@e-jo3 I’m rather curious. What sci-fi have you read? Just so I have something to compare to.

J.A.Penrose replied to the topic Guild War 4 in the forum Announcements 7 years, 9 months ago
Okay Parimis!
I’ve spent most of today tackling our entry, and have added a lot more character voice. That’s made the prose stronger, but to be honest, ‘unique’ is a rather cryptic phrase. However, we need to cut down a few words. So, cutting back is appreciated!
Once again, here is the…[Read more]

@e-jo3 Also, just going to put it out there, but you need to have emotion in all stories. And generally, Sci-Fi is actually one of the most renowned types. I’ve recently edited a novel that was sci-fi, and it was amazing with highly strong character voice and with an exceptional plot. I’m fairly certain that not containing emotion and drama is not…[Read more]

@emily-d Hah, yeah, well, I’ve been pulled out of school until they have more of an idea of how bad of a condition I’m in, so mostly that’s just resulted in me being bored and realising how mushy my brain is. So glad you’re enjoying it though! That’s actually our main goal.
@e-jo3 I’m dedicating today to fixing up this entry. Tomorrow I’m…[Read more]

STELLAR WORK PARIMIS!!!!!
(Yes, I’m tagging you all cos I really will get confused with all of the scrolling and hunting for what different people have said. :P)
PROSE: Haha, Shakespeare is probably not an ideal thing to be weaving in. Doesn’t fit allllll that well. However, in general, we will need to be working on making the prose really…[Read more]

@jessi-rae That is brilliant! (Plus, Jane may or may not be obsessed with The Greatest Showman…And she may or may not play that on piano. XD) What if at the end our dieter grabs the cake and stands on the couch or something and they ‘sing’ it?
Also guys, even though you aren’t even my guild, I reckon you could well have this war. *claps* At…[Read more]

Hoooopefully, it will be letting you make suggestions. I’ll then accept them. It just means that we can see who’s saying what, and that nothing can just happen or get deleted by accident. With any luck, that will make it easier not harder.
If it isn’t letting you make suggestions, then flick me an email at jessicapenrose2@gmail.com…[Read more]

Hi Parimis!
As you may have gathered, I’m not exactly well at the moment, hence I haven’t even looked at what you’ve done last week. Sorry about that. D:
As it is, seeing that, a) I’m currently a mess, and b) there’s a guild war going on, that you can just give some feedback on how you reckon the annual theme topic is going.
Have you been…[Read more]

(Quick apology, I’ve edited it now, but the random ‘hopeful planet’ thing was me getting confused between the guilds. *headdesk* The Meerkats are doing a dieter/cake story)

Heh, mostly that they hurry up and diagnose me. *grimaces*
Yay! That’s good!
Looks like I will be around, if not, contact Daeus. Normally I’d say to get onto Jane, but she’s judging. Chances are, she’d actually have arranged something anyways seeing that she would be one of the first to know if I was hospitalised.
Other…[Read more]

Hello Parimis!
If you hadn’t gathered already, you may well have drawn the short straw with this guild. *grimaces* I’m sick again, and hopefully will be diagnosed later today, but prayers are always appreciated. (with any luck I won’t be hospitalised) But yes, prayers for health are always appreciated as I seem to end up with some weird…[Read more]

Okay guys! Looking like we’re set to write this stellar story on the dieter vs cake! Let’s get writing. *cheers*
Here is a DOC if we want to start writing. Remember to all pitch in with editing and generally throwing ideas at the piece of paper like those rebellious marshmallows I mentioned earlier. I’ll help you guys as much as you seem to need…[Read more]

@esther-sears Sounds like a plan!
Okay guys, just over one week left, and we need to get a character, plot, theme, etc. AND GET IT WRITTEN AND AHHHH IT NEEDS TO BE AWESOME. Or Jane may well kill me… XD
So guys, let’s look at answering some basic questions:
- Who are the characters? (develop)
- What is the genre?
- What is the theme/arc?

Yes, I can do that. I’ll send the email and give you a few days, then have you removed if you still feel you can’t manage it. </3

@evelyn Patterson is pretty good. *nodnod* Lawson is depressing at times, and Dennis is generally very bizarre. (Who else writes about a Triantiwontigongolope?)

@evelyn Yesssss, poetry is something I love! I kinda swa between what I write, so, no particular style! 🙂
And goodness. There’s a lot of poets!
Anyone else here read Aussie poetry? Banjo Patterson, Henry Lawson… C.J.Dennis?
