Hi @keilah-h

Ooh hard choice! My initial thought would be killing off the captain, because it seems most similar to the HTTYD death. If the brother of the MC is younger, I would definitely say don’t kill him, but if he’s older, it could still work to kill him off, because both the captain and older brother are kind of in leadership pos…[Read more]

Wow nice!

Ahh I have to choose Halt, because I always have a soft spot for a good mentor figure! What about you?

A Tale of Two Cities is harder….I really like all the main characters, but of course, Sydney is pretty great, so he might have to be my favorite!

Thank you for explaining 😀 I think I’m slowly figuring out the tag…[Read more]

Hi guys! Not sure if this is the right place to put this question, but if anyone wants to help worldbuild a little?

I have this magic object, and I already know what it does and how it operates, but I’m stuck with how to describe it. I need something that symbolizes going against nature in a kind of e…[Read more]

Ooh your Alastair brothers book sounds cool! It gives me house Madrigal vibes from Encanto, if you’ve ever watched it🤣

Also, what was your inspiration for the name “Alastair”? I’m asking because I have a side character named Banistair and I love BOTH of those names!

Wow, hello! I don’t think I’ve ever joined a club like this before!

….but one question before my initiation:

Are you sure it’s mongooses, and not monGEESE??

Ok, the current book I’m writing is basically the introduction to a series that explores the idea of wanting too much power—and what happens if you actually get it…

The inspiration behind the series kind of came from a random thought: almost all villains in books or movies are trying to either gain power, money, or immor…[Read more]

So excited to finally join! I’m a teen who’s been into writing for years, and I’m currently editing one of my manuscripts to hopefully publish in a few months!

I take a lot of inspiration from people like Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, as well as more modern fantasy authors, like Andrew Peterson and Stephanie Garber!

My mission is to wr…[Read more]
