Ok, here are my thoughts, since weāre not really getting a ton of feedback from the other
You both wrote equally wonderful, yet totally different stories. There are so many things I love about each of them and I think either one is a worthy entry.@jennythefaun, do you WANT to enter your story? I donāt want you to feel pressured, so if you…[Read more]

So far, I’m seeing 1 for me by @McKinley (I’ll bet by tiny margins) any others?

Katherine Baker replied to the topic Mystery Prompt War in the forum Announcements 7 years ago
I should rephrase that. I know you wanted to make some edits, and didn’t know if you had done what you wanted to do, or felt you needed to get it done (since yours is pretty good as is).
If no one is able to make up their mind on which story, pick jennythefaun’s. I’ve already had my turn. š

Mine is ready if Jenny can’t get hers in on time. Jenny, are you ready?
@everyone
Do you guys have a favorite?

That was amazing!!! Well done. You have beautiful prose and foreshadowing. And you used my disappearing woman! š
The only thing I would do is give Noss a little more initiative. For the most part, I felt like he was merely watching and commenting on the events, instead of actively trying to find the truth out.
The easiest fix is…[Read more]

@jennythefaun
I…I love that.
Iāve got a soft spot for Victorian London, so that grabbed me right away.
The details, the word building, the prose…very good. Excellent.
Iām reading this on my phone, so Iām not sure how over the word count we are, but I think there are little things that could be trimmed rather than big chunks. I think cutti…[Read more] -

Sorry guys! I forgot to post last weeks discussion.

Totally go ahead and wait. I’ll post it soon, but I just figured out I need to cut a ton of words.
That sounds like such a cool idea! I can’t wait to read yours!!!

What’s spec-fic? I’m not as familiar with writing terms as I ought to be. Regardless, I love your idea and can’t wait to see you run with it!

Katherine Baker replied to the topic Mystery Prompt War in the forum Announcements 7 years, 1 month ago
All this is excellent! I’m actually almost done with the first draft. Jenny, do you want me to post it now, or wait until your idea is further along so it doesn’t affect your thoughts?
Also, as a fair warning I’ve been shivering through writing this. It may be too dark to use, but it’s hard to tell from the writer’s…[Read more]

I honestly love these ideas!!! Jenny, don’t feel bad about taking the story if you want too. We could also both write it out and deside which one’s better afterwards. Up to you.
In terms of suspects, we need to have 3 suspects:
- The “obvious suspect” that both the detective and the sidekick soon veer away from.

Hey guys! Itās time for another round of print wars! This time the prompt is to write a mystery.
Sounds pretty cool! I was an avid Nancy Drew reader as a kid, but Iāve never actually written a mystery.

@jennythefaun *nods* That’s very easy. I don’t remember how to do it, but I do remember it was pretty easy. I think the most difficult part would probably be finding where to switch it, but I don’t remember if that was difficult or not. (I should just go look it up and refresh my memory. XD)
EDIT: I’ve returned from looking it up. There’s a…[Read more]

As youāve probably noticed, activity has been pretty low here. Itās the same with the other guilds.
Thatās fine if everyoneās busy, but if itās just because the guilds werenāt attractive enoughā¦
Well, we should do something about that then.
