@northerner Yes! I was thinking stepladder, but that’s close enough to stairs! XD

@emily I’m not really worried about 2nd person being too hard. My main question is whether it would be too weird for someone to read a mystery only to find out that they are the criminal. 😉

@Catwing aha! Thank you. Much in your debt. 🙂

@daeus It sounds really interesting. The only experience I have with second-person is Choose Your Own Adventure stories.

@catwing oookayyyy… XD No idea what you just did, but thank you just the same.

@daeus I really like it, I don’t think it necessarily needs anything else. But if you really want something, the thing that comes to mind when you something ominous is (having read some of your story) the image of the goddess the main character keeps thinking of. Though I’m not sure where, or if it would be too in-your-face if you did that.

Daniel’s rank is Bumbling Henchman? Am I the only one who finds this laughable?

@daughteroftheking “Anything with step in front of it is evil” — Okay, now I want a fairy tale with a) an evil set of stairs, or b) a set of stairs which grumbles about everyone assuming it’s evil (it’s not) because it’s made of steps.

@princessfoo I have a story-in-waiting where the princess goes ahead with the arranged marriage to the prince…[Read more]

@daughteroftheking @cloudy Wow guys, don’t faint on my account. You are so sweet though.

@Ethryndal I guess I automatically assume that the guy will get the girl (or the girl will get the guy, whatever) so it would be a sort of unique twist to make it that they didn’t end up together in the end.

Personally I love it when fairy tale retellings are done in completely different genres. Like a steampunk beauty and the beast or a sci fi…[Read more]

@ck4always I can try to help with some small things. Next month will be really busy for me (I’m crazy enough to try NaNoWriMo for the first time!), but I’d love to help where I can! 🙂

@Daeus it’s pretty cool! You could make the shadows a little heavier which would be a very subtle ominous layer, or add a little shading to the white around the whole picture. Not sure though.

@ethryndal The things that came to my mind were…

Sparkles. Lots of sparkles.
Singing. Everybody singing.
A princess with a beautiful crown in a large, elegant castle.
Fairies taking care of the crops, the plants and the animals.
Color, optimism and joy all around.

Basically every little girl’s dreams come true

@ethryndal You have a great question. I’ve been wondering the same things lately. What I personally expect in a fairytale are knights and castles, princes and princesses, magical objects, enchanted places or things, and fantastical creatures. Probably someone in distress, and cruel stepfamily. Also objects or events occurring in threes, sevens,…[Read more]

*pokes head in* Was I aware of the 10th Writers Corner being created? *tries to remember* Huh. Oh well, I’ll be using it when I write Wednesday.

@salome01w4g @catwing @daughteroftheking @catwing Awwwwww you guys are so sweet. I’m actually self-taught. 7-year-old me loved How to Draw books and it’s sort of developed into my own weird, no single style kind of art. I wish I had more time for long projects though, those 15, 20-minute ink sketches aren’t quite satisfying me 🙂 I want to pull…[Read more]

@Daeus wow. You’re right. That price is insane. 😛

I dunno, @daeus, but I think it looks fine as-is. The cover is really neat–and I mean that both literally and figuratively.
