No problem! Sci-fi is cool as well, especially with all the cool tech you can put in it. *grin* I love cool tech. I loooove creating new cultures and world-building though, so fantasy will forever remain my favorite genre. XD
Haha yeah, the one Eragon film is….. bad enough. I did enjoy the decent CGI and the feathers on…[Read more]

J.A.Penrose started the topic Lesson 27 : Raving About Pacing in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 10 months ago
Hopefully by now, (sorry newbies) you have got a fair grip on Pacing and Suspense.
Today, you have a super easy task. Name one text, (try to use one that you haven’t before in these lessons) and show how it used pacing and suspense well. Try to be spoiler sensitive!
To help clarify, a text can be a book, poem, movie, song, play, video game,…[Read more]

Okay, everyone, how about this? The first few paragraphs are coming together!
(And @silverclaw-bonnetfolly , I may be able to incorporate some of your ideas! WHEEE! 😊😊😊)

@pursuewisdom Yup, I was thinking something along those lines, but whoever writes the first draft can do whatever they think works out well.
I think we need to get a first draft done soon though. @ariella-newheart and @esjohnson, are you still interested in doing it? Does one of you want to just go ahead and do it now so we have something to work…[Read more]

Hello, and welcome! Nice to meet you. I’ll be sure you tag you when I do questions or discussions and such so you can read them if you’d like. 😉
High fantasy is sooo fascinating, isn’t it? I love all the potential it has for such amazing world-building and character development. Not that other genres don’t, I just particularly…[Read more]

@ariella-newheart @pursuewisdom @esjohnson @silverclaw-bonnetfolly @e-jo3 @everyone
All right guys! Can you all share your ideas for specifics here? We can take a vote on which ones to use tomorrow, and then one of you can volunteer to write it and post it by Tuesday morning. That ought to give us at least 5 days to revise and polish. Don’t…[Read more]

Princess Foo replied to the topic Infinity War [SPOILER PRONE] in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 10 months ago
@pursuewisdom You definitely need to watch several of the movies before Infinity War. The movie won’t really make sense otherwise. How many though, depends on how familiar you are with the characters. You can watch Captain America 2 without watching the first if you already know Steve’s backstory. I’m kinda assuming the question is “What is the…[Read more]

@princess-foo, @i-david, @scarletimmortalized, @pursuewisdom.
I totally forgot about this thread. I had to watch the trailer THREE times just to understand that the trailer had come out!! I was really happy with my prediction about the title. I took what Strange said in the last movie about them being in the end game and figured that to be the ti…[Read more]

Hi @pursuewisdom,
That is a very fine moniker you’ve chosen.  Often times the practice is confused with fact gathering which is not the same.
One should never stop learning.

@esjohnson @steward-of-the-pen @pursuewisdom I’d be happy to help with the first draft, but my schedule is crazy so I don’t know when exactly I’ll be online. Someone please tag me when we’re planning to write it and if I see in time I’ll get on the doc to add my thoughts. 🙂
We might as well start discussing the precise details of the dream n…[Read more]

Okay guys, we’re now five days into this war and we need to make some decisions to move forward! *hands out lembas*
There have been lots of enthusiastic ideas thrown around and different opinions about what this should entail. It seems like the majority of those who have voiced their opinion want to go with a dream rather than a vision, and @ariel…[Read more]

The downside to traveling is I enter the guild war late in the game.
Anyways, guys, I am seeing some STELLAR ideas here!! And now, for MY ideas.
The past three nights, I have dreamed of three things: the first night, somebody said to me “…if you are the New Mercy…”. The second, I was crushing…[Read more]

@pursuewisdom @ariella-newheart we should definitely combine the two! Ariella and I can work on the main draft with @pursuewisdom if we do… 😉

Ariella Newheart replied to the topic Guild War…6? in the forum Announcements 7 years, 10 months ago
@steward-of-the-pen I like that idea, Darth Pen!
With the other parts that reflect his fears, we could use symbolism and foils to show what would happen for either choice. It could end with him waking up and making a decision about the choice.
So it’d be kind of a cross between a vision and a replay of the past, and it would have plenty of o…

@e-jo3 Sweet! Can you give a basic rundown of the concepts in Inception?
@julia Yes! That is so cool. I love all of K.M.Weiland’s things. So much. When I’m in doubt, that tends to be where I go. *nods* I approve.
@steward-of-the-pen Some great starting ideas! (And Daeus is judging this one.)

Steward of the Pen replied to the topic Guild War…6? in the forum Announcements 7 years, 10 months ago
@calebonline Ooh, cool, I like the idea of having the mystery about what caused the dream! To clarify, when I said the dream should be realistic, I meant we should make the dream seem like a real dream, rather than like events in real life (which would not be a realistic dream). I think it’s important to make it feel like a real dream because,…[Read more]

Ariella Newheart replied to the topic Guild War…6? in the forum Announcements 7 years, 10 months ago
@steward-of-the-pen Wow, nice. I agree on all of that. *two thumbs up* I hardly ever remember my dreams. One I do remember is a nightmare where I was wandering through a dark mansion which had cages of scary creatures on either side of the path. I kept climbing higher and higher through the mansion, and once I made it to the top floor. (I had that…[Read more]
