Here’s the next bit of the Dragonsbane Society:

Kirah sat at a long wooden table, in between Cora and Leif. Amara sat across from her, as did Banner, Rollan, and Elryn. She hadn’t yet touched the food in front of her. The visions had stolen her appetite away, and t…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Yes, Sunny is definitely great! I think the reason I liked Tsunami is because I was really shy, and Tsunami was just the opposite XD

@keilah-h

That sounds really great! I enjoyed the Jade Mountain Academy thing for the most part, but that’s just cause it had Moon and Qibli in it, who are my absolute favorites. My first favorite was Tsunami, though, especially after book 2.

@keilah-h

That’s really good! (When I wrote that prophecy, I was under the impression that prophecies were supposed to rhyme for some reason… I don’t know where I got that)

Anyway, yeah, Wings of Fire and its prophecies are awesome! I’ve been kind of disappointed by the series recently, though the storyline is really good.

@euodia-vision

I like the kinda cross-hatching, I have no idea how to do that. 😛

@keilah-h

Yeah, I’ve written a couple different stories about Amara before, and it always starts with her eyes becoming slitted. Then afterwards she’d have scales on her arms, then sometimes in her mouth (because of eventual fire-breathing), and by the end of it she’d have wings and stuff.

I’d appreciate the help with the prophecy! I’ve only…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Yep, pretty similar to that! As for the dragon traits, (from what I’m thinking so far) it starts out small, until eventually she’s more dragon than she is human. It revolves a lot around the prophecy (which I have yet to write 😅🤣), and I’m still debating as to whether to have them turn back to normal after the events of the book… I…[Read more]

@keilah-h

No, I can totally tell you! Just a warning, it is somewhat of a spoiler, but not hugely. Basically, it means one of her parents was a dragon, and eventually her own dragon traits start to show. (So, BIGGER SPOILER, Amara’s father was a dragon.) I’ll get into how that happened later, because it’s somewhat complicated.

@esther-c

Definitely! I’m a lot better at books where I’ve written the character for a long time, so with these new characters it was somewhat difficult- especially with at least three POVs.

@esther-c

Yeah I noticed that lol. Especially Amara and Kirah I feel like are really similar. I think Tali seems similar at first, but she branches off pretty quickly.

@esther-c

Yeah, Brycen’s gonna be pretty cool. Oh man, if I say anything else it will be a massive spoiler, so I’ll just keep my mouth shut XD

@thearcaneaxiom

Yeah, Nia probably won’t be huge to the whole story, so that’s good.

I know the young thief is common, but I guess I just wanted to try it out for myself, and just see where it went. As far as I’ve planned out (which is very, very little), he doesn’t stay a thief for long, but it kinda follows him in the long run, if that makes sense.

@felicity

Yeah, I haven’t exactly mapped out what the underground actually looks like, so I’ll have to figure that out at some point. I guess I figured that since it was from Amara’s perspective, I would have it to where Kirah knew Keith pretty well, and trusted him, at least for the most part. But yeah, I definitely need to look at that more,…[Read more]

@felicity

Okay, good 😅 It’s just that most people on here would put it down because of the violence and gore (which there is), and I feel uncomfortable liking these kind of things now. Because I know if I make a recommendation, someone might be put off, and then where would I be on the darkness scale? If that makes sense lol

@felicity

Ofc! I’m sorry if my description disappointed you.

Sebastian

Seb stopped.

Stared.

Turned on his heel with a squeak of the shoe, and started to walk back the way he had come.

I know this thread is really old (not really, just subjectively), but I was looking through my old notebook (the one with SPESHUL SECRET STUFF THAT NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO READ), and I just had to share this section. My sister nearly died laughing XD

Okay. So this is an old story, that people would tell their children at bed time. I wrote this when…[Read more]

@awsumfaith

Yeah lol. The downside with pantsing is that, while you can get to some insane page counts, there will be some kind of plothole, or absolutely no ending/arcs at all… I’ve done that a lot. 🤣

@awsumfaith

Aww, thanks! I’ll probably post another soon. 🙂

While most of my WIPs end up getting put to the side at least for a little while, this one can’t really do that, because I’m part of a writing group. Basically I have to get a chapter done at least every two weeks, and that’s pushing it. It helps cause they can catch things like small…[Read more]

@euodia-vision

I definitely recommend Screwtape Letters 😉 Thanks for your recommendations!

Sebastian

With that out of his system, Seb found himself sitting on the cold marble floor, in the fetal position. After a good few minutes of grumblings and sharp, angry sniffs, he stood up.

The passageway was still gray and motionless. But there might be others.

In fact, soft, fluttering echoes brushed the cobwebs on the curtains. These echoes…[Read more]
