@Daeus *concurs and joins you in the ranks of offensive un-authors*

@ethryndal So if I understand you correctly, at the midpoint her change is that she understands that both elves and humans can be either ‘worthy’ or ‘worthless’ instead of putting humans automatically in the ‘worthless’ camp and elves in the ‘worthy’ camp?

@hope Can you also post the Experiments in Living for this? I’m assuming this is different…[Read more]

Welcome to the site @kayla-joy! One of my biggest pieces of advice for you to avoid cheesy/cliched plot is to read as much in the genre as possible–both popular works and good works (which aren’t always the same thing. =P) The more you read in a genre, the more you’ll understand what plot lines are cheesy or cliched–and you’ll also get the…[Read more]

This is a positive arc for a character in a fantasy novel of mine.

Characteristic moment: Shows protagonist discriminated against because he doesn’t have a family name. He is struggling to gain a name through his own actions.

Mash 1: Being told he has a name. He feels he didn’t earn it and doesn’t deserve it. He hasn’t proved his worth and m…[Read more]

If there was a Greek word for “post-apocalyptic gray concrete oppressive state in need of a rebellion and some kissing”, I’m not aware of it.

@Northerner *chokes* Ouch. Preach it. 😛
Now now, though. No story is defined solely by its genre. I agree with your lovely sarcasm, but let us not be narrow-minded here. *clears throat softly* I happe…[Read more]

@Kayla-Joy Hello. Pleased to meet you. *sweeps bow*

And trilogies… those little things. *chokes on insane laugh* I’m currently working on a futuristic/dystopian trilogy. 😉 I’d love to help, if I could. Google docs or email would probably work the best… I don’t get on here as much as I used to, to check things, for time reasons. 😉

@Audrey-Caylin what @TheLiteraryCrusader said. 😉

@Kate-Flournoy well I don’t think I thought that from anything you said…I probably just assumed. 😉

@Rolena-Hatfield That’s a great way to do it! 😀

@Rolena-Hatfield yesss. A little large, but it worked. :’D

@daeus *cheers* Hooray! That’s so exciting! Are self-publishing?

@daeus Ha! I just watched that! 😛

@Daeus ha! Well in my defense I didn’t come up with that particular prompt; it was provided for me. Still thought, that’s… ha. That’s funny.

@Daeus no, never. What’s it about?

@Emma-Flournoy heh… most of those were actually inspired by other prompts, not original. Due to slight miscommunication I was not aware they were supposed to be entirely original… which is what this topic is for.

As a matter of fact ladies and gents, would you mind adding to your prayers for the church song our oldest sister Elizabeth and I—we’re accompanying Kate with piano and violin, and though the pressure for us isn’t nearly as high as for her I still get extreeeemely nervous on stage. Trembling hands and all that aren’t the best when you’re trying…[Read more]

As a matter of fact ladies and gents, would you mind praying also for our oldest sister Elizabeth and I too for the church song—we’re accompanying Kate with piano and violin, and though the pressure for us isn’t nearly as high as for her I still get extreeeemely nervous on stage.

@Rolena-Hatfield Can I ask just how y’all come up with those prompts? I’ve heard some of the ones Kate’s been doing the graphics for, and they’re incredible! How do you think of them?

@ClaireC Me too. 🙂
