@kaya-young Hello! I am also 15, homeschooled, and have three younger siblings (also an older sister)! Do you have a favorite genre to write?

Welcome to the forum @kaya-young! I was homeschooled myself from Kindergarten through high school. Afraid I’m not familiar with Jeff Bridges. :/ What other authors do you enjoy?

Hey @aviantrail–welcome to the site! Love that Wodehouse quote in your signature! Are those short stories fan-fictions for Homer’s Odyssey, or something different?

@alia Oooh. This is a really cool question.
There are a lot of approaches you could take with this. Most importantly, I think you need to think outside the box. Maybe that means reading more widely within the fantasy genre for inspiration. It definitely means asking yourself what if questions.
One suggestion is to make God an antagonist for a…[Read more]

Hannah Olsen replied to the topic Cliche? in the forum Fantasy 8 years, 8 months ago
Personally, that has always been a favorite scene of mine, when an arrow is shot through a room with a message…especially if it is to the villain. For one, that shows the arrow was chosen to relay a message, instead of killing him/her in cold blood even though the opportunity was there.
I’m not sure if it’s exactly cliche, but it is used very…[Read more]

So, I’m writing a book were the main theme is that the “gods” of the land and their priests are holding the people in bondage, but there is a small band of rebels fighting. I’m planning on bringing in the God figure (its a fantasy story), but I don’t know how to without it feeling forced
I’m finding a it lot easier to make cruel false gods than…[Read more]

The moment in some movies where one of the characters finds a secret message wrapped around an arrow (which is shot into the room)… Is it cliche?

@jenwriter17 I love manga style! 😀 I like drawing in it, but it can be rather challenging.
Here’s an example of my most recent attempt at the manga/anime style. 🙂

@jenwriter17Â For good measure…….

I drew this one (below) for a character Xchange:

And finally, one of my absolute favorite villains of all time…

I do have better examples, I just happen to not have pictures of them 😛

@dekreel I haven’t really tried manga before. The one time I tried it, he kind of looked like a Roman monkey….
I like mine to be the most necessary lines and nothing more. Like this:

I drew that for the Leumeister a while back.

Well, I do anyway 🙂
Can I see some of your manga? 😀

@jenwriter17 Ooh boy. Pen names? Welllll…
To get ideas you could always find a name from one of your stories–whether obscure or not.
I don’t think you need your pen name to be completely random either. I mean, if you want it to be, by all means let it be. XD However, I think your name could have more significance if it had some attatchment…[Read more] - Load More
