(finally got around to writing down some thoughts :). Tolkien’s use of mystery to keep readers reading stood out to me the most. 🙂 With omni POV he has the option of revealing a lot of information to readers, but he’s selective.  He keeps the dwarfs a mystery for a pretty long time, keeping us in the dark just like Bilbo (unless you’ve read the b…[Read more]

@martina Bravo! Good luck with your goals for this week 🙂

Okay guys, I’ve handed it in now. So thus begins the wait to hear how it went. Good job everyone, I loved the effort some of you…[Read more]

Names for the story anyone?

@martina Looks like it’s Sam’s then!

@toklaham-veruzia @overcomer @martina @epicaddie2 @supermonkey42 @gabrielle @snapper @naomijackson @dekreel @bonnie @melissa-g @kiraelizabeth @aislinn-mollisong @dragongeek @haviloki @sleepwalkingmk @natalie-marie @jenwriter17 @sam-kowal

Allllllright. Time for us to choose between the two. We don’t have long until they’re due, but we need to…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 To be totally honest, I have no clue. So far, the vote is with @sam-kowal but who knows?

GUILD. Please all look at the doc and choose. While you’re there, it would be amazing if each of you could leave one suggestion on each story that’s sitting there. Thanks guys! Also, remember that I promised to look after you guys, and I really…[Read more]

@j-a-penrose @martina @supermonkey42 @all the guild peoples

Sooooo…what’s the plan right now? Are we going with Sam’s story? I just need to know so that I can figure out if I’m needing to keep working on my story or make suggestions on @sam-kowal ‘s.

@kiraelizabeth @naomijackson @overcomer @dragongeek @martina @supermonkey42 @toklaham-veruzia @haviloki

Just a reminder that our first discussion starts tomorrow. If you haven’t read the first three chapters of the Hobbit, now might be a good time to do so. 🙂

@jenwriter17 Indeed it would. *quickly fixes that up*

Also, can everyone pleeeeeease be sure to swap over to suggestion mode when editing. I’ve made you all direct editors so that @sam-kowal can get that idea sorted.

*casually drops in the working tags for you* Mostly they only actually will tag if you type them out individually… so that’s a bit of a fault in the system. @jenwriter17

Alright y’all I reworked my story a little bit. I’d love to hear what suggestions you all have! 🙂

@j-a-penrose Ah, yes, I see how I didn’t make it so much about the death. I’ll rework it a bit and let you know when it’s ready…

@martina Thanks! I like yours too, though second-person is not my favorite. But that’s just my personal preference. 🙂

@jenwriter17 @martina Woot! The doc looks less blank! *cheers*

Okay, I do have a quick suggestion that sort of fits for both of you. They’re both cool, but I’m not certain how well they fit the task. The first was great, but it seemed more like she was distressed over her inability to take revenge rather than the actual death of her brother,…[Read more]

Okay guys! I’m going to be ducking in fairly regularly for a while to make sure you get some things started! *cheers* I’ve quickly whipped up a doc for you to work on, but for now I think ideas are needed. After all, we want to make sure your guild does awesomely, even though your actual Guildmaster isn’t here. I mean, if you don’t do awesomely it…[Read more]
