Wow. Did I ever need this forum to happen. I just read through my stories’ beginnings, and most of them have almost no hook at all. Peter Pan might like that, but my readers will possibly find them a little dull!

Anyways, this beginning was one of my favorites. It’s from a Marvel fanfic that I’m not really working on right now, but just wanted to…[Read more]

YES! Love opening hooks! 😀
This is one of my favorite ones I’ve done:
“My wormhole experiment took a little bit to actually start working. Which was great that it worked at all, but the thing was that it started right in the middle of class.”
*sigh* I need to write more on that… someday.
Also, there’s a kids’ book one that I love:
*plain, white…[Read more]

That’s funny, @hope and @Kate-flournoy. I don’t have much younger siblings to look after. Still I can listen to a couple of teenage boys interact.

Yeah, I believe you! @kate-flournoy

@kate-flournoy If you’re interested, Mark Twain was first a printer but became a river pilot instead. This experience stimulated him to write Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. The name Mark Twain, which he first used as a newspaperman, came from his riverboat days. Mark twain means two fathoms, a measure of depth of water. (Twain meaning two and…[Read more]

Yep

@reaganramm Try this @kate-flournoy for Reagan’s tag.
And yes, I’ve got the same problem too.

@kate-flournoy Thank you so much! I love getting this kind of feedback!
I have always struggled with punctuation (seriously, just ask my proofreader aka my mom). Word choice… ah yes. The bane of my existence. This entire thing is basically a movie that goes on inside my head, so I forget that I know exactly how it happens but my reader does…[Read more]

Thanks, @kate-flournoy! 😀 I had that idea right after finishing the gingerbread part. I was just “YES I NEED TO DO THIS.”
Yay! I’m so glad you liked it, @jadamae! I love it when non fans still like the fanfiction. 🙂 Still, you should watch the show. 😛

@kate-flournoy Yes, I’m afraid it is. I struggled with it for a bit, but it really is the best (and most traumatizing choice). I’m afraid most of my family is thinking I’m a bit weird because I’ve been talking about how I have to kill someone in my story and they’re all like ‘why?’ So now I’m working on making it as traumatic for everyone else as possible.

@kate-flournoy Yes, I’m afraid it is. I struggled with it for a bit, but it really is the best (and most traumatizing choice). I’m afraid most of my family is thinking I’m a bit weird because I’ve been talking about how I have to kill someone in my story and they’re all like ‘why?’

@kate-flournoy
Cool! That’s actually somewhat along the lines of where I was going with Finnian, so that’s good. 😉

*covers Quinn’s ears* YES. Any… *ahem* suggestions for Quinn’s hardships? 😛

Okay, so my brother pointed out that it would be hard to have the ticking-time-bomb element be the colony’s lack of food without some sort of dip…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy, Ooo! I like it. By the way, you don’t have to ask about giving me feedback. Feedback helps me grow as a writer, and I’m always looking for people who are willing to give it. 🙂

@kate-flournoy, Yeah, when I took the test, the description didn’t sound like me at all. I think I’m ambivert because I usually get pretty even Extroverted and Introverted results.

@kate-flournoy More like I’m setting off psychological bombs that might just happen to hit the target if I throw enough of them.

@kate-flournoy That’s hilarious! 😉

@kate-flournoy, I LOVE suggestions! Yes, please. 🙂

@kate-flournoy

No way, take that test again. 30-1 you’re an ISTP

@kate-flournoy and @sarah-h
Heh. Sorry. I thought I deleted that afterwards.

So there’s this thing on OYAN called spoilers that you can do with coding. It sort of condenses the post size a little and (as the name implies) hides spoilers. I was seeing if it worked on here.
Obviously it does not.
And neither does the delete button.
