@jenwriter17 Thank you! 😀

@anne_the_noob14 Yeah, your story does sound really cool! 😀

@anne_the_noob14 – Yay, I’m glad that was helpful! Let me know if you need anything else. 😉

@elisha-starquill M’kay, so I’m reading over your comments now…

I agree that it’d be interesting in 1st person 😀 And I’m still giving serious thought to trying it… So we’ll see XD

Ah yes… I wasn’t sure quite how to refer to them, so I used those terms to make it easier for myself to know what I was talking about lol. So you’re saying have…[Read more]

@elisha-starquill

Ah! Look at the marvelously long comments!! Which I mean in a very non-sarcastic way! I just skimmed over them now, and I’ll have to take time tomorrow to actually read through and think about them fully, but I saw several things that looked very helpful. 😀

@anne_the_noob14 – Mm, not that I have anything against 3rd person (and actually I’m extremely biased towards 1st person, so take this statement with a grain of salt xD) but I think this story would be interesting in 1st person. It might be harder to write and get in the zone of, but it’d be super cool to see what the thoughts of a non-emotional…[Read more]

@elisha-starquill Why thank you!! 😀 I’ll have to tag you when I have it written and I post a snippet or two 😉

*nods* Right. Got it. So this is where that little blurb on the inside of the jacket or on the back of the cover comes in handy 😀

That’s a good question… And I think it’s gonna be in 3rd person, because I don’t know if I can get…[Read more]

@anne_the_noob14 – WOW what a super cool premise! 😀 Seriously, I want to read that story NOW.

*ahem* My first instinct, like what @jenwriter17 said, is that the reader doesn’t need to know all that information up front. In fact I think it’s better that they don’t, a better hook, because it’s mysterious when the MC talks/thinks/references things…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 *nods* Let me give you a summary of the plot real quick…

MC lives in a country where every child, at birth, has some sensors and a receptor surgically implanted in his brain and shoulder, respectively. The point of this is to sense when the person is feeling a heightened level of emotion (very sad, very happy, etc.), and give the…[Read more]

@anne_the_noob14 Well, somebody else correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think it’s absolutely necessary to have the reader know absolutely everything before the story actually starts. I would suggest just trying to weave it into the story, describing different things of the world as the characters interact with them.

@katthewriter @everyoneelse

M’kay, so this is a WIP that isn’t even on paper/computer yet except for the basic outline, but it’s sci-fi, SO!

Title: Don’t have one yet lol. There’s lots of things it could be, so I’ll have to decide later on after I get the plot more developed.

Premise: Um, basically, people have been Pavloved to not feel emotion…[Read more]
