Mornin Gents and Gentesses,
I wrote a short story recently that I’d like to find some beta readers for.
It’s a slice of life story as well as inspiration fiction in the broad sense of the term and kiiindaa romance, depending on how you look at it.
Its length is 8,900 words.
Let me know if you are interested. 🙂

@catwing okay, so that’s pretty short *breathes out in relief* like @perfectfifths said, I have holidays for half of dec and all of Jan and I’m hoping to get my editing done then, and I should have plenty of time for your novel. I’m currently beta reading another novel, which i’m already past the deadline for, so I don’t think I will have enough…[Read more]

@perfectfifths Got it. And it’s actually around 52,000, not 59,000.
If someone wants to be in the first group (instead of her, so that it’s even.) tell me.

First off, it is 52,789 words.
@dragon-snapper *laughs* You could consider your front feet for clapping? I understand. “My life is busy, but I still take time to ride my dragon.” (That should go on the inspiration board!)@beta-readers I don’t know a good dead line… How about as soon as you can? 😛 Early-ish November?

Well, at long last I finished this edit of my book. And I was wondering if anyone wanted to beta read it. ( @daughteroftheking @aislinn-mollisong @seekjustice @perfectfifths @jess-penrose @jane-maree @dragon-snapper @epicaddie2 @his-instrument @emily [Tell your sister if you like…])

@perfectfifths Thanks 🙂
@dragon-snapper @that_writer_girl_99 I’m not sure I know what you mean. How would writing it from his POV be different? I thought I would write it diary style because he will only get to re-enter into the story on certain days.

Snapper replied to the topic Is This Any Good? in the forum Short Story Critiques 7 years, 1 month ago
@daeus Hey! That is a pretty neat concept! I love how he gets to be the heroes neighbor. That’s awesome.
I agree with @perfectfifths that you should continue this, however, I think it’d be better if you didn’t write it from the perspective of his diary, and instead just his POV, first person.
But that’s it really. Otherwise I love it!

Joseph Darkgrate replied to the topic My New Fantasy Book Idea and Endeavor in the forum Fantasy 7 years, 1 month ago
Hm… @daeus, I considered that and it didn’t seem as strange in my opinion. Satan himself used to be one of God’s chief angels so I don’t think that it’s far off that he could be using the same form of power for nefarious uses.
Other than that, would it make more sense that “magic” in this story is more like a power made by God and used by the…[Read more]

Joseph Darkgrate replied to the topic My New Fantasy Book Idea and Endeavor in the forum Fantasy 7 years, 1 month ago
Okay, so first. I’ve considered the storyline I’ve been making, and the concept of making an allegory, so I thought I’d just drop the act and admit that it’s more of an allegory than anything else.
So… I’ve made a few changes to explain things better and to fit the Bible more!
1. “magic” in this story is really God’s power. But when others…[Read more]

@catwing Good job with the improvements. 😀
I also liked @perfectfifths‘ improvements. I’ll go off those and add some adjustments myself.
Alex is not normal. She and her friends talk with animals. (No need to say they understand animals. That’s assumed if they talk with them.)
Then she and her friends meet a mysterious cloaked messenger, who…

@catwing I like the second one too, and I like the suggestions @perfectfifths has made. I would read the book based on that blurb, which is ultimately what you want!

@catwing I prefer your second version heaps, it’s more… blurby. And I also really like the few little tweaks that @perfectfifths made. *thumbs up* Good job!

Catwing replied to the topic Finding Secrets~ To Uncover A Synopsis in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 1 month ago
@perfectfifths It was a coincidence.
@seekjustice @jess-penrose @daeus @emily Thanks all! Here’s two new versions…I wasn’t sure which way to go, so I’m trying both. (They are improving. Slowly.)
I’ll keep playing around with it, in the word pit. 😉

Yippee!!!!! 😀@perfectfifths
Hmmm…… my favorite *ducks again because my brother hates him* was Solo.
Yeah it is sad….. I remember watching the trailer and being like who are these old people and then realizing it was them I was like NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! What happened!!!! -
Hannah replied to the topic The Last Jedi in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 1 month ago
@perfectfifths yeah, well the CGI for Leia wasn’t major in RO she had maybe a 10 second scene. I’m also a bit skeptical they even used CGI they could have just clipped a scene from a new hope.
One (I’m taking a risk) I never like Leia…. so not having here in anymore movies wouldn’t make me sad………. *ducks encase anyone really liked her…* - Load More
