@WarrioroftheRealm is there one particular thing that played any defining role in the villain’s life at all? Signets are chosen for their personal significance. It should be something relevant to the character. What one thing really means a lot to him? Perhaps it has some hidden symbolism.

@WarrioroftheRealm hm… let me see. My first idea was, is there any way the villain could have a motive for meeting them without revealing who he is? Maybe he could go and seek them out for that reason (is he curious? Afraid? Daring? Arrogant?) and meet them as a simple traveler, and things escalate from there.
Or maybe he needs to ship something…[Read more]

I got 2006 words today, after starting the story twice and then going over and rewriting the first 500 words. I’ll need to streamline and cut down the story later, but I’m pleased with the voice of the MC so far. 😉

@Daeus I think @Spradlin is rubbing off on you. XD

@Hope lovely. *grins*

Daeus, you should make that the beginning of a satirical piece mashing a ton of different genres together and bending cliches into complete un-recognition.

Here is my work of art for the evening. @daeus, @kate-flournoy, @everyoneelse

@Anne-of-Lothlorien I’ve read a few, like The Princess and the Goblin. I really like them.

@Emma-Flournoy yessssssssss. that. so. much. that.

Oh wait, you’re my sister, you knew I liked that one… 😛

Have a link, guys.

@Anne-of-Lothlorien yes! Proof of Your Love, For the Dancing and the Dreaming, all the Piano Guys’ songs (check out Arwen’s Vigil.) and Edge of Night— I can’t even sing that without getting chills. 😀

A newfound favorite of mine that actually reads more like a hymn than anything else is this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMH0UwzlUL4

@Anne-of-Lothlorien no, I haven’t. He sounds really good though. Is it high fantasy (epic) or heroic fantasy (personal)? Or a mix? LotR is a mix.

Welcome @Sierra-R! Welcome to the best mixture of weirdness, randomness, encouragement, and occasional theological discussion on the internet. You shan’t be disappointed. Though, of course, having stalked us, you know that already. 😉

Welcome to the forum, @Sierra-R— welcome to the bestistest place on the internet. 😉 I have to say I’ve been wanting you to join the forum ever since you won the Picture Prompt Story Contest… what… a year ago? 😛 I really loved that story.
So… it’s about time! XD

@mark-kamibaya Yes, we started using Vidangel recently and it works really well…besides being only $1 for a movie after the original $20 is paid.

Heeeeyyy! In Freedom’s Cause, I’ve read that one. It’s been awhile, but I remember it being not too bad for a Henty.
High praise, I know. 😛

And Scottish Chiefs is definitely worth reading. Not the best written in all aspects by any means, but I still enjoyed it quite a bit.

@Sarah-H

@Dragon-Snapper YAY!!! *balloons, confetti, lemonade, sherbet, cookies, sparkles*
It’s a glorious feeling, isn’t it?

Congradulistactions, @dragon-snapper!!! It is so nice to complete a novel, no matter how many years *coughs* I mean, months, follow. *smirks* I’m so encouraging, aren’t I? Seriously though, congratulations. 🙂 80,000 words is quite the achievement.

I’m done, @bluejay. I got the scene I needed fixed rewritten! How have you done?

@bluejay I’m going to be writing for about half an hour if you are still here. 🙂

@Daeus Pure Genius. Will you permit me to put that quote on a picture (with proper credit, of course)?

@bluejay I have a meeting for the next hour, but I’ll be editing/rewriting for a bit around 9:00ish if you are still on then.
