Thank you so much for doing that! I really appreciate it! We need people like you 😉
Good to know.
It was totally an accident that he found her. In fact, as the novel progresses, you find out that there is a lot more to this prologue story that what I am actually telling. 🙂 There is a fine line with revealing too much and not…[Read more]

Thank you so much guys for giving me feedback!
some stylistic issues kept taking me out of the story
Do you mind if I ask exactly what issues drew you out of the story? Since this will be the first thing the readers will read, I want to make sure I keep them in the story. Colton actually finds Brianna on the ground. So they…[Read more]

Don’t let it be said that we were the aggressors here; Rillumen is the last guild to enter the conflict. However, our honor must be upheld. To war we go.
Yesterday, our rival guilds New Wessex and Avensbeck began a war which we must now join. The first battle is to be fought this week, through long nights and crammed lunch breaks. Want to hel…[Read more]

@missfaeriekaiti I really like how you set the cozy feeling of the cafe. And mentioning the abandoned cups and plates added a really empty feel to it, as did the clatter of dishes out of sight. I really like how you used all of those elements together to help me see the scene.

@missfaeriekaiti Yep, I’m the Taylor that commented. 🙂
I was thinking a nickname of sort could just be Sars. Maybe it could slip out of a characters mouth during a moment because that’s what they always call him in their head.

@missfaeriekaiti Thank you for letting us read this excerpt of your story.
In terms of pacing, I think it moved along at a decent pace. It was a bit boring at times, but I liked how you didn’t just have them talking. You had them moving and doing things. I believe that helped the scene a great deal.
What if you were to give Sarsalor a nickname?…[Read more]

Skredder replied to the topic Cook and the Darger in the forum Critiques 8 years, 1 month ago
@missfaeriekaiti Thank you for reading! The wings are bird wings with feathers. And you’re right about the capitalization of the name. That was just a grammar error I made.
I can change that line. I see what you mean about it.
@brandon-miller Essentially your understanding of what the darger looks like is correct. My original thought was a…[Read more]

Hey everybody!
So, I think that this annual theme thing is going to be one of my favorite parts of the guilds. I can’t wait to get started…but then again, I DON’T HAVE TO!
The wait is over.
Our theme for 2018 is Description and Setting. I’m kind of generally planning on starting with basic description techniques, moving into active de…[Read more]

Grace T. replied to the topic Welcome to Rillumen! in the forum Announcements 8 years, 1 month ago
@missfaeriekaiti Yes, I do have to be careful when I recommend his stuff. Even his fantasy has some objectionable elements (I haven’t read much of his non-high-ish fantasy at all). Rithmatist is the one I can usually recommend without any caveats, and Elantris is nearly as clean (if you don’t count one paragraph describing an underground cult’s…[Read more]

Brandon Miller replied to the topic Questions about the Guilds in the forum Announcements 8 years, 1 month ago
Oh wow cool, there’s a question if I’d ever seen one. Thanks for asking, @missfaeriekaiti
The answer is YES.
First off, I wanted writers who I thought were taking writing seriously. Even if they don’t want it to be a profession or anything, they wanted to do it well and were willing to put the effort into it.
Second, I wanted people who w…[Read more]

@missfaeriekaiti @pookiemonster Sorry, you do not need to fill out the form again! I just retagged you to let you know the guilds were opening Wednesday. 🙂
@dekreel Well, you do need to be somewhat active. As long as you participate in the guilds a couple times a month, that would be sufficient.

@missfaeriekaiti What if you have your best friend says something so insensitive, even if (or especially if) it’s honest, that it causes a rift between her and the MC? Maybe the reason she’s feeling two-dimensional is because your MC wants to have her as a friend, but there’s no “in spite of” factoring into the choice. I think in real life, we…[Read more]
