First of all, do the good guys just need to see the villain to know what he looks like, or do they need to interact with him through something like conversation or combat? Do they need to know that he is the villain, could they have no idea who he is, or could they be deceived into thinking he is someone he isn’t?

@WarrioroftheRealm hm… let me see. My first idea was, is there any way the villain could have a motive for meeting them without revealing who he is? Maybe he could go and seek them out for that reason (is he curious? Afraid? Daring? Arrogant?) and meet them as a simple traveler, and things escalate from there.
Or maybe he needs to ship something…[Read more]

@aella This is becoming the busiest point of my year, so I haven’t been able to get to NaNo yet, but I should have a lot more time starting at the twentieth, so I’ll just do what I can now and pick back up then and try to get 25,000 words.

@kate-flournoy Hmm… I like it. I’m very busy now, but I just might see if I can fit that in.

@Daeus I think @Spradlin is rubbing off on you. XD

@Hope lovely. *grins*

Daeus, you should make that the beginning of a satirical piece mashing a ton of different genres together and bending cliches into complete un-recognition.

*Many thumbs up*

*smacks forehead* I forgot. Thanks to the dragoness for indirectly reminding me. @sierra-r Having entered the realm of the pen, you are hereby to receive a cloak.

*Hands you cloak* Happy sneaking around on the forum. This will help you if you ever want to remain unnoticed.

@Emma-Flournoy yessssssssss. that. so. much. that.

Oh wait, you’re my sister, you knew I liked that one… 😛

Have a link, guys.

@Anne-of-Lothlorien yes! Proof of Your Love, For the Dancing and the Dreaming, all the Piano Guys’ songs (check out Arwen’s Vigil.) and Edge of Night— I can’t even sing that without getting chills. 😀

A newfound favorite of mine that actually reads more like a hymn than anything else is this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMH0UwzlUL4

@Anne-of-Lothlorien no, I haven’t. He sounds really good though. Is it high fantasy (epic) or heroic fantasy (personal)? Or a mix? LotR is a mix.

Hmm. A forum takeover attempt would fail very badly.

@anne-of-lothlorien I think you could set it up under general writing discussions.

@sierra-r

Speaking of books, what are your favorites? Also, where do you live? And what is your…favorite kind of ice cream? Sorry, I’m just coming up with random questions. 😉 They’re all important…[Read more]

*looks* Oh, howdy!

I loved your article. Great you joined the team.

*wonders if you’ve read the count of monte cristo*

Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet.

*Flies away on a mallard pulled chariot*

Yep. Vidangel is 100% wonderful.

Welcome to the forum, @Sierra-R— welcome to the bestistest place on the internet. 😉 I have to say I’ve been wanting you to join the forum ever since you won the Picture Prompt Story Contest… what… a year ago? 😛 I really loved that story.
So… it’s about time! XD

@winter-rose
Thanks for tagging me, but I’m sick, and my brain kind of feels like mush right now. 😉

Heeeeyyy! In Freedom’s Cause, I’ve read that one. It’s been awhile, but I remember it being not too bad for a Henty.
High praise, I know. 😛

And Scottish Chiefs is definitely worth reading. Not the best written in all aspects by any means, but I still enjoyed it quite a bit.
