Daeus replied to the topic Homework for Video 12: Foil Characters in the forum Writing Assignments 7 years, 8 months ago
@hope With martyrdom and apparent tragedy, the poetic justice is subtle. Good leads to blessings, but it doesn’t mean the protagonist can have everything. If a character with a good EIL dies, what’s generally happening is a sacrifice. In other words, even though he’s giving up his life, he’s gaining something that’s more important to him. If he…[Read more]

Snapper replied to the topic Writing Dares! in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 8 months ago
@emma-flournoy @daeus @kate-flournoy @ethryndal @winter-rose I have been writing/trying to write the writing dare that Emma gave me a bit ago. The one about a dragon who melts everything. Well, it’s changed quite a bit from that to the point that Daeus is king, @hope is a Knight, I’m a rogue knight cadet, and so forth. However, I’m stuck. I wrote…[Read more]

@hope Haha, a lad with a stubble XD He looks a lot older in the original picture on the paper 😛 But see why I want to learn how to draw more realistically, especially for older men or more serious characters.
But you got a she-wolf! And I think she’s pretty good, if I say so myself 😉

Snapper replied to the topic Co-writing in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 8 months ago
@princessfoo Hiya! Welcome to the bestistest place on the internets!
Hmmm. Well, I’ve co-written some, though I haven’t done it in a bit. First thing I would ask is if your characters are going to cross paths at some point. I suggest discussing where each of you are going with your own plots, if you haven’t already. That way you can understand…[Read more] -

Woops. That’s a link…
Well, it will show you the pic, so until I figure it out this’ll have to do. 😀
@Hope I’m not exactly sure who or what he’s laughing at…You’ll have to tell me. 😉 I also wasn’t sure what clothing to use so I just picked my generic ‘old-fashioned-raggamuffin-sort-of-style’ if that makes any sense. XD IF you follow the…[Read more]

@christi-eaton Ah, I see, well, I’d still love for you to, when you have the time and if you don’t mind 😉
@i-j-anderson Wow, Trajan is amazing! The face and hair are really good, though this is a very serious mood he’s in 😉 I picture clothes a little differently, but people have lots of outfits so it doesn’t matter 😉

@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.

@kate-flournoy That’s amazing!
@hope Argh! I finished the drawing, but my PC is being slow in loading something or opening something (I ain’t technical 😛 ) so I haven’t been able to stick it up 🙁 I’ll do it as soon as possible 🙂
In the mean time, I think I’ll post some characters of my own…

Ooh ooh what about Tales of Goldstone Wood series by Anne Elizabeth Stengl. I really love the ones I’ve read of that and they’re really beautiful fantasy and allegory-ish too. Super well written.
The Youngest Templar Trilogy by Michael Spradlin (not this @spradlin)
The Black Arrow by Robert Louis Stevenson
All of the Ranger’s Apprentice books by John Flanagan (unless, of course, you’ve read those)
The Brotherband Chronicles by John Flanagan
In Search of Honor by Donnalynn Hess
The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin
The Hero’s Guide to Saving…[Read more]
@dragon-snapper LOL. Ironically enough, my favorite genre to write is medieval fantasy.
@spradlin Haha! That is too funny!
The Space trilogy by Paul Regnier and A Time to Die trilogy by Nadine Brandes.
And another thought that I just had would be: Orphan’s Song (Gillian Bronte Adams), or A Wish Made of Glass (Ashlee Willis) – both fantasy. 🙂
Pendragon’s Heir by Suzannah Rowntree. Arthurian legend and historical fantasy plus time-travel. Also a great book in its own right. Be prepared for an authour who asks hard moral questions and doesn’t give easy answers. Has a bit of romance but even I (who can’t talk about romance at all without getting snarky) liked it.
I’ve got too many recommendations.
Ilyon Chronicles by Jaye L. Knight
Blades of Acktar series by Tricia Mingerink.
Finding Angel by Kat Heckenbach
Tales of Taelis series by Sarah Holman
Annabeth’s War and Captive of Raven Castle by Jessica Greyson.
The Gammage Cup, by Carol Kendall
I just finished reading that a couple weeks ago, and can’t stop raving about it. Fantasy. No romance. No horror. Just a lovely, light read.
Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card. More of a sci-fi than a fantasy, but it’s a must read. I recommend it to everyone.
Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard is fantastic, though if you get it you should probably get the sequel alongside it and spare yourself the suspense.
If you’ve never read Little Men (yes: men. not women) by Lousia May Alcott you need…[Read more]
Patrick W. Carr’s “The Staff and the Sword” trilogy was a really refreshing fantasy to me. =) Also “The Scarlet Pimpernel” (not fantasy) was really good.
Can’t wait to check some of these out!!! I will have lots to read this summer! Thanks, everyone! Oh, and I have read Johnny Tremain, but it’s been a *few* years, so thanks for mentioning it! I think I’ll go to my bookshelf and re-read it now!
I’m in the middle of reading Virals by Kathy Rieches (the original mind behind BONES)… it’s so, so good! I highly recommend it. Just throwing that out there in case you’re still needing some more reading material. 😉
