@Jess I (obviously) concur with what they all said, but I’d like to add a side note to Daeus’ point: If the world is better off than it was before, even if (and possibly because) the protagonist didn’t get what she wanted, than at least a small victory has been achieved, no matter the personal cost to the MC. The reader will recognize this and be…[Read more]

@christi-eaton Get over here, I found a fan of the Wingfeather Saga for you.

Hi @dekreel! Glad you found our crazy little corner of the internet.
Do you play any instruments?

@salome01w4g *discreetly holds out hand for a high-five*

@daeus, my photo is a drawing I did of one of the characters in my novella. I’m not sure what Redwall is, but have you read the Wingfeather Saga? I looks kinda like a fang to me 😀

@salome01w4g, Howdy! I am from the United States. Can you guess what state I’m from? (You might be able to tell XD)
@kate-flournoy, my poem is called “Majesty Complete.” I don’t think I write in a specific genre. I write mostly diary passages with a touch of poetry and short stories, and the occasional essay or list. I am working on a Doctor Who…[Read more]

Hullo, @Dekreel! Welcome to this crazy place! Do you know what MBTI personality type you are? What’s your favorite genre in fiction?

@Anne-of-lothlorien I feel like to ought to say something, but I’m too busy laughing to think of anything clever.

BRAVO, dear. This is… it’s just… yeah. *thunderous applause*

@Daeus depends on what kinda critique you’re looking for. Would it be basically the same stuff as we did with Fools in the Darkness?

Hi, @dekreel 😀

Is your profile picture from anything in particular? It reminds me of a Redwall character.

@dekreel Welcome to the Kingdom!! Happy to have ya. 🙂 Do you usually write only poetry or do you have a bigger project in the works?

@anne-of-lothlorien THIS IS AMAZING! 😂 Love it!!!

Greetings back atcha, @Dekreel! Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet. 😀 Cool! What poem was that?
What genre do you write? What’s your favorite book, if you can choose one? What kind of music do you like?

@anne-of-lothlorien Lovely! XD

@daeus Nice one. You got a line of respect. 😛

You know you’re a writer when you’re decided whether you want to include someone’s backstory or not, and decide to do so not because it’s fun to write, but because it’s heart wrenching and when you say so, your sister says only this, “Sigh.”

@jess What Kate said. Basically, either the loss your character experiences needs to be necessary for them to become a better person or the ending is just plain tragic, but a side character learns something valuable from it and the readers are left with a lot of hope for that side character.

Hi @jess! Nice to see you again. 😉

I don’t have too much to say about this, but I will lend you one thought: life isn’t always happy. What I mean by that is, we might like to think that happy endings lie around every corner, but that isn’t always true. Sometimes it’s the exact opposite.

What does this mean for you? It might mean that you need…[Read more]

@Jess lovely topic. I have a lot of thoughts on unhappy endings, but I haven’t got time to consolidate them all now, so I’ll just leave you with the biggest two.

The first is the concept of catharsis. The reader must be satisfied in some way or other. The reader must feel that something was gained; that the world is somehow better as they leave…[Read more]

You never cease to amaze me, dear. Nice work! This is hilarious.
