Oh that sounds SOO cool! I’d totally read that! That’s cool that you write with your sister too! I have 4 siblings, but none of them like to write XD. Although, my little brother is one of my main beta readers, which has been interesting lol.

That’s awesome! I haven’t written many short stories (mostly cuz when I do, they end up…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel

It is confusing. But somewhere I heard that apparently if your book is set in some other world it atomaticaly becomes Fantasy. Whether or not that is true, it was helpful, at least to this beginning writer.

I don’t have anything against the type of magic in Narnia and Wingfeather, where ‘magic’ really just means God’s power…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel. @elishavet-pidyon

The Horse and His Boy is my favorite Narnia book! That and the end of The Last Battle. Ah, the Hermit…

@trahia-the-minstrel

Yeah, it’s not really plagiarism…. I just have a talent for unwittingly using names others have either used or used similar ones. The funniest thing, is that the names aren’t usually common. I make them up myself.

Ah, that blissful book! There have been many times I’ve quoted the Hermit to myself….

@trahia-the-minstrel
Ah yes, I write somewhere in that vague genre of medieval fantasy. Do you include magic or not? I honestly didn’t think I was in the afore mentioned genre as there is none in my books. But lo and behold, I am somewhere in there alright.

@trahia-the-minstrel

Thank you!!!

It is rather crazy.

*Starting to wonder if I have a talent for accidental plagiarism or if this is just another mad coincidence.  Then realises what the Hermit of the Southern March would say to that, and shuts mouth.*

@trahia-the-minstrel Yes!! It’s so hard for me to move into writing a new book, editing is one of my favorite parts. I feel like it’s easier to see the light at the end of the tunnel when I’m almost done editing, you know? Like all the effort is about to pay off, because I’m almost done with the project, and it’ll be published soon or something…[Read more]

It’s been a while since I’ve popped into the forum, and I’m so sorry I never replied to y’all!! Life got crazy!!

I guess now is as good a time as any since I happen to be the Queen of Belated Things (hence, the title of this thread…and the fact that I’m still working on a birthday gift for a friend who had her birthday in August… and how I’m…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel

haha, I’ve got that exact thing. Zyla is crying and Kedja does scream.

The only reason that Kedja can get Zyla to leave her is that they are using Zyla to try to get Kedja to work for them by torturing Zyla (yeah manipulative evil people). Kedja can’t bear it anymore and has to get Zyla free because she can’t bear that so…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting
True. Where do all those Eastern Dragons be tho?

@trahia-the-minstrel

True. True. I actually liked the three introductions when I first read it too. I thought it was a deliberate poke at all the fantasy clichés. I hoped the story would be a somewhat fun yet heartfelt parody of the common fantasy stories. However, the rest of…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel

You’re good. Yes, I did get the email!! Sorry for my late response. The weekend was busy and then school slammed on me right after that, but I plan to be catching up to all my emails this evening. *GASPS*  EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I AM SOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Aaaah, YES!!! See?…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel

Oh that’s so cool! So you heard Japan recognized it?

Thanks! I’ll look into that:). My local library has some manga, but really it’s just some popular anime stuff, usually adapted into manga.

Yes! That is such a gorgeous scene. There are so many perfect times like that in ATLA. I was so happy when it came back on Netflix.…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel YES I  l o v e  that series!!! It’s literally one of the best out there. and so well-thought!!

@trahia-the-minstrel I’ve read the whole of Assassination Classroom and I agree that the content/humor can get very. Um. Yeah. But also the overall story and themes are really good, so I view it in a positive light. Dr. Stone I’ve gotten a lot of ads for, but haven’t watched it yet.

Um. Content for Code Geass (it’s been years)… I watched it…[Read more]

Okay. I’m going back to the gym now. This was way too much nerdy book stuff for one day.

IT’S LEG DAY BABY LEZZ GOOOO!

@trahia-the-minstrel I was about to get SO mad at you when I saw you talking about The Viking Quest on this forum XDD I went back to read why ‘it didn’t age well for you’ and now I’m sorry for being so upset XD That series is one of my all time FAVORITES <3 it’s one of the first books that got me into reading, I’ve reread it and embarrassing…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel

Ooooo I’ve been REALLY wanting to read The Story Peddler!!! It sounds like it’d be SO awesome!!! That’s a great idea!!! ooo I sooo hope it all works out for you. <3333 YES YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!! I’ll keep an eye out for anything that might could be trimmed down if it helps. 🙂

Yes, that’ll definitely work out for me!!!…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel
Ooof, yeah, I feel you. I’ve currently gotten behind on my review books (books authors have sent me to read and write a review for), so I feel you. Awesome!!!!! That totally works for me!!!!

YES!!!! I LOVE ENCLAVE!!!!!! They are AMAZING!!! In fact, the book I’m currently read The Vault Between Spaces by Chawna Schroeder is…[Read more]

Sorry it took a while to respond. Life…

@kathleenramm

The original story behind Robin Hood if you read any history is quite different then the young man who is kicked out of his home because he’s loyal to King Richard and who’s madly in love with Maid Marian. But the whole “when he lived”, “what exactly he did”, etc  are up to huge debate.…[Read more]
