@Dragongeek good point… 😛 Just try to find a power that actually fits with the story for a reason. Don’t just go for super-speed or super-strength ‘because’. Think through what would best fit.

What era/type of names are you looking for?

@emily Star Wars good, The Hobbit, meh. I wouldn’t bother if you’re looking for something remotely similar to the book, but it makes for a good generic dark fantasy trilogy. And I love the Princess Bride, too! 😀

Aha, I don’t think I’ve seen that one. I’ve seen the 1961 version with Hayley Mills (and I only know that because I just looked it up.…[Read more]

@perfectfifths  Just checking… I know how much @emily likes that movie. Am I right, Emily? Or am I thinking of someone else?

@dekreel *high five*

@emily The fact that I haven’t seen it shouldn’t make one assume it hasn’t come to “Aussie-land” yet. 😛 I haven’t seen a lot of movies.

@dekreel It’s definitely not Princess Bride, though. 😉

@emily Pbth I don’t know, I’m terrible at movies (except Pixar)! (and a bit of Studio Ghibli) (well, and other various animated family movies lol)

Princess Bride…?

@perfectfifths YES!! Good guess! *high five*

@dekreel Toy Story!

@delightinlife  @waterlily  It is NOT Tom Sawyer! I’ll give you a hint: It’s a fairly old movie

@emily Oh, I read that Sound of Music recently, but I didn’t remember it from the actual movie (so yes, I have seen it 😉 ). And,  I don’t know what your second one is. 😛

@jane-maree @anyone else who is here 😀 HI

I’m giving Stan writing lessons tonight

@radically-surrendered I’m writing up a synopsis.

@radically-surrendered Welcome!

@Emily Thanks for the ice cream!! *waves*

*pokes head in* I LIVE.

I’ll be writing, though I probably won’t say very much as I’m a little busy today so I’ll be focusing on wording. 😀

@0-0enyali0-0 As Dekreel said, focus on the characters rather than the fight and that’ll make the scene that much better.

I can’t recommend research enough. Learn as much as you possibly can about the method of fighting that you’re using. The more you know, the easier the fight scenes will become to write.

@0-0enyali0-0 @dekreel‘s advice is very solid. Maybe if you have a fight scene that isn’t too long you could post it here for critique.
