Koshka replied to the topic Me idea in the forum Plotting 4 years, 4 months ago
Well, I really haven’t been paying enough attention have I? I just saw this tag. =|
That sounds like a good start for a story, and is making ideas spring into my head. If written well it wouldn’t be cliche. It has some possibilities for a powerful storyline.
Random spark of ideas- What if this country is something like Israel under…[Read more]

Koshka replied to the topic The Beloved Character Death Discussion Page….Woohoo in the forum Characters 4 years, 5 months ago
Yeah, murdering characters is definitely one of those harder things about story plotting. I have a MIA in one of mine who won’t come back, even though part of me is testing that point pretty hard.
Oh…
huge Wingfeather spoilerÂwas so well written, but, ahh, it hurt. *Sniff* -
Jaybird replied to the topic The Hope That Remains Despite Illnesses in the forum Poetry Critiques 4 years, 5 months ago
Beautiful. It never ceases to amaze me how a simple choice of words and rhythm can convey such various feelings. Your choice seems to give a broken hearted yet flowing stream of thought.
I would consider smoothing the rhythms or word choice so that the sentences work together a little smoother, but it is lovely as it is. Well…[Read more]

Jaybird replied to the topic How Do You Turn a Spark Into a Blaze? in the forum Plotting 4 years, 5 months ago
Ooof, I have the same difficulty. Or rather, a very, very similar one. I have been working on two WIPs for almost a year. No, scratch that: it’s been over a year. Anyway, these two book ideas both started from ideas for characters, with vague impressions of their plots. Now after months of quiet world building, scene crafting, and…[Read more]

Yay!
Thanks. It’s good to be back. Although, I never exactly went away, just lurked in the shadows, but no one ever saw me eavesdropping. 😉

Ugh, hi!!! I have survived five nightmarish math problems and can finally respond!!(Is she excited? Feeling euphoric? Elated? Perhaps. They were hard!)
Anyway, as for my actual response, here goes.
A fanfiction on the Overseer could be spectacular. Not ridiculous at all!

Sounds fun!
I don’t remember if his backstory was mentioned, but I think not. Hmm…it would be interesting. Here are a few random questions;
- Does he view ridge-runners in the same light as children?
- Has he ever been a Strander?
- Does he remember before Gnag?
- What is his motive/ does he believe what he is doing is wrong?

Jaybird replied to the topic Do your characters tend to be more extraverted or introverted? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 5 months ago
I honestly don’t exactly know, but I think they are usually like me on that respect: they are either a weak E or a weak I. In other words, a wee bit shy, but with a love for people.
Or perhaps they are in a strange position that forces them to pretend to be VERY extroverted, like walking up to a random stranger and commenting on…[Read more]

Hi there! Yeah, I haven’t been on here much recently either.
The question thingy is so neat! I think I have submitted a question (or two, or three. They were in a list.), but it may not have gone through. Anyway, thanks for invitation!

Hmmm, fascinating! I love the extra information provided, especially since I’m a person who reads the back of covers just for the fun of it. (It might be a bit long, but that’s okay.)
Only three?! Eeekers! I’ll try. XD
- First off, this one does seem to better connect to another as a sequel. This feels more like another…

That would be fascinating, and it definitely does sound fun to do. 😉
Ugh, I’ve got quite the list of those! XD

Jaybird replied to the topic Do you Prefer Classical or Modern Literature? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 6 months ago
The book you say? Hmmm. I’ll have to say I haven’t read it, (or watched it, other than a few clips of the play.) but it definitely sounds interesting! All I’ve heard about the book is that it is completely different from the play (or musical, or any of it for that matter. XD)

Certainly! They’re all good, in my own most humble opinion. (Of course they are, ’cause why would I mention them if they weren’t? XD)
Scout, Riffles for Watie by Harold Keith, and Snow Treasure, are all not exactly classics. I think RfW was written around 1957, ST around 1942, and Scout was sometime in the 50’s-60’s(Not sure). A…[Read more]

Especially when the reader doesn’t see it coming. Bwahaha!
Yeah, I wasn’t sure I liked it either untill I started researching some stuff, then it sort of exploded. XD For instance, one of my kingdoms uses a lunar calendar, but I when I started working it out I got carried away, so now there’s a separate calendar for each of…[Read more]

I’ll have to check that out. =)

Favorite tropes? I’m not sure yet. I love absolutely crushing my main carries deep into the ground (but not like most authors), then redeeming them/making something beautiful of their story. (Ok,…[Read more]

I think it ate my thingy. Maybe I made it long. I shall try again.
Its a full scene, not a line, but anyway…
Flickers of light glinted back, caught on gossamers in the murky darkness. Holding the torch as high as the cavern roof allowed, Meyani crept down stairs, counting each crumbling step. Two-and-ten, three-and-ten, four-and-ten…

Well, I have been working on this scene for some time now, mulling it over it in my mind, so I finally wrote it down, even though I haven’t gotten near this part of my book yet. Its not exactly a line- a whole scene to be exact. But anyway…
