@warrioroftherealm, I know this wasn’t really part of the question, but I’m curious what purpose this situation serves for the overall narrative. I know it is good to be as accurate as possible when it comes to these sorts of things, but there are always exceptions to the rule. You could make this experience extremely painful for the hero if…[Read more]

@warrioroftherealm … … … Yeah, I’m not really sure either…. 😛

Use Quora. It’s the best. https://www.quora.com/What-will-happen-if-you-dislocate-your-shoulder-and-dont-pop-it-back-in @warrioroftherealm

@warrioroftherealm I looked it up in a book I have explaining bodily injuries for writers and such (Body Trauma: A Writer’s Guide to Wounds and Injuries by David Page if you’re interested in looking it up). It said that the shoulder must be replaced into the socket “before the shoulder muscles go into spasm,” since then it will be more difficult…[Read more]

@warrioroftherealm Hmm. I’m afraid I wouldn’t know that. You should try Quora.

Also, very late, but I wanted to post 😉

I love historical fiction in the Middle Ages… I haven’t read a lot of it, but the idea really appeals to me. I have written a couple of fiction stories, which aren’t quite fantasy, seeing as there’s not magic or mythical beasts (well, in one there is, but that’s a legend within the world 😉 ) at the most…[Read more]

@warrioroftherealm Most of my stories are fantasy, but they are based off of a medieval type world and government system. As for historical, I haven’t gotten around to that just yet.

@Warrioroftherealm I write medieval historical fiction myself. So far I have two set in 11th-century England (one on each side of the Conquest). I have another set in the seventh century, but that’s a bit early to be defined as medieval. Where and exactly when are yours set?

I have found what everyone has said here very useful. but I was wondering what every one thought about multiple POVs all in first person?

Alright. Hopefully we’re good now. Can you find any way to improve it? Does it attract you? (why or why not?)

Ah, the age old discussion…
I, personally, do not mind reading occasional swearing or ‘bad language’ so long as it is significant in it’s use and does not take God’s name in vain.

There are a few times, I believe, that it is okay to use harsh words in a story, but only certain ones. As @warrioroftherealm has stated before, the D-word is not…[Read more]

@bluejay Yah, I cried too, at the beginning, when I knew his parents would die cause how else would he get stranded in the woods, when he had to choose between Elliot and his ‘family’ and even at the end when he found Elliot again. I wasn’t expecting that, but I guess they weren’t happy to leave it like the old one, where he never sees them again.…[Read more]

@anne-of-lothlorien: I have written a short Choose-your-own-Adventure story in second person. It was fun, but incredibly difficult! I can’t imagine doing 2nd person in any other way than a CYOA. That’s one thing I never liked about CYOA’s. Sometimes, they would say things like, “If you decide to chase after the criminal, go to page 8. If you…[Read more]
