Hi Knaplingers,
I’ve been working on a short story for SE’s contest and I’d hugely appreciate any beta reading, commenting, and feedback you guys are able and willing to give. It probably still needs a lot of help, but I hope you guys still enjoy it!

@erica-wordsmith That sounds like a blast!
@e-b-raulands Maybe they set out to kill him but have to settle for imprisonment because the Hunter from Snow White is onto their schemes and is allied with Mr. MacGregor? Or something like that…

@r-m-archer I’m glad it helped! I really only felt like there were minor things to comment on. The plot, characters, and worldbuilding are all so, so good. Yep, I’d be happy to give it another read-through!
Mine is here!!!! https://1drv.ms/w/s!AvW4C3toKDfAgXDZjicPAisSPxL7 Warning: it’s in Word, which is way less convenient for commenting than…[Read more]

@toklaham-veruzia Thanks for reading Candle and I’m glad you enjoyed it! I considered entering it, but the word limit for the contest is 5k and Candle is over 9k, so I’d have to cut out basically half the story. I didn’t think I could make that work very well.
The reason I had people call her “the evil woman” all the time was that they were too…[Read more]

@r-m-archer will do!

@r-m-archer and @edmund-lloyd-fletcher I read both your stories! They were super different but I enjoyed each a lot. Do you want a full beta read, or do you just want high-level, general feedback? Thanks for letting me read these!
And @edmund-lloyd-fletcher I “got it” when you told the name of the county. 😁

JennytheFaun replied to the topic Short Story Contest in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 10 months ago
@r-m-archer Yup, I’d still love to! I probably won’t get a chance to read it until tomorrow evening though. Hopefully in a few days I’ll have mine ready for y’all to read. It needs your help XD
@edmund-lloyd-fletcher I volunteer to read yours too

@wordsmith Lol, I haven’t finished A Story of Heroes yet either, so I can’t give you a hard time. How’s the Flabbit Room been? Are there any other Flabbits here?
@evelyn and @trufflehunter Yep, PoYD is pretty great. I might have liked The Deeps of the Dragon King just a smidge better (the guilt! the redemption! the sea dragons!), but it’s a close…[Read more]

@r-m-archer Lol, I’m pretty excited about it too…the thing is I’ve been planning a lot but I haven’t drafted it yet, so I’m a bit nervous about it living up to all my expectations.
Awesome, I’ll look forward to it!

JennytheFaun replied to the topic Short Story Contest in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 11 months ago
Not so long ago, the concept of centering a story around a theme wasn’t even on my radar, so needless to say I don’t have much experience there either. If you want, though, I’d be happy to read your story and give some feedback (especially if you’d be willing to give a second opinion on mine too 😉).
Yeah, “I need to…[Read more]

JennytheFaun replied to the topic READ THIS BOOK!!!!! in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 11 months ago
@evelyn Remember the “quote” at the beginning of chapter 5 of “The Places Beyond the Maps”? The “Bright Woe of Hadrell and Simi” bit? I wrote what I considered the backstory for it. If y’all want to read it I could start a thread for it, I don’t want to clog up this one 😉
I thought it was pretty awesome. I laughed the hardest at Sophelia Stupe…[Read more]

@evelyn Doing pretty well and still writing! I’m approaching the publication of my second book and I wrote a Wingfeather-inspired short story. Plus I’m working on an entry for the SE short story contest.
Have you Wingfeather fans all read Wingfeather Tales? I read a borrowed copy and now I just bought my own 😁👍😁👍

@r-m-archer I’ve always had a really tough time with short stories too. Working on one for this contest has been awfully fun though! Did you enter the contest last year?

JennytheFaun replied to the topic READ THIS BOOK!!!!! in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 11 months ago
@evelyn 😂 Fancy meeting you here!
Sorry I didn’t reintroduce myself earlier…
Anyhoo, nice to see you again, Flabbits!

So, I haven’t been on the main forum too much yet, but I thought it would be fun to have a thread for people who are entering the SE short story contest (or other Emberlings who are up for some reading and critiquing). Maybe we could bounce ideas off each other, beta read each other’s drafts, and help each other polish our entries? @anne-of-lothlor…[Read more]

@kayla-skywriter I found SE through the Wingfeather forum too!
That sounds like an awesome book, I’ll have to look into it.

JennytheFaun replied to the topic My Story Plotting!!! in the forum Knaphollow Writing Discussions 6 years, 11 months ago
@samantha-pen Maybe instead of writing in full-fledged scenes you could do several short “snapshots”? I have a terrible time keeping anything short, so maybe I’m not the one to give advice, but there’s my idea. XD
Anyway, let us know when you write it! Sounds like a good story!
