@Daeus depends on what kinda critique you’re looking for. Would it be basically the same stuff as we did with Fools in the Darkness?

Hi, @dekreel 😀
Is your profile picture from anything in particular? It reminds me of a Redwall character.

You know you’re a writer when you’re decided whether you want to include someone’s backstory or not, and decide to do so not because it’s fun to write, but because it’s heart wrenching and when you say so, your sister says only this, “Sigh.”

@jess What Kate said. Basically, either the loss your character experiences needs to be necessary for them to become a better person or the ending is just plain tragic, but a side character learns something valuable from it and the readers are left with a lot of hope for that side character.

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic How does one write an unhappy ending? in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 8 years, 11 months ago
@Jess lovely topic. I have a lot of thoughts on unhappy endings, but I haven’t got time to consolidate them all now, so I’ll just leave you with the biggest two.

Content. No language. No sex. Violence: a general description of Aztec sacrifices. Description is not graphic, but if just the idea of human sacrifices makes you sick, then you could have problems with it. One guy has a vision in which he is lacerating himself, though there is not a lot of detail in that part.Otherwise, this book…[Read more]

@salome01w4g I don’t have a maximum deadline. A week is just my preferred deadline. Within two weeks is not unreasonable to me. However, if I happen to get a lot of volunteers, I would naturally prefer those who can get it done within a week.

@perfectfifths I don’t have an exact deadline, but if anyone could do it in about a week, that would be optimal.

Mornin Gents and Gentesses,
I wrote a short story recently that I’d like to find some beta readers for.
It’s a slice of life story as well as inspiration fiction in the broad sense of the term and kiiindaa romance, depending on how you look at it.
Its length is 8,900 words.
Let me know if you are interested. 🙂

@Catwing No dragon hoard? …Well, for those poor dragons of the lesser class *inspects talons* they usually spend their time lazily sleeping as you said. Doing nothing. There’s a reason they have no gold.
