Cloaked Mystery replied to the topic How many stories/books have you written? in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 months, 3 weeks ago
Okay, I guess you could do that, but in my opinion it would be a bit different than other genres. In a lot if ways, historical fiction and fantasy are opposites, so to me that seems like mixing those is going to feel different than say a detective novel with fantasy elements. It’s hard to put into words, but the idea of mixing tho…[Read more]

I have completed one short story. I have started writing…Only one other story, I think? But I have planned and done a lot of thinking about…let’s see, about…at least an additional four. I’ve been working on the same project for the last five years, and it’s gone through many changes, but it’s never reached completion.

@rae Now that you’ve seen Endgame, would you, or anyone else care to discuss this opinion of mine: Endgame was good but was not a worthy follow-up to Infinity War. I’ll let someone else reply before I tell you why I think this is. Note that I still like Endgame, but it had some flaws that don’t pay off Infinity War in my opinion.

Well, I’m not good at coming up with questions, but I noticed that most people seem to use the same ones all the time, so I figured I could do that.

Ohhhhh! Yeah, I’ve peaked into that RP, but it’s not my type of thing. I do remember that name.

Welcome to KP! I’m Jonas, more enigmatically known as Cloaked Mystery. I write mostly in the fantasy genre, but usually with hard rules that verge on sci-fi. I like creating magic systems, usually hard ones, but I have a few soft-ish ones. My current project, which I am working on with my sister, @highscribeofaetherium, is a…[Read more]

Also, who’s Cole and what RP is he in?

Yeah, like I said to Sara, I do get that, but Nedan is so so SO underdeveloped. I would be RPing with little more than a name, a job, and a power. Sure he might develop, but he could become basically anything, and he needs to become a character that’s right for this story. So maybe I will do it some time, (I have considered adding him to sch…[Read more]

Wow. You (and your sister) are amazing at building worlds!
Thanks! As a disclaimer, this is by far my most unique world.
Yeah, characters definitely drive the plot forward, which is why it’s such a problem that most of them are underdeveloped. Those are good points about internal conflict too.
Anyway, you also said you d…

I did list white. Iridescence is a good idea. I’ve been thinking of having the white one be like that.

Thanks, that’s all helpful! A dark red, like burgundy, might be good actually. And I could also try a reddish violet color, because the two purple colors I’m using so far are both more cool purples. (I don’t really like warm purples, so that’s why, but I can’t afford to be picky!)

That makes sense to me. I think we’re pretty much on the same page.

This is a new topic for my Celestiar series set on Ildin. I don’t know how many books this will be, because I’ve only been working on the first one. Again, as with the Adonial Saga, “the Ildin Saga” is a working name, but not the final one.
I’m switching my attention from the Adonial Saga to this one. I have a couple reasons why. First of all,…[Read more]

For me the struggle is with the lengths of the notes and not the note name. Especially with shorter notes, it’s often hard for me to tell.

I think @HighScribe is correct. It appeared in my notifs, but isn’t here. It should be in your activity though, so you could get it back that way.

I think that is awesome! I don’t have any theological problems with that. I tend to avoid doing robots and stuff, because I don’t believe that such a creation would have a soul, and I would usually rather avoid writing about those topics. I haven’t thought about how that would extend to a human created in a lab. There’s nothing biological about a…[Read more]

Okay, great! I will warn you that transcribing from sound to written music is probably my biggest weakness as a composer, but if you do post it, I will do my very best. I should be able to figure it out given enough time.

Cloaked Mystery replied to the topic The Chat Chat in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 months, 3 weeks ago
I’m not very good at coming up with lyrics, but I like what you have. I also write music, so if you happened to need help with that part of the process (assuming you are writing music to go with the words), I would be happy to give advice. It might help if you arranged the words in lines. That would at least help me see it clearly, because i…[Read more]

I don’t like to play with sentient and rational robots, honestly those creep me out. The idea of Alpha being originally a a robot made out of flesh came from me just thinking about him. It was really weird, I was talking as Alpha to his best friend Terry and it just spilled out. I was making it up as I went, but it sounded like it was a set piece…[Read more]
