@I-J-Anderson so much character in that drawing though! I love it!

@PerfectFifths this anywhere close?

@emma-flournoy An antihero does not need a hero complement.

‘Nother character…

Erika Paige, female, nineteen. Tall, a little bony, dark-ish skin and a light dusting of freckles, with grey-green eyes and a veritable mop of brilliant red hair. She’s a mechanic… her story is steampunk, so she makes steam-powered robots and drones and such… and she also dresses like a Victorian era lady, mostly in dark…[Read more]

@winter-rose Well, I got done with that unexpectedly fast. Hope your writing goes well.

@winter-rose Well, I’m beta reading, so that works. I’ll probably be at it till eleven.

*spends several moments choking and gulping and wiping her eyes*
Ouch.
This is superb. Just… everything. You had some typos, especially a lot in the first part, (and one grammar problem— ‘lays’ instead of ‘lay’ or ‘lies’) but everything else was amazing. I was also struck with how well you characterized Ellen— the quiet, sweet characters can…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy Glad to hear we’ve been able to help you so much. Those kinds of comments make my day. 🙂

@hope Excellent. Very nice use of foil characters and perspective characters there to drive the scenes home.

@Aratrea I thought so too. 😉

@kate-flournoy Nice. I like it. Relationships divided by politics like this can have tons of potential.

@Abigail-Blomberg This is truly excellent. Pretty much everything I ever point out to people when I’m editing you did right. There were like two little things I thought maybe you could improve that I’ve now forgotten, but they weren’t a big deal.

@perfectfifths Oh, it would take me a day normally, but I’ve got some other beta reading to do, so it might take a bit longer. I should have it done within a week though.

@jane-maree five hours would be about right. We’re actually about to travel up your way. We’re going to be at Forster for a week.

@perfectfifths Btw, when’s the deadline? I want to make sure I get it back to you in time.

@Jane-maree Welcome. It’s nice to see you here.

@Julia-r I’m in New South Wales too. Also about two hours from the coast. A different bit of the coast unfortunately.

@willow-wispowing I’m not sure I knew you were on here Clare.

This is something I’ve thought about a bit and I think the problem with magic is seeking supernatural power or knowledge from a source other than God. Because if it doesn’t come from God, it comes from evil.

However, the thing that allows certain types of magic in fantasy is the word ‘supernatural’. In a made up world, you can have things we…[Read more]

@Jane-Maree awesome! Love to visit there and Tasmania and pretty much everywhere.

@Jane-Maree : Yup. Australia is 100% on the bucket list now! I like blue skies and lots of bright stars and diverse landscapes!!! If you don’t mind sharing, what region of Australia do you live in?

Ok, so these three scenes are from Fidelyon, the fantasy novel with the theme of identity (and subthemes of faith and responsibility)

1. The MC, Ethaniel has fled with a jester’s apprentice into a haunted forest to escape a general who has already killed the original bearer of the riddle to find the shield. They’ve figured out the current riddle…[Read more]
