I like your story idea!
Some things I’m curious about:Is there anything wrong with the culture apart from the separation of East and West? Most dystopian books take an ideology and follow it almost like a slippery slope all the way to its worst outcome. So what is the issue so deeply ingrained in your society that L…[Read more]

I’m really curious about the connection between November and Corvina. What is it? How did it form?
Vesper
Corvina came to an abrupt halt. Him and his weird analogies… why couldn’t he grasp that fish? He groaned and tried to hide his face with his palm.
“Well, okay then.” He could feel her eyes roll.
“I mean, not a real fish,”…[Read more]

Vesper
He furrowed his brows. She was hiding something. Her talent in deflection and avoidance was… astonishing. If he hadn’t grown up needing to discern the truth in matters of life and death, he would have believed her.
“And when you find this person?” His question faded to a near whisper. He almost didn’t want to know the…[Read more]

Vesper
Corvina scowled. “I really don’t see how that’s any of your business.”
“Okay, fair. I’m just… curious.” He shrugged, trying to throw the malice that her glare piled on top of him.
She groaned, then did a sort of half-smile. “Alright,” she said, finally breaking the lingering silence. “Tell ya what. I’ll tell you why I’m…[Read more]

You know what, things are going to be fun with Vesper and Corvina.
Vesper
Something was wrong with Corvina. Her fists clenched and unclenched and she turned around, gazing at empty space. She swallowed, her fingers tracing invisible patterns in the air at her sides, causing nearby shadows to dance. She huffed, her eyes squeezed…[Read more]

By the way, Vesper is about eighteenish.
Vesper
Corvina was behaving erratically. Some sort of internal conflict…?
“As if,” she muttered.
“Um, sorry?”
Corvina spun around and the light disappeared, seemingly swallowed by thick shadows. Coming from Corvina. Vesper cried out at the sudden change.The blackness…[Read more]

Sorry it’s been so long. Life is crazy. By the way, happy Thanksgiving!
From what I understand, Corvina has left Viola and Hans.
Vesper
He stood there for a moment, weighing his options. Hans and Viola were still stalking the same group of people— he still didn’t understand why they were stalking the group…[Read more]

Vesper
So one was a Hydra agent, whatever that meant, one was a loud oaf, and one was a mystery. That cleared things up a lot.
“Hello there, little girl.” The one called Viola waved. Vesper turned and followed Viola’s gaze to a small girl with hair so bright it almost shone with a light of its own. She looke…[Read more]

Vesper
The black-haired one and the man did not look too friendly.
“Hello there. Who are you?” The other woman asked.
A failure. A disappointment. “Vesper of the Silver River, Crown Prince of Ulmire, Knight of Eudor, and Paladin of the Golden Blade.” Oof. That was a mouthful. “It was I who slew the Great Ser…[Read more]

ET replied to the topic Character Playlists in the forum Music 4 years ago
I don’t really do character playlists, but I do listen to a lot of music that makes me think. “This fits this moment perfectly!”… even if I haven’t written that particular scene yet.
If I even write a scene with impending doom, Tchaikovsky’s Marche Slav is a pretty good fit. (Especially the opening)

ET started the topic Video Editing in the forum Film 4 years ago
Hello there!
Does anyone have any experience with video editing? Namely DaVinci Resolve?
This past weekend I did a cinematography workshop, and now I am ready to edit the short film, so any tips and knowledge will be welcome.

Vesper
He stumbled down the hall, officially lost. Perhaps in more ways than one. He grimaced as pain shot up his leg. Great. Just great.
His ear pricked. What was that? A snuffling… muttering.. boar? He followed the sound. Hidden among shadows were three—well, shadowy—figures. He paused. Should he turn aroun…[Read more]

I have a character who could meet Hans and Viola. His name is Vesper. Where are Hans and Viola right now?

Your sci-fi sounds cool! It would be interesting writing characters that are cells. I had never thought of that!
My sci-fi is set in space in the future. The big premise is that after humanity developed super advance space flight and terraforming technology, pretty much everyone left Earth. Now, hundreds of years later, no one…[Read more]

I only know that a hurricane hit Nova Scotia because a friend’s mom was there, otherwise I am usually completely oblivious to the weather in the east.
You would think, living on the Ring of Fire, that we would have natural disasters, but there hasn’t even been an earthquake in years. There’s been flooding, forest fires, rain……[Read more]

I know Vesper won’t likely be in this group (due to its size), but he has some family issues too. Let’s see… his mother is mad, and his father is evil (it’s a bit more complicated than that, but I’m trying to keep it simple here). Vesper was always trying to prove himself to his father, but not measuring up. His father had been…[Read more]

Oh, ok. The one that hit Nova Scotia began with an H, I think. (Not that I would know much about hurricanes, being a north-west girl) We get wind and rain on the Island, but no hurricanes.
