@Dekreel Coolio! Biographies are pretty neat; have you ever read any about missionaries? Some of those people have epic lives…

@Daeus Well this is cool.
I have one thought to add to the whole diary debate thing… If the character only lives when he’s being written, how can he keep a diary? When does he have the time for that?
And I’ll have you know that this story has ruined my life. I’ve spent the last day or so pondering the fact that the ‘Hero’ isn’t actually the…[Read more]

@Jess I (obviously) concur with what they all said, but I’d like to add a side note to Daeus’ point: If the world is better off than it was before, even if (and possibly because) the protagonist didn’t get what she wanted, than at least a small victory has been achieved, no matter the personal cost to the MC. The reader will recognize this and be…[Read more]

Hi, @dekreel 😀
Is your profile picture from anything in particular? It reminds me of a Redwall character.

@jess What Kate said. Basically, either the loss your character experiences needs to be necessary for them to become a better person or the ending is just plain tragic, but a side character learns something valuable from it and the readers are left with a lot of hope for that side character.

Hi @jess! Nice to see you again. 😉
I don’t have too much to say about this, but I will lend you one thought: life isn’t always happy. What I mean by that is, we might like to think that happy endings lie around every corner, but that isn’t always true. Sometimes it’s the exact opposite.
What does this mean for you? It might mean that you need…[Read more]

Content. No language. No sex. Violence: a general description of Aztec sacrifices. Description is not graphic, but if just the idea of human sacrifices makes you sick, then you could have problems with it. One guy has a vision in which he is lacerating himself, though there is not a lot of detail in that part.Otherwise, this book…[Read more]

@salome01w4g I don’t have a maximum deadline. A week is just my preferred deadline. Within two weeks is not unreasonable to me. However, if I happen to get a lot of volunteers, I would naturally prefer those who can get it done within a week.

@perfectfifths I don’t have an exact deadline, but if anyone could do it in about a week, that would be optimal.

Mornin Gents and Gentesses,
I wrote a short story recently that I’d like to find some beta readers for.
It’s a slice of life story as well as inspiration fiction in the broad sense of the term and kiiindaa romance, depending on how you look at it.
Its length is 8,900 words.
Let me know if you are interested. 🙂

Yes! It’s the one you and I were talking about, with our kingdom names. Mine takes place in the land of Allora. @catwing
It’s a coming of age story, about a young princess who has to find her place in the kingdom’s two realms.
