Hey, sorry about the late welcome, but WELCOME anyway!  I’m Ella, I write dystopian/thriller/suspense/mystery/post-apocalyptic/YA novels.  I love myself a good mystery/thriller book on a rainy day with a cup of tea, if I’m in the mood.  If I’m not, I’m most likely in the gym or playing basketball or hanging with friends.  And writing is…[Read more]

update to the fanfic topic: I stopped writing the artemis fowl fanfic I had started a while ago. It was too cringy for me. BUT I did get the protagonist (or rather, the first idea of my protagonist) for my crime novel out of it!

@elfwing

This was interesting. I loved it. Well written, I had a good idea of the scene and the atmosphere, and even while knowing not much abt your characters, I had a good idea of their personalities. One thing that I think would be helpful here would be (like scoutfinch suggested) a dip into emotion regarding Kaunon. Maybe show a bit more of…[Read more]

FINALLY A TOPIC ON THIS!! You’re going to see a lot of Tron, Warriors, and Star Wars stories….

Most of my stories end up being fanfics…….

Hmmm….Honestly, romance subplots show up a LOT in my stories….but I think you guys have better suggestions than me. And @elfwing, just a question, was the character Gaol flying in his own right, like with wings or something, or did he have like a wingsuit or a glider or something he was wearing or riding?

@kathleenramm

Thanks!  Well, i always had the idea for Hope’s character in the back of my head, but watching the Will Smith movie, I Am Legend inspired me to expand the plot.  That movie, paired with Interstellar really sealed the bill for me. XD  I love complex plots, high stakes, and characters searching for family/romance, so this story is b…[Read more]

Hmm…The biggest stakes in my stories…..

I’ll use my latest fanfic. The stakes of the story are introduced somewhat later in the plot. The MC, a warrior cat apprentice named Crosspaw (adult name Crossfire, if you’ve ever read the Warriors series you’ll understand), needs to keep a secret from his father’s clan, because if he fails, they’ll…[Read more]

@kathleenramm This is actually the sequel of a sequel of a spinoff for my original idea for Thirteen Ways, ha… It started out with me wanting to make a world where I could escape to, and gradually I just added on, and on, and on… And now, thankfully, I’ve run out of ideas for it.

@kathleenramm I’m gonna use the current arc of Thirteen Ways since the stakes are the clearest. Basic premise: they need to gather ingredients for a spell to vanquish a demon. If they don’t, then some friends and family are lost forever to the demon.

In order to collect the ingredients, they must defeat the guardians of some of the ingredients.…[Read more]

Tbh, i feel like every era was just plain bad. XD  Maybe i’d go back to the eighties and nineties to jam out and crowdsurf XDDD  Not a super intelligent answer, but that’s what I’d do:)

@power

I LOVE geometry too!

@kathleenramm

for my WIP Spirals, the stakes are the choices between life and death.  Hope, the MC, lives alone in the wild and wants a “family” more than anything: parents, friends, anyone.  Every decision she makes decides if she’ll survive the next morning.  The people living in the post-apocalyptic world are basically insane so she never know…[Read more]

@gracie-j Oh, I see.

Top ten reasons never to let dragonmen or any kind of alien/talking animal/non-human sentient character into a human city…..

1. They are likely to dent people’s cars.
2. They are going to wreck your house if it has a low ceiling.
3. They’re going to gut your pantry. Meaning, they will eat everything in there and still be hungry. They may or may no…

@daisy-torres i love it!  wanna read it now…

@kathleenramm Good luck on your story! Yes, now I think I want to incorporate at least one delivery boy henchman into a future story. I love it when henchmen have distinct personalities and appearances. Makes the story much more fun.

@daisy-torres Oo, nice! Looks great!

@kathleenramm

Okay, so I was originally gonna say I pants things, but then as I thought abt it, I realized that I legit plan nearly everything in my life. As I’m falling asleep at night, I usually dream abt two things. One, fiction, and two, the upcoming day and the events in it.

I find myself sympathizing with seekjustice and morgan on this…[Read more]
