@elfwing Mm yes ducks would make such cute spies. My guards would definitely let down their guard for them. If I had guards.

And yes, eat the chickens. Better than eating the horse, heheh.

And geese are absolutely terrifying they would definitely make very good watchdogs. Or turkeys. Forget peacocks turkeys would do more than just be decoration.

@hallie-jean

ohhh I did the bubbly gal falling in love with the tall dark n handsome guy toooooo

It is my FAVORITE love trope in my writingggg!!! the journey of learning to better understand each other is so fun and developing their characters can be a total hoot and also give some tears. I would say it’s my top favorite, but I have not used it…[Read more]

@devastating-lasting

So true!!!!

I love ducks!!! they’re good pets and would make very innocent looking spies, and also information carriers if you trained them…

Chickens!!! yessss. They’d make good traveling companions! push comes to shove eat the chikcen… muahahaha  They’re also good at catching mosquitoes and other annoying bugs!! so…[Read more]

@elfwing How about…chickens? There seems to be an underwhelming amount of chickens in fantasy except in cooking.

And ducks. And geese.

@hallie-jean

oooo great point!!!

*gasps * Ladybugs! Perfect! You gave me an idea!

and GIANT grasshoppers! For my dragon people!!! They get on their grasshopper and it jumps and flings them on the air and they get a jumpstart flight!!

thank you! You gave me ideas!!

Moths would be cool too… I mean Gandalf used one…

ohhh what if the…[Read more]

@alia I’m going to be sprinting all day, so I may or may not be on here. Have fun writing!

@godlyfantasy12

ooo my friend loves those critters!! Good choice, good choice! That must be so fun! Do they talk? O.O

what did you name it?

yeah… that is a great idea when I need some critters! Thanks!

i have an albino deer and elephants and a ferret and a cottontail rabbit in mine, and the ferret is named Lokee  XD

@kathleenramm Secret identities —- your works sound lowkey like Durarara!, which has quite a bit of that around the climax.

Hmm…for me I find myself pulling more light novel tropes, usually, such as getting hit by a truck, white curtains blowing in a classroom, fireworks festivals, etc…. I watch too much anime…

Um…I use “the quest” a…[Read more]

@joy-caroline That sounds awesome! I’m all for parallels! Sounds like it would be hard to pull off but if you could do it, that’d be really good!

@joy-caroline

wow I would say YES but I really like adding a  traumatized person to my stories and then tying in their story with the plot!

I would say as long as you make sure to keep it tied into the plot, do it. Like maybe they just miss each other or something…

anyways yes!

@hallie-jean

yesss! That’s great! 😂 love it!

@joy-caroline

Good point… I like zebras too! That’s a good idea! 😃

@daisy-torres

cool! Haha sounds perfect for unsuspecting mischief… and a talking one at that!

my dad had a pet ferret at one point named Loki 😂 it was a cheeky critter; it loved to hide under the couch and then when peo…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

mine is so secret identity!!! I have at least two people in each book of my series; sometimes the same and sometimes new ones. Not intentionally

i love the chances for discovery and adding layers

“well… we’re like onions.”

“So… they smell?”

“Yes— no! We have layers! Onions have layers!

“Well cake has layers!

@keilah-h

cool cool! I haven’t seen many Star Wars, and only two Marvel, and the last ones listed I have never heard of… they sound cool! that’s a fun idea, combining two fandoms! 🙂

@keilah-h

don’t get me wrong, I think it’s really cool you do those!

@keilah-h

Ahh ok. that sounds fun! what movies/books have you done fan fics on?

You know… the ready-made part is probably what makes it hard for me; I love making new things, and trying to replicate artistic works (except accents and voices) really doesn’t work for me, be it characters or drawings and paintings.

@keilah-h

sounds cool! Good for you! I have never succeeded at fan fics, but everyone is different and I appreciate writers who can take a character and make their own fan fic and it turn out really cool. From what you’ve described here and other topics, I’d say you must have lots of fun doing them! Keep it up! 🙂

I must admit… I love doing…[Read more]

@keilah-h Of course! One of my favorite books, East of Eden, is a retelling of Cain and Abel, and I love it to pieces. Your methods sound so cool! What stories do you usually choose?

@kathleenramm Ah, farmer/shepherd meaning Cain and Abel, haha… I didn’t realise I was writing a retelling of the first murder until I was almost done. So…

Yes, reflective character arcs are so good with foils and things… Those always strengthen themes the best, I think.

@kathleenramm

thank you!

i do like those kinds of characters as well. After all, no one is perfect.

In this case it’s the villain’s fiancé/soon-to-be wife who  defends him and yet criticize him. She loves him fiercely and the two are rather a funny pair, but it works XD. She’s got a quick temper and trust issues but once you have her trust,…[Read more]
