Linyang Zhang replied to the topic Have you ever written a story that took place in your hometown? in the forum Topic of the Week 2 years, 6 months ago
@kathleenramm I’ve had some places based off of places near where I live, though I never mention them by name. I used to mention street names though, haha.
One time I did read a book set in my hometown (it was never explicitly stated but I figured it out using context clues) and hoo boi that was weird.

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic *Ahem* functional character problems in the forum Characters 2 years, 6 months ago
@denali-christianson Not me making like all my characters Asian because I’m Asian heh….
Okay I had this convo with someone else a few months ago so let me just copy/paste it here…
for me, i honestly don’t like it when diversity is forced in a book. if you feel like your character should be white, then make them white, if not, then make them…

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic THE WORLDBUILDING THREAD in the forum Fantasy 2 years, 6 months ago
@denali-christianson I’m glad I’m a relatable person! 😀 Sometimes I think I’m just in the corner doing wack and setting things on fire while all the other writers have their lives together.

@denali-christianson Heh I haven’t had this much stimulation on the forum for ages. For years. I can tell we’re going to have a fun time! In a non-threatening way, of course. *added exclamation mark to sound less threatening*
Oof haha sometimes I get lazy over things but never enough to like, stop doing it. I’m usually overcommited and will stick…[Read more]

@denali-christianson Yes.
UhhhhhhhHHHHHHHH I know @e-k-seaver and @daisy-torres have made book trailers before. If I were you, and had zero budget and wanted to make live action, then I would use like a free stock video site like this one: https://mazwai.com/#/grid (I’ve seen one of my favorite artists make a lot of beautiful music videos using…[Read more]

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic THE WORLDBUILDING THREAD in the forum Fantasy 2 years, 6 months ago
@denali-christianson I think I’ve given up on worldbuilding at this stage in life, for all my projects now it’s either like, “What generally fits the vibe of this story” if it’s something short or casual, or, “What would make sense in the story and help me achieve the goals of my plot/character arcs/themes” if I’m being serious and hardworking, or…[Read more]

Haha this is the first time I’ve like met people who’ve enjoyed my writing online.
And now I’m resisting the urge to plug a self-promo.…[Read more] -
Linyang Zhang replied to the topic I volunteer as tribute! in the forum Start HERE 2 years, 6 months ago
@denali-christianson Haha yeah I feel that. I also feel that nowadays a lot of medieval fantasy feels like a LOTR ripoff.
Yes I really loved ballet! Pity I had to stop.
Aww, thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic I volunteer as tribute! in the forum Start HERE 2 years, 6 months ago
@denali-christianson Heheh sci-fi in medieval fantasy is honestly better than regular ol’ medieval fantasy. It’s really quite overdone.
And yah I did ballet instead of figure skating but they’re kinda similar so yeah

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic Thinking alone vs talking with others. Which gives you more story ideas? in the forum Topic of the Week 2 years, 7 months ago
@kathleenramm Hmm I’m not used to brainstorming with others but sometimes I’ll brainstorm if I’m really really stuck, usually I prefer to get ideas from everywhere around me and letting it simmer in my head into something coherent. Maybe because I’m not used to telling other people about my ideas XD And they’ll probably not understand the end vibe I want.

@denali-christianson Aw haha thanks! Yeah, I’ve been ghosting the KP forum a lot lately, idk why. Busy writing, I ‘spose.
Hmm, short stories and novels are probably my favorite, and if it’s a mix of fantasy and crime and time travel or something mind-bending it’s really fun, haha.
Oh, you know, I decided to follow in the sensible path of a…[Read more]

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic Has a song ever inspired a story, scene, or character? in the forum Topic of the Week 2 years, 7 months ago
@kathleenramm Yes, definitely! There’s too many to count, haha. But a couple I can remember:
- Bird Song by Florence and the Machine
- Gasoline by Brand New, covered by Falling Up
- Daylight by Northern Abbey
I’ve tried starting some based off of them, but usually I just write down the ideas and keep it for later. Too many ideas, too little time.
