Hi everyone!
I was just wondering if any of you have written fanfiction. I’m considering starting to do this. If you’ve written any, I would be interested in reading it.
Thanks!

Michaela commented on the post, Should You Share the Gospel in Your Novel? 2 years ago
This article is very well-thought out and brings up some interesting questions. Thank you for writing it! This may have been mentioned already, but I think the Chronicles of Narnia is a fantastic example of an artistic story that illustrates the gospel through allegory.

I was just doing that yesterday! It’s so fun. I was trying to figure out different ways to describe the wind.

Michaela started the topic Why do fantasy and medieval settings coincide? in the forum Research and Worldbuilding 2 years, 1 month ago
Hi everyone!
I’ve been wondering for a while…why do almost all fantasy stories/books have some sort of middle ages setting? I get that the medieval times are often associated with magic, but personally, I prefer to write low fantasy (or maybe it almost crosses the line into sci-fi). I’m just curious as to what you think: is the medieval fantasy…[Read more]

Anything concerning the overarching plot, theme and/or aesthetic of the story. Maybe even something the character likes & what they learn from it (if that makes sense).

Michaela replied to the topic What do unemotional character's feel? in the forum Characters 2 years, 3 months ago
Thank you for tagging me in this 🙂 Here are some ideas (some of these may have already been mentioned):
- These characters often show, rather than tell, how much they care. They could sacrifice themselves. Have them secretly perform an act of kindness or faithfully watch out for someone without saying a word.
- Microexpressions.…

@naiya-dyani “Original Characters or OCs are the characters in a fanwork that are not in the source media, but have been created by the fanwork’s author.” https://fanlore.org/wiki/Original_Character
I just Googled it; I didn’t know it had to do with fanfiction.

Here are some ideas (don’t expect much, XD):
When I look in their eyes/The Plea In Their Eyes
<i>Faces That Changed Me</i>
Hunting Injustice
Facets of Mercy (the looks that they give him show different aspects/facets of morality)
The Lengths We Go (double meaning: the lengths the tribe goes to achieve their goal and the l…[Read more]

Michaela replied to the topic Let's talk about representation! in the forum Characters 2 years, 3 months ago
YES, I agree about the friends-of-different-races-just-because-they’re-friends trope. I don’t think the color of someone’s skin should be a big deal (I’m biracial, by the way). Great ideas! I often forget to incorporate minority races/ethnicities in my stories (the protagonist is frequently – if not always – a white female, and I…[Read more]

Michaela replied to the topic Theme/Question in the forum Themes 2 years, 3 months ago
I’ll take a stab at it. The ability to be creative & express ourselves through the arts (music, painting, writing, poetry, etc.), the ability to philosophize and ask/wonder about these sorts of questions 🙂 and the ability to problem-solve/reason. The fact that we all need a Savior. Our morality or lack thereof. In general, the fact that we are…[Read more]

Hi everyone!
I also posted this in the “Themes” category, but I felt like it could kind of go in either category. I hope it was okay to put it in both.
I just wanted to get your thoughts on what populations you would like to see better represented in fiction (maybe they are either 1. represented poorly/inaccurately or 2. They are never/rarely…[Read more]

Hi Naiya! Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. That’s a neat idea! Would you mind giving a little more detail into the story? Are there any analogies or aesthetics that you incorporate? They might provide some title-inspiration.

I just wanted to get your thoughts on what populations you would like to see better represented in fiction (maybe they are either 1. represented poorly/inaccurately or 2. They are never/rarely represented at all). I wanted to do a poll/vote on what types of characters writers should incorporate more, for example, here are my…[Read more]

@deeprun Do you mean a steampunk book title generator? I haven’t seen one, but that would be neat.

@morreafirebird At the bottom it says to format it like this: “The (your birth month) of (first letter of your first name) and (first letter of your last name).”
