The demons need souls to "fuel" their power. The angels are slaughtering the humans, so if the demons don't start protecting the stillsouled, the angels will kill them all and be at an advantage over the demons--something the demons are not about to let happen.

In [Arventad], things are different. With the murder of the ur-god at the hands of a wayward human three centuries ago, the balances began to change. The protective angels of the ur-god's armies were left without leadership, support, or the motivation for good. Capitalizing on their latent...

Gotta agree here. I love dwarves, but I generally couldn't care less about elves.

Seventh Sanctum is good fun! "An arrogant slave is wasting time in an unhealthy cathedral. His brother is bitten by a bloodthirsty tiger. With the help of a lovesick thief, he must become a vampire in order to save his religion." - Personally, I can't wait for the M. Night Shyamalan movie...

I've found that with all of the various ideas I've had for stories, I have little trouble writing a fantastic bit that would (should) be later inserted into the middle of a piece, but can never write beginnings. Every time I try to write the first part of anything, even if all the rest of it is...

Short sentences is a good idea. I've already been trying to keep his lines simple and, at times, uninformed. Lots of questions and musings, not a whole lot of confidence in his knowledge.

I just started writing for a gnoll in my WIP, but his dialogue feels off. It's correct. I feel like a primitive canine race would have some sort of dialect, or speech impediment. How would you show canid nature trough speech? Bonus: What about other races and/or cultures? Might as well make a...

I came up with something similar to a plot, so I posted it, and a very brief description of the setting there.

Yeah, what I need mostly, I think, is somebody to look at what I have and give me some ideas for stories. XD I'm much better at the world building part, but like you said, it really slows me down on ever having anything written, I just don't know what to write. I have a vision of the setting...

Ok, so I have like a 15-page world document of attempted world building, but I've run into a creative rut, or something, and need some advice, criticism, suggestions, or ideas to get me going again, I guess. Is there somewhere I can post what I have for this?

Are there any works of fantasy out there that use allusion, satire, and parody as the backbone of the work?

Is it just me, or is there a lack of really good, high-budget, epic fantasies, a la The Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean, Avatar, and even Sucker Punch, compared to comic book movies and such? When will it shift back? Are the ones I've listed signs? Don't get me wrong. I appreciate...

I added The Prestige post-posting. ;P Gladiator isn't there because my roommate has that and Braveheart, so I'll spend my money on something we don't have. :P He's much more into historical movies anyways. I like me some fantasy.

This is my current DVD collection: 10,000 B.C. Troy Beowulf The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King Kingdom of Heaven The Illusionist Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl Pirates of the...

This too. Lol. I love watching cool people. XD
