Yep. What he said.

@joy Not quite. Click the blue text below a person’s profile picture (it’s their name). On that new page, right next to their profile picture, is their tag.

@allison-grace It’s possible you might want to change some things. I can’t say for sure.

I’ll just give some general thoughts on allegory. The main point of allegory is to get us to view something we already know about with a fresh mind. Because of this, your allegory shouldn’t be immediately obvious or predictable. This doesn’t mean that we…[Read more]

@joy Yep, this is a great place for that type of thing.

@Allison-Grace hey! Welcome to KP. 🙂
While I agree with every point made in that video, I don’t believe that just because a story has a few (or even all, necessarily) of those ‘cliche’ elements that it’s a bad allegory.
What do I mean by that?
Well, the problem with cliches is that so often they’re written just ‘because that’s the way things are…[Read more]

I’m an INFP, btw. 😉

*hugs you because you not only knew your MBTI type but assumed we would all understand what you were talking about as well* I love you already. 😛

What’s your favorite genre, @joy?

Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet, @joy!

You’re the second person to join the forum because they found us through Pinterest. I guess that social media stuff works. 😛

Do you have a book you’re working on at the moment?

@anne-of-lothlorien I can only say hello, goodbye, and MacDonalds….

@That_Writer_Girl_99 sorry I missed you. 🙁 Keep tagging me… eventually I’ll be here at the same time. 😛

@koryn-koch Welcome to your bestistest place on the internet. Is your name pronounced Core-in? It sounds nice and crunchy. 😀

If you do get a chance, A Tale of Two Cities is my second favorite book. The Count of Monte Cristo is the first.

Heyyyyy @Koryn-Koch, and welcome to the bestistest place on the internet!

YOU LIKE LES MISERABLES? HAVE YOU READ IT??? I haven’t seen the musical but I adore the book. What are a few of your other favorites? Have you read A Tale of Two Cities?
What genre do you prefer to write in?

Once again, happy to have you here. 😀

@mark-kamibaya So that’s what brainstorming looks like.
Awesome.

Yikes, I’m late.
Bad llama.
Anyways.
Hi, Addie! Welcome to KP! It’s great to have you here!
Word of warning in case you haven’t been warned. Watch out for dragons. 😛

@winter-rose If you’re still there, I’m joining in for an hour.

@winter-rose That would be fine. I would, however, ask that if you do that, please let me know right away if you think there’s anything major that needs fixed (i.e. a character isn’t coming across right, a scene should be structured differently, I have a consistently recurring stylistic problem etc). I’d like to be able to get to major problems right away.

@leumeister Whatever works, right?

@daeus When you mentioned the hills, I did think of Tolkien too. He does linger on his descriptions.
*hides in dragon hoard*
I will not tell anyone. 😛

@dragon-snapper The geography part was mainly a poke at Tolkien by the way. 😉 Just don’t tell anyone that.
