    New member, book almost in the can.

    Yeah Angelology didn't really jump out at me as a 'must read' but I can see how the concept of Neplillum could make for great reading. My suggestion would be to think really hard about your story and how well it will draw your readers in. From what I have seen Angelology has built a fan base...

    New member, book almost in the can.

    There is a lot of different theories about Nephillum... So depends on what direction you go really. Do you mean Angelology by Trussoni? If so, are you worried about the backlash from the 'experts' of fans? Or other 'fanatics'? :wink: Nephillum are said to be fallen angels, demon hunting...

    How long is too long for a prologue?

    What's not to debate? :frown2::frown2: Actually my debate is totally self inflicted by myself. I have a prologue which is pretty vital to my story and characters which I was quite happy with... Now I am second guessing myself as to whether I could include the same information and feeling by...

    How long is too long for a prologue?

    Wow, 60 pages is way too long. Given that prologues in general are a bit of a button issue these days anything more than 15 - 20 pages would be pushing it. And that is assuming that the prologue is 1. Essential and relevant to the introduction of the story and 2. Is interesting enough to hold...

    Good and Evil.

    Have to admit I had a bit of a giggle while reading the blog. Seriously? Blaming entertainment media's 'forced' use of good & evil for society's issues? haha. People's attitudes, fear, trust etc of others is formed by experience, actions and life... I can't see anyone reading LOTR or...

    Forcing characters to make unwise choices

    Hey, Sorry but I kinda agree. i had to read back through the thread a few times to (i think) make sense of it all, but I for sure think that you need some more conflict and action here. Not essentially pure-evil and explosions if you don't want, but maybe a bit more? For example: Sure Cadell...

    Supernatural feudality in a modern word?

    Before you can really answer this you would need to know what kind of supernatural power / being she/they is/are. If they are not really 'ruling' a lot of territory because they are secret then why are different faction fighting? and why is anyone following at all? Look at the difference...

    Thought it was time to say 'Hello'

    Surprisingly, no not really :oops: I haven't really paid much attention to who said what, just what was said - if that makes sense. I will be looking closer from now on though ;)

    Thought it was time to say 'Hello'

    Hi everyone. I have been a regular 'stalker' of this forum for a long time now (probably years) and finally figured it was time to sign up and say hello. I have been workng on my fantasy novel for a few years now (on and off). Gradually, I have finally brought my ideas and outlines together...

    Need some serious help.

    I think you should watch this show Dead Like Me http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0348913/?mode=desktop It is about a group of 'deaths' who are stuck in limbo as grim reapers after violent deaths... There was only two seasons made and by the end they all were a insane. The main character though is...
