@dekreel WINGFEATHER SAGA!!!!!!!!!!! *attacks you with giant bear hug* I love those books!!! Who’s your favorite character? Which was your favorite book? What did you think of the ending of the fourth book? *realizes I’m still hugging you* *grins sheepishly and backs away* *hopes you don’t think I’m too much of a weirdo*

@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]

Hi, @dekreel 😀

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

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.

@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]

😂😂😂 Haha! I love how you used those parenthetical lines. I’ll have to try that myself sometime.

@salome01w4g That was 20,000 words

@perfectfifths
Content. No language. No sex. Violence: a general description of Aztec sacrifices. Description is not graphic, but if just the idea of human sacrifices makes you sick, then you could have problems with it. One guy has a vision in which he is lacerating himself, though there is not a lot of detail in that part.

Otherwise, this book…[Read more]

@salome01w4g I don’t have a maximum deadline. A week is just my preferred deadline. Within two weeks is not unreasonable to me. However, if I happen to get a lot of volunteers, I would naturally prefer those who can get it done within a week.

@allison-grace What a neat idea!
Here are two quotes I love…

@perfectfifths I don’t have an exact deadline, but if anyone could do it in about a week, that would be optimal.
