Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Alternative Historical Fiction Book Premise in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 10 years, 2 months ago
@Claire-C it sounds very interesting— not the typical nurse/patriot/combat story premise, which perhaps is what you meant when you said ‘alternative… premise’?

Oh yes, as for making up creatures, The Dark Sea Annals have plenty of interesting animals and races. The first one is called Sword in the Stars and the second is called The Errant King. *lowers voice* Read them, @daeus.

I’m on, @anna-brie! I’ve added both you and Aella94 as writing buddies, so you should be able to find me. 😀

Hope Ann replied to the topic Fantasy books in the forum Book Discussions 10 years, 2 months ago
Lord of the Rings tops the list of epic fantasy, of course. And I really enjoy The Dark Sea Annals by Wayne Thomas Batson. They are very high fantasy and allegorical. There is some ‘magical’ stuff in there, but it’s not magic, per say. More like gifts and abilities people have been given, and then there are those who use their gifts for evil…[Read more]

@Daeus ha. 😀 Done. I’ve forgotten it already.

Awesome @Dragon-Snapper. I’m afraid I didn’t get much of anything. 468. *sigh* It might be because I reeeeaaaaaaallllllllyyyyyyyy want to get to the next scene… and my brain doesn’t want me to. 😛
What did you get @Daeus?

Did one of you mention Redwall?? I love Redwall! can I just say that your art is awesome and I would love to hear more about this fan-fic.
@anne-swiftblade Yes I did! And thanks 🙂 I’ll tag you in a status sometime and tell you.

Ugh @Dragon-Snapper I can’t stand Snoke. *shudder* I’m glad you find him intriguing, though. The more you find intriguing, the more you have to look forward to. 😉
@Anne-Swiftblade that would have been neat too… revealing his face just then. But then you might have an overbalance of mystery. Not to mention we only really start getting seriously…[Read more]

@anna-brie Ah, so that’s the problem *runs to check* *nods sagely* Yep, I’ve only ever done camp nano, so I guess I’m not official yet. 😉 The site isn’t letting me get on right now for some reason, but I’ll try again tomorrow and notify you when it’s all set up.

Here’s a non-anthro one for you. A chibi Flash XD I took this picture with my dad’s smartphone instead of scanning it so it may show up different.

Ooo, those are cool. I love 1st, 2nd, and 4th one especially. I wish I could draw my own characters that well. *sighs* I guess I’ll settle for pinterest. What type of story is this?
@hope Thanks! 😀 It gets easier if you have a style to copy off of and if you practice a lot.
It’s a Redwall fanfiction-type thing, probably a web serial past t…[Read more]

Lightningmouse replied to the topic Where do you live? in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 2 months ago
@lightningmouse The Americans might not be interested, but the Aussie is. What’s it like where you live???
XD
It’s a kinda strange mix of hills, woods, and suburb. I live in the eastern part, right at the edge of the megatropolis (it can be called that, at least from what I’ve read, because of the constant collection of very close towns g…[Read more]

When you have that gap in your novel totally figured out, neglect to write it down, and then forget everything you came up with and have to start from scratch O_o

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Ren in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 2 months ago
Yeah, I kinda like that too. But I don’t think that’s how it’s going to turn out, what with all the mystery and stuff in her backstory. :/

Oh and Hannah, yes. Finn did change the way I saw Stormtroopers very much.

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Ren in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 2 months ago
@His-Instrument @Daeus I totally agree with everything that has been said. (Like you needed my stamp of approval. I’m giving it anyway).
And yes, Hannah, I totally root for Gollum. Don’t worry. We’re weird together. 😉The thing I’m most worried about with Ren is the general incompetence of script-writers. (I know. So cynical). This character…[Read more]

@jadamae Same here! I’m in the southeast, but not too far south. Sort of hills-and-valleys area. 🙂 I saw in the Where do you live topic that you’re near Amish country?
Cool XD I always thought Bird-in-Hand was a cool name, y’know? 😀 I’m between Allentown and Philadelphia-ish.
*comes back way too far into the future* I’m so sorry I took this long. I can be terrible at this punctuality stuff.
Well, I mainly like to write sci-fi and fantasy stuff, though I have ideas for steampunk stuff. As for interests (other then writing), I like to play my guitar a lot, eat food, listen to music, sleep, and draw. Not always in that…[Read more]
Yep; it’s sort of a smaller genre, but some people think it’s gonna get more popular after another few years or so.
I am! That sounds cool XD
Actually that isn’t all that weird. I’m a guy, but I’ve been accidentally referred to as a girl on the internet before 😐 Huh. Anyways yeah 🙂
