Ooh, so maybe greatest fears are up next?
I know you two wanted to do the fashion show, right? Though I think Grace’s account wasn’t working.

Rhianna
The stairway felt interminably long, but Rhianna was determined not to stop. Being a Loki meant that she did not tire quickly. Still, her legs had begun to ache by the time she reached a landing and a door. Heart pounding with anticipation, Rhianna flung open the door and found herself blinking in bright sunlight. As her vision adjusted,…[Read more]

Hi! I’m Lydia, I’m currently seventeen. Do you have a current project? At the moment, I’m torn between a couple things; a sci-fi and a fantasy, both somewhere in the YA/children’s area. What’s your favorite part about writing? For me, I really love my characters. It’s so much fun playing around with them, watching how they interact, and…[Read more]

Abrielle started the topic Short story in the forum Fantasy Writers 2 years, 9 months ago
Hi guys! I recently finished a short story (though it is technically a little long for a ‘short story’). I was wondering, would anybody be willing to give me feedback on it? If your willing to read it but don’t have time for in-depth criticism, my big question is, is it worth turning into a full length novel?
Well, here goes.

Also, sorry. I noticed we had a theme going for the fashion show and I totally ruined it. Apologies.

No problem! I just got back from a summer camp, so I’ve not had a whole lot of time either. What all are you up to this summer?
Also, Rhianna’s speech was great. It was spot on.
Mara seems like fun. She and Rhianna should get along great (rather, they won’t, but it’ll be great anyways🙃).

Wild Mustang
A grazing stallion.
A breeze comes sweeping down from the mountain,
Wading through the grass.
“Be free! Beyond there are grasses and brooks.
Be free!
Let your hooves pound in the open meadows and let your shadow mingle with that of the tree,
Beyond there is freedom. Be free…”
It whispers over and over in his ears.

I use Startpage.com for research just because it’s private.
One note: when working with fantasy or sci-fi you can speed up the healing process via herbs like athelas in Lord of the Rings or via tech. You also have liberty to make up diceases like the Black Breath also from Lord of the Rings (though it’s more of an effect like stress which has…[Read more]

I haven’t done this sort of thing myself, but I know @calidris has done some stuff with a twenties style setting. Calidris, what sort of resources have you used?

Where are all these new people coming from? This place is so confusing. I’m honestly glad Frey got pulled away because he made that even worse.
Then one of the new ones starts shouting about revolution, and I can’t help but giggle at her. Apparently the Nightingales are…[Read more]

Hi Rae! Igua sounds like an interesting character. Random thing, but I’m very curious about the aversion to butterknives. Has he got some kind of tragic history involving them?
Also, about him and Skullcrusher, could you throw them into a bit of trouble together? Make them learn each other’s languages under stress and by necessity, if that makes…[Read more]-
Igua does have a tragic past as Nahim does, his father was a Cloak but his mother grew up and raised him in a little town where he got his strange accent and his awful habit of slang. When they get into full swing it’s called another language but hey! It’s faster to say stuff. His mother supported her husband but never became a Cloak. When his f…[Read more]

Rants are welcome! Hey, your plot sounds good! I have a habit of coming up with a million characters, half a dozen story lines, and then trying to smoosh it all together. You can probably guess that it doesn’t work great. For example, my novel work in progress (though I have a short story I have to finish first):
A. Rhianna, the Loki, is an…[Read more]-
That is comforting that rants are welcome because (beware) Ru Eis has a lot of rants she can cast forth.
Your story sounds intriguing. I’m curious who these people are and their backstories.
I’m a fan of backstories and that is where my plots often come from. For Guardian Angels, when I figured out the fact that his family was dead and how it…[Read more] -
Ru from the now present just poking something in. A common sample of Igua’s slang is, “The effe (ef-ee) woul’e dest.” Translation: “The effect would be devastating.” Now you can see why his Cloak Circle BEGGED him to learn how to speak normally!

HA thank you for mentioning backstories, I just realized that literally only two of those characters have them. This is still a relatively new story. Also, I made a conscious effort not to make sad characters, who are the ones that really need those. Something to work on!

I have two brothers and no sisters, none of whom write. I have no idea where I got this love for writing since no one that I know of in my family does. I have to write things by hand first either on paper or on my digital notebook from the company Mobiscribe, I just have to write it in good ol’ cursive too since my print has some of the worst…[Read more]

They’re great Inkhorn! I like. However, Rhianna would be lying through her teeth about it being the best dream ever. She’s not been in it long enough for it to take that prize. You probably noticed that she isn’t averse to telling whopping fibs though, so it’s completely in character.

Cahira is my main character while Conroy is a side character. Conroy’s backstory had been pretty underdeveloped for a while, but once I started diving in, it got heavier (more than I intended). 😅

The dramatic entrance of the young woman diverted Cahira’s attention, which was soon captured by the woman’s declaration of freedom.…[Read more]
