Hello! I’m back to this wonderful pointy topic!

I finally got swords in my novel! Well….they’re practice blunts, but I got to write the word “sword” so I’m pretty happy.

But I don’t know how to teach someone to use it. Has anyone ever written a scene where your MC is taught to use a sword? Because I am rather clueless.

@daeus @warrioroftherealm

@daeus this sounds fun! I would like to do this…but I’d probably just end up fainting and being incoherent about the awesomeness instead of actually analyzing. I do that sometimes. 😉

@supermonkey42 Can’t remember exactly. It was either lack of involvement or I didn’t have enough time.

Well, I’m signing off.

Goodnight, KeePers!

@rochellaine Semi-dystopian might work. Although the world’s not falling apart. 😉

To answer your questions:

Third person. Though I have been known to change my mind in the middle of a story. 🙂

The protagonist is a girl. I usually write male protagonists, but this story just felt like it needed a girl.

What’s your his-fic story about?

@rochellaine A culture-focused time travel story…that sounds like an interesting premise. 😀

Well, the political situation at the time is slightly altered from our present one. It’s what it /could/ be like in a few years. Besides that, the story could be contemporary.

@rochellaine aw, I can’t join you this time! will you be on Monday?

@rochellaine Well…it’s actually hard to tell at the moment. It’s set in the near future, but it’s not really sci-fi. I don’t know what to call it.

Isn’t it cool how music inspires us like that? 🙂

@rochellaine Yup! I’m working on the beginning of a story that’s been floating around in my head for a while…

. . .Two years  later. . .

This was a great idea! Whatever happened to it?

@daeus

(Yes, I am systematically browsing every page of the 84 pages of KP forum topics. It’s kind of fun, actually.)

@Daeus Yay! *lemonade and cheesecake for all*

I definitely prefer “Awestruck to see that in dark the lights dance”.

@notawriter Steal anything you want. I didn’t make them up, anyway! (Uh….most of them.)

“Awestruck to see that in dark the lights dance” @daeus

Oya, KaPeeFers! I’m WRITING!

Hopefully.

If I don’t get distracted.

Which I probably will.

Oh well.

@sam-kowal @dragon-snapper @ariella-newheart @dekreel @ingridrd

@dragon-snapper I honestly think it’s perfect. I want to write emotions like that!

But I understand why you might be concerned about an overload of cold cloudy grayness. (I can’t seem to get enough of that in…but then again, I’m not to the gray parts yet….anyway.)

I’ll take some examples from my Aislinn Mollisong: Hero! roleplay for this,…[Read more]

Hello, KeePers and KaPeeFers! So I’ve been…uh….okay, I’ve been stalking this topic. But now I am posting in this art-filled topic!

And yes, there is a reason.

I would like it if someone drew my MC Amber. She has dark brown hair that goes down to her waist and is just the slightest bit wavy. Her eyes are golden/amber-colored, she is rather…[Read more]

Oh, one more question. Do you prefer the ending lines:

“Awestruck to see that in dark the lights dance”

or

“Awestruck to see that in night the lights dance”

???

Thanks everyone! @emma-flournoy @ariella-newheart @rochellaine

I think I’ve got it now. I’ll come back to this a few months from now to see if I can make any small improvements, but I think it’s generally solid. 😀

@ethryndal  Have you done mine yet?
