@kate-flournoy A pearl for the villains. I wasn’t quite expecting that. Then I thought “that’s a good idea”. Just imagine a couple who’s first child is born with a pearl. What would they do? Hide him till he grew up and they could hide him and his gem no longer? I won’t tell you to write it now cause I know how it is to be working hard on my…[Read more]

@daeus Ah yes. Thnak you. I’ll remember that for future reference.
@gretald Thank you. I’ll be posting updates (if there are any) in my profile, as Daeus suggested, and I’ll definitely tag you.

Haha! Yes, you totally belong here, @Aella . My nemesis is weakening. 😉

You’re very brave, @daeus ! Rewriting your whole story is a bold and tough move. I envy your pertinacity.

So true about moms! I told mine what you said, and I think she agreed with you. 😉

You do that, @hope ! Don’t let the awesomeness of your neglected novel go to…[Read more]

@Gretald,ummm I cant really remember where we met, I just remember you guys came to our house for something a long time ago… idk lol my memory is terrible. I think our parents know eachother or something.

Awesome topic, people! Love it— everything said here thus far I completely agree with; in fact, you guys got most of it already. 😉

Another thing I’ll just add, though, is watch out for ‘telling’ in POV, even. Let me give you an example.
Trevor blinked, frozen in his seat, his heart thumping furiously in his ears. This was the chance of a…[Read more]

@gretald
Here’s one: Oliver had an exam coming up; he was nervous.

So, I’ve been off for a while, but i just skimmed thru this thread and there’s some stuff that popped out at me:
Ofc, I’m another ohioan XD Which reminds me, I live like right by you @Gretald! And also, you might not remember me, but our familys actually know eachother!! XD

Oh yeah, @Daeus,I was at both Celtic Balls and saw you there, heh.

And…[Read more]

@gretald The suspense is killing me too. Cause I don’t know what happens!!! XD
Yes @kate-flournoy I took a bit to decide, but I can only see two ends, so I chose to do swords. 😀

((Yeah, I’m going off Kate’s. Sorry @gretald, I just don’t know what I would have done with the window. I probably would have had her see something boring like a sock.))

His declaration does nothing to calm me down. Lovely. Two more burning questions. I didn’t have enough before.
I turn my gaze back on him, “What do you mean that only one of us…[Read more]

Haha! I like them both @kate-flournoy and at @gretald!

Ooooooooops… we were posting at the same time @gretald!

What do we do now… 😛

@gretald *falls on knees and begs pardon for the very delayed reply* Favorite musical… *taps chin* What a very difficult question! I just might have to say Cinderella (for now 🙂 ) I just saw the traveling Broadway version and absolutely loved it. It definitely competed for my former favorite, Beauty and the Beast. Runner up is Seven Brides for…[Read more]

@gretald That’s not a bad idea…except the bad guy’s army won’t know he’s dead. At leas, they won’t see it, so I don’t think that will work. I want something more than common fleeing.

And yes, @Kate-Flournoy, it is a spear. (A SPEAR, EVERYONE, NOT A PEAR) And it’s too late to go back and edit the post. ;(

The horn, hmm. Possibly, though for the…[Read more]

Um… well… stop the bad guys, stop the bad guys, and… stop the bad guys. 😛 They all pretty much boil down to the same thing.

And I don’t think that’s necessarily a bad thing, @gretald.

Let me explain. Though the story goal can certainly be very cool and epic and all that, it’s not the goal that makes the story interesting. It’s the…[Read more]

Hello, @gretald! I found this volcano on here just waiting to happen… awesome topic! One of my favorite tactics for conflict is sparring between characters. Yeah, we have the overall conflict (which is the story-goal) but it really helps move things along if you have a lot of heated exchanges between the characters on a scene to scene basis. If…[Read more]

@gretald I am so glad you like it! Thank you for the criticism! It helps a lot! I am beginning to realize that the tense thing is something we struggle with through out the entire fanfic. Oops… Haha. Yay!! Someone likes the ending line. I have no idea whether it was me or my friend that wrote that particular line, but I was pleased with it.…[Read more]

Well hey, that’s good to know @gretald! That’s how I am too— but I just wanted to make sure I didn’t offend anyone who maybe didn’t feel that way. 😉

*clears throat importantly, glares around with red pen poised quivering in clenched fingers* Next?

😉

You guys are ALL very creative! Wow— who knew this forum was full of poetic geniuses! 😉

@Gretald, I would just switch up the syllables a bit in your limerick, though it does fit the form. Yours was

There was a girl called Connie,
Whose sister’s name was Bonnie,
She was so wee,
That she will be,
Always with their Mommy.

Try:

There once w…

I love this topic! @gretald I’m an ENFP, with introverted tendencies.

My MC for my current WIP is…here, wait, let me check… an INFJ. Or so I say. I haven’t really stuck to strict guidelines so far, but maybe I should…
