@That_Writer_Girl_99 I’m over on the doc. 😉

@WarrenLuther04 I think I can safely say that’s the oddest story idea I’ve ever come into contact with. 😛 Sounds like fun.
Aaaand this may be cliche, but the instant I saw ‘cat’ and ‘villains’ all I could visualize is dogs, dogs, and more dogs. :”D Poor creatures.
I actually really like the rats idea though. XD
You could also make it a…[Read more]

@Joy *nods* He’s clever. He does our courses. Listen to him. *nods again*

Hello @WarrenLuther04, and welcome to the bestistest place on the internet! 😀 What’s your favorite genre? To read and write? What kind of music do you like?

As for the stories question, let me just direct you to our publication guidelines. 🙂

I have to warn you, guys are severely outnumbered on this forum, so beware. *grins* As the forum…[Read more]

@Rolena-Hatfield didn’t figure it could. 😉 Thanks anyway.

@That_Writer_Girl_99 I still haven’t had a chance to read that. D: Sorry… I should get to it soon. But just for now, Imma risk @Emma-Flournoy‘s wrath and say if you don’t like third person, don’t use it. First person mightn’t have the scope third person does, but for those who can write it well it makes up for that in depth. I’m going to hazard…[Read more]

@Joy … and I’m supposed to tell you which one to pick??? *tears out hair* Those all sound awesome! 😛 I really, really like Aethra Falls. All the others are still great ideas, but that one is definitely my favorite.

Yep. What he said.

@Allison-Grace hey! Welcome to KP. 🙂
While I agree with every point made in that video, I don’t believe that just because a story has a few (or even all, necessarily) of those ‘cliche’ elements that it’s a bad allegory.
What do I mean by that?
Well, the problem with cliches is that so often they’re written just ‘because that’s the way things are…[Read more]

I’m an INFP, btw. 😉

*hugs you because you not only knew your MBTI type but assumed we would all understand what you were talking about as well* I love you already. 😛

What’s your favorite genre, @joy?

@That_Writer_Girl_99 sorry I missed you. 🙁 Keep tagging me… eventually I’ll be here at the same time. 😛

Welcome to the site, @koryn-koch! I believe I remember seeing your name around the YWW groups. 🙂 High-five for another Hamilton lover. I listen to that soundtrack way too much. xD What type of fiction do you like to write?

Heyyyyy @Koryn-Koch, and welcome to the bestistest place on the internet!

YOU LIKE LES MISERABLES? HAVE YOU READ IT??? I haven’t seen the musical but I adore the book. What are a few of your other favorites? Have you read A Tale of Two Cities?
What genre do you prefer to write in?

Once again, happy to have you here. 😀

@GracieGirl awesome. 😉

For those of you who have been praying about my jaw… everything seems to be going okay. We’ve had some lingering complications with the muscles (they got pretty badly inflamed, apparently) and with the vertebrae at the base of my skull, but things are getting straightened out and it doesn’t look like there should be any…[Read more]

@EpicAddie2 That makes sense; one of the most helpful books I’ve read on that topic is 12 Editors Tackle the 12 Fatal Flaws of Fiction Writing by C.S. Laskin (actually did a review of it here: https://kingdompen.org/kp-book-review-5-editors-tackle-the-12-fatal-flaws-of-fiction-writing-by-c-s-lakin-et-al/) If you get the chance to read it, it should…[Read more]

@SeekJustice The one YA book I’ve read with an older protagonist is Wayne Thomas Batson’s Sword in the Stars. Haven’t seen it done anywhere else, and have likewise read that you shouldn’t have YA protagonists much above college age. That being said, it’s also good for a protagonist to be older than the reader, since apparently younger readers find…[Read more]

@Dragon-Snapper yeah, yeah. *rolls eyes*

@SeekJustice hey, everyone does. No biggie. 😛 I will be the first to confess that my name is cumbersome. 😉 In retrospect, I probably should have made my tag just @Kate, but oh well. (@Daeus @Rolena-Hatfield actually is there any way I can change it?)

Great question. You’ve got a lot of good answers here already, but I’ll just add my two cents…[Read more]
