Honestly? I have no idea. I just like it as a name. Well, as a normal name anyway. XD

So we need to think about the time era and the size of the town. I’m guessing its pretty small. Are we thinking like a western town? What culture do these people come from… The villain could possibly come from somewhere outside the culture of this said town and the protagonist. Should the Villian be the same age, gender… etc
Is our town…[Read more]

Hi guys!
here’s your next topic to consider when writing in your chosen worlds. How do characters travel, What is the terrain like, and how far are they going?
this applies to real life settings or made up ones.
In the first draft of my dystopian set in Cody Wyoming, my characters walked or rode a horse everywhere, but they always arrived at t…[Read more]

I say do it. This is only our first war, so it’s ok if it’s not perfect. I know who the judge is. She’s lovely. It’s going to be fine.
I think we can definitely take this whole final conversation with the city burning and run with it. A few sentences with the right emotion are going to be enough to set the stage showing these two charact…[Read more]

So with what you all are saying the city burning in the end idea could still kind of fit!!! Like if the hero knows the villain is going to burn down the city and can’t stop him and in the end, the city burns down and everyone has to leave. So the last scene would kinda physically represent the burning of his old life and choosing something b…[Read more]

I also clap and cheer and whoop for @duskflower‘s third idea for the ending, and @duskflower‘s second idea for the story itself. Such as, what if the villain has kind of taken the protag under his wing and mentored him, intending to make the protag his successor? But when the villain starts asking the MC to do terrible things, the protagonist…[Read more]

Hey, everyone, shall we take a tally and begin writing?? I can’t wait to see what we come up with!!!
I thought another aspect that might help us narrow down the story would be to think about the character we want to write about and who they are.
Do you all have any new ideas or…[Read more]

Ok guys, this is fun!
@i-david, the Villain’s Birthday idea was HILARIOUS. But I think for the ending to be truly happy, there has to be some kind of hope.
@naomi-sowell Ditto!
@kb-writer I liked your outline, even if it would work better as a novel.
I really love what @samantha-pen said. I think it combines all the ideas we’ve had so far.…[Read more]

@naomi-sowell I think you definitely meant metaphor/analogy, not the other thing.
@samantha-pen Hope is good, but I just don’t feel like we can fit any of that into the word count we have.

What if the story was third person somehow and the town is destroyed but somehow the would be hero has a reason to think he has begun to get through to the villain and in the end the town burns down and its really sad but it is about somehow the way they changed the villain or maybe the vilian does have a major change of heart and nobody knows…[Read more]

Well. I think the only extra things are Star Wars Rebels and the Clone Wars episodes plus the Clone Wars movie. They’re all animated. But if you watch one of those watch Rebels. Cuz it has Thrawn. Thrawn is the BEST VILLAIN IN THE HISTORY OF ALL VILLAINS EVER CREATED IN ALL BOOKS/MOVIES EVER.
Although he’s better in the books that…[Read more]

My fave movie is Attack of the Clones and then Solo, Rogue One, and Return of the Jedi all tie for second.
I can’t wait either! (Especially seeing as the one next year will be about Boba Fett!! *excited squealing*)

hi guys! It’s time for our next round of world building. Weather.
weather is actually a very important part of world building. Weather can almost be like its own character. Think about it. No story of London ever made it to press without talk of the constant fog and drizzle. The Boston Jane series is constantly referring to the rain in S…[Read more]

Hello Knaplingers!
As of today, we are at war.
And by that I mean, today is our first change to participate in the guild wars. What’s a guildwar? It’s when a prompt is given, and each guild writes a story that is then judged, and one is declared the winner!
Heres how this works.
There is a two week time limit. And then the finished piece wil…[Read more]
