I agree with you about Harry Potter. Another thing is that the characters weren’t exactly learning magic. They were learning how to use their abilities. Magic is genetic, not a way to get into the occult or a fantasy equivalent.

@Linus-smallprint

Probably have him explain the difference between these and other books with magic, t…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint For me, it would depend on what the books have in them. Do they just have characters with cool powers, or are there actual magic spells being used in them, even if those particular spells are fake?

A good example is Star Wars compared to Harry Potter. Both have magic systems I’ve seen Christians complain a lot about. This is my…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint ahh cool! I’m glad that you took notice of my noticing. LOL.

@linus-smallprint ooh! Stripe is certainly interesting. I’d love to see where he goes in the story. Kunulfs are really cool.

oh, and your thing about puns being lost in translation was hilarious. I like how the narrator, whoever he is (or she? It feels like a he for some reason), is actually addressing the reader sometimes.

@linus-smallprint

*Takes spinach ice cream, tries it* Ugh! Why did I suggest anyone should try this?

Um yeah!!! Why on earth did you do that!!

Nearly made me gag.

@ellette-giselle

Book blurbs: tease, don’t summarize with the plot. It should also get the reader really excited and interested, so find a good hook. @linus-smallprint gave some really good advice.

I will not be here to read the new sections until the 23rd since I’m going on a trip, so if you tag me I will likely not respond. The story is goo…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

I’ve been very busy the past few weeks. Sorry it took me so long to show up here. *hands you spinach ice cream* Anyway, I started your story, and I’m really enjoying it!

@ellette-giselle

You’re good, it’s just preference 🙂

@linus-smallprint

I’m an Outliner as far as what I want the story to look like, the conflict, the rough points, etc. Some stuff comes while writing. So, a confident 7/10ths of an Outliner. XD

@linus-smallprint

I knew it.

I KNEW IT!!!

I knew they were the faithful the minute I met Martha and Eric I knew it! I honestly did!

Hmm, I like Stripe. He’s going to be an interesting character.

@linus-smallprint

Not sure why you are apologizing here. Your ideas are welcome.

Maybe the fact that you are the first person to say that to me has something to do with it…… I normally get told to let other people be the authors of their own stories and stick to mine.

@linus-smallprint haha yeah Microsoft’s day calendar thingy can be useful sometimes….

and ha I didn’t even notice that with Alan and Oliver in the beginning.

@keilah-h @theshadow @whalekeeper @linus-smallprint

New scene!

Asher and Eric were only the first of many war orphans who found shelter in the orphanage. On the second day of the two brother’s arrival, a girl came by saying her mother had felt led to give them some children’s clothing and she hoped Sabina could find someone who needed them. Aft…

@linus-smallprint

Ooo, we haven’t met the Kunulfs yet. If they go after Alan (and Oliver) for being lefthanded you can use their terror to scare the reader.

Ok, I’m done giving un-asked for ideas.

Sorry.

😀

@linus-smallprint

By the way, I discovered today is Lefthanders day (according to Microsoft at least). What a coincidence!

But then that makes right-handers day ALL THE OTHER days of the year!!! 😀

@linus-smallprint

When you say you don’t have much to say, you mean it. lol.

Don’t you find it a little funny that Aaron is the one to bring the kids back after being the strongest opposer of the idea?

@keilah-h @theshadow @whalekeeper @linus-smallprint

new section!!!

The days passed, and the people of Ardenta waited in eager anticipation for the Sabbath. They longed to see each other, to hear from Aaron, and to be united in worship once again. At last, the week’s end came.

Early in the morning, before the sun or soldiers were up, the people w…

@linus-smallprint I know, right? Society goes on and on about “inclusion” nonsense, and all the while ignore the people who really should be included.

In video games, especially first-person ones such as shooters or Minecraft-type, I can kinda understand because most people are right-handed and thus game makers design their characters to be…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

Oh, good. I was sure I did.

@linus-smallprint

Yes, I think this will help.

Thank you so much!

@linus-smallprint

Because, your country seems to have a little superstition what with the wizards and all that. In the olden days, (which your book is fantasy so i can’t quite tell the era) People were really cruel to lefties because they believed it was a sign of demonic inhabitants or the practice of witchcraft. Soooo, I thought that might be…[Read more]
