That’s fine with me! Also, it may be good to keep them human here, as some things about wolf nature really only work in the right story…such as sudden madness at the taste or smell of blood. *Shrug* So what if I may be ignoring thumbs in my books?

It is funny.
Sort of strong self control, but we were reading other series as well, so…
Aww, good. I love Viktor.
And guess what? I made a mistake too. Even after going back and redescribing him, I failed to mention his interesting backstory of loss and adoption, and the fact that he has burn scars up his hands to his…[Read more]

As Viktor walked up to the two, his eyes were tempted to stare at the serpent, but something about this boy caught at him.
He was tall, tall as the Woodmen, and as dark too. As dark headed as Viktor himself. Surely he wasn’t Yartian.
“Sure. Everything’s good.” His accent was strange as well, not lilting at all. “Who are…[Read more]

I know, right? There is such a difference. It’s really funny now, though, because I’m like,” Wow, I thought that was an insult, but now I see it’s a compliment that is of all things good for story prompts.
Yeah, I have to be careful what and how much I read. My sister and I literally spread LoTR over a year because of all…[Read more]

Thank you! November and Ara are fantastic too. Oh, November…. XD I love reading what you write of him.

Oh, I forgot to mention, the twins have an accent, but by the end of this thing I mostly gave up. It’s a pain to write in first draft. XD
Zlatan and Vulkasin
Vulkasin slammed himself against the door, again. This time he was rewarded with a bruised face.
“Getting anyvere?” Zlatan’s voice cut through the fog inside Vulkasin’s head.
“Neh. You…[Read more]

Yay! I’m glad it was somewhat helpful, infact, I think it helped me!
Yeah, that sounds awesome! If it’s what you think your story (or charrie) needs, then definitely go for it.
And I will admit, I love it when a character lives. I mean, yes, it’s extremely powerful when they don’t as well, but why else would I want to show…[Read more]

Ok, I’m back, because I don’t think I described him accurately. Another try, shall we?
Viktor: ’54” but growing (eventually), dark brown hair that’s beginning to curl, but isn’t yet (all that part was right, it is cut in the Yartassite style which was described above). Olive toned skin, keen dark brown eyes. Tall straight nose that is almost…[Read more]

Viktor popped another auleive into his mouth and adjusted his mantle to catch the rising breeze.
And shade the auleives. He hadn’t brought them up here, out of their nice cool brine, only to let them dry in the sun.
Spring is almost over, soon the grain will come in. Then we will…
But why think of that now, when the earth spread out below…[Read more]

Ooooooooo! This is awesome!
So, hi! I am Koshka (or at least that’s who I am around here, bwahaha) and here are my characters; 17 year old twins Zlatan Vulkasin, who though wolves in my book will, for convenience, be human here. That are wearing swords, a shield strapped across the back, and an open-faced Rus style helmet. Zlatan will also be…[Read more]

Ah, fantasy. I will admit, magical fantasy isn’t my strong suit, as I can find it to be to engrossing (and I’m waayy too much into history to keep my hands out of medieval fantasy, which is technically my genre.). But I love Narnia and have enjoyed LotR.
That is a hilarious question, mainly because, before I read t…[Read more]

This looks fun…. (And I guess it’s role-play styled.)
Oh, hi! It’s good to meet you, I’m called Elishavet around here, and I mostly write fantasy, but Essays, Poetry, and Other Random Things are not unusual.
But, I’m not the one visiting this castle; it’s one of the many characters I am responsible for.

Firstly, thank you for making this post. I don’t know how much wisdom I have to offer, since I am struggling with this same thing. Seriously, I have two characters that I am planning to kill,(one is doomed beyond hope since his death is literally the finale of his arc. The other may escape my sword. May being the operative word)…[Read more]

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.

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.

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]

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]
