@daisy-torres Ah thank you so much! Unfortunately, no, I wouldn’t recommend it. The readerbase is very small already and without signing a contract it is hard to garner any attention for your work. Plus, the site caters much more to genres like LGBT.

@elanor Great question! I wrangled with this for a long time in one of my stories. Here’s what I figured out from all that research and whatnot:

Think of the environment and how you can create environmental obstacles. In Avatar Volume 3, there are two episodes where Sokka and Zuko have to escape from a high-security Fire Nation prison surrounded…[Read more]

This was cool to read through. All of these are some great points.

@faith-q

Emeric and Jornan. Hhhmmmmmm. If I were writing this kind of situation, honestly I would bring in a new character to help snap Emeric out of his guilt, and remind him of the truth so that he’s able to do what’s right and apply all that was said here.

(also I love those…[Read more]

@faith-q

Thanks for starting this conversation! All I can say is that you guys are great and I’ve just learned so much right now reading through all your responses.

I don’t have much to add, since I think you guys have covered everything that I would have said. I think I’ll just address the topic of Jornan and Emeric and the personal issues…[Read more]

@daisy-torres Ay, I have an urban fantasy series on Tapas called Those Who Were Given Another Yesterday! Feel free to read with the link below.

@sparrowhawke Oh, if you’re 18, I’m sure it’ll be fine. I read Monster when I was fifteen. It’s not too gory, and the most sexual stuff is all implied, nothing really explicit on screen. There’s a lot of murder (crime genre for a lot of it) and a lot of very heavy themes, but it’s all very good, so I highly recommend.

@sparrowhawke Ah, ’tis my time to shine.

I’ve read so much manga in the last few years I’m not sure if I should be ashamed or not. At this point I’ve been desensitised to most things so I’m going to watch myself when recommending stuff.

When people ask for reccs usually the first one I recommend is Fullmetal Alchemist! It’s absolutely perfect,…[Read more]

And actually, yes. There is a dark past to Podo Helmer for the Wingfeather kids to uncover–but it doesn’t come into play until the second book. You have to keep reading, even if it was the most boring thing you’ve ever read. Finish it, and THEN you can say “This is trash!” or “Hey, I kinda like this” or “I love it.”

And there is one other thing. It was a Christian series, with good dragons. I love the idea of dragons, but since the dragon is almost always the antagonist in European folktales (and is associated with evil in other places–just look at Revelation) I thought Christian writers didn’t like using dragons as good characters or protagonists. But in…[Read more]

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin At first, I was like, “How DARE you call it ‘trash!’ It’s a good series!” Personally, this series is one of the only Christian fiction stories I’ve read, and to me it’s pretty good. But I get what you said with the first book–if you ‘re an adult (which I’m assuming you are for some reason) the first book seems kinda…[Read more]

@daisy-torres *distant coughing* My stuff.

@kathleenramm

Shortest was a quick three page short called “Delusionary” that was based off of a quick two line conversation someone and I had during rehearsal one day. But short stories aside, I can write 50-80k work in 40 days. But that doesn’t count, actually. Which perfectly segues me into…

Longest: “Thirteen Ways to Infinity” is an…[Read more]

@maryg3 Wow! Congratulations!! The design looks beautiful, I’m so happy for you!

@trahia-the-minstrel

Oh that’s so cool! So you heard Japan recognized it?

Thanks! I’ll look into that:). My local library has some manga, but really it’s just some popular anime stuff, usually adapted into manga.

Yes! That is such a gorgeous scene. There are so many perfect times like that in ATLA. I was so happy when it came back on Netflix.…[Read more]

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin

yeah, just get to the third book and you will be amazed. =O

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin

dunno, i’ve never thought about exercising just to see how many pushups i can do lol.  how bout you?? :))  also, i’m starting to get into crossfit, which is kinda fun.

@abigail-m

you didn’t have to cross the “better than a comedian” part out. I’ll take that compliment proudly.

Thanks for the story, the yoda quote, and tips. But honestly, time isn’t my problem. I have several hours of free time a day where I just lay down and stare up at the sky and contemplate my life and daydream about what could have…[Read more]

@koshka

Well, if you ever need a beta reader, critique, or anything else in the future, I am always available if you ever want. I hadn’t been critiquing or reading for awhile (very busy) but I’m happy to say that I can once again critique or you know, just give general thoughts or point out flaws and strengths that I see. But that is of cou…[Read more]

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin

You’re hilarious XD (100% better than a comedian)  That’s devastating…

Hmm, I guess everyone may or will have different advice for you here, but I’d say the best way to keeping writing and hold onto those protein shakes, is to club your keyboard.

I mean force stuff out of your keys on spare minutes and write fi…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel I’ve read the whole of Assassination Classroom and I agree that the content/humor can get very. Um. Yeah. But also the overall story and themes are really good, so I view it in a positive light. Dr. Stone I’ve gotten a lot of ads for, but haven’t watched it yet.

Um. Content for Code Geass (it’s been years)… I watched it…[Read more]
