“Well Hades. It would seem most of the people in our group are gone. Why don’t you introduce us to your group.” Search smiles. “Burn’s the only person I’ve known before … whatever this is.”

Very well. This was reasonable. “I’ve learned the names of the people I was with, but as I have said I do not know anyone here personally.”

@hannahrenner – Ooh! That sounds really cool, Hannah!

I’ll just deposit this here. This is far from everything – we haven’t even gotten into politics lol. But a good start…

Name of World: This Place (Kudos to whoever gets the reference. You’ve probably figured out my plot twist.)

Time period: fantasy with modern trappings (so, phones, internet, and other pieces of modern civilization that can…[Read more]

Cathy- That sounds interesting!!!

I can’t wait to read about your worlds!

First, let me tell you what my goal is not right now: my goal is not to tear your work apart. There are parts that choked me up a bit, and I don’t think the ending is too sudden at all! Here is my goal: I want to explain how I feel as a reader. Please don’t be offended.

I think the thing that’s throwing me off a little is that I feel like…[Read more]

I love what-if stories about Scripture. In fact, I’m planning a series that plays with the apocalypse. Where I question this concept is where it concerns God’s character. Would God respond to Satan’s challenge like this? Would He even acknowledge it? Why would He?

I don’t see anything wrong with exploring life post-apocalypse, but…[Read more]

According to MasterClass, the average YA fantasy novel is about 40,000 to 80,000 words. If you plan to take this to a publisher, that would probably be a good number to shoot for. That being said, I like the other answers on here better.

I differ with a lot of people on this topic. The main reason for this is that it seems like media is saturated with horrible people that we’re told to like because their hearts are in the right place. I hate that. When I read about horrible people, I want them to get what they deserve, or to see them redeemed. When I write, I want to give my…[Read more]

Here is how I look at it: I can’t make sense of dark things unless I write about them. I certainly can’t show Christ in dark places unless I go there. In a way, literature is a mission field, which Christians can enter and tell stories of truth and redemption that lead others to Christ. Sherman Alexie wrote a really good article once called Why…[Read more]

Hey, what if Lord Amnesia throws them all into one of our characters’ worlds at some point? That could develop how the characters acted in their own element and develop worldbuilding mechanics and everything!

If anybody’s interested we could use a chart like this to introduce the world and then try to build from there?

SEARCH

Hades adjusts his mask. “I do not know any of these people personally. Do you recognize anyone here?”

“I know Search!” Burn says happily. “And then there’s Snake-Punk. And …” His brow furrows. “Search…”

“… There were still people in those stasis chambers.”

I shiver. “Can we get them out again?”

Burn kneels over the hole – hands pr…[Read more]

Thank you so much for your reply! It’s still relevant!! That really helps me a lot!

Many popular books change POV later in the series like the Divergent Series and the Percy Jackson series. It can take away from the reader’s experience in some cases but in others it enhances the storytelling.

There’s not rule either way that can’t be broken! I think if it clicks really well, adds something fresh to each book narrative and…[Read more]

“I told him he needed to give her flowers, but he didn’t follow my genius advice.” Arsene chirped. Are you done!?!? HE DIDN’T HAVE A CRUSH ON LEANA HE DIDN’T!!!!! WHY WAS EVERYONE TORMENTING HIM LIKE THIS!?!?!?!?!

“Bold words from someone thinks robbing a bank is the perfect way to get a date with his girlfriend.” Alessio grumbled under his bre…[Read more]

Leana accepts the cloth from Alessio, with a pasted smile. (It hurts.) “Thank you.” Where’d you get it?

Nathair glanced at the girl and Nithel, and smirked a little.

Nithel caught the smirk, then looked at the pair with a growing tingly feeling inside. *hasn’t been around Leana over a year, almost two* *she’s never been around guys, really,…[Read more]

“Didja fall through a hole in reality too?” A what? “Never mind – we already know the answer.”

Why was everyone acting weird?

“She’s the planner.” The blind man points at his friend. “I just tell her what she needs to know to plan.”

His companion facepalms again, before voicing her opinion. “Okay. First off, lets see who’s even here. And if yo…[Read more]

Alessio buried his face into Nithel’s shoulder, wanting everything to stop, to just be safe for a few minutes.

There was so much he wanted to say and so many questions he wanted to ask. But he also didn’t want to move or breathe or do anything that might break the spell. Really he just didn’t want to be alone, with no one he could depend on.…[Read more]
