@sarah-inkdragon It took me a while to find my tag in your post XD

@hope-ann What an interesting topic. I’m assuming that by technology you mean like inventions and things. Since I know nothing about the past of my fantasy world (Well, I know nothing until the Crown Prince gets banished) I can’t really say how it has evolved.

In my book it’s…[Read more]

@sarah-inkdragon Yeah, the ‘we’re all human’ part is something that I’d like to show in my writing, too. The main characters are very far from perfect, and the villains are honestly good at times.

Also have you noticed that whenever you ask someone who their favorite character is from some popular book and they usually always say the main…[Read more]

@karthmin Yes, high fantasy can be done well. J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings is the epitome of high fantasy, I think. I hope that you will be different. Because it would be a pleasure in reading high fantasy that I can enjoy again.

@karthmin 1. Clarity. The story takes a moment to get into, but the reader is able to catch on quickly. It seems like you spent a lot of time world building; it sounds fascinating.

2. Melodrama. I haven’t really encountered melodrama much, so I’m not really sure what it’s like, but I think your story’s fine.

3. The ratio between dialogue and…[Read more]

Gah I typed this all out and then I edited it and now it’s gone and it was really long too….*cries*

@sarah-inkdragon

so, yeah, I don’t like high fantasy because it’s cliched, and elves and dwarves and goblins in a Medieval setting gets really tiring after a while…which is why I include a lot of modern clothing and conveniences in my fantasy…[Read more]

I’m…failing…falling off a cliff…stressed.

@karthmin Thank you for taking the time to read and critique my writing. I’m glad you enjoyed it, and thank you for pointing out what needs to be fixed. I’ll do my best to improve my writing based on your pointers. To clear things up a bit, the woman is Death. Then again, that might not clear up anything at all. XD

I’ve never read Paolini but we did have a guy duct taped to a tree read us the first chapter of Inheritance. It’s on my to-read list but I don’t think I’ll attempt it because I can’t stand high fantasy.

Yes, it is Owl City. Fireflies. I’ll try to get to yours too!

And I’ll attempt to tag everyone…

@karthmin Yesss….We shall find a nice copy…with no illustrations….gollum, gollum

Hmm…it’s been a while since I’ve read the Hobbit, and to be honest, I barely remember any of it. I had a really hard time reading it for two reasons: a) My copy was falling apart completely, and it was really hard to hold without having the pages slip everywhere and b) It was filled with a lot of really terrible pictures of everybody and it was…[Read more]

Wow, I can’t wait to read it.

This is really coincidental, but the original name for my story for the contest was going to be Bloody Footprints. However, I changed it afterwards, so…XD
