For anyone interested in making these memes and conversations/comics I would like to recommend befunky.com which I just found yesterday. It is really easy to use as a free online photo-editor/collage-maker.

@dekreel @notawriter Cool! thanks!
@princessfoo Thanks so much for your input! No, Rin doesn’t fall in love with the soldier guy (his name is Jax). I’d rather not include romance in my novels. They become friends though. Just friends 😊

I was in the waiting room of a hospital ( I wasn’t ill or anything) and was reading a really good book. It’s called Addison Blakey: Confessions of a Pk and at one point I’m sure I was laughing out loud. I don’t know what the people at the hospital were thinking

@princessfoo It does! Let’s see… Names of trinkets…
Whenever my brain is working, I’ll hopefully come back with some more names 😉

If your magic system is based around moving stuff about, maybe you can look up synonyms and terms involving transportation, conveyance, delivery etc.? Reseaching words that describe the different realms and nature of things (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual) can also help you find ways to describe and differentiate the…[Read more]

Thanks for your suggestions! You guys have given me much to think about. It will take some time for me to process everything so perhaps I should go into detail about the different issues I am encountering. This may help me think this through more clearly and come to a…[Read more]

Joy started the topic Chasm Beasts in the forum Characters 6 years, 9 months ago
Greetings!! *tips hat*
So as you know, I am writing a Dr Who fan novella (I think I’ve started one too many topics exactly like this XD). Its setting is in the country of Taranar, which contains the Red Chasms, which homes hundreds of Chasm Beasts like myself. But unlike myself, these Beasts are evil, even bloodthirsty. (total and constant…[Read more]

Joy replied to the topic Making Up Words in the forum Fantasy 6 years, 9 months ago
Maybe for the magic tricks you could do something like this:
<insert name>–Porta
For the second one I’d suggest Kore-Porta, but I don’t have any ideas for the other ones o_o
Could you describe the trinkets in more detail?

Kaya Young replied to the topic Making Up Words in the forum Fantasy 6 years, 9 months ago
@princessfoo I have an idea for the first one! Fenestra! It’s the Latin word for window, loophole, Hole, breach, and opening. You could adjust the word however to fit your purposes.

Rochellaine replied to the topic Making Up Words in the forum Fantasy 6 years, 9 months ago
@princessfoo Thanks for tagging me. I’m really sorry, but I don’t feel comfortable getting that involved with magic.
The way I usually make up words, though, is to take two words and mash them together, mixing up a few letters and leaving out some others. I make several combinations until I am happy with the results.

@princessfoo Your WIP sounds cool. I’ve heard the portal thing is a little cliche, but I really like the idea. 😉I’m sure you can turn that cliche on its head and make it unique though👍

@rochellaine OH, SPANISH MOSS!!! Yes, that is gorgeously mysterious!
@princessfoo Heheh, that’s funny. I can totally imagine that happening to me.
@mariposa Yeah I think I’ve gotten the “How you gonna pay the bills?” question at least once.
Funny the mistakes we make in writing…..Thank goodness for editing………i guess. 🤔

@princessfoo XD I agree 😀
I once thought about writing something with people who could control electrons in small amount and thus have power over the form of matter itself, but I haven’t gone any further with that

@gabbyj I agree with @princessfoo and @notawriter. But.
I have an addition. So, she believes the best about people. Is very cheerful and optimistic. But then something happens. Someone betrays her, or she leaves her safe, happy home and finds out just how scary a place the world is. Her worldview is entirely flipped. She now trusts no one, and…[Read more]
