    Fantasy Names

    I tend to string together a few letters that sound good if they're not from this world. I end up with names like 'Daian', 'Valn', 'Erescent' and 'Arancore'. Unfortunately, I tend to overuse the 'a'.

    Uh... Hi?

    Multiple personalities is true, but I'm cancer and, yes, I live in France. Born in Scotland, live in France.

    Uh... Hi?

    Thanks for the welcomes! I'm 18 next June, if I survive the coming school year ^^. Hopefully I'll post something in the showcase tomorrow when I get home.

    Who are the best Warriors

    I would say the Dark Hunters from Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunter series. They're a little clichéd, being immortal badboys executing things that prey on humans, but they're also quite interesting. Given immortality by the goddess Artemis, the Dark Hunters are humans who were already fierce...

    Battle Scenes

    I tend to ask my brother. He reads a lot of the Black Library/Warhammer type books, so he advises me. Other than that, he also gives me tips on weapons and if needs be, acts out the fight scenes with me so I can get an idea of shocks and aches gained through the battle. I also borrow horses...

    Your Writing Station

    I mainly use my laptop for writing, especially for storing the pieces I've written. I'm really bad at keeping all my bits of paper together. Unfortunately, since I spend 8-12 hours at school everyday and 6 hours on a Saturday, (stupid French education system), pen and paper seems to be my best...

    Rant About the Publishing World

    I've been trying to get a story published for about a year and having gone through nearly every agent in the book, I've given up on it and buried my nose in writing another book in the hope that this one will work. Most of the time it's 'thank you for submitting your manuscript, but we do not...

    Torchwood: Miracle Day

    I've been following Torchwood for a while, (Well, I kinda followed Jack away from Dr Who to be honest). I loved the first two series. They were dark, yes, but they also had the humor to lighten it when necessary. Children of Earth was ok, not my favourite, but a new way of presenting the...

    Cirque Du Freak Series

    I've read the series and really enjoyed it, but I found that they made a complete pig's ear of the film. It clung to the plot of the books by only the thinnest of threads. I recommend the books, but definitely not the film.

    Best Opening Scenes

    Here's one, from a horror novel, but one I loved none the less: "Our story opens where countless stories have ended in the last twenty-six years: with an idiot - in this case, my brother Shaun - deciding it would be a good idea to go out and poke a zombie with a stick to see what happens. As...

    Uh... Hi?

    Hi? Well, my name's Allyssianne, (just call me Ally, it's easier and doesn't wear out your keyboard). I'm 17, been writing... basically since I could hold a pen, ^^. I'm still learning a lot about writing, but that doesn't really matter to me. Life's about learning! I mainly write...
