You are a light stone! That, in itself, would make an interesting character/plot!

I was born in light! I love this system, really! It brings in an entirely new perspective. I would say I could write pages of character traits based on this. I have a work in progress involving the western zodiac, I love the concept of this, its almost the same. yet you were creative enough to...

I have the same bad habit of not finishing stories. Outlining sort makes me feel boxed in to that particular path of the story. I like to treat my stories like life, action and consequence. The only problem is, sometimes life gets boring. No one wants to hear about a protagonist doing laundry...

I, personally, like characters that I can relate to. Male or female, if I feel a connection I can put myself into the story . Truly immerse myself, (To the point where I stop reading and blink stupidly, realizing that THIS is the real world and I get disappointed... etc) So I suppose when...

Steering away from the land of technicality.... I think if your readers were meant to be children something like Komodo would be fitting. They read such titles as Captain Underpants.... So yes, for childrens fantasy it is ok to be odd or obvious. I don't know why adults have to be so...

I agree, there are too many people out there who use the anonymity of the internet to make people feel horrible. Trolls.

I use a template only to remember minor details. Like favorite food, eye color, height, weight etc. If I want to add or change something it helps to keep things organized as well as a reference to the traits that could be confused between characters. Its a great organizing tool, but you create...

oh, Gabe dies at the end of book 1... Helena is the ongoing character.

Kim- The only allusion to this demon in my story is Gabriels moments of insane rage. His 'wrath' if you will. The ghosts could probably warn of 'something sinister'. I'll have to go through and check to what can be done. Chime- Good to hear from you too. :) The first story is already split...

It wouldn't fit in right with the last book. The very last scene of the first book is the start of the supernatural elements.. It involves a deal with the devil, so to speak. Though the first book does have ghosts, which is as supernatural as it gets. Until the end that is.

Yeah, thats what I was thinking, but perhaps I make them in the same 'world' and not have them be in a series? The main character from the first is the only link to the other two. Her character is extremely dynamic and literally changes in the blink of an eye (Or turn of the page)

So I have a series going. The first book has little to no supernatural or fantastical elements. The last two are chock full of the supernatural. Is it a good idea to have the first book as just a jumping off point? Or should I use it as a sort of prequel?

Anything by H.I.M., Godspeed by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Dear God by Avenged Sevenfold.

That sounds scary actually. To have your audience ruthlessly judge and criticize before you even have your draft finished. Sounds like psychological torture to me. Then again I am an extremely private person. I don't even like to clean if theres someone else in the same house as I am.

having an Adults Only forum would most likely only fuel the younger persons desire to read what was in there. I know I HAD to get into anything off limits just to see. There really isn't a point, but if you do think that your stuff is too adult you could always just put a warning. I don't think...
