@Daeus Yeah…I haven’t even read any Doyle. 😛

@WarrenLuther04 I think I can safely say that’s the oddest story idea I’ve ever come into contact with. 😛 Sounds like fun.
Aaaand this may be cliche, but the instant I saw ‘cat’ and ‘villains’ all I could visualize is dogs, dogs, and more dogs. :”D Poor creatures.
I actually really like the rats idea though. XD
You could also make it a…[Read more]

@Joy *nods* He’s clever. He does our courses. Listen to him. *nods again*

Hello @WarrenLuther04, and welcome to the bestistest place on the internet! 😀 What’s your favorite genre? To read and write? What kind of music do you like?

As for the stories question, let me just direct you to our publication guidelines. 🙂

I have to warn you, guys are severely outnumbered on this forum, so beware. *grins* As the forum…[Read more]

@Rolena-Hatfield didn’t figure it could. 😉 Thanks anyway.

@joy Well, let’s disregard thematic depth then because that can be fixed. In that case, Queen of Thorns or Aethra Falls seem like the two best options.

@kate-flournoy Unfortunately that’s something that can’t be changed :/

@joy I can see why you’re torn. Those all sound like great ideas, only the second one is a little scattered in that I don’t see how it all connects as well as with the others. I probably have a tie between 1 and 3, with four sounding great too.

I’ll just offer a few questions that might help you pick one idea to go forward with.

1. Which idea do…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy Henty is the worst, but Arthur Conan Doyle was high in mind too. Though I do like Doyle actually.

@That_Writer_Girl_99 I still haven’t had a chance to read that. D: Sorry… I should get to it soon. But just for now, Imma risk @Emma-Flournoy‘s wrath and say if you don’t like third person, don’t use it. First person mightn’t have the scope third person does, but for those who can write it well it makes up for that in depth. I’m going to hazard…[Read more]

@Joy … and I’m supposed to tell you which one to pick??? *tears out hair* Those all sound awesome! 😛 I really, really like Aethra Falls. All the others are still great ideas, but that one is definitely my favorite.

…..weird…

@that_writer_girl_99 No, I don’t know if it can be changed. It’s possible @rolena-hatfield might be able to change it though.

Yep. What he said.

@Joy Made me cry too. 😛
Yay! I’m sure you’ll like it.
Glad you’ve got the tags down. What Daeus said and what I said were two different methods but they’ll both show you the tag. It’s just a little more convenient to mouse over than to go to a new page, but whatever works. 😀

And a note on the tags—some of them have dashes in between words. Like mine—instead of @Emma Flournoy, it’s @Emma-Flournoy. @ Emma is the tag of another user. 😀 If you mouse over someone’s profile pic you can see what their tag is in the bottom left corner of the computer screen. The tag isn’t always the same as the user name.
It’s kinda…[Read more]

@joy Not quite. Click the blue text below a person’s profile picture (it’s their name). On that new page, right next to their profile picture, is their tag.

@Joy I know, he’s amazing! Not at all bad as Thorin either. XD Have you seen LotR and The Hobbit?
Ah yes, I haven’t seen Poldark or Downton Abbey but my parents love them. 😀

Yep, Kate is the sister right above me. I’m third in a family of 11 kids. Homeschooled of course. 😀 And I’m not actually a writer but I sorta hang around in the same…[Read more]

@allison-grace It’s possible you might want to change some things. I can’t say for sure.

I’ll just give some general thoughts on allegory. The main point of allegory is to get us to view something we already know about with a fresh mind. Because of this, your allegory shouldn’t be immediately obvious or predictable. This doesn’t mean that we…[Read more]
