@sam-kowal Welcome to the site! Sounds like we have a lot of the same favorite authors between Sanderson and Austen, among others. 🙂

@emily Yeah; unfortunately I don’t have enough web coding knowledge for that. 😛 Those kinds of features will have to wait until we can bring a legit web designer onto our team.

@salome01w4g Yay good on you! See you in the future. 😀

@SeekJustice I second what Kate said. If you’ve just had a passionate speech you can easily play off that with having someone in the crowd disagree and start throwing things, or agree and start throwing things. Mob mentality is a huge thing in situations like that so it’s not hard at all really.

@SeekJustice haha yes I have joined you. XD

@salome01w4g Heyy! *waves* Sounds like fun. 🙂

@SeekJustice @salome01w4g I haven’t said anything here for a while, but I have been writing. I now will officially drop in (just so you all know I’m still alive. xP) and do some writing with you two! 😀

@salome01w4g So long! I only wrote 257, but, hey! It’s the evil first chapter and I’m a bit out of practice.

@salome01w4g I’m working on the first chapter of my fantasy trilogy. 🙂

@salome01w4g Hey, I’ll join you for half an hour!

@princessfoo Gotcha. 😉 I did think that sounded a little too isolated. 😛

The nice thing if you have access to your character’s head is that it will make it easier to write subtle stuff because you’ve got the character’s internal monologue to add to the equation.

@princessfoo Kapow! Wikipedia probably has a better answer than I do. At least I hope so. I didn’t actually read the article. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flirting

Btw, do you have The Emotion Thesaurus? If so, look up “love” in there.

@princessfoo You heard of the name before or you’ve heard of the principle?

Well, you the goal is to keep your characters from reacting with the same emotion your reader will react with. So if your reader is probably going to laugh at a joke, none of your characters should react to the joke in any hysterical way. If your reader is going to feel…[Read more]

@sam-kowal Seriously? You’re an ENFJ? AWESOME! More ENFJs is always a good thing.

@sam-kowal Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet!

I like your dragon too. 🙂

And definitely Brandon Sanderson. I just finished his Mistborn trilogy recently. Really good.

Some of my favorite stories? (not necessarily in order) The Count Of Monte Cristo, Dreamlander, A tale of two cities, cry the beloved country, crime and…[Read more]

@aislinn-mollisong Ooh I really like this!! Good job. 😀

Welcome @sam-kowal!!! *throws confetti* I am Jane, Aussie, and adventurer. *bows and hands you pizza* I also like pizza. Welcome to the forum, and I hope you enjoy your stay!!

Do you have a favourite author?

@Daeus much better! I haven’t got anything else to note about that. 😀 *thumbs up*

@ethryndal To be honest, even though I’m not the most active forum member, it seems like you’ve been around for a lot longer than that. 🙂 So glad to hear about how much this forum has helped you in your writing life!

@lifeofkatie I think I’ve got it fixed.

@lifeofkatie On the button?

@perfectfifths. Hmm. I just noticed one day that it was true because…I noticed it.

@dragon-snapper

The thing I don’t like about romances is that they are fake. They make them too emotional. People aren’t like that.

They are so totally fake, but I don’t actually think people are any less emotional. They’re just less cheesy about it. ……[Read more]
