@Ingridrd ooh, I’m getting strong velveteen rabbit/toy story vibes. 😀 I love the open end though; there’s still hope. 😉
And… believe it or not I really don’t have any criticism. It’s adorable. It made me feel guilty about my stuffed leopard that I haven’t talked to in ages. And it has that sweet, half-wistful tone of all stories told from the…[Read more] -

@perfectfifths Yeah. I knew it was in editing mode. I left it that way because sometimes people like to leave long comments at the end of a story. Suggesting mode is much better for editing in general though. You can switch it to suggesting mode whenever you like.

@daeus Great! And I hope you realise it’s in edit mode rather than suggest mode. I’ll try to just make comments, but suggest mode is really helpful for making edits that you can later accept or reject.

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic SO…I need some advice in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 8 years, 6 months ago
@dekreel same. I know it’s a classic but I’ve never read it. 🙁
But as far as unique and compelling stories go… when you think about it, all stories are pretty much a mash-up of the same storylines being used over and over again. What makes them their own is what the author uses them to say. When a new voice picks up an old story, new depths…[Read more]

@daeus I clicked the link and all that, will the doc be in my email or something? 🙂
@salome01w4g Be that as it may, you have to get through the creepy stuff to get to the good ending. 😉 I’m sure I’ll go back to it sometime. 😀

@graciegirl Well, cool. 🙂 I’ll send you the doc.

Emma Flournoy replied to the topic Is This Any Good? in the forum Short Story Critiques 8 years, 6 months ago
@Daeus Keep writing it, and if it still feels worthless, stop. 😛 As of right now though, it is pretty cool. His POV is intriguing. I think mostly only writers would understand—at least really GET—a story like this though, not regular readers…

@Daeus This is the 3rd Person thingy, right? But regardless, yup. It might be closer to two weeks depending on what comes up though. Me and my notorious slow reading. :/

Daeus replied to the topic World building advice? in the forum Fantasy 8 years, 6 months ago
@epicaddie2 I’m working through this myself at the moment, but I do have one or two things to say.
First, you want to develop your world well before you start writing. Sure, you should only spend so much time building your story world. You have to start eventually, but spending a whole month world building would not be unreasonable. A good…[Read more]
