Cloaked Mystery replied to the topic Magic Systems!! in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 1 month ago
Oh my, I just discovered that Technetium is radioactive. (I guess I sort of knew that, but I didn’t think about it.) That should be interesting to play with. I haven’t decided what power it will have, but it would be interesting for the users to have to worry about getting radiated (although I’m not sure how dangerous it actually is.) Technetium…[Read more]

Thinking about this a bit more, I’m a bit dissatisfied with the ‘mental’ category of powers. I haven’t been able to think of anything cool to do with these, which is especially disappointing because I’m partial to some of the second row metals like Yttrium, Palladium, and Silver. (And then there are also those silly sounding ones like Molybdenum…[Read more]

So, there’s a magic system I’ve been struggling with for a while, and I think I’ve finally got the basic organization of it down, although there’s a lot left to fill in.
It utilizes the first 29 transition metals on the periodic table (the last row are all synthetic. Besides, they have terrible names.)…[Read more]

Lillen will probably work as the setting no matter what. At most we might need to make a dew tweaks.
I think everyone can choose whether or not to use the characters they had or new ones. Regardless, we would start with them just arriving.
The plot probably needs to be changed. It’s kind of a recipe for boredom, because it forces us to g…[Read more]

Alright, @everyone. We need to figure out what we want to do here.
Any ideas?

Cloaked Mystery replied to the topic Character Party! in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 1 month ago
I am also still thinking. You don’t need to wait, because I didn’t have a character in here to begin.

Here it is everyone.
@rae @savannah_grace2009 @highscribeofaetherium @keilah-h @beth-torres @acancello @trailblazer (is that everyone?)
If you want to do the adventure part of the Character Party RP, you’re in the right place. If you want the party part, go back to the original thread.

@everyone
We’re being slow to decide what to do here, so I think I’ll just create a new thread for the RP where we can brainstorm. That way the party people can go on with what they want to do.

Cloaked Mystery replied to the topic The Ildin Saga in the forum Novel Critique Requests 2 years, 1 month ago
Yeah, the more I have the harder it is to think of more ideas, which is quite annoying.
Regardless, I’d say you can perhaps think about how the setting you’ve developed might produce a unique conflict that you can then tie into what a good conflict for one of the characters might be, then move on from there. Although, it may be…

I see you said that you may try the other stories… which might be a good idea if you have more to them. Sometimes it seems that when we’re more excited about one thing more than another, the ideas kinda just stop floating/coming. I don’t know if you’re more excited/interested in any of your others, but that’s how it is for me often.

Whatever you do, do NOT go with option one! I started writing Guardain Angels before I even knew what plot was, and I am paying for it now! The lack of plot in the first draft means my story bounces all over the place, and trying to tame that and weave my plot has created such troubles that I highly do not reccomend writing a story with no i…

Okay, I’ve run into an issue that I should have realized was an issue earlier.
So, when I decided to work on this instead of the Adonial Saga, I thought, ‘I’ve got a fully developed magic system, an interesting and fairly complete setting, I’ve got some charact…[Read more]

“Any sufficiently explained magic system is equivalent to science.” – Jonas (yes, I’m very wise. We can all ignore that this is a not-so clever adaptation of someone else’s saying, as well as the fact that I’ve never said this aloud.)

This is a place to share any wise/inspirational/funny/dumb quotes spoken by anyone, about anything. You can even quote yourself, or other people you know. (Although you should probably have that person’s permission first.)
