@daughteroftheking Overenthusiasm is always better than regular enthusiasm. 😛

@salome01w4g Actually, if you’re talking about Treachery Against The House Of Fairwin, this one is less graphic.

@salome01w4g No, they’re about the same as far as violence goes.

@salome01w4g Good question. I’ll answer it for the whole book. I think the main potential issue would be violence. I never try to be gory, but I always include some details of violence. In chapter 2, there is a character who might seem a bit creepy and who kills a couple people (though without much description). In chapter 4, two innocent people…[Read more]

@daeus It sounds really interesting, Deaus, and congratulations for getting this far! 😀 Unfortunately I don’t think I’d have the time. Thank you for tagging me, though, and good luck with the rest of the process! 🙂

@destiny *facepalm* I knew I had forgotten somebody.

@livylynn It sounds really good! And I am very interested, but I don’t think I’ll be able to. I’m already beta reading three other things for three friends, plus I have a few projects of my own that I really need to give some time to. 🙁 Sorry! But I just wanted to say, your story sounds so interesting, if I had the time, I’d definitely want to…[Read more]

I HAVE ARRIVED.

I not only adore political intrigue in fantasy, I believe it can be absolutely essential for developing your world and characters.
Disclaimer before I explain that— a fair chunk of my characters are inherently political by very…[Read more]

@livylynn Hey! Do you have a certain time you want the feedback sent to you? I’m super interested (fairytale/ sci-fi sounds fascinating!) but am trying to think through all my time commitments.

@amy-l-klob Welcome!!! I’m so glad you found KP! (Before I joined KP I hadn’t used a forum either :p don’t hesitate to ask questions if you need help navigating this new world 🙂 )
And a fellow drama lover! Favorite drama? Do you like musicals?

@joy-schmidt You’re back! (again, haha 😀 ) Couldn’t stay away, huh? :p I’m super glad you’ve returned! (Maybe this time we’ll succeed at keeping you around?)

@warrioroftherealm oh my heavens. This question. Just— I have a rant, okay? And I don’t have time to rant it right now.
But just you wait.
Just.
You.
Wait.
*drools*

@warrioroftherealm YES!!! Definitely. It must have intrigue. I looove political intrigue.

Granted, that opinion is probably heavily tainted by the fact that I’m an ENFJ, but ENFJs are always right, so I declare this debate over

@joy Reading more widely should help you with writing stories with different themes.

As for the lessons your characters learn and the obstacles in their way, both of those lists seems good to me. I do, however, think that adding more obstacles could help make your story different. For instance, could there be a competitive suitor? Or maybe the…[Read more]

@hannah-c I’d be interested in doing it in January. I can’t guarantee it will work for me, but I think there’s a pretty good chance.

@warrioroftherealm

Well, it depends. You should know that men don’t have a particularly large advantage over women in a one on one combat. The disparity mainly exists in battles where men can keep fighting way way longer.

The trick is, I assume this angel is quite competent with a sword. The best idea that comes to my mind is that she could try…[Read more]

Hi, @joy-schmidt 😀
