    Opinions on developing a fan-fic into something more?

    I am doing this as well, though my WIP doesn't depend on any 'content'. The fan fiction part are characters that have evolved more or less to 'my' characters so it's easier to transform them completely to original characters. I aim to have the fan fiction version finished this week and than...

    What does a torture room smell like?

    I'm writing a scene set in a torture room that is located the dungeon of a castle. The room is rather large and has a heigh ceiling and is badly lit. I can picture the whole room but I have absolutely no idea what a torture room can smell like. I thought of using the cliché 'it smelled like...

    Words like music

    Music is very important to me, though I am normally unable to write to music with lyrics. Unconsciously I start listening to the lyrics and there goes the writing flow. Like mentioned before, I use music to get into the right emotional feel to write. Sometimes I use songs that describe feelings...

    Using foreign languages to create names...

    Right now I am going to derive all the names for my religion and magic from Finnish. I am very very bad with names and I am fascinated by Finland. I am not going to just translate since I have a Finnish character so that might be a bit strange. But going to add extra things to the translation or...

    Point of views: how do you handle them

    I couldn't directly find a topic about this, so I decided to make one. I am co-writing a fantasy series with a friend and we have decided to split the writing by point of views. Now the problem is that we have two point of view characters that will spent quite sometime together and I'm...

    Lets talk about torture.

    Hmm thanks for the answer! Well no, the society isn't advanced enough to notice those things. But well I suppose a magical potion could resolves such things as well, if need be. @Spider: true... but still! I never kill spiders because I'm too afraid of them... I let someone else do that! If...

    Lets talk about torture.

    Spiders are creepy... they way they move... uugh. But I don't like six legged (or more) bugs either. Will be placing food and water just out of the range of the victim not also some kind of torture? I do think it's pretty cruel when you are thirsty and hungry and can see, but cannot reach...
