Thanks! I will admit I may have used my two best MCs, but their also my favorite, so…and Vulkasin really does need development.

Vulkasin
The girl had come to a halt a few feet away. She looked as frightened and out of place as the lad inside the armory.
“H-hello. I…” Her voice trailed off.
Then she took a deep breath and looked Vulkasin straight in the eye, a feat for anyone considering his height.
“My name’s Arabella Fabel.” She dipped her head politely. “I’m…[Read more]

I like long ones! =)
Zlatan
In an instant November had changed from a fumbling bundle of nerves to a lad staring at Zlatan with a look ready to tear down walls. “Have you seen Arabella? She’s my…She’s my friend.”
Zlatan’s smile returned. The lad could be a fighter after all. “Neh, I ‘ave not seen any living soul ‘ere beside y…[Read more]

Zlatan
The lad was obviously in an emotional breakdown. He was pulling his hair and jabbering.
“Point is, I..ah, really didn’t mean to do any of this! It just kinda…happens.” the lad grimaced. “So…if you could…not mention this? Or…umm…not lock me away for all eternity?” He smiled but his eyes were still terrified.

Zlatan and Vulkasin
The brothers strode down the hall, swords drawn, shields ready. Whoever had dragged them who knew how far to lock them up in a closet, not even the dignity a real cell, had much explaining to do.
Vulkasin gripped the handle and pulled. This door swung open with the ease of a well mannered fox. Zlatan held his shield up…[Read more]

That’s fine with me! Also, it may be good to keep them human here, as some things about wolf nature really only work in the right story…such as sudden madness at the taste or smell of blood. *Shrug* So what if I may be ignoring thumbs in my books?

Oh, I forgot to mention, the twins have an accent, but by the end of this thing I mostly gave up. It’s a pain to write in first draft. XD
Zlatan and Vulkasin
Vulkasin slammed himself against the door, again. This time he was rewarded with a bruised face.
“Getting anyvere?” Zlatan’s voice cut through the fog inside Vulkasin’s head.
“Neh. You…[Read more]

Ooooooooo! This is awesome!
So, hi! I am Koshka (or at least that’s who I am around here, bwahaha) and here are my characters; 17 year old twins Zlatan Vulkasin, who though wolves in my book will, for convenience, be human here. That are wearing swords, a shield strapped across the back, and an open-faced Rus style helmet. Zlatan will also be…[Read more]

Well, I really haven’t been paying enough attention have I? I just saw this tag. =|
That sounds like a good start for a story, and is making ideas spring into my head. If written well it wouldn’t be cliche. It has some possibilities for a powerful storyline.
Random spark of ideas- What if this country is something like Israel under…[Read more]

Koshka replied to the topic The Beloved Character Death Discussion Page….Woohoo in the forum Characters 4 years, 3 months ago
Yeah, murdering characters is definitely one of those harder things about story plotting. I have a MIA in one of mine who won’t come back, even though part of me is testing that point pretty hard.
Oh…
huge Wingfeather spoilerwas so well written, but, ahh, it hurt. *Sniff* -
Koshka replied to the topic Wingfeather Saga in the forum Book Discussions 4 years, 3 months ago
Sounds fun!
I don’t remember if his backstory was mentioned, but I think not. Hmm…it would be interesting. Here are a few random questions;
- Does he view ridge-runners in the same light as children?
- Has he ever been a Strander?
- Does he remember before Gnag?
- What is his motive/ does he believe what he is doing is wrong?

Especially when the reader doesn’t see it coming. Bwahaha!
Yeah, I wasn’t sure I liked it either untill I started researching some stuff, then it sort of exploded. XD For instance, one of my kingdoms uses a lunar calendar, but I when I started working it out I got carried away, so now there’s a separate calendar for each of…[Read more]

Hi! I have randomly hopped on.
I’ll have to check that out. =)

Favorite tropes? I’m not sure yet. I love absolutely crushing my main carries deep into the ground (but not like most authors), then redeeming them/making something beautiful of their story. (Ok,…[Read more]

Flickers of light glinted back, caught on gossamers in the murky darkness. Holding the torch as high as the cavern roof allowed, Meyani crept down stairs, counting each crumbling step. Two-and-ten, three-and-ten, four-and-ten…

Well, I have been working on this scene for some time now, mulling it over it in my mind, so I finally wrote it down, even though I haven’t gotten near this part of my book yet. Its not exactly a line- a whole scene to be exact. But anyway…

Koshka replied to the topic Do you Prefer Classical or Modern Literature? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 4 months ago
Classical. I grew up on it, so the older vocabularies don’t bother me. The depths in story, the mixture of poetry in prose, all the types and shadows… I feel more at home with classics than modern literature.
But I haven’t read much truly old stuff beyond Pilgrim’s Progress, some Shakespeare, and Canterbury Tales (which I do not…[Read more]

Koshka replied to the topic How do you draft/write the "first" document? in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 4 months ago
Welp, I love revising. Writing itself is difficult and obnoxious.
Let me rephrase that; I enjoy writing, but I struggle turning off the strong-minded inner editor who then destroys all my work because it’s in first draft stage and therefore terrible. However, as rewriting is my favorite part of writing in general I usually don’t…[Read more]

Thank you!!!! They’re doing such an awesome job of it, I might actually try to watch some when it comes out!
And that probably sounded strange. Explanation; being someone blessed with an extremely vivid imagination I find myself disappointed by movie adaptations of books I perhaps only skim read.
But this looks good, so I…[Read more]
