I think themes for Eirtan are Selfless Servanthood, The Power Of Truth, God’s Strength in Our Weakness, Identity, and Mantles/Passing of Burdens.
Yeah, it’s still in the building stage.

I’m trying to solidify my main characters.
Victor/Amichai: needs a better character arc, lie, and, well, I’m still not sure if he’s my MC.
Alyona: needs a purpose. WHO IS SHE SUPPOSED TO BE?
Reuben: does he die or not? Why does he die if he does?
Aethelthryth: needs a struggle, purpose, a calling. I’m still trying to work…[Read more]

Hello to you too! School, ugh.
What church did you quiz with, if you don’t mind my asking?
Oh the desperate struggle to inscribe one’s ideas…*sigh*
Warning: if I start talking about my books I may not be well able to cease.
Thank you, I try! XD. Heart of Gold Heart of Stone is my completest WIP, so I enjoy working over it…[Read more]

I watched the SAO anime series up to the end of the Gungale arc. My cousin kinda got sick of cutting so much stuff at that point, fair enough😂.
Yeah, my brother loves Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. He says it’s like one of his favourite animes, and perhaps the best anime he’s ever seen. He once found a meme he who…[Read more]

Hmm, It sounds good. Personally, sacrifice is one of my favorite themes, along with strength in weakness, redemption, and loyalty. Cats are hilariously wonderful, and have fun with the name!
Welcome, anytime. 😉

I did a little Violet Evergarden fan art but I’m not very good. What kind of fan art do you do?
@devastate-lasting @trahia-the-minstrel
Thanks for the suggestions and the heads up.
Yea, JJK is pretty gory at some points. But the art is (thankfully) not too realistic when it comes to those things, and the violence fits the characters…[Read more]

Yay! You started it!
- I’ve watched Snow White with the Red Hair (my fave)(all of these were subbed except SAO and Arslan, btw😂 I mostly can’t stand dubbed)
- The Royal Tutor
- The Heroic Legend of Arslan
- Toradora!
- Sword Art Online (heavily edited to make it PG)
- Your Name (favourite anime movie ever!)
- Violet EvergardenÂ

Um… Who’s your main character(s), what’s their struggle, how do you think they will grow, and how do you plan to make your WIP wholesome/lasting.
Ok, a few random questions…
Do you have important/new animals in any WIP?

Yea, I’ve been hearing a lot about Haikiyu. I also heard the dub(English voice over) is amazing.
Do you prefer to watch it subbed or dubbed?Happy to oblige in anime conversation ^-^
Wow, you’ve seen a lot.
I enjoyed Your Name quite a bit, and I’ve been suggested Her Blue Sky before. But I don’t recognize many…[Read more] -

Hullo!
@trahia-the-minstrel and I were nerding over anime. I love anime, but there were somehow no anime threads. So here’s one for whoever’s into anime/manga.
I haven’t read a lot of manga, but my brother’s gotten me into the anime hole. And, at the moment, I have no intention of climbing out just yet XD
What anime have you all seen?

Despite not having read Ingleside (I have only read the first Anne of Green Gables book) I thoroughly related to your frustrations in your post.
One of my pet peeves in books are characters who makes dumb decisions simply for plot convenience. Don’t get me wrong, I’m totally fine with characters who make mistakes, but the…[Read more]

Hey, guys!! Let me know if you’re joining NANO this year and drop me your usernames!!
This will be my first year to actually ‘try’ try. I dabbled in it one other year, but didn’t get past the first week XD Why does it have to be during one of the craziest months of the year??

@kathleenramm @elfwing @devastate-lasting @jodi-maile @keilah-h @anyoneiforgotinthisthread
I am consistently writing a fantasy series that has two main POVs, who are are equal main characters. Occasionally I will have one off chapters or scenes in another of the main characters’ section POVs, but only when it’s absolutely necessary.

Okay! Hi! I’ve made this topic so we can all put up the premises of our WIPs or anything else we’ve worked on in the last or are thinking of working on in the future. Hopefully we can all enjoy a huge nerd with each other about all our stories!😊
Here’s the premise I’m working on for my current novel:

Sorry I’ve been so terrible at being on the forum!
@kathleenramm The premise of my story is a little shaky right now, but it’s about a boy who gets thrown back in time (from the future to now) and who has to find his way home (at the most basic level).
@devastate-lasting I wish I had tips to give you… I’m just a baby sci-fi writer myself. …[Read more]

Hey everyone! Keilah here. I’m currently worldbuilding on a dystopian/sci-fi/fantasy world, and I’d like your feedback on it!
The premise I have so far (for the first book anyway, I might make it a series):
Torrent Starcatcher has had a hard life.
She was born into a universe in turmoil; the violent dictator Indy has been in control since before…
