Thanks for the advice everyone! I really appreciate it. I've been playing around with a few ideas, but school has effectively sabotaged my time to the point where I can't do do the full re-write that I have planned. You have all given me quite a few things to think about. Again, you have my thanks!

Alright, I will try and send it to you through your inbox. Might take a few though. I don't know what the word count limit is. I'm sending twenty pages. I wouldn't mind reading what you have. I don't limit myself to fantasy. It's simply what I write. The only thing I do not particularly enjoy...

Oh you don't even want to know what the word count was after I had originally written it. The way I write is I put to pen (or word processor to be more accurate) everything that comes into my mind. Then that all hits the chopping block. It sits at 208,000 words rounded right now, but I know that...

Hi! I reside over at UNR and don't usually find myself at TMCC, but I'm sure we could figure something out. I must admit, I am an amateur with only a love of writing to back me, but I hope to hone what little skill I have into something more potent. I am currently going through my second rewrite...

There is a whole group of these people who trade with demons so I was a little wary with calling them all possessed, though you are right, that is what they are basically doing. That link was extremely helpful, thank you. The religion of Demonolatry is very close to what I was looking for! I do...

I'm sorry, that was poor wording on my part. The man sells his own soul to the demon who takes it as payment. The necromancer sees this as a simple "removing" of his soul as he does not believe the demon powerful enough to be able to manipulate his mind. My apologies, I should have tried to...

I am going with the Catholic notion of a soul. That it is the immortal "spirit" of a human being which lives on after death. Whether it be an eternity of bliss in heaven or of unrelenting agony in Hell is determined by one's earthly deeds. There are records in the Catholic religion of people...

Those are also my favorites. I love how Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes started with a Study in Scarlet and the new Sherlock series starts with a Study in Pink. There are a few Easter eggs for fans throughout the series. Ireth, Steven Moffat said that if you watch the ending very carefully...

Gimp is also an awesome tool to use in creating your own covers. It is also free and YouTube has all the videos on how to use it. You can also download the manual and read it instead. I can't draw for (it seems toffee is the word of choice here), but with that program I was able to layer...

I loved that one too! My favorite game soundtrack would have to be the Witcher. The song "the Witcher Theme" is my favorite. I never would have thought pairing a violin with an electric guitar would result in something like that. I played violin for twelve years so I tend to lean towards music...

The antagonist in my story removed his soul from his body in order to replace it with that of a demon. By doing so, he gained the demon's power for his own. The downside to bearing the soul of a demon in his body is he must constantly maintain control. Failure to do so would result in the demon...

Hi everyone! I'm an avid reader/writer who is new to the area. I would love to meet other writers who would be willing to help critique my new book. I would, of course, be willing to do the same. Let me know if you'd like to bounce ideas off one another or peer review chapters. I love reviewing...

Hello everyone! I'm new to the author/writer world and am trying my best to understand how things work. I just finished my first novel and am conducting my research into agents, publishers, and the general ins and outs of submissions. There's so much to learn it's almost overwhelming, but I'm up...
