You’re welcome! What do you want me to take note of– character development, plotting, both?

I experimented with horror, and though I like the genre it’s hard (for me at least) to keep from putting unnecessary gore into my work. The plot of my horror story is fine, but while writing it I got caught up in the excitement and did a gore-overload. Does anyone else have a similar problem when writing horror?

I haven’t read the books, though I want to, but I have watched the first two Dreamworks movies. It’s neat that people can find similarities between my characters and other characters, but I didn’t consciously base the witch off of anyone.
Just a heads-up to anyone and everyone who reads the story, I’m very open to constructive…[Read more]

You can read it whenever you like– I am just making it available for you and anyone else who comes across this thread and becomes interested in beta-reading it.

Annie: *Overhears how Dharin’s name is spelled* Oh boy, there he goes.
Dagger: Ann-aye, why the blazes does everyone in your world have random letters thrown into their names? I swear, your lot are mad.
Annie: I don’t think Dharin’s from my world.
Dagger: You mean D-Harin. There is an ‘H’ in his name, and by deuce I am going…[Read more]

Alright, providing a link to an accessible document is not an option right now, as the fellow who would usually help me with figuring such tech-y stuff out is unavailable. So I’m going to do the old-fashioned copy and paste the text itself onto a post.

Thank you! Yes, I have seen the PotC. I loved the first and second movies, I think that the third could have been saved with some tweaks in the story plot, the fourth was a little jump-the-shark but still enjoyable, and the fifth was definitely jump-the-shark. I hope that they don’t make a sixth, because the first two (and three)…[Read more]

Me: …Dagger?
Dagger: On it, darling. *Plants himself by Kirat* Come come, laddie, you’re making the authors nervous, and we all know what happens when the bosses feel insecure.
Annie: *Sees Dharin (@anne_the_noob14) throw a smile and wink at Rhioe (@urwen-starial)* Great. Dagger, hide me.

It is also pretty low on my priority list as of now. I do have some fantasy short stories that could use a second pair of eyes, however.

Vivian Grant replied to the topic And so it begins! in the forum Introduce Yourself 6 years, 3 months ago
Unfortunately, I only have the story very roughly drafted out, and there are only some disconnected scenes from various points in the story that I typed out in order to remember.
Dagger: And how many hours a day again have I wasted trying to get her to write it out?
Me: Oi, you don’t get to comment here.
Dagger: Of course not.…[Read more]

That sounds cool! I’ve had a couple of werewolf-related story and character ideas, but not something like Sunwolves.
Annie lives in the normal world until she stumbles through a passage through to a new world, which I can only explain as a very much more serious and darker version of Wonderland. The first person she meets in that…[Read more]

Mind if I ask what kind of story Kirat and Rhioe are from?

Dagger: A pleasure to meet you as well, lad. *Watches Rhioe leave the room* Quite the aura I must have, eh?
Me: I gave you computer privileges, and I can take them away too…
Annie *Enters the room*: Well, I personally don’t blame her for leaving.
Annie is another one of my characters, from the same story as Dagger.
