@Jane-Maree Best of luck for piano. I sort of self taught myself violin; watched tons of YouTube videos, but had no real teacher. It can be hard, I know. 🙂

@Jason

Well, I’ll definitely let you know when it comes out. Did I say when? I meant if. Lol

Well you can always hope. 😛

@I-J-Anderson ooohhh… I want to try her.

Me too, @aratrea . 🙂 Here is my homework at last! (Sorry for the wait, but I’ve been busy writing, so … not too sorry.) 😉

Picking this story, I was a bit nervous that I would fail to do it justice, so please let me know what you think. 🙂

@Aratrea

Well… listening to the video I was enthusiastically raking my entire cast together against the protagonist and now you tell me I can only pick three!? *sigh* Life is hard.

@PrincessFoo welcome! And unfortunately I have no experience with co-writing. At all. :/ One possible option for your specific dilemma, however, may simply be to alternate chapters/scenes between what’s happening with your character and what’s happening with hers even before they meet, assuming the plot/structure works that way.

@princessfoo Hiya! Welcome to the bestistest place on the internets!
Hmmm. Well, I’ve co-written some, though I haven’t done it in a bit. First thing I would ask is if your characters are going to cross paths at some point. I suggest discussing where each of you are going with your own plots, if you haven’t already. That way you can understand…[Read more]

This is doing a weird thing that seems to be happening a lot lately…I replied, had to edit my reply, and when I posted again it didn’t show up. *sigh*
I’ll see if I can post it again later.

@Abigail-Blomberg Wow. What everyone else said. :’o You got emotion in there all right.
I copied some sentences that have errors in them, besides the ‘lays’ Kate pointed out—I pasted them here, and you can probably figure out what the error is, but if I should point it out go ahead and ask me to. 🙂
But good job!!

I peal shoe off my…

@Ethryndal Oops. 😛

You’ve reason be proud. Good shading adds so much, and impromptu?! 🙂

@Daeus @Adry_Grace Thanks. So then, the definition ‘anti-hero’ does not mean someone who is anti hero—against the hero in the story—but it means, anti hero—not like a hero in character. Right?
I agree, Adry Grace—the flaws they have should be shown as such. As with any character, really. 😉

Daeus this probably has a very obvious answer,…[Read more]

@Adry_Grace Yeah, that is weird. It happened to me a few days ago on the Les Mis thread, but I was able to post it later. I got the notification by e-mail—here’s what you said:

@emma-flournoy That’s a good thought.

I do not think that a hero is NECESSARY to an antihero. I think an antihero can function just as well as a character without a…

@Jason

My novel is fantasy, but my stories tend to be very character driven (as appose to plot driven)

*serious nod* That sounds very good. 🙂 I usually like character driven stories better than plot driven ones.

@Widdrim Hey! Glad to have you.
Read any Tolkien? How ’bout Les Miserables?

@Jane-Maree Um…piano for about 5 years, and violin for about 3? I think that’s right. 😛 Which instrument have you been playing for the longest?

Guy, all of these!! Wow. I hope someday some of you are going to enter art contests.

@Ethryndal That picture of Dallan! XD
I’d definitely see him with more of a mean and self-centered sneering expression than that drawing has, but hey, if he was nice, maybe he’d have that happy sort of face! 😀
And the drawing itself…the SHADING! It’s so real.

@I-J-Anderson *bows* Smeagol and I share a motto, and that is ‘always be helpful’. XD

Okay! Have fun. 😀
