    Zelda is all new in December!

    I haven't played any Zelda games yet, but Ocarina of Time is next on my list of things to play (I think...), so it should be fun.

    Bullying in fantasy stories

    I tend to avoid overt bullying in the fantasy stuff I write (that's not to say *anything* about the "RL" stuff, though!), especially since it has been done a lot. It's not that characters haven't been bullied in the past (some of them have and it does have an effect on them), but I don't put...

    Good and evil

    In the piece I'm writing (Vysarian Corruption), there is good and evil that is obvious to the narrator. Whether it is good or evil from an objective standpoint or not is up to the reader to decide. In the other piece I've been working on for quite awhile (but it's been on the metaphorical back...

    Fantasy Names

    I don't really have a universal naming system I use, but a lot of the male characters have a ' in their name somewhere. Ish'tar is a half-dragon fire mage, though his mentor has a name that you might see belonging to someone in this world (Nat'iel - short for Nathaniel - Winters, almost always...

    Combining genres

    Personally, I don't see anything wrong with mixing genres a little bit. If you look at Tolkien's work, there were long excerpts of poem written within the story, especially when one of the characters was telling a story, which was commonly done through poetry in his work. As far as the...

    Cover Art. Your thoughts on this?

    Lemme download Gimp and play around with it for a bit and see what I can come up with. Mind you, it probably won't be very good, but I can at least show what I'm trying to say. (Unlike most writers, I am notoriously word challenged.) Edit: Here it is. I'm not that great with photo...

    Cover Art. Your thoughts on this?

    From an artistic standpoint, there is a LOT of contrast between the white on the person's skin and the black cover. First thing that drew my attention, in fact, was the light skin between the eyes. Maybe if you faded the skin into the black cover (so that it looked a little more like two eyes...

    My RPG. :) Text-based. Ideal for writers.

    Once you get some more information up (specifically with what kinds of characters you allow and are looking for), could you please let me know?

    The Hobbit.

    Yay! The Hobbit was really hard for me to get into at first (maybe because I picked it up when I was in second grade and then proceeded to have to look up just about every other word Tolkien used), but once I read it, I really enjoyed it. I think both The Hobbit and LotR are in-need of another...

    When did you know?...

    I've always enjoyed making up stories. It began with me stealing the dolls from my sister's dollhouse and making them go on adventures and get lost in the woods and bitten by the giant rubber snake (Snakey... how original...). I would also love to read and some of my favourite books were the...

    Best book that you were given as a child?

    Probably the Narnia books. I received them when I was in early elementary school (first grade, I think) and I read through them all. Even as an adult, I still enjoy coming back and re-reading them. Another book that brings back fond childhood memories is "One Fish, Two Fish" by Dr. Seuss...

    Three Things Thread

    1. Am very happy that my computer is fixed. It had been broken for a few months due to what I think is a nasty virus and I just got a recovery CD, so I was able to fix everything and now I can write on it. 2. I've been watching lots of Baten Kaitos videos today (and yesterday) and I've been...
