If @steward-of-the-pen would like to write it with you two, I think that’ll be enough. 🙂 But if not, I’d be happy to join

*rushes in from faraway land of Tennessee*
The downside to traveling is I enter the guild war late in the game.
Anyways, guys, I am seeing some STELLAR ideas here!! And now, for MY ideas.
The past three nights, I have dreamed of three things: the first night, somebody said to me “…if you are the New Mercy…”. The second, I was crushing…[Read more]

PursueWisdom replied to the topic Guild War…6? in the forum Announcements 7 years, 9 months ago
Do you usually let us do a roll call vote on the ideas? Or is it less formal?
If less formal, I’m with @steward-of-the-pen idea, although the prompt by @esjohnson was fascinating – perhaps we can connect the two in some way?
And I can volunteer to write it, although it will probably be better if the originator of the main idea…[Read more]

@e-jo3 Sweet! Can you give a basic rundown of the concepts in Inception?
@julia Yes! That is so cool. I love all of K.M.Weiland’s things. So much. When I’m in doubt, that tends to be where I go. *nods* I approve.
@steward-of-the-pen Some great starting ideas! (And Daeus is judging this one.)

Steward of the Pen replied to the topic Guild War…6? in the forum Announcements 7 years, 9 months ago
@calebonline Ooh, cool, I like the idea of having the mystery about what caused the dream! To clarify, when I said the dream should be realistic, I meant we should make the dream seem like a real dream, rather than like events in real life (which would not be a realistic dream). I think it’s important to make it feel like a real dream because,…[Read more]

Ariella Newheart replied to the topic Guild War…6? in the forum Announcements 7 years, 9 months ago
@steward-of-the-pen Wow, nice. I agree on all of that. *two thumbs up* I hardly ever remember my dreams. One I do remember is a nightmare where I was wandering through a dark mansion which had cages of scary creatures on either side of the path. I kept climbing higher and higher through the mansion, and once I made it to the top floor. (I had that…[Read more]

Again, this is a recap lesson to help you keep on improving your skills in Pacing and Suspense!
The goal today is to write a really slow, suspenseless snippet, then one that is full of suspense. BONUS POINTS if they are the same scene. Not that there are points, but that will help give you the right idea.
As always, keep it fairly short. I’m…[Read more]

Hey guys, it’s Caleb!
So I have this character in a video series that I want to develop, and I wanted to see if you could help me.
His name is Bobby Jones, and he is supposed to be a mix between Indiana Jones and an adventure hero stereotype… the thing is, no one meets him. Although the plot of my story revolves around finding him, he’s…[Read more]
