    Can A Wizard Be Female?

    Btw I’m still writing this book. There are female wizards and magicians in it, depending on their seniority and degree of magical ability. Thanks for all your input!

    How do you choose your characters' names?

    I usually don't have a problem choosing names for my characters, but I did accidentally invent one name as the result of an autocorrect that went wrong. When I wanted a name for a Magic Academy I just closed my eyes and typed until something useful appeared; then I Googled it to make sure it...

    Can A Wizard Be Female?

    Thanks Sheilawisz, I've just read about half of your epic tale. Wow!!!! I'll have to read the rest tomorrow. I wasn't expecting that twist where Grass transfigured from male to female. I have a similar theme in my book - there's never anything original under the sun, is there? Although, mine is...

    Is This a New Trend?

    The worst book I've ever read (or partly read as I gave up, screaming "Aaagh!" halfway through) that does this, was ghost written for a famous supermodel many years ago. Each chapter was written in either 1st person or 3rd person POV and was about a different model. After a while I worked out...

    Can A Wizard Be Female?

    Hi skip.knox, Actually, she's a magician AND a wizard. Would that be problematic?

    Can A Wizard Be Female?

    Interestingly, when I typed "wizardess", autocorrect immediately changed it to "wizard". (Autocorrect always thinks it knows best!)

    Can A Wizard Be Female?

    Hello Sheilawisz, Please can you direct me to your story or send me a link - it sounds intriquing!

    Can A Wizard Be Female?

    Yes, witch is really the female version of warlock, isn't it? Do wizards have to be male and look like Gandalf?

    Can A Wizard Be Female?

    I'm writing a fantasy children's/ YA book - a bit Harry Potterish but, hopefully, different. I want to have a female wizard - should she be a "wizardess", or does that sound politically incorrect these days when actresses often call themselves "actors"?

    Huntresses Attack Monsters --in 2-D!

    Hi Legendary Sidekick! Merry Xmas and I love your cartoon strips. You're so talented! The one about the Princess and the peas is hilarious! I recognise some of the characters from our Flat Earth RPG.

    Fairy Tale Study

    Hi Addison, I think you have a typo: shouldn't that be, the Princess and the Frog? I know of The Snow Queen, rather than the Ice Queen, but sometimes stories have different titles in the UK. I've read all of these, but have voted for my favourite! :D

    Why is Frozen so Successful?

    Hi Legendary Sidekick, thanks for posting the video. Have you seen the one for how Tangled should have ended? Brilliant! I must admit that the first time I watched Frozen I was confused about who Anna should marry. So, is this a film for girls, or do boys also enjoy it as Tom Nimenai says? Are...

    Why is Frozen so Successful?

    Hi, I was disappointed when I saw Frozen as I'd read all the hype about it. I expected the Snow Queen and...:confused: Well, where was she? The song, Let It Go, is pleasant enough, but I thought the plot was flawed, to say the least. I mean, how come Elsa's gloves don't turn to ice when she...
