@Dragon-Snapper *high fives* GO FORTH AND CONQUER, FELLOW DRAGON. *FIERCE BABY DRAGON EYES*

@Catwing love it! 😀

@princessfoo “How to Survive Sudden Transformation into Another Universe and Come Back in Mostly One Piece.”
^^This is an awesome title.

@revayah1 Yep! Quick note on tagging: some people like me are weird and have a tagging name that’s different from their display name (mine is @aratrea). To find someone’s tag, just click their name to see what it is on their profile, or if you hover over their name and look at the web address it links to, the last part of that web address should…[Read more]

@perfectfifths Got it. A slow process like that can definitely be very effective and I’d recommend that as a natural way to do it. You may find, though, that it still helps to have a specific moment after the slow trust process where Amrei is forced to make a decision and chooses to trust Nylian at a pivotal moment to really hammer Amrei’s change home.

Welcome to the site @Revayah1! Glad you found us. 🙂 Yeah, there’s a pretty large INFJ percentage both on the forum and on the staff (though I think ENFJ is the most popular staff type at the moment…) Needless to say you’re in good company. 😉

Also tagging @christi-eaton for the Mark of the Lion reference.

@Dragon-Snapper *looks at crazy people and pretends she never does this herself, ever* Welp, I’m late. But the one thing I have to add is pretty boring anyway.
Practice.
Don’t just practice, observe. Begin picking style apart and figuring out what makes it tick. Read books whose style you like, then dissect it and find out why. Become a style…[Read more]

@belegteleri Unfortunately even the highest admin levels are not enough to overcome the limits our forum software places on us on that front. 🙁

@Daughteroftheking ooh, that’s wacky, but I like it! Great points already so far… I’ll just add that it might not be such a bad thing for the reader to think Rori’s a little off her rocker. As @Catwing said, it gives a curiosity factor.
But if your concern is believe-ability and the reader taking your story as a story seriously, I’m afraid…[Read more]

@Joy oooh… what I like about that is it has a ton of thematic potential. I’m not quite sure about the revisionism, from a historical standpoint, and if it was me I would probably create a fantasy or scifi world and then do the story with obvious parallels to the Civil War, but there are a lot of writers that can pull off things I’d be scared to…[Read more]

@dragon-watcher Welcome to the site! Glad you found us. 🙂 Looks like you’re getting plenty of answers to what else you should say here. 😉

@perfectfifths He’ll need to sign into your account to watch the lessons, but he can post in these forums on his own account. He should already have access, but let me know if he doesn’t!

Sometimes comments get flagged as spam (we need to update our forum software but need to overhaul our website theme first and are currently working on that),…[Read more]

@That_Writer_Girl_99 sure! I’m doing some other stuff so my attention might be a little scattered, but why not. This’ll be my only chance for a while. Which doc?

@Dragon-Watcher hey! I like the Piano Guys too. Their two favorites of mine are Winter Wind and Arwen’s Vigil, though I also really love Holding On. What about you?

@Dragon-Watcher heyyyy! Another dragon! Or… *gasp* Are you a dragon hunter??? Do you watch them to hunt them??? *hides behind wings and blinks at you with frightened reptilian eyes* Please. I’m harmless.

*coughs* Hello. Is it safe to assume you write fantasy? So do I. I think the majority of KeePers do, so you’re in good company. 😉 What are…[Read more]

@Daeus okay. Thanks. 😀 *writes it down on her list*

@Daeus drat. If you didn’t like that one I was gonna do it. ;P

@Daeus not sure if you meant plot dilemmas or thematic dilemmas so I’m just gonna go with thematic.
