

@rochellaine  Technically that’s what she doing: introducing herself. Just in the wrong……. Yeah *sheepish grin*

@aedesia Hi! Welcome!  You should introduce yourself in the “Start Here” section of the forum so we can get to know you. 😀

If you want us to help critique your short story, could you post a shareable link to it in a google document?  If you don’t know how, I can explain, or you can probably google it to get the information.

When you’re ready f…[Read more]

@warrenluther04 Usually when people want beta-readers here on KP they post a link to a google doc in the “Novel Critique” or “Short Story Critique” sections of the forum, then tag some people and ask them to look it over.  Sometimes we ask for comments directly in the comments section of the google document (In that case you have to “allow…[Read more]

@skredder By the way, how would you get someone to beta-read a story? Is it just what you did, posting the link of the Google Doc onto the forum? Or would you give certain people Comment Only access? I have a story that I’d like advice on, so would that count as a beta-read? Sorry for the random question…

@that_writer_girl_99  Ooh, boy. Let’s try this…

Here is a little tactic for writing a compelling, and non-cliche fantasy story: Diversify your world. By all means include dragons, elves, knights, old parchments and/or a mentor or two — because those are AWESOME. But imagine how much more awesome your world would be if you added a unique…[Read more]

@that_writer_girl_99 Yes, it’ll make sense in the story. I’m actually planning on posting it in the forum (possibly this one), but I need to figure out how to get the link. Thanks for the advice!

@ariella-newheart you’ve got some good advice from the other kapeefers.:)

personally, I think 30 characters might be a lot for a reader to keep straight in their mind, even if it is a series and stretched out over multiple books. maybe see if any characters could be combined.

on K. M. Weiland’s website, she has a couple posts about this.…[Read more]

@christianna-hellwig  Greetings, and welcome to the bestistest place on the internet! (Or as I like to call it: The bestest place in Cyberspace) 😀

Ooh, music! I really want to learn violin. I can play cajon pretty well, and I can play “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” and “The Imperial March” on the piano X)

I’m glad you have decided to join us!…[Read more]

@ariella-newheart
Cool! I like to draw too 😀 Also mostly pencil, though watercolors and markers are pretty cool.
I actually wondered if you drew your profile picture. It looks cool! Is it supposed to be one of your characters? Or just a random lady. (I draw a lot of random ladies 🙂 .. )

Sewing is pretty cool too! I don’t sew but I think it…[Read more]

Whoops @rochellaine haha

@rochelaine I agree with kayayoung and jenwriter! They have the right idea 🙂 Just try to get his name in there asap without spoiling the classy intro. 😉

* any questions! Not and questions.. *facepalm*

@ariella-newheart
Personally I would say yes… Though this might just be a matter of opinion.. Might I suggest trying to combine a few of the characters into one? That could cut out a good chunk. You’d just have to figure out what parts of them are relevant or important to the story and figure out how to take that and put that into a different…[Read more]
