Agh, this is such a tempting offer! Unfortunately, my plate is kinda full right now, so I don’t think I’d be able to get it done by the deadline. 🙁  I hope you get the feedback you’d like! Congrats on finishing a novel!

And, @gracie-j, thanks for tagging me!

@nova21

lol I may or may not feel very similarly about some of my characters… 😉

@nova21

I’m late (this is a theme in my commenting life rn… *facepalm*), but here are a couple of my MCs’ first lines. As a side note, BRILLIANT idea.

These two say their first three lines in the same scene and to each other. First, there’s Trevor, a moody, brooding bully (cinnamon roll type guy, though he doesn’t know it at the moment). Then,…[Read more]

@abigail-m

Oh, this looks lovely! Thank you for the invite. Hopefully, I’ll be able to read it sometime soon! <33

@zatara

Welcome to the forum!

*cheers* Another pineapple pizza person, yay! And I have to agree with your assessment of Narnia vs. LOTR. Tolkien wins, hands down (He is likely the author I admire most), but I also am and forever will be a Narnia nerd. 😛

Now for the customary welcoming questions:

1) What is your favorite mythical animal?

2)…[Read more]

@akbaer

Welcome to the forum, Annika!

I wholeheartedly approve of your hobbies as I myself enjoy all three of those things! And your book choices are also wonderful (J.R.R. Tolkien is probably the writer I admire most).

Fantasy is very fun to write and to read! Have you by chance read the DragonKeeper Chronicles by Donita K. Paul? It’s a…[Read more]

@maryg3

Oh, wonderful! Til We Have Faces is super good. Ah, I see. I’ve flipped through the first book virtually, but hopefully, I’ll actually get around to reading them someday. 😉

No, I have no read that one! I’ll have to do that someday, though.

Wow, he sounds extremely well written! (And don’t worry. I’m 16 and I still enjoy flipping…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

oy vey… I don’t plan character lies… umm they sorta develop with the character, but the first one in my mind would be Brianna Hakonik;

she was kidnapped as a child and raised in a very dark place and trained as an assassin and ring fighter and with it came a lot of trauma and abuse. As you can guess she’s bitter and agg…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting

My top 3 favorites of Nolan’s works are Tenet, Interstellar, and the Dark Knight Trilogy. Pretty much all of his stuff is phenomenal! I’m beginning to think we have very similar tastes in movies because Tron: Legacy so happens to be one of my favorites also, pretty cool. Parasite was awesome, a modern classic.

You’ve been to…[Read more]

@maryg3

Oh awesome! I definitely got to check these out I haven’t seen most of them. Thank you so much!!!

@devastate-lasting

Hi nice to meet you!

Christopher Nolan as of right now, is my favorite movie director. His stuff is so good. Cool to see someone with similar taste in stories!

As for the questions,

favorite dessert are homemade…[Read more]

@keilah-h

what scenes? I’m confused too now, if you meant which of yours, i liked both scenes!!

no it’s not weird to detail all the species! It’s good to know your characters inside and out so to speak 🙂 they all sound like you put a lot of thought into them!

And as for MCs all being boys I admit it’s my natural tendency to do that too so n…[Read more]

@AKbaer

ahh I see! Well I won’t hold that against you! What about tea?  I like regular black tea with honey and milk!

Yeah new things are sometimes like Bilbo’s description of adventures; “nasty disturbing uncomfortable things! Make you late for dinner!” But they can also lead to incredible opportunities!

Haha sounds like my parents too!

An…[Read more]

@keilah-h

i read the scene you posted and it’s very cool! I like it!

@abigail-m

Sure! I’d be glad to read it!

@godlyfantasy12

If you have the resources, go for it!  No regrets! 😉  If it totally flunks, don’t sweat it.  If it turns out to be the best choice you could have made, yay you! <33 (I think a yt channel would work well for that)

@joy-caroline

Awesome topic, I LOVE this kinda stuff!

Hmmm….  *ponders over which best most devastating character lie to use*

Enter Dylan.  He believes he can’t be loved.  He wasn’t loved or appreciated by his father as a boy, and then he witnessed his mother’s death, which scarred him.  He put all his worth into MMA fighting but didn’t thi…[Read more]
