    Help! its Professor McGonagall and she won't go away!

    I'm currently writing a short story about several young students in an adventuring school, and I wanted to have a stricter teacher, similar to Professor McGonagall. However, I'm already taking a huge amount of inspiration from the Harry Potter series, and to have a McGonagall like character...

    Need help naming a type of wizard

    I'm developing (hopefully) an original magic system that has different levels of users. I've got apprentices as the lowest level of mages in my world, followed by rangers, then hex-______, then convergents, and finally paladins. I don't know what to title the third rank in this, but I'm fairly...

    Jamal in wonderland Chapter 4

    The Cat and the Caterpillar Jamal turned to see the speaker but was greeted by only dark shadows. “Who dat?” he said. “Up here.” came the voice. Slightly above him on a very wide branch was a very strange duo. First, there was a massive caterpillar, almost three feet long, sitting in...

    Improving Description?

    use the all-knowing Google. if you simply google words that describe noses, you get hundreds of choices. Also, learn a bit about what you're describing. if you know the ins and outs of how doors work, describing them is no problem. there are actually a lot of parts that go into something as...

    Out of curiosity

    in absolutely everyone's life, there are hundreds of contacts and machines moving to make it possible. the average person knows 600 people. that's a lot of characters. Fortunately, we can group them into main characters, side characters, and background characters. In harry potter, there are...

    Question

    sure we can. you just need to put it in the critique request forum or make a portfolio to put it in. it will then get graded by anybody with the time to grade it.

    So... Vaping

    I'm writing a book about Alice in wonderland, but there is a twist where, instead of Alice, they inhabitants of wonderland find themselves with an inner city kid. i want to steal from the movie and have the Caterpillar smoking a pipe, but i figured, why not make it a bit more inner city? the...

    Vetronia - political organization

    From what i see, it seems that this system greatly benefits the common good, but could probably hurt minorities, especially poor ones. they wouldn't be able to attend the scheduled meetings and wouldn't be able to have the time or manpower to perform a successful protest. also, there would...

    Jamal in Wonderland Chapter 3

    The Rabbit Race and a Very Large Dog “Who’s Alice?” Jamal demanded. The Hare fell over. “No, no--nay, no it can’t, can’t be. Alice… don’t you remember? Me, the hair?” He stood back up. “Oh, of course you do. You're just pretending, Alice, now really. “I don’t know who the heck you are, and I...

    Trolls, Goblins, and orcs

    In my novel i would like to have a bumbling race of bad guys, but i haven't read very much about trolls, goblins, and orcs. I've read and seen lord of the rings, but that about it. Do you guys have any thoughts or ideas about how i should go about creating them? also, what stereotypes are there...

    Hawaiian names

    you don't necessarily need to make your own names. there are thousands of names that you can find in a single google search, and i don't know a single name in hawaiian so your readers probably wont either. if you really want to make your own names you can combine two shorter names into one...

    Developing Mana

    its a nice system. does all gold no matter the purity count as equal? does the blood have to be your own? how was etherium discovered if it is completely intangible? does the density affect the power of the manna that can be used from it(like gold has most, because it is heaviest, or has the...

    Jamal in wonderland Chapter 2

    Arguing Doors The first thing that Jamal felt after his fall was a dull throbbing coming from his head. He opened his eyes to see a blindingly bright light streaming down on him. “Ho! He moved.” came a voice to his right. “He did not!” came another. “No, no, I see’s it...

    Numbers

    if their methods of counting are as widespread as the arabic system(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9), then they would be used for everything from buying coffee to architecture, leaving plenty of room for explanation. if you want to see how the different number systems in the world work, the ancient incan(or...
