Love the covers, y’all!!! 🙂 Unfortunately, my only cover design has an old title on it, and the image I used doesn’t really work with the new title. Guess I need to design a new one! XD

Those are wonderful lines!!! (And I suddenly pity Wilfred’s poor journal😛😉)
Fanfics really are fun. It’s a chance to stretch your abilities as a writer! 🙂
My fanfic follows Helmer in the months following King Jupiter’s defeat. I think it’ll probably span from a week or two after the defeat to sometime after arriving at Clou…[Read more]

Yeah, you’re not wrong about helmets😅. But my character doesn’t wear one as part of his design, probably for the reasons you just stated, though I never really thought about it before … however, the armour he’s wearing is ceremonial armour, not battle armour — it’s a sign of status, not a tool of strength. And the boy on the left actual…[Read more]

Thanks!
I love your compositions — it really evokes this feeling of wistfulness, or determination — the mood tells a story. I love the last one, and I think it’s cool you work in coloured pencils! I’ve done a lot of coloured pencils drawings before. Good job!

I love your collage! It’s definitely got me intrigued about your story.😊
Yes, art that you can feel satisfied with is sooo rewarding…
I love the second one you put up (which you said you’d done first), but since I don’t know your story, I can’t say whether the darker and more ominous aesthetic — which makes it feel lik…[Read more]

Thank you so much! The girl on the top of the cover is Princess LÃna Veh-Jûranal of FérÄ«jinar, Lily of the Oasis. As to what she’s worried about … that’ll have to remain a secret, until my 2nd book is finished 😉😁.
Yeah … I wanted to have ‘The Prince of WalfKlau’ at the top, and originally I did, but then I realised that i…[Read more]

Hi Everyone! I’ve been making some rough sketches of my first two book covers, which I thought I’d share and hear whether you thought they looked good or not, and I thought maybe you guys would like to share your covers too, if you have them! It could be fun!


Book 1 and Book 2.
So I’ll go ahead and tag a bunch of people:

Is it sad if I say my favourite Christmas movie is a toss between Veggietales’ St. Nicholas, and the Donut Man’s Christmas episode? Both were such a great part of my childhood, I just get fond memories whenever I watch them. I found the Nativity pretty good as well. Oh, and I recently enjoyed Christmas with the Chosen.

@scipter-of-kingdoms
I have read the Four Swords Manga, actually.🙂 It was the second one of the mangas I got. I liked the characters in terms of all the Links, but it was probably my least favourite of the mangas I’ve read because of the whole ‘dark world’ thing — I just wasn’t okay with that concept.
My favourite Zelda manga is still probably…[Read more]

I don’t have magic either😃 Which made me seriously doubt whether my book could even be classed as fantasy, especially since I also don’t have mythical creatures or monsters. But I’ve decided my book does fit in that genre — mostly cause I can’t think of any other genre it would fit in. It’s a fantasy type story — kinda like Avatar the La…[Read more]

The Hermit. Yes.😂 I love Horse and his Boy …
I don’t think it’s plagiarism, though. Your story will be different to mine in a thousand other ways, so I don’t think it really matters if some of our names have similarities.

I saw you post recently, and wondered if you knew this topic existed — I had tagged you, but there’s a chance the link(😂) didn’t work.
Just cause I know you love Zelda games.😊

Hi @joy-caroline !
I love this topic, cause it’s something I get quite insecure about. That is, I want to write clean stories from a Christian worldview, but I don’t want my stories to be all about faith and religion. I just want them to be good stories, if you know what I mean — I write YA fantasy. My sister tells me it can’t be classed as YA c…[Read more]

Also, Ava is such a pretty name😊

Well, I only kind of read The Archer’s Cup… 😛 I started in the middle and skimmed through the rest. I thought it was good; not my favorite book in the series, but definitely better than some other books I’ve read. 😉
Oh, that is so cool! The GE actually series inspired me to start a fanfic, too! I haven’t worked on it in month…[Read more]
