HOW DID I NEVER SEE THIS???
Count me in!
@ethan-leonard Discord works way better for me too – I’m horrible at checking (and replying to) emails, plus with discord you can send related media, gifs etc…
Idk, discord’s just really fun in general XD I feel like it’s also way more casual, so there’s less pressure to write something amazing or…[Read more]

@emily-waldorf @e-n-leonard the Save the Cat method is kind of an expansion of the three act plot structure that gives you very clear “beats” or plot points that occur in a certain order at certain times. I really like that it’s extremely structured, but also very flexible! I found that after I read about it and really thought about it, I r…[Read more]

Val:
“Is that your boyf–b-brother?”
I glance up to see a short man beside me, staring inquisitively. Immediately, I drop Calix’s hand, face burning. To think that I’d been casually holding hands with a stranger this whole time….
I glance over at Calix, nervously searching his face. He glares past me, eyes fix…[Read more]

ALSO @emily-waldorf I LOVE YOUR NEW PROFILE PICTURE!!!
Ravens are one of my favorite birds!

@emily-waldorf are you familiar with the Save the Cat method? That’s the one I’m using right now, and so far it’s really helping!
I’ll still stay in the thread though – maybe once I start nailing the plot down, I’ll have something to tell you guys XD

@e-n-leonard @emily-waldorf Sorry I haven’t been active here! So…after yet another major plot overhaul, my friends finally convinced me to seriously study plot structure…and so here I am…back at square one…with very little plot to show you guys :’)

solanelle replied to the topic The Place of Plots in the forum Plotting 2 years ago
I’ll start typing mine out!

solanelle replied to the topic The Place of Plots in the forum Plotting 2 years ago
@e-n-leonard thank you! Do you want to start off by describing our plots and listing a few issues we need resolved?
This…could take a while XD

calidris replied to the topic Character Castle 2.0 in the forum Fantasy Writers 2 years ago
@e-n-leonard I actually think Emily was talking about starting our own (between the three of us!)

calidris replied to the topic Character Castle 2.0 in the forum Fantasy Writers 2 years ago
@e-n-leonard @emily-waldorf that would actually be really fun! I think three is actually a really great number for something like that tbh – not too big, but not too small either

calidris replied to the topic Character Castle 2.0 in the forum Fantasy Writers 2 years ago
@emily-waldorf thank you so much! I might actually end up using a combination of the two, depending on what need help with XD

calidris replied to the topic Character Castle 2.0 in the forum Fantasy Writers 2 years ago
OR BOTH XD
@everyone What would be kind of cool is if the entire audience was like a hologram or simulation…
WAIT
GUYS
START FIGURING OUT WHAT YOU WANT YOUR CHARACTERS TO WEAR!!!
So, I think Kit and the other people who choose the fashion show (or fail the challenge) are going to be separated from the rest in a group off to the left, then…[Read more]

UGGHHH EXACTLY!!!
I think it’s especially hard when you have this story you absolutely love, and you’re just scared you won’t do it justice! Idk about you, but it’s hard thinking about how the story I love so much right now won’t be my best work 20 years in the future…but I mean, you have to start somewhere XD
I would really appreciate…[Read more]

@everyone btw, would you like to have the characters go down one at a time, or get separated into groups? Because I figured there could be some…rather entertaining backstage interactions (kind of like the ballet, for those who remember) XD
I was originally thinking that all of the characters who chose the fashion show would be separated in a…[Read more]

Val:
I glance back as the wall behind me suddenly creaks, rolling forward with a grinding screech. “The room’s shrinking!” someone yells. I stumble, yanking Calix forward as the crowd surges around us. The walls in front roll back, parting as we flee the room. It’s so much darker in this new room. I shrink back as people bump into me, brus…[Read more]

@inkhorn @mamaauthoress I’m going to start the next challenge! We can still continue our character interactions, if you’d like 🙂

“C-Calix,” the boy wheezes as he takes my hand. “Calix Meir.”
“Nice to meet you.” I smile as I pull him out of the corner. He nods, hand trembling. Are you sure you’re ok?
We can talk about that later. Right now, I have to find Kit. I glance around the room, a sharp retort suddenly catching my attention. Kit’s standing in…[Read more]
