Hm… I like all those as titles, but as the name of a series… I don’t know. The ‘Remember’ Series?
I’ll play around with it some more and see if I can come up with something. I like the chronicles idea, Hope, it’s just so many fantasy stories are the chronicles of something. I may do the something chronicles, though. I don’t know. Thanks for…[Read more]

Arianwen: *taking Quinn’s hand and bowing her head courteously* “Arianwen.”
*Glances around in amused concern, slips hand into folds of long blue mantle.* “Do you suppose that man is quite all right?” *Sees Anna* “My lady! Do you live”— *stops, frowns as ferocious snarling erupts from woods. “Excuse me a moment, Quinn.” *Draws long knife from…[Read more] -

Arianwen: *laughing* “Wait—! I… I’m sorry, sir…don’t you think… never mind.” *Stands staring after Rameaux, eyes sparkling with puzzled, laughing concern. Shakes head finally and turns to Quinn with cheerful smile.*

Great!
Um… how? 😛

I actually thought of that, but the problem is I start at almost the very end of the story, then go all the way back to the beginning… um, let me give some backstory.
This is basically an ‘historical’ series. The first two books are set in the eleventh age (eleven thousandth year) of my make-believe whatever-you-call-it. Then I go all the way…[Read more]

COOL!
I’m up for it. You’ll have to bear with me as I am new to this game, but I want to do this so I’m not going to let that stop me. *nods, clenches fist* I can do this. Just tell me when I do something wrong. 😛

I don’t usually scream for help, but I’ve got a problem here I can’t figure out and I was hoping you guys had some ideas.
It’s really simple.
I need a name for my series. Its current name is ‘Generations’ but that isn’t dramatic enough for me. I just need a word (I’d like to keep it a one word title if I can) that means basically the same thing…[Read more]

Hey, I like that guys. 😀
So are we outlining Walter’s whole story, or just the parts that mark key points in his development?

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Character Café in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 11 months ago
Already I like him. 😉
I guess I should have described Arianwen. She’s probably about five feet ten inches— pretty tall for a woman, but she’s not big, just tall. Dark blue eyes, black hair, very white skin. She wears almost exclusively dark, vivid blue. And she has a pygmy dragon for a companion, but I don’t know if he’ll be popping up or not.…[Read more]

You and I must have been posting at the same time, @writefury. 😀 I understand it now, I think.
So let me be the first to introduce my character. Her name is Arianwen— Anwen for short, except only I and her husband are allowed to call her that. So she’s Arianwen to you.
She’s courteous and mature outwardly, with a quick smile and a gracious…[Read more] -

I’m not sure I’ve quite got the concept, but you can count me in for sure!:P This sounds really fun.

I think it’s just the fact that they are called werewolves that will put someone off. ‘Werewolf’ has a very distinct association in everyone’s mind, and that association is very heavily evil.
I would encourage you to keep looking for a different name. -

That conjures up such a laughable image… 🙂 😀 😛
The Mug and Mushroom Basket.
The Snarling Griffin.
The Sign of the Cat and Cobblestone.

I just want to mention too, @Sarah-h, that werewolves are not mentioned anywhere in the Bible, even though the Bible does contain descriptions of witchcraft and things connected with it that we need to be aware of.
I think if werewolves were real, the Bible would have mentioned them, so I don’t think you need to be concerned on that score. -

“I want shoes,” Cobalt pushed his socked foot out over the edge and raised an eyebrow at his captor.
Dr. Übel blinked, “What?”
“Please. Pretty please.”
“Wait… why do you want shoes?” he asked.
“My feet are cold,” answered Cobalt matter-of-factly.
“But you have socks.”
“My socks are cold too.”*sighs, shakes head despairingly*

First of all, just let me say… this guy Cobalt— I like him. A lot. He’s a distinct, funny personality, well characterized, consistent… and he has the most amazing name. Cobalt Winter. That’s perfect. I love it.
Now.
Overall the scene is very good. There wasn’t really much I could find to pick on generally, but there were a few places…[Read more]
