Otherworldly Historian

@otherworldlyhistorian Does a Star Wars fanfiction where all the characters are half-dragon count as high fantasy? Just a really weird question, because it seems like it fits the description.

Yes. We need turns so it’s not confusing. So @sarafini will start.

@orielle21 next.

@otherworldlyhistorian next

@me

@keilah-h

Then repeat. Is that alright?

@felicity @otherworldlyhistorian @folith-feolin @whalekeeper @sarafini @charityanne @landric @elizabeth-hearten @keilah-h @lightoverdarkness6 @esther-c

So can I ask who is in the Monday group so I know who to tag?

Anyone want to read some old writing? XD

I started writing like last july I believe, so by old I don’t mean ancient 😂 That being said, the story was a lot…[Read more]

Why hello there everyone! Sorry I haven’t been on the last couple day’s, but I’m excited to lock ourselves into this library!

You can just call me Prin, and use my…[Read more]

I’m so sorry everyone!! I totally forgot about this yesterday!! 😭 😭

I need to set a reminder for myself. 😅

The Monday group can go ahead and RP this Monday if they’d like.

Again, so sor…

@godlyfantasy12 @otherworldlyhistorian

Ok, great! Thanks guys!

@otherworldlyhistorian

Ok I see what you mean. So what do you think about this:

In my WIP the MC’s friend Jon falls off a cliff and everyone thinks he’s dead, because there’s no way he could’ve survived that fall. Well it just so happens that he didn’t fall all the way down, and he landed in snow, so he’s not dead, although he’s hurt pretty bad…[Read more]

@otherworldlyhistorian

Hello! Nice to meet you!

1. I mostly play board games! But I enjoy card games, Catan, Ticket to Ride, Monopoly Deal, Scattergories, and trivia!

2. Plotting is a  s l o w  process for me. I start with a great background idea but then building everything up and having a good resolution is very difficult.

3. Mmm… well t…[Read more]

@orielle21 @otherworldlyhistorian

Awesome!!

@gwyndalf-the-wise

Oh, cool! XD Yeah, I can see the similarities to America…

Yeah…

I guess I’m kind of cheating by not coming up with a unique history to Aletheia, but it works anyway. Lol

@otherworldlyhistorian

Yep! Just Christianity. I didn’t want to do allegorical Christianity with this WIP cuz I tried it with another one and it didn’t…[Read more]

@otherworldlyhistorian

Helpful topic. Thanks!

@sarafini

Is it characters that really die and come back to life that you don’t like? Or when it seems like the character is dead but they aren’t really?

@otherworldlyhistorian
Ah. Yeah, I’m not against having grief in books and portraying it realistically, but I don’t want to read a book/watch a movie and leave it with a sense of hopelessness.

@godlyfantasy12
YEah, I like it when my favorite come back to life, but usually my favorites stay dead and the obnoxious character I didn’t like lives. *sadness*

@otherworldlyhistorian
1. They’re just one of millions of casualties. Their death has no purpose. The author just had it there for feels.

4. I’m not sure I understand your…[Read more]

@otherworldlyhistorian
Hmmmm
I only appreciate character deaths when:

1. They aren’t dying just because.

2. Their death contributes to someone’s character arc.

3. Their death contributes to the story’s theme.

4. The death doesn’t become the focus of the story.

5. They actually stay dead. XD However, this depends on the story, I’ve seen…[Read more]

@otherworldlyhistorian
Ah, okay.

@karissa-chmil
I think I may have seen you, but I’m not sure…and yes, it’s amazing XD

I know @felicity and @charityanne and @freedomdreamer are on there, but I dunno about anyone else…

@otherworldlyhistorian
Yeah, Mineralized is correct, it stands for ‘The Young Writer’s Workshop’…or something like that, I don’t remember.

@otherworldlyhistorian

It stands for the young writers workshop, it’s a paid course for young writers.

@godlyfantasy12 Don’t worry, that ship is VERY intact (He survives!). But I’ll get to that in a couple seconds if my computer doesn’t wig out again…..

@folith-feolin ANDOR YESSSS. Not sure if this’ll interest you, but these five books I’m currently talking about are the final third of a 15-book fanfic (told you it was lengthy), which spans from…[Read more]
