@xonos-darkgrate *stifles laughter* Okay, I guess we can wait for the movie to come out before we judge it.

@kate-flournoy I haven’t seen their names in a while. :/
And I must say, I like Finn’s outfit. The only thing in that trailer that I wasn’t sure about was that…penguin thing. I sincerely hope he isn’t one of those really stupid comic reliefs.

@kate-flournoy Yes! And you didn’t see Ray with Fin either. 😉 Fin was off with the rebellion, right where he belonged. *big happy smile* Good ‘ole Fin. That mechanic sounds just right for him.

Sorry, I was being dramatic there.
Let me put this in cool, rational terms. This is the best thing since The Count of Monte Cristo. 🙂

@kate-flournoy Haha! I’m a mind reader too now. 😀
@bethanysinkyroses First, I think the Yellowstone setting could work. As far as the plot goes, my suggestion would be to make it a “back and forth” plot. What I mean is, have two distinct spheres for your story: one, the sphere of the MC’s interaction with her mother; the other, the sphere of…[Read more]

She can be a stereotype on the outside without being one on the inside. If she isn’t a POV character, maybe she could have someone she can confide in.

@bethanysinkyroses I’d agree with what Mark and Kate said. You’ve got a setting, but you don’t have any sort of plot. Predicaments alone are very boring. The predicaments need to build on each other. The outcome of one should lead to another, gradually making things worse and worse.
I also agree that clashing fantasy and slice of life isn’t a…[Read more]

@xonos-darkgrate I totally love that guy. Rogue One wasn’t my favorite movie, but the villain wins big awesomeness points imo.

Okay! I think I’ve got it now. I still want to come up with a dramatic tagline, but the rest of it’s done. What do you think?
Trevor is in a mess. After traveling back in time, he and his sister get trapped in medieval England where a mad scientist rules the country with technology and terror. As war brews, Trevor gets the chance to prove his…[Read more]

@raevynstar Confidence is key. A good spoiled brat sees the world in black and white. Their confidence in themselves is unflinching and they don’t consider other ways of looking at things. Such firmness inspires respect, even in fools.
Don’t know if that fits your character, but it’s one thing that works really well.

@jess-penrose We call them both.
@josiahdeboer You don’t need to have read the book. Just tell me your gut feelings. Most people, after all, do read a synopsis before they read the book.

Daeus replied to the topic Synopsis Help in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 7 years, 1 month ago
@everybody Thanks for the feedback! I suppose I’ll tweak some of the wording then get back to you.
@dragon-snapper Both, of course. 🙂
@xonos-darkgrate There are some plot twists, yes, but the story doesn’t stand on its unusual premise. It stands much more on its psychological depth. And, certainly! Go ahead and reword it.

@xonos-darkgrate I’m sure it would. It would be cool to give a bad guy a subplot too.
