Princess Foo

@catwing, @princess-foo, @morreafirebird, @devastate-lasting.

I think you guys made a lot of good points. If it has to be anonymous, then using the same characters wouldn’t work. But I had the exact same idea that Audrey said. We could just change the names. Since before they were on a chat and probably didn’t use their actual names. Maybe. Of…[Read more]

I do really like the idea of the painting being stolen, though we wouldn’t have to explicitly say that they’re beginner villains or anything. Maybe it’s just a group of average people trying to act as supervillains (which could be…[Read more]

@princess-foo I don’t know. Maybe. I really don’t want another great story disqualified by a technicality.
We could still do the talking painting. (Though orignally when I read the prompt I thought about the person. Alternate fantasy world probably, but something about the girl and the painting… Maybe she could be a super hero or something… XD…[Read more]

I skimmed over the doc and as much as I love the idea of using the villains again, BUT I think it would let the judge know who wrote that entry and may disqualify us. And I REALLY don’t want us to get disqualified on something…[Read more]

I HAVE RESULTS.

Rillumen won with 39,175 words.

They practically hit the nanowrimo goal XD BUT we were only 3k behind them. The guildmasters realized that all the words written throughout the guilds last week nearly equaled the word count of the Count of Monte Cristo. *pumps fist* 😉

GREAT JOB to everyone who was able to write this…[Read more]

AWAKEN, WORLDBUILDING THREAD!

*clears throat* Anyway…I have some very exciting news:

WE’RE GETTING A HOMEPAGE FOR OUR GUILD.

I don’t have an exact date yet, but it will be happening SOON. *throws confetti*

So we need some information to put on that page. We already have our document going with some things we’ve decided on, but we can add…[Read more]

@princess-foo ah, I love the ideas you guys have going in there 😉

Hm, yeah, you’d probably have to change it a bit to keep it anonymous. Maybe the characters are the same, but the names are different, and it’s not in chat format. So maybe keep the concept but change up the names and have it written in prose, and it could work. I love the idea though!

@emgc @sarah-inkdragon @ajaj2000 great job! 😀

How did your goals go for this week? And just as a reminder, the word war ends tomorrow night (Sunday at 11:59) 🙂

@princess-foo sorry, no. It would though if it’s a scene you’re writing to play around with charaterization but don’t plan to have it the actual first draft. 🙂

@emgc yes!

@warrenluther04 Nice goals! you’re one step ahead of me today 😉

Also, I just want to mention that while the…[Read more]

@wordsmith @princess-foo

Actually, limited third person POV is always just that…limited. Everything in limited third person is told through the eyes of only one particular character. Showing anything else would involve changing the POV to omniscient third person, with an outside narrator who knows and sees everything.

A couple of other things…[Read more]

@princess-foo

That’s a tough call…

I would say in deep third you can step outside side of the character POV… to tell a story or give background, maybe even switch POV briefly, but you you are right that staying close to MC is important. I think if you are unsure of anything, look in Ender’s Game and see if Card does it. Because I think even…[Read more]

@princess-foo

Yes, in first person you are limited to the MC’s perspective. The reader won’t see, hear, smell, taste, or feel, anything the MC’s doesn’t. The MC’s is the translator of everything going on.

In third person, your narrator can see things that MC can’t. He can hear, smell, taste, and feel things the MC can’t. He can show the reader…[Read more]
