@koshka Your cat character sounds so cool! I love that kind of story, with animals which are almost humanoid, but not quite.

@faith-q Yeah, Picket was cool. And at the end, after he loses his arm and his niece is sentenced to “100 tickles for spreading dandelion seeds all over his garden”…..

Picket: “I’ll try to carry out the sentence, but I have only one arm, and one hand on that arm.”

Heather: “If you had two hands on one arm that’d be weird.”

Picket: “Depends on…[Read more]

@thelobsterlover Thanks! I’m trying to decide whether I should give you a character I made up from a fanfiction or a character from an original story….

Also, I love your forum tag. I do that all the time……ah, poor Feather, or Sheerasight, or Terabyte (although that one was my brother’s fault as much as it was mine). And then there’s the…[Read more]

@koshka Thanks!

@lydia-s Your story sounds SO COOL.

@thelobsterlover Ooh! Hmm, I’m trying to figure out which character I should do.

@e-k-seaver Sounds awesome!

@joy-caroline @elishavet-pidyon Now I want to describe my characters from Into the Forbidden Cavern! I’ll just do the members of the Starcatcher family for now….. I haven’t done much on the characters yet, I’m still trying to figure out the world, so you’ll notice there’s a bit of “probably” or “I think” in the descriptions.

@power Ooh! Sounds cool!

@koshka It was better than I expected, although it did have a dreary tone. And I actually don’t know how old Rand’s books are, but I know they’re not new.

@joy-caroline Thanks! It was actually pretty easy for me.

@annabelle Thanks! Yeah, I love making up animal-human combinations for some reason. My brother hates them, but I think they’re so cool.

@koshka Yeah, I can totally get that feeling, but for me it’s the opposite: The oldest pieces of literature that I know for sure I’ve read are LOTR, Narnia, Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven,” and one or maybe two of Ayn Rand’s dystopias (but those aren’t that old, right?). I was actually reading Ayn Rand’s book Anthem because I wanted to get ideas…[Read more]

@annabelle Thanks! The Dragonmen and Ailurids were actually created for fanfictions, where I wanted to insert human characters in place of the animal characters but I loved the animal dynamics. Plus, wings and tails and cat ears just look plain cool. The Raptaurs were something I made up entirely for a story I wrote but never quite finished, which…[Read more]

@koshka A cyborg is a creature, usually human (or in Alan’s case a dragonman), who is partially made out of mechanical parts. Usually cyborgs come into being after a human/dragonman/whatever was badly injured somehow, often as a result of battle or an accident, and their missing body parts are replaced with mechanical ones. I didn’t make that…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 Crazy author brain!!!! Finally someone else who is like that! For me, my biggest thing is a lengthy Warrior Cats fanfiction. The real series has, like, 70 books counting side stories, so I’m glad I haven’t gotten to that point yet, but honestly I think I’m just giving every one of my favorite or most emotionally/physically tortured…[Read more]

Ooh! @joy-caroline I’ll do this!

So I actually haven’t written a word of Into the Forbidden Cavern yet. I’m still doing the worldbuilding. (I actually created an alphabet for my Dragonmen species a few days ago. I’m not Tolkien and never will be, but I thought it’d be fun to see what I could come up with.)

Want to hear all about it?

There are…[Read more]

@autumn-rebecca You have a pretty name!

My name’s Keilah. I like writing fanfiction* (loads and loads of it), but I’m not sure if that counts as a genre. Besides that, I like science fiction and fantasy. I’m trying to worldbuild on a universe I’m going to set my dystopian/sci-fi/fantasy series in. Have you ever created a fictional universe, and…[Read more]

@avacoulter All right then!

@elishavet-pidyon Sure does! And actually, I digitally traced him from a picture, colored him in, and added my own personal touch. But thanks!
