Um… can I do plays??? XD Shakespeare’s Richard II coupled with Henry IV— don’t know if you’ve read them, but Henry IV is the continued story of Richard II. They’re directly linked.

Anyway.
The negative character arc for Henry Bolingbroke (later Henry IV) begins when he is charged with high treason and banished overseas by the inexperienced…[Read more]

Welcome @Gabriellemassman! 😀 Glad to have you here!

Ooops, or third, apparently. XD

Hello, Gabrielle! Let me be second to welcome you. 😉
I’m actually a fellow Tolkienite and I had never read that poem… I just went and looked it up and now I’m choking. THAT. IS. AMAZING. I have a new favorite. Thanks so much for recommending it!

And your book sounds lovely. Welcome to KP. 🙂

For those of you surprised they didn’t do better, thought I’d point out that this test is a knowledge quotient test, not necessarily a judge of how deep your vocabulary is. Most of the words on that list I could have figured out just by dissecting their roots, but as I was supposed to click the ones I knew I let them lie. Also, though this…[Read more]

I got 24,400… sorta surprised. I thought I’d do better than that, but, I did get a higher score than @daeus, soooooo I guess I’ll be content with that. 😉 (…assuming you actually did get 21,400, which, frankly, I’m not buying it)

*gulp* XD I almost spelt it like that! And then I second guessed myself… *sigh*

Tattoine. 😉

@Dragon-Snapper *digs claws into her keypad, hisses fire* STAY. AWAY. FROM MY PRECIOUS. BEN. SOLO. YES HE IS THE VILLAIN. WHICH WILL MAKE HIS REDEMPTION A HUNDRED TIMES MORE BEAUTIFUL. AND IF I COULD THROW THAT MASK INTO A SARLAC PIT AND NEVER SEE IT AGAIN I WOULD.

And I would actually be incredibly relieved if Rey is a Kenobi, because I don’t…[Read more]

@Ethryndal YAYAAYYYYYYY!!!!!! WELCOME TO THE TINY WORLD OF THE KYLO REN FANDOM. *hugs you*

*siiiiiigh* Don’t listen to him.

@Aratrea @Daeus sorry, not buying it. From either of you. XD

Well that was fun… 😀 My result was 31,300.

@Sierra-R

Well that was fun… 😀 My result was 31,300.

@Emma-Flournoy FREAKS???!!! D: *eternal weeping*

@Ethryndal oh boy, I hadn’t even thought of that angle. 😛 Thanks a lot. XD The LotR films had their share of problems and didn’t come anywhere close to the books, but I still loved them, and I’m still trying to figure out how the same man directed the Hobbit films. Maybe we should start a rant thread just for that. 😛

@Daeus ah, okay. Got it. *tries to remember where she got her information**fails*

My pleasure, @Dragon-Snapper! Glad it was helpful. 🙂

I have not traditionally published yet, though I want to at some point. So I really don’t have experience with how hard it is, though I don’t think it is particularly easy. I do know one thing they look at now is an author’s platform. Even traditionally published authors are expected to market most of their own work, so the better platform you…[Read more]

@Charisetter what they said, but YOU’VE READ EAGLE OF THE NINTH!??? *high fives you* Nobody’s read that! Congratulations on your impeccable taste! 😀 Have you read the other two?

Also one tip for your original question— since this is fantasy, your worldbuilding and cultural development will go a long way to making your story unique. Not as…[Read more]

@Aysia-Serene @Daeus I could be wrong, but I think a beta-reader is more specifically a READER, not a writer— not to give you feedback as a writer or editor would, but as a reader would. Which means technically, everyone on KP who exchanges reads for each other, is a critique partner, not a beta-reader. Beta-readers are specifically to sound out…[Read more]
