I’m late (this is a theme in my commenting life rn… *facepalm*), but here are a couple of my MCs’ first lines. As a side note, BRILLIANT idea.

These two say their first three lines in the same scene and to each other. First, there’s Trevor, a moody, brooding bully (cinnamon roll type guy, though he doesn’t know it at the moment). Then,…[Read more]

@abigail-m

Oh, this looks lovely! Thank you for the invite. Hopefully, I’ll be able to read it sometime soon! <33

@zatara

Welcome to the forum!

*cheers* Another pineapple pizza person, yay! And I have to agree with your assessment of Narnia vs. LOTR. Tolkien wins, hands down (He is likely the author I admire most), but I also am and forever will be a Narnia nerd. 😛

Now for the customary welcoming questions:

1) What is your favorite mythical animal?

2)…[Read more]

@akbaer

Welcome to the forum, Annika!

I wholeheartedly approve of your hobbies as I myself enjoy all three of those things! And your book choices are also wonderful (J.R.R. Tolkien is probably the writer I admire most).

Fantasy is very fun to write and to read! Have you by chance read the DragonKeeper Chronicles by Donita K. Paul? It’s a…[Read more]

@maryg3

Oh, wonderful! Til We Have Faces is super good. Ah, I see. I’ve flipped through the first book virtually, but hopefully, I’ll actually get around to reading them someday. 😉

No, I have no read that one! I’ll have to do that someday, though.

Wow, he sounds extremely well written! (And don’t worry. I’m 16 and I still enjoy flipping…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

oy vey… I don’t plan character lies… umm they sorta develop with the character, but the first one in my mind would be Brianna Hakonik;

she was kidnapped as a child and raised in a very dark place and trained as an assassin and ring fighter and with it came a lot of trauma and abuse. As you can guess she’s bitter and agg…[Read more]

@keilah-h

what scenes? I’m confused too now, if you meant which of yours, i liked both scenes!!

no it’s not weird to detail all the species! It’s good to know your characters inside and out so to speak 🙂 they all sound like you put a lot of thought into them!

And as for MCs all being boys I admit it’s my natural tendency to do that too so n…[Read more]

@AKbaer

ahh I see! Well I won’t hold that against you! What about tea?  I like regular black tea with honey and milk!

Yeah new things are sometimes like Bilbo’s description of adventures; “nasty disturbing uncomfortable things! Make you late for dinner!” But they can also lead to incredible opportunities!

Haha sounds like my parents too!

An…[Read more]

@keilah-h

i read the scene you posted and it’s very cool! I like it!

@abigail-m

Sure! I’d be glad to read it!

@godlyfantasy12 I’d say go for it!!! 🙂

@zatara

Hullo and welcome!

You like to draw? Cool. I love to paint, but sketching kind of intimidates me. What kinds of things do you draw? And if I may ask, where’d you get the idea for your ping name?

@akbaer

Hullo!

I am also quite a fan of fantasy and medieval books. Have you ever read the Ranger’s Apprentice by John Flanagan by chance? It’s defiantly top tier and fits the book description you were addressing.

Happy you’re here!

@keilah-h

and one morphing: (they’re called Death Hawks for here explained reasons)

Atheico looked shocked, “How did you find him? And how are you not dead? His father swore he’d kill anyone who came to his castle after I—”

“I didn’t find—” Mythia twitched and tried to stay still, “ I didn’t find him. He’s my friend and Lysanna sent me to hi…

@keilah-h

Thanks! i have the Serpent Children, then the Peluvaro, who morph into owls, and the Bardans, who morph into griffons. Peluvaro and Bardan blood mixed makes an odd combination; their descendants are Pelubalar, literally owl-griffon and have wings, slight scaling on the face, severe scaling on the hands, and claws on their hands. The…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Thanks! 🙂 yeah, mine are born with both abilities, but in certain events they can lose their ability to chose. For example, they can give up their gift (aka powers) to save someone, or, in extreme circumstances, can die to save someone. As you might assume, this happens very seldom.

Ahhh makes sense, especially if you do more sci fi…[Read more]

@zatara

Welcome and double high five, because I’m a pineapple on pizza person too!

I also like LoTR way better than Narnia, but Voyage of the Dawn Treader I enjoy now and again (mainly because Eustace is just a really great character, and the Duffepuds are totally hopeless and funny. Especially when they’re coming up for a name for…[Read more]

@keilah-h coolio!! I like the variety of your people!!

haha poor Flame. alas; every character must have a weakness!

yeah, Evyrett was stuck in an iron castle for the first 18 years his life with only his friend/servant/cook named Coldon, a loyal boy, but he is rather odd and Evyrett is his master, so it’s not a normal friendship. Especially…[Read more]
