I like the Dragon’s Claw. 🙂

Oh good! I’m glad to hear it was well done. Something like that done ill would be very destructive. I applaud anyone who can tackle such a job and come out on top. 😛

Don’t worry— it doesn’t really hurt Harold. He’s gotten used to it.
And used to being called that. 😉
And I’m glad you like it— I actually went to a fair bit of trouble to come up with a dramatic nickname for him that didn’t sound… well… comic-bookish. 😛

Thank you @writefury! I did sort of do that on purpose— Dallan can’t resist rubbing Harold’s nickname in his face every chance he gets, but maybe I should have made that more obvious or taken it out altogether. 😛

Thank you Daeus. 🙂
I didn’t realize until I posted how long the scene was— sorry to give you such a substantial chunk all at once. 😛The one thing you need to know about Dallan is that he only worships Dallan. If Dallan can further his own interests by saying anything and doing anything, he will, no matter what it is he has to do. He does…[Read more]

I have a scene I would like feedback on. Specifically, if either of the characters seems inconsistent. There’s a lot of backstory here, so a few statements may seem rather vague, but all in all I think it pretty well explains itself.
It’s the middle of the night in an army encampment.Here it is.
“Harold? Harold, is that you?”
Harold jumped and… -

What do you guys think of ‘Children of Memory’ or ‘Generations of Remembrance’? Nothing’s final— I’m still working, but I want your opinion.

Hahaha! My siblings are tough ones. They found literally every jump-rope in the house and wrapped them all ’round and around me until I looked like some sort of… mummy or something. It took me about seven minutes to wriggle free. I’m afraid I fail as Samson. 😉

Yes! I may have to write that someday… notice I’m pointedly vague about when ‘someday’ will happen. 😛
The story could have a co-MC in an aspiring police inspector whose assignment it is to find this terrifying hobby monster and bring him to justice. -

Yes! Definitely. I love the logo. 😀

You know you’re a writer when you let your little siblings tie you hand and foot to a dining chair ‘just so you can know what it feels like’.
Seriously. Do this. 😀

I just had this incredibly random thought I had to share.
What if we have a protagonist with a tragic background that has made him distrustful of people, so he turns to things for companionship— specifically, art. What if we have a shy, tragic art collector whose mission it is to go around saving great pieces of art from those who don’t value…[Read more]

I think a good thing to use as a driving force for a messed up protagonist would be peer pressure. Yeah, okay— preach, Kate, but really. You guys think peer pressure only exists today? No— people were still people back then, you know. 😛
Imagine a count or countess succumbing to peer pressure— all their influence would be thrown into…[Read more]

Arianwen: *sets mouth grimly* “A sorcerer? I have heard of these men of power. They are wholly and utterly evil. I have no strength against them— they have long disappeared out of my land, and are now only an evil rumor of memory. Have we stepped into the past?”

Arianwen scrambles over edge of bank and comes to sudden halt, staring through the last remnants of the thorn thicket into a rocky valley sloping sharply down into the land at her feet. At the far end of the valley is a 1600’s mansion, fenced in with barbed wire and concrete. A road leads through the valley and to the house, then past the house…[Read more]
