@GracieGirl Coolness.

YES I love Mere Christianity. *flails* I’m glad you’re reading it. Have you read The Screwtape Letters too?
I’m reading a true WWII rescue account called The Forgotten 500 right now. It’s pretty cool. In the fiction realm, one of the things I’ve read recently which I liked quite a bit was the Mysterious Benedict Society…[Read more]

@aviantrail  Oh, and here you can find a chart of the Doctor Who seasons overall. It’s under “Series overview”

And here is a list of the names of all the Doctors since the chart only gives you their ordinal number:

• First Doctor — William Hartnell
• Second Doctor — Patrick Troughton
• Third Doctor — Jon Pertwee   (recommended for c…

@aviantrail  Ohh… So Doctor Who has been going on for 50+ years, with a break in between. There is the “classic era” (1963-1989) and the “revived era” (2005-present).

I would highly recommend the classic era because it’s generally easier to follow and understand than the revived era. I think in terms of actors who have played the Doctor more…[Read more]

@Aviantrail Welcome to KP! That’s cool you’re Captain America. He’s an ISFJ too. 😉 And also, *whispers* you definitely should read more of the Scarlet Pimpernel books.

@Kaya-Young Welcome to KP, and I adore your signature. ‘I adore spontaneity, providing it is carefully planned.’  Perfect.

@sarah-anson  I know the difference between manga and anime

But seriously, you should animate your drawings, and make an anime show!!

@perfectfifths  I draw the head first, then I do a “nude sketch” of the body and posture (obviously undetailed), and then do the clothing form there.

@rochellaine I also like Devan a lot.  Thanks for the input.  (Oh, and Larik is a great name, by the way, @daughteroftheking, but I don’t feel like it suits my character. 😉 )

@rochellaine I’ve never thought about this before. I’ve always just had the chapter breaks right from the start. I assumed that’s how everyone did it. I suppose it’s not a big deal, but it does work well for me how I do it. It helps me plan chapter breaks well and gives me an added sense of completion when I finish a chapter.

*stalks this topic*

@rochellaine  That’s a very good point.  *smacks face*

He is fifteen years old.  He is mischievous, bold, and reckless, often does things without thinking.  He can fight his own battles, but tries to do too much on his own (he’s slightly arrogant).

Appearance: windswept brown hair, dull green eyes, average height.

@daughteroftheking  Yes, she is fun to write!  😉

@mariposa  Shweet!

@dekreel @rochellaine @kaya-young @his-instrument

Okay, so this isn’t exactly on topic, but I’m trying to name a guy character and need some ideas.  What I have so far:  Arian, Bryson, Corban, Devan, Crew

I’m having such a hard time choosing.  So, please either vote on which of the above names you like best or use your wonderfully creative mi…[Read more]

@aviantrail Hm… Ick… Maybe porridge…

@catwing  Whoa. DUN DUN DUNNN. I didn’t expect the frog to be….. even with the extension cord! ARGH!

Our Aethasians are: @aislinn-mollisong  @lady-iliara  @0-0enyali0-0  @xonos-darkgrate  @foreverme  @silverclaw-bonnetfolly  @destiny

There might be one or two others. Not sure 🙂

@sarah-anson  Ohh, those are SO cool!! you should do an amine X)

@that_writer_girl_99 Wash pets

@notawriter Lose memory

@naomijackson He already has superpowers, and so do his closest friends (except one), so… 😉

@skredder Glass door. That sounds like something he’d do anyway. XD

@daughteroftheking 7 1/2 feet tall.

@dekreel Song they hate for three days.

@alia On the run with an ally for three…[Read more]

These are all really great, guys!

I have a question for everyone in general. When you draw your manga characters, what is your process?

I typically draw a “dummy,” basically a form that looks like a naked mannequin (with no detail, just the body shape) in the pose I want, then I add the clothes over that, which I find helps let the “fabric” fall…[Read more]

@mnvalentine It depends a bit on what you consider “action”. If action is battles and desperate plots, no novel actually needs those and you can bring them in at any point in your story. If action to you means confrontation, which I think is a good synonym, perhaps you do need the action to come in earlier, though it depends on how long your book…[Read more]

@WarrioroftheRealm Well, looks like I’m contradicting everyone else on this topic, but… my first thought was yes, absolutely. 😛 It’s undoubtedly cliche. There are ALWAYS exceptions, which several of the worthy responders above have pointed out, but in general, just thinking of that kind of scene, yes, I find it cliche.
