@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]

@ariella-newheart

You could merge some of your characters into one. Unless of course they have to be seperate. But merging multiple characters into one could add a lot of depth to a single character. Or it could be a horrible abomination.

Just an idea.

@ariella-newheart

How many characters is needed really depends on your story. If your series is supposed to be a sprawling epic, having 30 recurring characters might be appropriate or even expected. Just a few tips that might be helpful:

1. Do not introduce too many characters all at once. This will just get confusing for readers.
2. Be clear on…

@ariella-newheart This would depend on how similar the characters are to one another, and how often they show up. If you have up to 7-10 characters that stay with the reader the entire plot, it shouldn’t be too bad, especially if you give them each distinct names and defining characteristics. As for the rest of the recurring characters, if they…[Read more]

@Ariella-newheart Oh cool! You’re exactly right I’m from Middle-Earth (or from Australia, take your pick ;P)

@ariella-newheart Oh, I had this same problem with one of my books… 🙂

Since this is a series you are writing, the easiest way to do it without confusing the readers might be to make only a few characters the important ones in each book.  If the others are background characters in one book, and then they become important characters in another…[Read more]

@ariella-newheart  Good question! I have struggled with the exact same thing in my KPA (that’s Kapeefer Adventure, sort of like the LOKD). I guess it depends on the series: How long it is, and when and where your MC(s) are traveling. If you have to put in all your recurring characters, you could either alter the characters so they fit each scene,…[Read more]

@dekreel, 😀

@ariella-newheart, We have a few animals and animal friends on here. @mariposa has a dinosaur, who I’m sure she’d love to introduce you to. 🙂

Speaking of which… @dragon-snapper, with @mariposa ‘s permission, can we have Aberdeen the Authorosarus in the LOKD?

@clairec  Oopssss…

@ariella-newheart  Page 31, not page 37

@Ariella-newheart HELLO AND WELCOME!!!

I’m too lazy to go and check out all the other questions people have asked, so I apologise if these have already been asked.

Whereabouts in the world are you from?? (America, presumably, I think most of the KeePers come from there. Still, I like to ask!)

What are some of your hobbies other than reading/writing?

@foreverme  I have not joined the Aetherlight yet, but I have been actively stalking the forums X)

@ariella-newheart  I second @clairec. You HAVE to read LOKD! It is awesome. And there’s a sequel on page 37!

@ariella-newheart, those are good suggestions of @foreverme. Writer’s Corner is one of the most practical topics here.

kingdompen.org/forums/topic/writers-corner-13/

The very first thing, though should be @dragon-snapper ‘s story, ‘The Legends of King Daeus.’ All the inside jokes will suddenly make sense!…[Read more]

Oh, forgot to answer your question about the topics @ariella-newheart *facepalm* I haven’t been around here for long, but I recommend ‘You Know You’re A Writer When . . .’ and maybe some of the Writer’s Corners? Also, ‘A Catwing Christmas’ by @catwing

@ariella-newheart Yep! XD It’s me, the old D.G.O.

@dekreel If you don’t mind my asking, have you joined the Aetherlight yet? 😀

@notawriter I’m obviously not @aislinn-mollisong (and if you wanted her answer, not mine, just ignore the sentence below) but I can tell you what the Aetherlight is! It’s a Christian computer game that retells the story…[Read more]

@Ariella-Newheart
Welcome to the Kingdom of Pen!
I hope you feel welcome here! ^.^

Do you have any hobbies besides writing?

I always like to ask what peoples WIP’s are.. But looks like King Daeus beat me to it *side glances at Daeus*
Whats Aetherlight? I’ve heard people talk about it .. *coughcough@aislinn-mollisongcough* 😀

Oh yeah cool name…[Read more]

@ariella-newheart 😀 Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet.

Stan would like to say hi. (Stan is my dragon pal.

Stan?

STAN?

(He’s shy.)

Anyway, your stories and WIPs sound really cool 😀 I’m a fantasy/some sci-fi writer as well.

Also, I love Narnia, and The Inheritance Cycle. 

Atra esterni ono thelduin 😛
