Hm… Maybe a cloud kingdom. With caves. 😉

Louise Fowler replied to the topic Would You Rather Character Edition in the forum Characters 6 years, 10 months ago
@allison-grace Hmm… both?
@aviantrail Maybe a field.
@daeus And no question? 😛
Would your character rather have to read a story in another language with a translation dictionary, or watch a movie in another language with English subtitles (or whatever language they speak)?

Thanks for sharing your story with me, @daeus . It’s beautiful, and I enjoyed reading it very much. You should definitely publish it sometime. 🙂

@aviantrail Welcome to the bestest place in Cyberspace!!
I like your tag and profile picture!
So you’re a Star Wars fan! I like Star Wars, too, although I haven’t watched it in a long time. I have seen the new one though. And like @daeus and @that_writer_girl_99 , I also take fancy to Kylo X)
What are your favorite books, movies, and/or TV shows?

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic I need help… my character is too withdrawn in the forum Characters 6 years, 10 months ago
@Bella-D it would appear I have been summoned. Thank you @daeus. 🙂
Let me see… there are a number of potential answers to this question. The one that ended up being the answer for me isn’t so much about changing the side of the character that is reserved, brooding, and unresponsive, but about developing a second side to balance it— the one…[Read more]

Thanks everyone for the welcomes! 🙂
@clairec I’ve been writing for at least 6 or 7 years, and I am from the beautiful state of Oregon.
@aratrea There is a website called the Odyssey, which is primarily a platform for college students to share their thoughts on all sorts of subjects. My school, Corban, has its own community of writers on the…[Read more]

Lady Bella started the topic I need help… my character is too withdrawn in the forum Characters 6 years, 10 months ago
I just watched some of @daeus ‘s Show Don’t Tell Course, and am realizing that my character is way too withdrawn, broods too much (even though he recently became a Christian), and is making no new relationships with the people around him. However, I’m at a loss on how to change this. Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

High fives to all of my fellow homeschoolers!
@seekjustice I read all kinds of books, and it would be next to impossible to settle on one genre as my “favorite”. I have a few short stories, an article, and a book that I started to write… I live in the midwest, surrounded by trees, cows and rolling hills. Our puppy is an Australian Shepherd, and…[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?

Sam Kowal replied to the topic Cliches of Dystopian Novels in the forum Sci-Fi 6 years, 10 months ago
@jenwriter17 Dystopian! was actually, if I remember correctly, more like ‘utopian’ and it was all about predicting what was going to happen in the future. Prophecy, like @daeus said. And then some authors decided… what the if future isn’t going to be perfect like we think? And then there was dystopian. Modern, more YA focused dystopian sort of…[Read more]

Jenna Terese started the topic Cliches of Dystopian Novels in the forum Sci-Fi 6 years, 10 months ago
Hi, all! I know I kinda recently created a new topic asking y’all the cliches of sci-fi, but this topic is a little different. I’m thinking of writing a dystopian novel. I know this genre can be pretty heavy on the cliches, so my questions is ‘what are the cliches of this genre?’
I know the whole oppressive government thing is kinda cliche, and I…[Read more]

@daeus if you need readers still, I’m in. Like Mallory my library has been dry of anything to read.

Jenna Terese started the topic Any Advice for A Soon-To-Be Blogger? in the forum Publishing & Platform 6 years, 10 months ago
Since I’ll be self-publishing a short novella I wrote over the summer of 2017, I plan on getting an author website/blog up in the spring. I’ve done tons of research, but nothing is like advice directly from people I know who actually have a blog. What were some things that were unexpected? Challenges? Time commitment? And I’d love to know if you…[Read more]

ClaireC replied to the topic *waves manically* ;P in the forum Start HERE 6 years, 10 months ago
It means that when everyone was excited about something and *dies*ed, she gave them B-calm tablets, and she comforted those who were sick after eating too much icecream, or too many frozen rasberries. @daeus needed the most comforting.

LivGiordano replied to the topic The Diary Of Nameless in the forum Short Story Critiques 6 years, 10 months ago
I’m up for it if you still need readers, @Daeus. I know you’ve already got a lot of people, so if not, that’s totally fine.

Grace H. replied to the topic Short Story Characteristics in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 10 months ago
@livgiordano Yes, that helps! Thanks 🙂
@dragon-snapper Yeah, finding a name is so time-consuming for me. Ugh. And my story is actually realistic fiction, so the details I’m mentioned are basically describing the setting and the actions of characters. Thanks, though!

“But we have to get through.” Hannah said. Her hair was now turned into pink petals. “Can’t you open the door to let us out?”
