@Daeus
Really? No killing allowed? I thought this topic would be fun. Just kidding. 😉 😛@anna-brie
I agree about some names sounding ridiculous, especially if the story is set in another world. If the story is in another world, the names should be unique, but not…too unique. Like Farentobiolis (I just made that up; it’s pronounced…[Read more] -

It’s great fun how sometimes a name and a character just completely click. Sometimes, before I even name the character, I know what letter his name has to start with because it’s ‘his’ letter, so I brainstorm names that begin with that letter.
@kate-flournoy I do the SAME thing! For some reason, I usually have a character “letter” in mind.…[Read more]

Ooh, great topic @Anna-Brie! I love names. Pretty much what everyone else said in regards to villains, though as in all cases with all things there are exceptions.
As for heroes… well, it depends on what kind of person the hero is. When I think ‘hero’ I usually think ‘noble’, ‘strong’ and ‘complicated’. Don’t ask me why I think complicated. :P…[Read more] -

@anna-brie
Great topic, Anna! Thanks for bringing it up. 🙂 I absolutely love making up character names and learning the meanings behind the names!
I think a villain’s name usually contains hard sounds (as @ingridrd said). I don’t know if that’s because it makes the villains sound harsher and harder or for some other reason, but it seems that…[Read more] -

@his-instrument I’m not really sure I can generalize about that. You might be right, but I wouldn’t be the one to say.

@his-instrument Hi, Hannah. I wanted to see if you were interested in giving input to KP on a bit of a secret project we’re working on. Basically, we’re putting together what we’re calling a NaNoWriMo Devotional. What it is is a series of short entries for every day of November with tips on strong writing, time management, health as a writer, as…[Read more]

@Daeus Sure! Just tell me when you need the feedback and whatnot. 😉

@gretald Great. Thanks so much. As of yet, the book isn’t fully written, but it will be finished soon. Either Sarah Spradlin or I will probably be getting you what’s ready so far in a day or two. As for a deadline, I don’t have a strict one set yet, but obviously, we need to have the book completely done before November, so it would be really nice…[Read more]

Ok, I talked to Sarah and it looks like there might be a short delay in getting you the document, but it should be before the end of the week.

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Comics in the forum Art 10 years ago
Comics as in how, @Alia? You mean caricatures/drawings/strips that tell stories? I have absolutely no problem with comics. I love them, if done right. But though I’m an artist, I have zero knack for caricatures. 😛 More’s the pity. I love making people laugh.

Sure. When do you need the input back?
@his-instrument As of yet, only portions are complete, though we will have the rest finished in maybe a week or two at the latest. I should be able to get you what we have so far today to start with. I would say we would want to have input back by the end of September if possible, but I’m just making that up. If I talked with rest of the staff I…[Read more]
