Magic systems!

I don’t love too banal systems (you do magic -> you tire) , but I also want my characters to use magic, so it can’t be a demonic witchcraft that costs you your soul / memory / sanity / etc. The solution I came up with is to address magic like, let’s say, sport – On it’s own, it’s neutral and totally fine. The problems…[Read more]

@beth20 Check out this discussion we had about it in February.

Thank y’all… 🥰🥰

@beth20 Ooh, that’s such a neat premise!

@chalice Okay, that storyline has so much potential to be so crazy and fun 😆

Also @beth20 and @chalice, I’ll post the link to my alpha-call post and tag y’all in it. 😉

@eden-anderson, Your story sounds so sad and sweet! 😥❤ My dad plays guitar, so stories about guitarist are always a little nostalgic for me. I’m sure yours will turn out beautifully!

@arindown, Ahh! Your story sounds like something I would love to read. 😄 Country town, large cast of characters… 👌 Oh, yeah.

@beth20, Ooh, your premise sounds…[Read more]

@beth20 Ooh, your story sounds cool too! It seems like a very fun/adventurous premise. 😀

@beth20

Your story sounds really good! Love how you’re using normal kids, and then throwing them into a fantasy world.

Thanks. I feel like my stories are kinda a sit-by-the-fire sort. They’ve already provided my sisters and I hours of laughter. If I ever really get around to writing them, I hope they’ll do the same for other people.😊

@tal Aah, gotcha.

@ariella-newheart You’re good! Yeah, so basically Dharin and Jaylin left the girls back in the hall, and now they (the guys) have run into Isaac and then Luke. Issac is masquerading as a Frenchman, and Dharin is by now almost totally convinced that this whole thing is an experiment that’s being run by a team of wizards. 😀

Hope…[Read more]

Hi Beth,

Wow it’s been so long since I have been on SE. My online school just finished and I’ve been super busy with exams and such

Me and Katja are NOT sisters LOL. We are just friends. We’ve known each other for a very long time 🙂

@beth20 Cool idea! Here’re mine, in no particular order:

Lord of The Rings – J.R.R. Tolkien

The Hobbit – J.R.R. Tolkien

Ranger’s Apprentice series – John Flanagan (Mild swearing alert)

All the Percy Jackson series – Rick Riordan (Greek mythology, with their gods and goddesses and all)

Airman – Eoin Colfer (Mild swearing)

Harry Potter – J.K.…[Read more]

@beth20

Yeah, that’s the author I talked about. He’s brilliant, but I don’t recommend his books to anyone of you.

@beth20

I read them in the recommended reading order, so the next book I read was The Black Star of Kingston.

@beth20

That would be Helmer. He’s definitely one of my favorites from the series.

#1 Favorite: Wingfeather Saga. My favourite character is Kalmar, because he’s so stubborn (like me) but he turns out as a leader in the end. Of course, Artham is pretty awesome too.😂

#2: Lord of the Rings. It’s hard to pick a favourite character…but I’d have to go with Frodo. I love his innocence, and his fun-loving outlook (I have a friend…[Read more]
