@denali-christianson Yes.

UhhhhhhhHHHHHHHH I know @e-k-seaver and @daisy-torres have made book trailers before. If I were you, and had zero budget and wanted to make live action, then I would use like a free stock video site like this one: https://mazwai.com/#/grid (I’ve seen one of my favorite artists make a lot of beautiful music videos using…[Read more]

I know, right? There is such a difference. It’s really funny now, though, because I’m like,” Wow, I thought that was an insult, but now I see it’s a compliment that is of all things good for story prompts.

Yeah, I have to be careful what and how much I read. My sister and I literally spread LoTR over a year because of all…[Read more]

@denali-christianson *yeets off to Story Embers forum to do some stalking*

*yeets back*

Yep.

Called it.

@denali-christianson I think I’ve given up on worldbuilding at this stage in life, for all my projects now it’s either like, “What generally fits the vibe of this story” if it’s something short or casual, or, “What would make sense in the story and help me achieve the goals of my plot/character arcs/themes” if I’m being serious and hardworking, or…[Read more]

Lol yes, the race is going to be able to smell light! I may have their most common defect as an allergy to a certain colour…. Although It may be difficult with both that and their colourblindness. However, the colour allergy is a non-negotiable idea, so it’s going into my world somewhere!

Lol I have seen about 3 episodes…[Read more]

@denali-christianson

Ah, fantasy. I will admit, magical fantasy isn’t my strong suit, as I can find it to be to engrossing (and I’m waayy too much into history to keep my hands out of medieval fantasy, which is technically my genre.). But I love Narnia and have enjoyed LotR.

That is a hilarious question, mainly because, before I read t…[Read more]

@denali-christianson OH COOL!! I’ll just have them have to find each other!! HAHAHA I AL DIABOLICAL!!!

@Denali-christianson You don’t have to add other skin tones etc. if, say, all of the characters in the story come from the same place. Look at how the world is separated. Yes, in America and a bunch of other places there’s mixed ethnicity all over the place, but for the longest time the light-skinned people were mostly concentrated in Europe,…[Read more]

@denali-christianson

ONLY ONE?! What about 2?!

my 2 charries hardly go anywhere without each other 🤣 (mainly cuz the one is crazy in love with the other (best friends to lovers FOREVER) and the others totally oblivious (girl srsly open ur eyes, my guy loves you…)

buuut in that case I guess until it’s opened up for more charries I can hav…[Read more]

@denali-christianson Trust me, he doesn’t deserve it. I mean, if he becomes a good guy later in the show (which is extremely unlikely) I’ll be like “That guy? Really?” but maybe I’ll forgive him a little. He’s just…Selfish. And he left his most loyal follower/lackey to die, and then NOT AN HOUR AFTERWARD destroyed the city the aforementioned…[Read more]

@denali-christianson All righty then! Also, sad for who? Him or me?

@denali-christianson

Ahh, see then? You are fine my dear. *pats head* NOW BE OFF ON YOUR DARING QUEST!!! *swings out on rope like Tarzan.*

@denali-christianson Lolol precisely why I write, so I can put some new things out onto the market.

Heh it’s okay I stopped because I graduated :3 You should savor your high school activities while you can

Haha this is the first time I’ve like met people who’ve enjoyed my writing online. And now I’m resisting the urge to plug a self-promo.…[Read more]

@denali-christianson

LOL YOU’RE WELCOME XD Haha I literally felt that XD I’m only good at fantasy language  and LATIN I’VE LEARNED LATIN AND I LOVE IT lol I should try to learn some others…

Eh.

I’ll stick to Elvish.

I’m not good at anything besides English and Latin, and the language I’m trying to make up but is unfortunately for a different…[Read more]

@denali-christianson

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! That is actually pretty amazing. (I WISH I HAD THE SKILL TO MATCH MY LANGUAGE OBSESSION, but I’m the sort of person who’d love to learn all the languages in the world, but can’t because I just can’t learn any languages. 😭 I have learned Latin, and I know English, but besides that what I know is…[Read more]

@denali-christianson

This looks fun….  (And I guess it’s role-play styled.)

Oh, hi! It’s good to meet you, I’m called Elishavet around here, and I mostly write fantasy, but Essays, Poetry, and Other Random Things are not unusual.

But, I’m not the one visiting this castle; it’s one of the many characters I am responsible for.

Meet Viktor…[Read more]

ALSO, even if it wasn’t fantasy, diversity would range outside of skin tone. It could be culture, and some people are African American, chinese American, etc but because they may have a father who is Caucasian, they are Caucasian (this in itself can actually be a struggle for them! Think about how they must feel not knowing w…[Read more]

@denali-christianson

if it makes u feel any better….all my MCs are white too…except one. Who is an animal so that doesn’t really count XD.

BUT that being said it wasn’t done purposely and I almost changed the skin tone of one for the purpose of diversity and it didn’t work because I already had the idea of how I liked them in my mind.

pl…[Read more]

@denali-christianson

YES, the Silmarillion is awesome!! We needed this thread!

It’s been a whileee since I read it last, so let’s see how much I remember XD

Hmmm… one of my favorite parts is the beginning when all the Valar are introduced (I’m not even sure if I spelled that right). It lays such a cool foundation for the rest of the book! B…[Read more]

@denali-christianson

Awesome!! I’ll go over when I get to reading The Silm after the other book I’m working on. 🙂 It was AWFUL. Especially because I love reading so much, and there was so much I wanted to read, I just literally couldn’t pick up a book and read it, except when I really had to, like for school. I WILL!!!! We. Will. Rant.

I’d…[Read more]
