Daeus Lamb started the topic Taboos in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 4 months ago
I’ve been thinking recently about something that’s never caught my attention before. Taboos. If I could only ask one question about a culture to learn about it, I’m tempted to think I’d ask about its taboos.
Taboos could keep a whole nation in slavery (for instance, if they think it brings bad luck to question their priests).
Or taboos can…[Read more]

@eden-anderson Thank you! I agree with Noah not agreeing with you about you not being helpful (aka you were helpful)… haha 🙂
@noahlitle *nods* Okay. I don’t think I would be happy doing consistent flashbacks, but I’ll try to do it enough so that the audience can see the parallels between that conversation and this one. I’ll do it with italics…[Read more]

Sorry for being off for so long. Yesterday, I couldn’t access the forum thread (or any forum thread) but it seems to be back on today. I went ahead and did some prewriting, though.
So what I have right now is a story about a figure skater, who’s story has been about switching coaches and working his way through all the new struggles to finally l…[Read more]

@noahlitle Okay, I’m glad I understood the concept. I see what you mean, that it would be comparing two events, in the past and the present. My concern about being complicated mostly has to do with how we choose to format this, because I don’t want to confuse the reader with alternating clips in the present and then snippets of flashback. The idea…[Read more]

@literatureforthelight Thanks for the explanation. It was incredibly helpful in understanding what Noah was trying to describe. 😀
Uh…I guess I was just thinking about it too hard. 😉 Okay, yeah that makes more sense. I think the superhero story/thing would be complicated to write, but if someone could write it and write it well then…[Read more]

Sounds good to me. 👍
I think I would lean towards the hero one, but just because there’s generally more action, but, *shrugs*, I don’t mind either way.

@daeus-lamb @literatureforthelight @noahlitle
Hmm, yeah. I mean, I like the idea but I feel like it would be complicated… I’m not used to writing that genre either but I’m willing to try.

@noahlitle I like your idea, but I’m not sure it would classify as a happy ending. I think a happy ending (whether or not there’s sadness mixed with it) should first be heart-warming.
@literatureforthelight Perhaps the plot could be based around a misunderstanding. Like, the protagonist thinks that nobody cares about him or they’re trying to hurt…[Read more]

@noahlitle What I think your idea is is that we have your MC. In the past, he was the villain, and he was fighting a hero and lost because of his weakness of trying to be the best. Now, he’s the hero, fighting a villain and is going to win because of his ability to conquer that weakness. The story would be cutting back and forth between the past…[Read more]

Just to be clear, the MC is the hero in the present, but in the past, he was a villain? Or vice versa?

Hi. *waves* I’m here. 😛 But my brain is currently fried and I cannot come up with any ideas of what we should do…and to be perfectly honest, I’m not quite following your idea. 🤦♀️

@noahlitle I read the Sabrina one. Your read my writing page looks great. Only thing is you can cut this.
Since that’s what you’re here for, I’ll keep it short.

@noahlitle I’m thinking about going, but the cost is pretty high. I still have to calculate what else I want to invest in this year and such, so it’s very up in the air at the moment.

@noahlitle You are an absolute madman, going for six nights =P Two conference nights are enough to destroy me for weeks. Aside from that, while the conference looks super cool and I’d love to go, it’s either an eighteen hour drive or a $400 round trip plane ticket so I’m afraid I’ll have to pass. I hope you can find someone to go, though.<span i…[Read more]

I would say that it’s not so important that the idea be unexpected than the story/characters be meaningful. When the reader is touched by the story being deep and original, that’s also another thing that makes stories non-cliche.
*thumbs up*
@noahlitle I like that idea.

Hey @Noahlitle, I’m gonna be a RM (I hope maybe/probably) but I my mom is tagging along for the drive and so I’m bunking with her. Hopefully we can meet up though! I’d love to meet another Emberling!
