Oh, this is definitely a topic that I’ve thought about.

I think the biggest thing is to separate good and evil and to make it clear that good is good and evil is evil, which is what most everyone else said. Once my dad said something along the lines of ‘if you want to read something with a lot of adultery and murder then…[Read more]

@esther-c    Great verses, thanks for sharing! “I address my verses to the King” is such a powerful line.
@lightoverdarkness @starofthenorth @mineralizedwritings @otherpeople
This is interesting. I’ve never really thought of magic as being evil. Magic is probably what got me into writing actually. None of my stories are without it, and I only ju…[Read more]

1. Magic – When I think of magic in my fantasy worlds I usually think of it more in terms of the magic being something like physics or electricity rather than the occult. I find this can help explore unique worlds that work differently than ours and have different cult…

This is such a great topic, and I’ve been thinking about this lately too. I normally stay away from writing any kind of magic, but I believe that if you clearly show that it is wrong and evil, it’s okay to feature a little bit in your book, if you have to. B…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

Wait wait wait until you read the last book, ‘dead’ isn’t exactly right

Aurgh, that’s all I can say…

@mineralizedwritings

Great topic!

I’ve done fantasy before, but the thing that could be considered “magic” was each tribe having a supernatural ability gifted by their Creator. There weren’t any powers that they could harness on their own, (even though their gifts could be used wrongly). There is definitely a line when writing magic. I like wh…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

Oh, I’ve been wanting to make a topic about this for a while but have never quite gotten to it. I’m glad other people have been thinking about this too! I actually have several dark/creepy stories that I haven’t shared on here. Also, I’ve been writing an essay for school that is about essentially the same subject (I could s…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

I need to add more Lukas!! There are times I forget to. 😅

@felicity

Yay!!

@mineralizedwritings

Thanks so much for the tips!! And there are a lot of important moments sprinkles throughout the book.
And yes, you should keep reading. Nothing outside the Orb is creepy. 🙂

@lightoverdarkness6

The TARDIS is actually from  a tv show called Dr Who that started in the ‘60s.

I won’t be able to be on KP this weekend. Just wanted to let you know.

@mineralizedwritings

It’s… complicated

I’ll say this much, you might not interpret it that way.

@mineralizedwritings

oh this topic is great

As an avid reader of dark fantasy and grimdark fiction (and also a writer of such fiction), I can definitely have a lot to say on this topic. (I have discussed this among other things extensively with my brother.) Also, I think I’m going to group some stuff like dark subject matters besides creepy…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

Interesting topic, and very important.

I don’t write or read anything I would call dark, or that feels off to me. (However, some of what I write could be done in a very sickening/graphic/dark way. I don’t want that, and I won’t read that, so I’ve thought about this quite a lot for many reasons.)

As humanity, there is a…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

This is an interesting topic that I’ve been thinking a lot about recently, too.

I’ve never written anything that I would call dark or explicitly creepy (though of course all books have some tension and maybe scary moments).

However I do write fantasy, and I know that some people wouldn’t agree that that is morally okay. I…[Read more]

@esther-c

Ok that’s good. Thanks!

@mineralizedwritings

Yes I see. I did read a book where it shifted between two POVs and sometimes I forgot who the narrator was and had to go back and look, or try to figure out from what was happening. But I think if I put the name at the start of each chapter it should be fine. Oh yes, about a graphic novel,…[Read more]

@lightoverdarkness6 @felicity @freedomwriter76 @theloonyone @mineralizedwritings

@felicity, the thing that Len gave to Amidala is definitely important. Sometimes I actually forget to mention it in future chapters 😅, but it will play a big role in the future! 😏

Next two chapters! (I already have like twenty written, so that’s why I’m getting the…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

Hah!! Thank you. I feel encouraged now. I tend to write about siblings a lot because well, I have seven so that’s a huge part of my life. 😀 I’m so glad you like it!!!

@esther-c

Good good good!!!! I’m so happy you enjoyed it. Thanks…this is my second time writing in present tense. I still catch myself writing in past…[Read more]

*Gasp* In our world? I did not see that coming. =O XD

Pop in whenever you want! We all need to do research, even if it’s not needed. =)

Here is Chapter 2, for anyone who wants to read it. This is my first draft, to be clear, and I am looking for any feedback and critiques…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Sure!! My charries are not the only ones in the group, so I’ll have to ask the rest of the group, but I’m totally good with it😊👍! Which characters are yours? Other than Kad 😉.

@loopylin @mineralizedwritings @freedomwriter76 @theloonyone @e-m-trepke

Can @keilah-h join her characters to one of our groups?

I only joined thi…
