    The Opened Black Door

    Also, just to add to what pmmg said: we need to see more text to get a better idea of what this is about, and what feedback to provide. You could post a longer extract in Critique Requests, for instance. But it would be a good idea to spend a lot of time polishing it before doing so. Looking...

    The Opened Black Door

    First, welcome! Regarding the paragraphs: writers who have more experience than me will tell you that they work really hard on the opening paragraphs of their work. They need to get the reader to commit. So maybe "For the majority of my formative years" is a bit too formal to grab the reader...

    Kings and Witches - it's complete!

    I am happy to give it a beta read. But this will take some weeks, as I have a few things on at present. Hope that is OK.

    Hey everyone.. Its been a while..

    Ow, that must hurt. Sorry to hear that. Maybe people on this group who are computer experts could weigh in here, but the first thing that I would do would be to take the laptop to one of those places where they fix laptops, to see if they can recover the files.

    Pageants

    Just throwing this out there, but the plot would depend a lot on the level of technology that you assume in your story.

    Retrograde Earth lore building and discussion

    There is lots of good detail in your worldbuilding that could support a story about Reversia. I've read the document but it would take me a lot of time to go through the various physical arguments that you make to support your maps, so I won't do that. Here's another idea, though: what if...

    Short Story Question

    If the deity isn't real, then yes, the story will be about personal growth in the character, due to her interaction with the idea of the deity rather than the deity itself. Maybe along the lines of "I'm on Aslan's side, even if there is no Aslan."
