Koshka replied to the topic If Hollywood adapted your novel… in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 3 months ago
At first I thought,”Romance, over described battles, messed up characters…”
Then I remembered my book’s cultures.
The first books MCs’ father would be shown as a bloodthirsty military captian, their mother a brutal taskmaster. The fact that this kingdom has a female home-guard would immediately warp into some feminist program. In…[Read more]

Yay!!! Allegory is one of my favorite genres!
Ok, what are some of my favorites…
A series my sister is writing, which is totally AWESOME!! She doesn’t have a set title yet, but whenever it gets published it will definitely be my go to recommend!

Well, I only have one moon, but it’s not exactly like ours, at least not for this far north Kingdom, and is a huge part of their culture. On the first full moon of the frozen months, she turns blood red (when she’s called Warrior), and the first full moon of warm weather she’s gold (Conqueror). These moons mark the two ‘seasons’ of…[Read more]

That is sweet and good. I’m enjoying hearing about their story.
Oh, Paxton, Luna. I feel so sorry for you. Your author needs to give you both a big hug. (Pretends my charies have no trauma)
If you ever want to rant about your books, feel free to tag me!

Feather and Rinzler
“Well, you’re a persistent one, aren’t you, love?” The new character smirked.
Feather wasn’t quite sure what to say to that. Rinzler growled audibly.
“All right. I’ll give you a deal. I’ll tell you my name…. if you can tell me where I am.” said the new character.
Feather looked around.…[Read more]

Keilah H. replied to the topic Character Castle! in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 3 months ago
@hallie-jean Yep, the Tron series is a little-known story, but I love it (actually listening to the soundtrack right now). Rinzler as I have him doesn’t actually appear or exist–as far as I can tell, anyway–in the original movies, but the name “Rinzler” was once another alias for his father, Tron. So my brother (who works on the stories with m…[Read more]

Keilah H. replied to the topic Age Gap in the forum Characters 4 years, 3 months ago
@godlyfantasy12 Age gap of four years? Not a problem. My parents are six years apart. The pairs in my stories tend to be mostly around the same age, but as long as they’re not like, an old character paired off with a teenager, I think it’s fine.

Keilah H. replied to the topic Character Castle! in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 3 months ago
@hallie-jean Funny story….Rinzler and Feather were both created for fanfictions. Rinzler came from a fanfic written for a series called Tron; he happens to be the son of the titular character. And Feather is actually supposed to be from the Star Wars universe. She and her four sisters were trained in the Republic’s army (three of them, including…[Read more]

Koshka replied to the topic Age Gap in the forum Characters 4 years, 3 months ago
That actually sounds really fun! And as for the age gap, that isn’t a problem. My Grandmother is older than my Grandfather, and there’s a nine year gap between my parents, but seriously, age gaps aren’t a real problem (obviously if God intended), some people simply need someone older/younger than them.
And I love the idea of an…[Read more]

Feather and Rinzler
“Well,” said Feather, “that was rude.”
“Hmmph,” came Rinzler’s voice. He was still looking in the character’s direction.
“Don’t hurt him, Rinzler.” Feather told him. “That’ll make him even less likely to trust us.” She walked up to the character and stood in his line of sight. “My name’s…[Read more]

@hallie-jean Feather is a girl; she is sort of tall with blond hair and gray-blue eyes. She wears armor–if you’ve ever seen any Star Wars movies, something like clone/stormtrooper armor but splattered with paint. She wields a rifle.
Rinzler’s a boy. He has dark brown hair and brown eyes. His clothes are black and have light-up orange lines on…[Read more]

Ah, forgiveness and trust together can be quite powerful. Have you ever read the Promise of Zion series by Robert Elmer? It’s centered around the creation of the Israeli State, and those are a couple of the themes.
The map style is based off folklore, each object made up of others (example: a mountain is, if one looks close enough,…[Read more]

@hallie-jean Maybe my characters could meet yours!
Feather and Rinzler
“Did you hear that?” Rinzler had both discs out, wary.
“It’s probably nothing,” Feather reassured him. They were out of the dungeons, wandering through the hallway again. Hesh and Kent were engaged in conversation behind them.
Suddenly, another c…[Read more]

Keilah H. replied to the topic Have you ever written a sad ending to a story? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 3 months ago
Nope. Not yet. Bittersweet ending to an arc, maybe. Tragic and possibly hopeless ending, no. I’m really not that kind of person. I’ll give a character a sad death, let’s say, but not necessarily one without meaning. The tragic stories I do have end with the character surviving, or getting another chance, etc.

Koshka replied to the topic Have you ever written a story that took place in your hometown? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 3 months ago
Well, I thought it was.
The lead up to the civil war and through till after the reconstruction, but it was less focused on the war and more how it affected the Jewish, Celtic, and Native American populations of the area. It wasn’t a pro north or south book, but simply a story of two families and a war.

At least I have my series practically plotted out. *Sigh* Agreed!
Oh dear! I’m not sure…perhaps either, that we always have a choice to do good or evil no matter if there seems to be no choice left or we have already made wrong ones, OR, even in the darkest places there is yet hope because we belong to another Kingdom.

Hi there! I Koshka, or at least that’s me around here (It’s actually a warped form of a nick name, but anyway…). I’m a bit of a historical clothing/random history nerd, among other things of course.
