I read on a similar thread that you could have a dragon collide with a hard object IE: Mountain, Castle Walls, etc. I'm sure a dragon would have quite a thick skull, having it strike something equally tough (especially at a high speed) could potentially be fatal. This actually made me wonder...

I love courier, I have a thing for typewriters. It seems a bit different than normal courier though, and I'm pretty sure you can change the font (along with the color of the background and turning off the typewriter sounds).

I have Ywriter and a demo version of Storyboard, but I don't really use them. I'm terrible at outlining, and I haven't attempted a novel in sometime, so I haven't had much chance to really test them out. What I do use is WriteMonkey, which is probably the best thing I've ever downloaded...

Tyrion (I mean come on, he's amazing) Tywin (Yes, he may be a bad father, but he's a brilliant commander, especially in the show). Stannis (Strict, but a good commander. In the show, how is it possible to not love a king that leads his soldiers from the front).

I always assumed it was written by a generator that strung random words together (that was programmed by a generator that strung random coding together).

Welcome to site Weaver! -Your delayed welcomist.

In some ways, I think fanfiction is a great exercise for writing. Since you already have the characters that you like, you don't have to spend time creating them (She he do this? I don't know if he's strong enough, or if he's a coward!), and the world building is already done, so you don't have...

I love darker stuff. While I'm not willing to say that dark necessary equals realism (Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy anyone?), I think that the vast majority of darker things does seem to be a bit more realistic. I think the key isn't necessarily the shade of the world, but the shade of the...

I wouldn't say writing is necessarily my baby, but more of my 'creation' (in a deity like sense). The world was forged by the darkest imaginings from the deepest recesses of my mind, and tempered with an ungodly amount of caffeine. The characters all have families, love, and wants, and I care...

I don't think I would have a problem with it, although I can say I haven't encountered something like it before. Although if it's a problem for you writing and isn't the right fit, I think it would be best to remove it.

Please take the below advice with a grain of fae dust. When I pick up a book at a store, I do four things. 1) Check Cover (I judge the hell out of covers) 2) Read back/dust jacket The first two are to make sure that I'm not picking up a vampire romance. 3) Flip to a random page to make sure...

If anyone is going object to your characters saying democracy is inefficient, I doubt they'll have read your book. Most people I've met who say things like "were totes a democracy and its the best' do not read much (and when they do, it isn't fantasy), whereas those who read are much more open...

A god is a tricky term to define. Since we're working with imaginary worlds, there's no limits to what we can do when we create the beings. We can have a deity who with a snap of his fingers could create storms, burn cities, and grind mountains to dust, but also be deathly afraid of cheese. In...

Welcome to the forum Nex. I'm glad you could make it.

If it's an escape scene, can you up the tension/danger? Have people chasing after them with bloodhounds, horsemen, an angry mob with flashlights and pitchforks, the works.
