A lot of the subversions any of us could think up have already been done, so I’d encourage you to think about execution over innovation (like, don’t just do something because it’s unique!).

This isn’t a terribly original one, but one which impacted me a lot: In Dark…[Read more]

Hello! Nice to meet you, I don’t think I’ve seen you before. (Though I have been rather busy lately, so I could have just missed you XD)

Have you ever read Howl’s Moving Castle? That’s not exactly a chosen one trope, but the main character is a teen girl who gets turned into an old lady, and it is one of the best books I’ve ever…[Read more]

I’d love to see it thrive, but a community needs people.

Heads up! Unfortunately, I’ll have to remove some people if they don’t make an appearance. I also plan to add some new people soon.

YES, Scotland!! XD  Seems pretty popular for most of you.  Oh, and, yes, how could I forget New Zealand?!! Middle-earth, yes please! 😀  And it would also be nice to go to the Caribbean too, I think.

Yes they are on a quest of sorts. Her brother along with the other characters in the group are trying to accomplish something that could be boiled down to defeating their world’s source of evil.

I like the idea that she’s there partly because her brother.. Though I’d like to give her a little more agency then that if I can figure her…[Read more]

First, a few questions: are your characters on some sort of quest? What is the group trying to accomplish (or are they just friends)? Is her brother in this group?

Anyway, here are some thoughts without those answers: If her brother is in the group, perhaps he brought her along (to take care of…[Read more]

I agree with Daeus! It would be quite funny if the old person was the chosen one and the mentor was a young person trying to explain things!

I’ve heard the idea that the Chosen One actually joins the villain (cue Star Wars prequels).

Or the Chosen One leaves the group that recruited him or her creating a f…[Read more]

So, all three of y’all are sisters, huh? @itisastarrynight @the-fledgling-artist Are you all artists?

Turtle is 21, Fledge is 18 (I had no idea!!! We’re actually closer in age than I initially thought! :D), so how old is Ara?

Wow, that is awesome! I have not been writing that long, just for 5 years or so, since I was 12 or 13. That is really neat!

(And a great, lengthy answer!) Have you ever taken the 16 Personalities, Meyers/Briggs personality test?!?!

Sounds like we have opposite problems… I have like 24 WIP`s and am learning to try and focus on one or two at a time! 😛
