@xonos-darkgrate Welcome back! It’s pretty quiet around here now, but we still hang out and answer questions anyone has.

You know you are a writer when you hunt down one of your dad’s World of Warcraft characters, and force him to sit down and stand up a bunch of times so you can describe it for your Minotaur character.

You know you are a writer when, when you physically feel “a spike of worry” in your chest, and think “Wait, I physically felt that.” and then…[Read more]

@alia That sounds so great! I would totally read that! I’ll see if I can think of any more.

@alia *cracks knuckles* My time has come! Was there a particular genre you wanted? I do fantasy, so here are a bunch of fantasy ones.

MC being the Chosen One
Being an orphan
Having strange, unexpected powers previously unaware of
A whole society the MC didn’t know about living right under noses
“Good” elves and dwarfs, “evil” orcs, goblins,…[Read more]

@dekreel Anna’s face in the middle, methinks. This was so much better in my head…

@sarah-anson I made some comments (I am Amy, btw). I really liked it. I thought the world building was really good, and I liked some of the tradition and culture you mentioned.

@sarah-anson I might be able to read it later today. I’m hoping to be an editor when I graduate so this will be good practice. Is there anything in particular you want me look for?

@seekjustice Thank you! Ooo, paper cranes are cool

@sarah-anson *high fives* *dodges thrown cake* Thank you! How did you manage to get hot chocolate from Smaug without dying? That’s impressive.

@gh24682468999 Thank you. I was a bit concerned actually because if I had to describe my book in once sentence it would go something like “girl gets…[Read more]

Thank you! Here is a synopsis I wrote a while ago.

Aliyah Locke has never liked the stories where the main character is suddenly thrust into another universe. Seriously, those characters act like they’ve never read a book before. But when a gift a friend gave her leads her to a strange new world, Aliyah is the first to admit she is not equipped f…[Read more]

I’m reading The Floating Island by Elizabeth Haydon. Spoilers ahead *wiggles fingers in warning*

Why I liked it:

1) I think the MC, Ven, was proactive and resourceful. I liked him.

2) At one point Ven was framed, thrown in jail, and told that the king would either execute him or let him rot in jail for the rest of his life, but surprise, the…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 @seekjustice @daughteroftheking @kaya-young @catwing @dekreel

I am ready to begin now! I actually finished the book I was planning on reading already, so I’m ready! (I’m a really fast reader.)

It DID show up twice!

This post might show up twice too. Those computer gnomes…

@jenwriter17 @catwing @seekjustice I vote for fantasy too! And, like everyone else, it definitely isn’t because I have a fantasy book to read already.

@daughteroftheking You are reading Ranger’s Apprentice!! Which one?

@jenwriter17 @catwing @seekjustice  I vote for fantasy too! And yes, just like everyone else, it isn’t because I already have a fantasy book ready to read. I would be okay with historical too, but it might end up being fantasy anyways, because practically all the books in the YA historical section at my library is about affairs, which I won’t rea…[Read more]

@seekjustice @jenwriter17 Me too! I love talking about books.

@alia Maybe…

No, seriously, you thought that too? That’s funny.

@alia Maybe Rumple heard that the royal family woke up and went to “return” the girl (though that doesn’t seem like the right word after raising her for 17 years) to the castle and they arrested them there. Then the girl has to sneak away from the royal family to prove Rumple’s innocence.

While I was thinking this through, I thought of two…[Read more]

@alia Maybe the witch is trying to hunt them down, but Rumple and the girl live in a small town and/or in the middle of no where and keep to themselves, and she just hasn’t been able to find them?

@alia I would totally read that! I can’t think of any retellings that I want to see in a new light off the top of my head, but there is this book series called the Wide-Awake Princess by E.D. Baker that incorporates a bunch of fairy tales in it.

@seekjustice The Lunar Chronicles! *Squeals* I love that series!
