Trahia the Minstrel

@elishavet-pidyon Thanks! I actually created Crossfire for a fanfiction, and Hunter was based off of a character by the same name from a TV show I really liked (and I just tweaked his features to make him my own character). But Torrent and Beaumont were mostly made up on my own.

@koshka Your animal characters sound so cool! Are they animals that stand normally or do they stand on two legs sometimes/most of the time?

@koshka Your cat character sounds so cool! I love that kind of story, with animals which are almost humanoid, but not quite.

@faith-q Yeah, Picket was cool. And at the end, after he loses his arm and his niece is sentenced to “100 tickles for spreading dandelion seeds all over his garden”…..

Picket: “I’ll try to carry out the sentence, but I have only one arm, and one hand on that arm.”

Heather: “If you had two hands on one arm that’d be weird.”

Picket: “Depends on…[Read more]

@thelobsterlover Thanks! I’m trying to decide whether I should give you a character I made up from a fanfiction or a character from an original story….

Also, I love your forum tag. I do that all the time……ah, poor Feather, or Sheerasight, or Terabyte (although that one was my brother’s fault as much as it was mine). And then there’s the…[Read more]

@koshka

Awww, that does indeed sound lovely. ❤️ Where did he go, if I might ask?

XD I love it.

@elishavet-pidyon

Hehe, feel you on that one. 😋 No worries!

XD My writing style usually leans more towards fewer words than too many (unlike when I’m talking in a conversation, when I will r a m b l e for all eternity), so this duology is going to…[Read more]

@e-k-seaver

Oooh thanks for sharing!! How exciting!

@e-k-seaver

OoOoOoOOo THIS IS SO EXCITING!!!! I am EXTREMELY stoked for the Reflections released. I just bought my copy of The House That Didn’t End (I know, I know… took me long enough, lol) a couple of weeks ago and CAN NOT wait to dive into it!!!!! I would sign up for an ARC copy but I sadly don’t meet the platform requirements of over 300…[Read more]

@koshka Thanks!

@lydia-s Your story sounds SO COOL.

@thelobsterlover Ooh! Hmm, I’m trying to figure out which character I should do.

@e-k-seaver Sounds awesome!

@joy-caroline @elishavet-pidyon Now I want to describe my characters from Into the Forbidden Cavern! I’ll just do the members of the Starcatcher family for now….. I haven’t done much on the characters yet, I’m still trying to figure out the world, so you’ll notice there’s a bit of “probably” or “I think” in the descriptions.

Torrent…[Read more]

@koshka

XD One of my favorite parts when I lived in Europe was getting to see all those traces of the medieval age – castles, fortresses, palaces. . . it was awesome.

Indeed he did.

XD Sounds lovely.

If I may venture to ask, what does your signature mean?

@elishavet-pidyon

Hah, those novels can be so stubborn in that regard sometimes. XP Best of luck with this one!

Series, no; novels, yes. I’m planning on writing a duology this year, which will be my first time writing anything that really builds on itself. I’m quite excited for it. 😁

XD Yeah, that’s always a pitfall that can be too easy to…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Ooh, sounds awesome! 😍 This idea has a lot of potential. A few thoughts about your story in particular and fantasy in general, if I may. . .

#1: As I read through the descriptions of the countries, the line between light and dark felt a liiiiiitle too sharp. There are definitely times when that can work, and I get that you’re…[Read more]

@elfwing

Whoa, lots of awesome responses – one thing I’ll add is that it can be nice to focus on more than just one sense. If you usually describe the way the tears burn in the back of your character’s eyes, then mention the way the tears glint in the moonlight. If your habit is to describe how hoarse your character’s voice is, then show their…[Read more]
