    Humorous scene

    Sorry for the delay in responding. I got hijacked by reality. See I got a strange sens of humor. Thank you all for the grate advice. It's true different people find different thing funny. Personally I don't like comedies but enjoy some humor thrown in to a serious situation. That is something...

    wards and protection against aes sidhe

    Trees and other plants always had a lot of significance in the occult and superstitions. Yew for instance was associated whit death and is often found in old cemeteries, rowan was linked to protection (especially against evil spirits), healing and general sens of being good. Why exactly I don't...

    Humorous scene

    Thanks so far. Unseemly: I would post it in showcase but it isn't typed yet. I usually write everything by hand first but I'll try posting in the next couple of days to see what people think. Concentrating more on the delivery rather then on the actual event sounds like a good place to start...

    Extra-Dimensional Spaces

    It sounds like a really interesting idea. I got this image whit the thief's guild of them disappearing in to this innocent looking house and the authorities just looking confusedly as to where the thieves disappeared of to. The second sounds batter to me but you have the problem of regulating...

    Paragraphs...

    I newer payed much attention to how long a paragraph is. I put them where they make sense, when you finish one thing (train of thought) and go to the next; a shift in perspective, switching from descriptions to action that sort of thing. It's basically haw I was taught at school. I do agree...

    Writing Outside Your Comfort Zone

    First of everything that is not fantasy is out of my comfort zone. Interestingly enough I didn't actually start writhing fantasy, though I was 13 and it was horrible :eeeew!: so I never attempted it again. I do try different things within the genre I'm not necessary comfortable whit...

    Outline vs Discovery?

    I'm completely incapable of outlining anything without already having something written. I start whit the general idea of what I want, and just go from there. For instance: I had these idea to write a scene where some major characters go to a cemetery in the middle if the night. For no other...

    Wakeing from a coma

    Let me try and answer you're questions. Firstly, it's a medieval magic type of world so no IVs or the like just potions and such. I did invent a pain reliving potion (think morphine) that has an ingredient that makes my MC drunk. He was injured in a battle whit a plant like monster. He got...

    Favourite Chemical Element?

    I know that. In my country (Slovenia) we haw these rely old mercury mine. I think it's from the mid 16th century. It's now a museum and they haw these bowl of it so visitors can see what it looks like and even touch it. They do tell you it's poisonous and you can wash you're hands immediately...

    Favourite Chemical Element?

    Mercury, I like the color and haw it's a liquid but it's not wet if you touch it. Found that fascinating since I was a kid.

    Names

    I have everything from real still in use names to ancient names to made up names. In my defense I haw a lot of different cultures and species (races) so can afford some versatility. But mostly I just go whit what sounds right. I also connect names whit the few words of a made up language I had...

    Naming Your Weapons

    In my world I have powerful (or not so much) artifacts. Various mystical objects whit magical powers more often then not made by the gods that all have names. If for no other reason so that people can refer to them. Often these names also reflect what kind of power the weapon has. For instance...
