That makes a lot more sense. 🙂 Thanks, @livgiordano

Hey, everyone!  Look what I have here!  I made up some place names!

Even worse than character names for me are place names, but here are a few I created out of words smashed together and turned inside out.

1. Pekarefe
2. Keevalon
3. Anlone
4. Bobrindee
5. Roludson
6. Kirkery
7. Lamatern
8. Shalmirax
9. Janrewell
10. Bestinkeral
11. Shestunk
12. Telegon

@livgiordano, My sister’s on Revive, and she really wants to know what Ydub is. I’m on the YWW facebook group, and I really want to know too! Is is another name for YWW? If so, where did it come from???

@mariposa, Wow! Thanks so much! I’m getting a really good image of what my MC (Evelyn) looks like by combining the several sketches you guys are doing. @sage-g, @dekreel. 🙂

@warrioroftherealm Well, it seems to me that in medieval Norse/viking culture they used a lot of v’s, o’s, and k’s.  In England (their main adversary) at the same time, there was a lot of use of the letters “ae” and “th” together, as well as a great many d’s and l’s.

Sorry if this is way to technical.  I am very detailed when it comes to h…[Read more]

@warrenluther04 Here he is! What do you think?

Cole Avis:

As for your fanfiction, I think it might be okay to post it so long as you credit that it’s based off the Star Wars Universe. 😀 If you still have concerns, I’d ask @aratrea or @daeus about that.

@notawriter I totally agree!  Even in the New Testament in the “credits” sections of Paul’s letters there are some unusual names.  I mean, everyone’s heard of the name Aquila, but no one uses it because it sounds a little strange for a boy.

@warrioroftherealm I love making up words! (For instance, the character name topic I started.) How about smogis, longofay, caheloma, or jonjuke?  What type of culture is it?  That might have bearing on what kind of sounds they use in their language.

@Daeus OK.

@Overcomer If you see an Elizabeth Flournoy on your doc then, that’s me, using one of my sisters’ account because I don’t have one. Just so you’re warned, it’s not an intruding bot or anything. 😉 And since it’s technically yours first, if you want I can wait to beta-read it ’til you’ve already done so, ’cause that’d be totally fine. I…[Read more]

Caspin root.

Glaggun…

Hossrot root…

Letlest…

?? Any of those work?

@Daeus Ahh, I remember that post! It was intriguing. I’d like to do it, unless you’re already too swamped with beta-readers, in which case I’d still want to just read it. ;P

@daeus Yes I agree. thanks!

@LivGiordano

Aahh! That does sound disappointing. I like Almanzo well enough, but not to replace the Ingalls. :'(

No, we’re not to Nellie’s marriage yet, but I’m pretty sure it’s in this season (which you probably know, which is probably why you asked. ;P). I can certainly imagine it would be funny.

A NEW FAMILY moves into the Ingalls’ house?!…[Read more]

I just realized another thing. I don’t like when flashbacks are used as plot devices to dump the reader info. But I enjoy seeing the flashback if I was already told the information. Sure, it seems like a waste of time to show if if ya already know it, but I think it can add a little bit of depth that way. Because the character has a flashback b…[Read more]

@waterlily Showing them in a “murkier” way might definitely help! I didn’t even think about changing the feel of it by taking advantage of the visual medium I’ll be using.
@livgiordano I think it is a good idea to have them shorter.. It would feel more natural 🙂 Love to hear your opinions on it from someone who enjoys it. Also glad that most…[Read more]

@inkling-for-christ I would work on developing the internal conflict before handling any exterior threats or things that happen. *shrugs*
Who is the main antagonist? Why? How does it relate to your MC in a painfully personal way?
After all, a story is just about the protagonist and how he grows to defeat the antagonist. But that can mean more…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 As others have said, 6 seems a tad bit cliche. But I hear legends of ways to fix it. Do the unexpected! *throws smoke bomb, leaving only a link to a KP article on cliche’s behind*
“Wait.. Why a smoke bomb? After reading the article, I could do better.”
*throws kitten bomb* Much better. Here’s a differant link to a differant KP article…[Read more]

@sage-g I actually own a few copic caios, though Im not too handy with them(they’re amazing tho) . @notawriter thought you did use some alcohol based markers, but the colors were way too light and blended for my eyes to believe it.
@mariposa The facial anatomy looks amazing!

@rochellaine Yes I’m planning on illustrating it once the writing is finished. I couldn’t do it atm  as I still have so much to learn before tackling it, but I thought it better to start with the writing of the story before mastering my art skills. I actually approached this project because I wanted to do something with my art. It’s like the…[Read more]
