@allison-grace I follow the system taught by K.M.Wieland. It’s excellent as many others on here will testify. She has written several books on the subject and she has a series of articles on her blog covering the subject as well.

In her system, there are 18 major plot points. I like to have all of these down before I start writing. On top of…[Read more]

@Ethryndal Ohh. Whoa. She looks to be a character all right. Vena LaVere? Right? The name FITS.
Is the genre steam-punk-y? That’s sorta what it feels like, with that dress and the bottle (be it filled with caustic wit or anything else).

This is the thing about Kingdom Pen: You go forever thinking someone is 18, but it turns out, they’re actually twelve or something. This has happened to me on multiple occasions.

@xonos-darkgrate I think the youngest person we have is 13–that’s how old I was when I joined but then time happened so now I’m older…. XD

@xonos-darkgrate As far as the magic goes, I think it probably needs a bit more fleshing out with details, but as long as the power isn’t actually God’s power, but merely a separate power he created, I think you’re on the right track.

As for romance, it’s really up to you. It could be hard to write it without any experience and you do want to…[Read more]

@xonos-darkgrate

Wow, it sounds like you’ve put a lot of thought into all this. I like how it sounds sort of darker and edgier, but still good (as in good is good and will triumph).

@xonos-darkgrate @daeus Maybe it’s that, the power is used by everyone, but depending on who you use it through and for if it’s light or dark or grey. It could be like praying, if you pray to God (the only one you’re supposed to pray to), or to idols or other things.

@xonos-darkgrate Good ideas. The one thing that confuses me is point 1. It sounds strange that Satan could manipulate God’s power. Maybe there’s there’s an outside force of power that God created and controls as a testing ground? I’m sure you’ll figure it all out.

@aislinn-mollisong …I guess I just have a lot of sidekicks. 😀
@catwing 😀 *chairs sit there, awaiting destruction*
@jane-maree *resists taking it all*
Goodnight guys! I’m headed out now!

This is for Tallore, Dyemon’s brother. He’s sort of important.

@aislinn-mollisong
*redoes last part of math section*
If the cat takes one piece of pizza, *redraws cat with wings taking a piece of pizza that is as big as it is* how much is left for The Loyal Sidekick and the Chosen One *draws two adventurers with capes*?

@catwing Here’s my answer to your brother.

*suddenly turns and melt a chair*

@catwing *stands in front of the class and whiteboard*
If we started out with eight pieces of pizza *draws a strange drawing of a pizza* then the cat eats one *draws a cat with wings eating pizza*, how much is left for the dragon? *draws a picture of a dragon begging for pizza*

@xonos-darkgrate This sounds intriguing! And those names are pretty good, except the twins’ names are very similar. That’s probably what you’re going for, of course, but personally I like it when twins don’t have similar names, it makes them seem more individual. But it’s up to you!

And while I don’t really have a problem with making fantasy…[Read more]

@jane-maree *takes all the pizza*
@catwing I is the fiery friend. *grins*

@jane-maree @catwing I’ll join you guys!

@daughteroftheking What I actually do is use ‘Cut’ to snip out the picture I want then treat it as a photo.

@Daughteroftheking it’s worth a shot. 😛

@Ethryndal sweeeeeet.

@xonos-darkgrate what @Daeus said, basically.

Otherwise I think it looks very solid. You seem to already have a lot of thematic material (foils and such) to work with, so you’re starting out with a wide perspective and plenty of stuff to juggle around. Also you seem to know what to do with that stuff, which is always a plus. XD

As for names……[Read more]
