Hey guys!
I’m doing some work on this story I wrote for Havok, and I was wondering if y’all would mind taking a look at it and giving me a critique. 🙂 I would be very grateful! Here’s the link: In His Arms

Noah Litle started the topic Expedition (help me with a flash fiction story I'm writing?) in the forum New Wessex Writing Discussions 6 years, 8 months ago
Okay, so at Realm Makers, I met these people from Havok (@gohavok on IG)
They publish flash fiction. And I would like to submit a piece to them. Specifically for their December prompt:

Hey folks,
We’ve got a new guild war. This could be a good lesson in worldbuilding for speculative, historical, or contemporary authors…pretty much anybody.
Prompt: write a story in which two cultures clash.

Sarah Baran started the topic The Elements of an Eerie Antagonist – what makes a villain frightening? in the forum New Wessex Writing Discussions 6 years, 9 months ago
Okay, folks, I want to talk about VILLAINS.
(Wow, so surprising.)
I was wondering why some villains have the power to terrify us while others are more like a tired and sarcastic uncle in background. I see lots and lots of complex & sympathetic baddies (Kylo Ren, Loki), and tons of deranged psychos (Thanos, Mother Gothel, the White Witch), but…[Read more]

Hey guys!
Three announcements concerning New Wessex.
1. I know sometimes community building, brainstorming, etc can be difficult on a forum. So I’m going to run an experiment. I’m going to create a group chat. You guys vote. It could be Facebook, it could be Hangouts. We’ll see how it goes. 😛
2. The guilds as a whole have decided to stop doing…[Read more]

Noodle-Mum replied to the topic Time to write a mystery in the forum Announcements 6 years, 9 months ago
@msqueen8 I think those are all the details we have, yes.
@germaine-han I love that idea! Because then, it would be extremely unique giving him TGA since it’s usually (but not always) in middle aged men! Having a young, high-spirited, college student held back by TGA would make for a very interesting twist!
As for names, I was thinking of…[Read more]

@germaine-han
I like the idea of the MC being a young sprightly college student. 🙂 -
Rachel replied to the topic Time to write a mystery in the forum Announcements 6 years, 9 months ago
I agree with Grace though, we should try to finish brainstorming this thing so we can get it done. So we need to figure out the name and details of our MC, what exactly is the crime, who was either murdered or kidnapped, and what was the motive of who did it? And any details I might have forgotten. 🙂

@germaine-han Writing in two genres is great, though if you ever start focusing on one, that might be where you have the most potential so that could be a good thing too.
@eden-anderson So it’s possible to have toxic relationships with books? 😂

@germaine-han I’m sorry I’m still a little confused, but let me see if I have this right.</p>
So basically we all talk about the prompt and figure out details for it, and then write one story as a group? Is that right? Or do we figure out the details we want and then each write a story with those details?Thanks so much for helping me out ^_^

Rachel replied to the topic Time to write a mystery in the forum Announcements 6 years, 10 months ago
Mysteries have so much potential. 🙂 It could take place anywhere, like in an old abandoned castle, or a spooky manor, and/or a locked room mystery, or anything as random as a lake. Literally anywhere people want to write it. But people should also be thinking about what kind of mystery they want to write about. Such as was something valuable…[Read more]

Hey Saxon Scribes!
At long last, the prompt war is back. This one should be interesting:
