@sparrowhawke Ah, ’tis my time to shine.
I’ve read so much manga in the last few years I’m not sure if I should be ashamed or not. At this point I’ve been desensitised to most things so I’m going to watch myself when recommending stuff.
When people ask for reccs usually the first one I recommend is Fullmetal Alchemist! It’s absolutely perfect,…[Read more]

Lin replied to the topic Which story was the quickest to write and which was the slowest? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 10 months ago
Shortest was a quick three page short called “Delusionary” that was based off of a quick two line conversation someone and I had during rehearsal one day. But short stories aside, I can write 50-80k work in 40 days. But that doesn’t count, actually. Which perfectly segues me into…
Longest: “Thirteen Ways to Infinity” is an…[Read more]

Shortest: Not counting short stories, since I can write at least one of those in a single day, the project that took the least time for me was the novel I wrote the first time I officially participated in NaNoWriMo. I wrote around 53k in 23 days. I have no plans to do anything with that novel because it’s kind of terrible and there are very few…[Read more]

God question! I haven’t finished anything yet but here’s what I didn’t finish:
Shortest: a sci-fi WIP that I got more than 20K in in only a few months, but I never needed up finishing cuz I had no plot LOL
Longest: my current WIP. The idea for it came in April/May of this year and I spent a lot of time just brainstorming and right now I’m only…[Read more]

Which story took you the shortest to write and which took the longest? Why?
So for me the shortest amount of time it took to write a novel was 5 months and that was my siblings and my “Cliche Story”.Yuh, yeah. That was the working title that never got change because we wrote it mostly to have fun. Heh. We purposely wrote it to be as cliché as…[Read more]

@issawriter7 Tbh, I haven’t read a ton in that genre either XD I love the creativity the genre has to offer though! (Oo really? I definitely need to get a copy of it. It sounds amazing!!)
Eeek that makes me really happy!! I absolutely have plans to publish! I am only 12 chapters in at the moment, but this story holds such a warm place in my…[Read more]

Awwwww, Ella, I am SO, SO, SO, SO sorry to hear that. 💔 I had covid over a year ago, so I can DEFINITELY relate (except my school was online, so I somehow managed to be sick with covid and keep up with school all at the same time… don’t ask me how). I just wanted to let you know that (1) you’re not alone and (2) I’ll keep you in my…[Read more]

Issabelle Perry replied to the topic Any Urban Fantasy clean book recommendations? in the forum Book Discussions 4 years, 10 months ago
I’ve just recently been introduced to urban fantasy, so I haven’t ever read any books, as knowledge serves, that are in that genre. (I believe I heard someone say @e-k-seaver novella The House That Didn’t End was urban fantasy. I *sniffs* sadly haven’t gotten my copy yet, but I think it’ll be REALLY epic!!!)
Anyway, urban fantasy’s…[Read more]

First book. You either enjoy or you don’t. I liked the writing style, the world, and the characters, but I will admit the plot could have been stronger. (Although I personally enjoyed it.)
Second book. Developes the character flaws we got a glimpse of in the end of the first book. Stepping stone to the next books yes, but this is where the story…[Read more]

I think the message is clear: READ ON. IT GETS BETTER AND IS TOTALLY WORTH IT!
🙂 😉
And considering this was his first venture into fantasy, and the last book was written after ten years of thought, the series definitely gets better.

I’ll tell you as soon as the first draft is beta ready, and I will be needing help along the way. Thank you!
Exactly. Sometimes I want to smash the computer.
Ok, I will rephrase that. Thank you! (I enjoyed writing that part. The epilogue is vaguely based off of the book And God Was There.)
Oh good! I love writing transliterated…[Read more]

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin
I understand if the series isn’t for you. We were actually very sceptical of it at first, especially of the fangs. I also see where the first book could be cliche or slow. He uses many plot points we are all too familiar with, and there are a few things that are a bit unrealistic. Then, why do I like them? Well,…[Read more]
