I really like that idea of shifting from prose to poetry. And honestly your poem's second part is really moving and great, I love the Falina Cairn, part you should keep at it. You're by far, better than I am.

Nice, really liked this!

My first French fantasy novel has 1,547 pages of prose, and the sequels are looking to be of equivalent length, currently considering self-publishing, but I'd prefer to have an editor peruse it and help touch it up. My English books are nowhere near this length, and vary from 80 page anthologies...

I get why many are saying nope, but this post made me so very happy to see! So these bards, in this period of your world are they akin to the ancient fire-place story-tellers of Native society or more akin to the troubadours of France or poets of Celtic societies pre-Rome? I get that, I'm a...

I dunno if there's already a thread for this, but just wanted to ask if anyone else is writing in this kind of style. I started off vowing never to write poetry, and yet after reading Williams & Tolkien, I've found I've been using every excuse to go more and more poetic until now I'm starting to...

Personally, I tend to write more chivalric or old epic poems though recently I turned to Alfred Tennyson's style for one poem that's telling a story of a great battle (almost finished it actually), and it's been great fun. You should also formulate your poems, to your own tastes though I do...

I must say his initials are a little embarrassing (no offense intended, juste que they um yeah). But I'm glad you're so mature about things S J Lee, I truly respect your views. I think we could all learn to view books in this manner and say 'wasn't for me, but maybe so and so would like it', and...

I will disagree in some ways; I think that some Dragonlance books are great, I mean the Legend of Huma, Kingpriest Trilogy and the anthology Dragons at War are fantastic. And I frankly like Paladine better as a character than Gandalf, that said I get where you're coming from as there's a lot of...

Shoot, I make a comment and immediately show myself to be ignorant here lol jk. Okay you got me, in my case I blog also on facebook, though not always frequently and it does sometimes feel satisfying. I vlog everyday, sometimes 2-3 times a day. I agree with you on the subject of twitter, and...

I'm sorry to hear about your sorrows good sir, and do hope that is soon corrected. And yes I love the Smurfs. And well played CupofJoe, love your comment! Yes, Asterix is the height of French fantasy it seems ;). Oh and I see, I'll have to be sure to take a look at Stormlight Archive, thanks...

Does anyone have any recommendations for French editors?

Not sure blogging really helps, no offence intended, just seems like a waste of time that could be better spent on studying and writing/creating one's fantasy universe and characters. That said, I vlog instead and think it might be a quicker and more efficient route towards building up a platform.

Salut, I'm like most I imagine here, a aspiring author and while most of my writing is in French, I also write in English and am a big fan of the old big fantasy-universes such as Middle-Earth, Osten Ard and Krynn. I feel that something has been lost along the way; fantasy authors aren't...

Hi there, Paladine and Eru Ilúvatar bless y'all. And Guten tag hahaha
