Kate Flournoy replied to the topic The Elements of Elemental Cliche… in the forum Fantasy 8 years, 3 months ago
@warrioroftherealm ehehe… well they better not be, because I’m using them. 😛
No, honestly, I think they are. But then, so is a lot of other stuff. I’m confident using ‘elementals’ in my work because the system, while it does incorporate elements, isn’t just about elements. In fact the element part is probably one of the least important bits.…[Read more]

Do you guys think elemental powers (i.e. fire and ice powers) are cliche? And if they are, what are some reasonable alternatives?

@epicaddie2 Definitely! I know what that’s like. I had to fly without my parents last year (I was with my sisters so it wasn’t as bad), but I was a little nervous too. 🙂

@Northerner Was that poem published on here recently called The Human Mind by your sister, or by a totally unrelated Olivia White?

@gh24682468999 this is my favorite image site: https://pixabay.com/
Like all image sites, it has some questionable content if you poke in the wrong corners, but overall it’s pretty good.

@perfectfifths Well, anything, but I think particularly descriptions/sentence structure. I want to make sure it flows just right and is easy to envision.

@daeus Okay, so I just clicked on the link…and couldn’t stop reading. This is magnificent! I only made one comment at the end, but that’s just a suggestion. 🙂 Great work!

Ha! I’m writing a story actually with music based magic, so, yes, it can be done.

@Jenwriter17 ahhh I completely missed this before, sorry. D:
I really like everyone else’s suggestions for twists. Having the ultimate reveal of her family and mentor and all the secrets in the past being an unexpected shock really heightens things. *nodnod*
As for the blurb, it’s a good base to start off from but it’s long and gives a little…[Read more]

Hi, @medomfo. Glad you joined us!
Does the symbol in your profile picture come from anywhere? It just feels like it must belong to some sort of organization.

Hi KeePers,
Some of you may remember a while ago when I posted the first chapter of a short story of diary entries from a character in a novel who doesn’t have a name.
I’ve had the story complete for two months or so and I just finally gave it an edit, so now I’m ready to look for beta readers.
If any of you are interested, it’s a truly short…[Read more]

Daeus replied to the topic Hey Guys…hey…hi…hello in the forum Start HERE 8 years, 3 months ago
@mnvalentine At the moment, I’m writing fantasy too. It’s great stuff! 😀 I consider myself a genre hopper though. I’ve written historical fiction and time travel in the past. I have six fantasy books planned for right now, but once I’m done with those I’ll probably try a biblical fiction trilogy and then who knows what.

@mnvalentine Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet.
Has nobody asked you yet what you write? That’s what I want to know. I’m impressed you’ve been writing all your life!

Completely unrelated. Other Olivia Whites do seem to follow us around, though.
Funny.
We’ve bumped into other Sophia Whites, too — one of them, when we lived in the Cities, went to the same hospital and our records got mixed up once. It’s weird how often that happens.
Oh, and then when people who know us personally call each of us by the other’s name, things get even more complicated in no time.
Uh, yikes. That’s freaky.
What, you and your sister? Do you look similar? That I’m used to. People think my oldest sister Elizabeth and I look incredibly similar (supposedly, we really do, but I don’t think the resemblance is THAT close), and we get called each other ALL the time. People confuse us for twins even. She’s four years older than me.…[Read more]
