    Heavy Metal Fantasy World - Help!

    I was thinking the same thing. @WeilderOfTheMonkeyBlade you do realize that if you want to use Norse+ Celtic gods that Zeus should not be here right? That being said in regards to the story world itself I think before you do anything else you should decide if you will use all types of metal...

    Diversity is Not Enough: Race, Power, and Publishing

    I have noticed this as well in terms of non self published books. That being said I liked it when Rue in the hunger games was from what I can tell represented as she was supposed to be in the movies. Even if it caused some idiots to hate on the movie because of it. Apparently they where shocked...

    The School for Good and Evil 1 & 2

    Well that is interesting and would be cool though I hope the last book is the brain one. If that is the case. As for the covers while that is cool I had something else in mind. How should I put this. The School master turned into something at the end of the book, as did his twin. Now look at...

    The School for Good and Evil 1 & 2

    I loved the first book. Can not wait till the second one. Now the question remains what can and can we not discuss about possibly theories with out going into too many spoilers? Since it is a trilogy after all. Because there is one I want to put by you which I had after I finished reading the...

    Whacky Narrator

    Short answer yes I like the idea. Long answer, honestly while I have seen characters break the forth wall and some be aware of the narrator in movies and TV shows. I have yet off the top of my head to read a book like that. And if I did I don't currently remember it. For it to work I don't...

    What Details are Necessary?

    This but rather than do one large info dumb, have your main character mention what she does know. Then have the reader learn more about it as she does by way of conversation or having her discover something. But only when it makes sense to do so within the story. If it is not hard core scifi...

    What do you do when your writer's vision is corrupted?

    I love Danny Phantom and I have seen the other two. Perhaps another way to get back to doing what you are trying to achieve is to ask yourself. What about what they end up doing in your head makes them seem stupid? And then adjust accordingly.

    Behind the name random name generator.

    Just as the title says really. Select what you want and generate away. I couldn't find this posted here before so I apologize if it has been already. Also for fun try selecting nothing but the "Hippy" option for the style/origin of the name and see what happens;). Behind the name random name...

    What do you do when your writer's vision is corrupted?

    Personally I ask myself three things. 1) Am I over thinking this to the point of becoming bored? 2) Do I know the characters as well as I think I do? 3) Am I writing a fan fiction? If you say yes to the first one, come back and work on it later because that is your problem right there...

    Inspiration!

    Walking, playing written games such as some of the baby name games you find on line. Reading a book I haven't finished reading and if all else fails I try to make a diagram of things within my stories world rather than write anything. So that way I might think of something else to add that goes...

    Divergent - a review

    Yea I kind of got that but in the book not rejecting the knife or showing some dislike towards it meant you were likely Dauntless. So everyone is either taught how to do the cutting properly or is everyone that year at least partly Dauntless? I mean I guess I can assume that the reason in the...

    Dystopian recommeded reads? And what has become cliche in it?

    OK I have just finished re reading the first two hunger games books and have also read half way through Matched. I will read Brave new world after that followed by Insergent and the last hunger games book Mockingjay. @Philip Overby I have not actually heard of Neuromancer but from what I can...

    Help me choose what to read next!

    I think Ireth could still read that one first though since it is the first in the series. Followed by Stone of Farewell and To Green Angel Tower. But like you I haven't heard of the rest of them though. Not that some of the story is told by secondary characters though as well as the main. I have...

    Dystopian recommeded reads? And what has become cliche in it?

    Thank you everyone I have a good list now. I will also reconsider about the Margret Thatcher thing.

    Divergent - a review

    I just realized something. Does the whole cutting ceremony in order to decide make any sense to anyone or did that come off as odd to all of you as it did me?
