That’s actually a good idea, drawing the characters like that. 😀 Pretty much like that, from six angles (front, left, back, right, top, maybe bottom… Eh… you could probably get away with only four :P), only with the character design.

Okay, that’s annoying. That’s why I use a mirror modifier when I model symmetrical things… Except…[Read more]

@Ethryndal That recurve picture looks almost exactly like the recurve we use.

Secondly, you really have researched archery. Impressive. Most impressive.

@That_Writer_Girl_99 *shoves spectacles up on nose quite scholarlyly* I back up what she said. Mostly because my dad’s an archer and several of us amateur archers, so I know at least the basics.…[Read more]

@warrenluther04 Posting fan fiction is fine so long as you label it fan fiction.

@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.

@rochellaine

Believe it or not, it’s for a medieval fantasy in a territory similar in language to norse/viking culture.

@dragon-snapper

I like Caspin root!

@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]

@warrioroftherealm

Caspin root.

Glaggun…

Hossrot root…

Letlest…

?? Any of those work?

@emma-flournoy Sure. You can share Mallory’s doc if you want. 🙂

@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

@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]

@itisastarrynight I think one big thing that makes flashbacks seem cheesy is when the chapter before the flashback ends with something like, “he remembered the time thirteen years ago when blakedy blank blank…” If you can avoid that, it should really help.

You know you’re a writer if you get excited when you see the “You Know You Are a Writer When…” topic has been updated.

@overcomer Great. 😀

Here’s a doc for you. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BIHK8v-ag07-tPraj6QWrbf_BVN2P_PjySIw87Ljfyg/edit?usp=sharing

If you’re still looking for readers, @daeus , I’m more than willing.  My local libraries have been a desert lately, so I’m good and bored and full of unrealistically high expectations.

Which means I’m ripe for giving criticism– er, feedback. 😉 🙂

@dekreel @jadamae Hmm… So I can see in the “Character Name Exchange” thread that the edited post was marked as spam. What happens if you try to edit the first post of the thread? Does the whole thread disappear?

@gh24682468999 I don’t recommend making your story short just to write a short story. Make the story as long as it should be. A story should be short when the concept, plot, etc are simple enough that a short story is all that is needed; a story should be long when the concept, plot, etc need more room to flourish.

Setting is important for any…[Read more]

@gh24682468999

Heh. You tagged me.

Welp, writing short stories is actually really difficult for me. The only thing harder than writing a short story for me is coming up with a character’s name. XD

But I’ll give you what advice I can from the few successful times I’ve written or read short stories.

So, if you do have a big story world, don’t…[Read more]

@waterlily  This does sound like a neat concept! The only thing that doesn’t quite make sense to me is how the seawyrms could have her family crest marked on them? Am I just misunderstanding? Of course, when you go to write this you can definitely explain in better detail. XD
