Hey guys, It’s been a crazy week for me, I’m just checking in on you all, how’s it going? What art have you done in the past week? We would all love to see it!

This is mine. I did a couple of things just for fun, one of e…[Read more]

@kate *salutes back*

@r-j-karas *fastclap, confetti, cheering, balloons, candy, and a pinata.* Good work! I did notice that you didn’t say it was a fish at the beginning. I’m glad to hear that was on purpose. No wonder there were so few visuals in the beginning. 😀

@rosemarylouise I’m excited too!

Thanks, @chalice, @samuel, @rosemarylouise, @se…[Read more]

@ethryndal *chokes* The ACCURACY…

@ethryndal um… wow. *dies laughing*

@ncstokes @ethryndal @kate

You guys are awesome. Also, made a hundred times more awesome by the fact that I happen to be listening to “Red and Black” as I type this.

@kate Thanks for all the input, and for volunteering to submit the final draft.

I do think we should try and vote as soon as possible, so we can put as much work into the draft before we submit it.

For those of you who haven’t read them yet:

Fish: Child

Under The Sun

@Kate DO YOU HEAR THE PEOPLE SIIIIIIIING!!???? *belts loudly and off-key while tripping and almost falling off the top of the barricade*

@ethryndal “Black… the color of AM I THE ONLY ONE TAKING THIS SERIOULSLY RIGHT NOW???”

@wordsmith You are welcome. We do. *nods* (*clears throat* Me look bad? Says the guy whose poor character accidentally killed his mom when he was five and then his dad leaves.)

*grins* Better to be friends, than enemies.

Why would I deny this event occurring?
Yes, but this kingdom has not yet faced the modern weapons of certain wars that…[Read more]

Okay, everybody.

Epic reveal:

Fish: Child

I could’t decide on the title Fish: Child, or Child Fish. Votes would be appreciated. Of if you have a better title suggestion, that would also be appreciated.

The human might need a name, too, but I’m not as worried about that.

Other than that, edit away. Which kind of scares me, but this is going t…[Read more]

@Kate *waves red banner*

@ethryndal *constructs barricade*  I understand Enjolras’ “Oh you got a girlfriend Marius how nice for you but YOU KNOW WE STILL HAVE A REVOLUTION TO DO” attitude very much. XD

@kate

What @ethryndal said.

@Noahlitle @ethryndal @daeus-lamb @samuel @r-m-archer guys, I had an idea/thought. I was ruminating over prose and its connection to the identity side of the character’s voice, and I pulled up an old thought that it might be helpful to share here.

In regards to metaphors, character voice determines their mood and connotations. For instance, a…[Read more]

@kate @ethryndal Thanks guys! I’m excited to see what I come up with too.

I definitely agree with @ethryndal on doing something contemporary, because however wacky/cool our ideas might get, if we want the spotlight to shine on the prose, then we’ll need that making the story pop, and not necessarily awesome fantasy settings.

I don’t have an opinion on POV; I’m fine with whatever.

Perhaps for the purposes of this p…[Read more]

@Ethryndal that’s a great point. I vote for contemporary, and probably First Person. Though I stink at it, so I don’t think I’ll volunteer to draft it this time. 😛

@itisastarrynight @chalice @writerforever @the-fledgling-artist @ethryndal

Alright you guys, I’m going to jump in here now. Also props to you all for taking me on a ride and into a conversation that I wasn’t expecting to happen. I was expecting a dialogue more along the lines of can we include fan art in our portfolios, etc.

I’m going to be…[Read more]

Hmm, I really like the urban fantasy idea! It’s like the best of both worlds.

However, I see the point @ethryndal made about the contemporary pushing us toward deeper prose.

I could go either way with the genre, but if I had to cast a vote, I’d have to go with urban fantasy. The goal is to have the most original and creative prose, so if writing…[Read more]

@ethryndal That’s a really good point.
