Linyang Zhang replied to the topic Some questions about characters in the forum Characters 2 years, 9 months ago
1. Plenty.
2. For any of them probably just number 4.
3. Worst, like, most evil or worst written? I feel like I’ve read/watched a lot of awful villains, but I can’t really think off the top of my head the most evil.
4. A lot, haha, but then I warp them enough that no one can recognise them.

I started entering competitions and submitting work to magazines/anthologies when I was about 13 I think? I’m pretty sure I was first published at 14, and then had several other publications after that.

@scoutfinch180 Interpolation is when your mind fills in the gaps, for example, you read a brief description of a character but a few pages later you already have their face in your mind. It’s pretty cool!

@kathleenramm Hmmm most recently probably comes from my English professor. Probably: “If there’s an upper word count limit then it means that this assignment can be done very well and with quality in this word count or under.” I guess overall, length isn’t everything.
Oh, and there was talk about interpolation and sensory description and…[Read more]

@faith-q You need to write at least one short story under Vierra F. Spring, and no one will understand except that one person who laughed at you.

SeekJustice replied to the topic Have you ever considered writing under a pseudonym, and why or why not? in the forum Topic of the Week 2 years, 10 months ago
I was seriously considering using a pseudonym for several years, but I decided against it for a couple of reasons. One being that I started getting published when I was quite young, so my real name was already out there. I’ve won competitions under Chelsea Hindle, been published in magazines, and obviously did my internship here with that name, my…[Read more]

@kathleenramm I use a pen name, since I don’t really like other people knowing my real name, though for pieces I write in real life situations I use my real name. I think it’s cooler to have a name that I chose for myself, and it gives off the kind of vibe I want to give off.

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic I'm giving you permission to rant about your WIP in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 10 months ago
@joy-caroline Currently can’t think of anything much, but I do have a short story idea that I’m expanding on, about a hitman hired to take out world leaders over enacting a law about teleportation.

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic My Series Keeps Growing! in the forum Fantasy 2 years, 10 months ago
@godlyfantasy12 One time I started a five book series that turned into thirty-six books and now is sitting at fifty-books and boy can I tell you I am sure glad I am out of ideas. Every day I lament over my former self’s cruelty towards me, but alas, I must finish this. Pros: I have greatly increased my writing speed. Cons: This is going to take a…[Read more]

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic Introduction in the forum Start HERE 2 years, 10 months ago
@glorifychrist Yeah, I’m currently working on two long projects and a short story.
We have a lot of authors here who know about self publishing! You’ll probably meet them at some point, haha.

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic Introduction in the forum Start HERE 2 years, 10 months ago
@glorifychrist That sounds great! I’d love to hear more about your work!
I write fiction, usually crime/slice-of-life/fantasy, and I’m always working on long projects and short projects.
What are you hoping to do with your projects once they’re finished?

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic Introduction in the forum Start HERE 2 years, 10 months ago
@glorifychrist Welcome! What a coincidence, I just finished CWW as well! It’s great to have you here! I’m Linyang, though most here call me Lin.
What kind of things do you like to write? Is there any particular project that you’re working on now?

- Silver Spoon – A funny yet deep series about farm school; really hit hard with graduating high school and all, by the author of Fullmetal Alchemist so I highly recommend it
- 20th Century Boys – A classic story of good versus evil, one of the most emotional pieces I have ever read, another one of Naoki Urasawa’s best works

@trahia-the-minstrel Hm… Well, pretty much everything I can think of has swearing in it, so I’m afraid not a lot of my reccs will be completely clean. Yotsuba&! is one of my favorite wholesome slice-of-life mangas with no anime adaption, about a little girl, so it should be enjoyable for adults, and probably for kids as well. Other than that,…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Don’t feel bad, I can hardly read anything besides manga now. But for the sake of this discussion I’ll leave manga out of it.
