For me, I have to say its escapism and also the need to release my thoughts so I wouldn't break. Whether it be in the form of poetry or large scale stories or short ones. Before I started writing and only dreamed of writing, I used to mainly imagined myself writing strictly fantasy but these...

Hey, thanks, I didn't know such a film exist. I will watch it tomorrow and save that link as well. Thank you so much.

Yes, that don't read it at all. I ask one of the judge what her favorite genre/books are and her answers were, 'Historical fiction drama, Jane Austen, John Green.' You know, that type of stuff. And when I ask her if any of them had read fantasy, one said, 'Yes, I've read Cassandra Clare's Mortal...

I will post it on critique request. I would mighty appreciate it if you read it. And please be honest about what your thoughts are.

As Mad Swede suggests I'm thinking of posting that short story on the Critique Request page. Its about 5500 words, I sincerely hope all those who comment here will take their precious time to read and critique it. Please don't be afraid to be harsh on your feedback. I'm a big boy, I can take it...

The main reason for my posting this question was, recently I entered a short story writing contest where they stated that all themes and genres were open. Long story short, I didn't make it top 10. And I'm not saying this in defense or because I think my submitted work was splendid or anything...

What about Travis Bickle from Scorsese's Taxi Driver? He's a fairly good example of an anti-hero.

I have to agree with Rosemary Tea here. If you don't have the heart to put permanent scars on your characters, plot armor is the way to go. Have you watched any shonen anime? Even if the main characters are all poisoned or something like that and they are beyond healing, they usually make it out...

Not that I can be called a poet or anything like that but it'll be nice to share some, I guess.

I enjoy religions, myths and all that as well and I totally agree with you. Most people can be so closed minded when it comes to religions (especially the state where I am from, you are either Christian or atheist). Which is why I try my best to be unbiased when talking about folks lifelong...

Oh, sorry for my saying he, Maester. But I see your point. Thanks for replying. I'm 20 years old right now (started writing at 18) and still relatively amateur. Your input really helps my way of thinking regarding this topic. Thanks a bunch. Also, you mention having an editor, does that mean...

I see both your points, though. Perhaps I ought to find those willing to critique/read my work with an open mind, without prejudice.

But he reads fantasy, right?

Oh come on, you needn't be embarrassed, you clearly know well more than I do anyway. The only thing I know about it is that the religion is older than Christianity and Judaism, and that it believes a hero shall emerge after thousands of years (correct me if I'm wrong) to defeat Angra Mainyu, the...

Does it have any insight on the religion itself, and would you recommend it?
