Hey there Muqtada, and welcome to the Scriptorium. You and I are pretty much the same. Look around, make yourself at home, and if you have any questions or just want to talk, send me a message.

Of COURSE people still read high fantasy. There's a pretty decent, dedicated fandom, even if the genre isn't popular at the moment. The first section I go to in the library/bookstore is the fantasy section. And besides, we're all fantasy writers here. What are we going to say? That no one...

If it fits with your story, who cares where the mythical creatures are coming from? Don't look so much at where they came from, just whether or not they work with the rest of your world.

Klee Shay, your reply reminded me of Sheldon from The Big Band Theory.

It would be cool if it was an electric violin, but it isn't. Just an acoustic one. But a very beautiful one.

She can play anything, but her instrument of choice is the violin.

My favorite has to be straight up Lord of the Rings. I saw the first movie at the age of eight and fell in love. I started reading them when I was eleven and haven't stopped since. I re-read them quite often.

Yeah I like that first one. Much more epic.

I hadn't thought about why it's fatal, but I guess I really should. I think it's the simple fact the sound is heard, but now that you've brought up how it could be carried by the pitch, that sounds like a really cool idea. I would like to be sort of fantastic, but at the same time, realistic...

I listen to any number of soundtracks. I can't listen to songs with lyrics, since it distracts me something fierce, and soundtracks have just the right amount of epicness in them. I have a playlist on grooveshark that has soundtracks from The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, The Last Samurai...

I had this great idea for a specialized type of magic involving music, or sounds, but that's as far as I got. I don't know what kinds of abilities a music mage should have, except for one: the ability to alter the pitch of any sound to negate it. For instance, there's a creature in my story...

Ok, my ten are: NCIS NCIS: Los Angeles Parenthood Gilmore Girls 7th Heaven The 4400 In Plain Sight House Hunters International The Soup Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern

I'm a perfectionist too. That's why none of the books are finished. I have three fourths of one of them and half of another, but only an idea for the third.

Hey there guys. I'm rachelwrites527 and I've been writing a fantasy series for about six years. I'm a creative writing major, sophomore in college, and HP/LOTR fanatic. I'm not going to lie, I'm feeling a bit intimidated here, so any reassurance would be nice.
