Hi! I hope I can answer your questions a bit.

The way I usually name things depends on what it is. For places, I kind of use whatever I want, but with my current WIP I’ve been using words in other languages that match the place. like I have one kingdom called Magnus, after the Latin word for great. It’s the biggest kingdom on my continent (plus…[Read more]

Hi

I have dwarves

They live in mountains. Well, not IN mountains. Near them. In ‘fairy chimneys’ like in Laodecia. But they are more like cretes from The Ilyon Chronicles.

HEY TASHAH IT’S ME ACE YES I’M ACTUALLY ON HI

*ahem*

Figured I might as well say oya, since you just joined and all.

@tashah-claymore

Before I start saying anything, let me just announce that I have nothing deep or super meaningful to add to this . . . anyways here we go.

As someone who has anxiety and ADHD and some other stuff, I can tell you that almost every book I’ve ever read where a character has things like that get it wrong. (And that’s maybe . .  . six books. And…[Read more]

I’m so sorry I haven’t been here! I went on a couple vacations, and then did a bunch of 5 Day Clubs, and then was grounded. I’ll try to be on more often, I promise.

Wow. That was . . . -insert adjective that is more expressive than awesome-

-hides in a hole- I can’t critique this, somebody more experienced do it!

@bigideaskc THEY’RE AMAZING. Although, if you don’t have much time I wouldn’t suggest trying to read it. It takes ME two full days of nonstop reading to get through the entire thing. (I have a special book with all of the LOTR books and also appendices)

@evelyn @pursuewisdom @bama-rose Thanks for the help! Turns out my mom signed me up for it and forgot to tell me . . . -facepalm-

-slips into topic-

Um, hi @mariposa ! Could I perhaps be in this story?

JUST IN CASE YOU WOULD LIKE TO PUT ME IN, HERE IS HOW AISLINN IS WRITTEN:

I’m a hero, like the most crazy reckless danger-magnet hero ever

My right arm is bionic

I call people naff-nuts and use random words in random languages

“FIGHT ME”

Huge dark eyes, lots of dark…[Read more]

I APPROVE! THIS IS AWESOME. What if the guy meets the Hero’s sidekick? I have, er, lots of experience with sidekicks. I like them.

It’d be like a choose-your-own-adventure story! Or, like the narrator talking to the MC or reader. I’ve actually tried this before. It’s pretty fun. Especially if your narrator is super snarky.

@kari-karast Really, I only know how to write Aislinn and Kayden because of my own stuff, and I don’t know if it would help anyone else. I don’t have normal PTSD anyway. -shrugs- Totally going to use stuff on this page though.

Oya, everyone! I’M BACK . . . KIND OF. I was in Avensbeck right at the beginning, so it’s cool that I get to come back a . . . whole . . . year . . . later. Hehe. -hides in hobbithole of shame-

But anyway. Aislinn Mollisong, HERO, at your service! I write speculative fiction (so far only fantasy, but I’ve got sci-fi-ish stuff planned) and my…[Read more]

Is it wrong that I actually loved this character when you first described her? Because I totally do. Even more since you explained her arc, but seriously, meeting her like you described her in the first post would not make me dislike her at all. She seems like a very awesome charrie to start an adventure with.

YKYAWW you’re at a driver’s ed class and your instructor says ‘A Good driver knows how to correctly manage time and space’ and you immediately start brainstorming this nebulous thing involving time-traveling space pilots who are very bad at the time-traveling part but very good at the space piloting.

(These may have been said before . . .)

YKYAWW people have to stop you in the middle of a sentence and ask, “Is this a real person, one of your internet friends, or a character?” because there really isn’t any distinction.

YKYAWW your siblings are sick of playing with you because you kinda sorta accidentally are always the main character and get…[Read more]

I just started using World Anvil and I think its incredibly useful. Way better than Notebook AI.

Okay hi, yes, you don’t know me, but WOW ZIKERS I AM IN AWE, KIDDO

1. Not very bad at all. You have actual real talent, no joke, really and truly.

2. Yes yes YES. Your descriptions are PERFECT. As someone who struggles at description in particular, I can’t get over how well you executed it. Your dialogue feels totally natural too.

3. You’re…[Read more]
