@Emma-Flournoy nah. I’d rather throw in my lot with the rebels, thanks.

@Brandon-Miller 😀

@Christi-Eaton @Emma-Flournoy YOU GUYS ARE HAVING A LES MIS PARTY WITHOUT ME???? *sniff* I’m so betrayed.
*wanders off singing ‘On my own…’*

@WarrioroftheRealm is there one particular thing that played any defining role in the villain’s life at all? Signets are chosen for their personal significance. It should be something relevant to the character. What one thing really means a lot to him? Perhaps it has some hidden symbolism.

@WarrioroftheRealm hm… let me see. My first idea was, is there any way the villain could have a motive for meeting them without revealing who he is? Maybe he could go and seek them out for that reason (is he curious? Afraid? Daring? Arrogant?) and meet them as a simple traveler, and things escalate from there.
Or maybe he needs to ship something…[Read more]

@Daeus I think @Spradlin is rubbing off on you. XD

@Hope lovely. *grins*

Daeus, you should make that the beginning of a satirical piece mashing a ton of different genres together and bending cliches into complete un-recognition.

@Emma-Flournoy yessssssssss. that. so. much. that.

Oh wait, you’re my sister, you knew I liked that one… 😛

Have a link, guys.

@Anne-of-Lothlorien yes! Proof of Your Love, For the Dancing and the Dreaming, all the Piano Guys’ songs (check out Arwen’s Vigil.) and Edge of Night— I can’t even sing that without getting chills. 😀

A newfound favorite of mine that actually reads more like a hymn than anything else is this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMH0UwzlUL4

@Anne-of-Lothlorien no, I haven’t. He sounds really good though. Is it high fantasy (epic) or heroic fantasy (personal)? Or a mix? LotR is a mix.

Welcome to the forum, @Sierra-R— welcome to the bestistest place on the internet. 😉 I have to say I’ve been wanting you to join the forum ever since you won the Picture Prompt Story Contest… what… a year ago? 😛 I really loved that story.
So… it’s about time! XD

Heeeeyyy! In Freedom’s Cause, I’ve read that one. It’s been awhile, but I remember it being not too bad for a Henty.
High praise, I know. 😛

And Scottish Chiefs is definitely worth reading. Not the best written in all aspects by any means, but I still enjoyed it quite a bit.

@Sarah-H

@Dragon-Snapper YAY!!! *balloons, confetti, lemonade, sherbet, cookies, sparkles*
It’s a glorious feeling, isn’t it?

*gulp*

*covers face with hands* @Daeus please.

@Daeus LOVE IT!!!!!! XD XD

@Daeus send it to me.

@Emma-Flournoy well yeah, but Kili as a character could have been better done even without the Tauriel fiasco. :/

@Anne-of-Lothlorien hm… ‘Out of the Mouths of Children’? Okay, that may be a little long and a little obvious… 😛

I really like @Daeus‘s ‘I’ll Fly Away’.

Aaaaaand I’m drawing a blank. I’ll let you know if I think of anything else though.

@Anne-of-Lothlorien no, I haven’t. And please don’t remind me of Kili… *groans* I like him much better in the book. 😛

SO, I offer you sympathy. *offers sympathy on a silver platter* But I really can’t relate. XD

@R-E-P sure, no problem. I work best with examples too. 😉
So take this first paragraph: The wind whistled through the crenelations on the castle wall. To Carl, it was a common place sound and he was not consciously aware of it. Regardless, it made a fitting backdrop for his boyish imagination as he planned a strategic mission against the wily…[Read more]
