I would say stick with the wife's POV. From what you mentioned, it would work best for me if I read this story. For me, her anxiety and her struggle to accomplish the witch's task would be completely invalidated if I knew what her husband was doing at this time. It would help to stress her...

Oh God, I just laughed out loud at the idea of Scrooge McDuck as a Mary Sue (or isn't it rather Gary Stu?...), I am in a public library and everyone is giving me looks now. :oops: If you think of Mary Sue in fanfiction, especially fanfiction based on some fantasy book or movie, it's usually a...

Hehe. Then I will shamelessly take the liberty of replying before I move on to no longer clog the thread with replies not relevant to the topic ;) I think that "something" is exactly the same formula Mills & Boon uses, only with vampires and werewolves. A seemingly plain and seemingly flawed...

Hmmm, seems like we are going off topic here. You do make some valid points and I have not been very clear as to what I mean. In terms of plot, it does have the journey of Edward and Bella to being together. However, that is about it. The rest feels like a pile of sudden convenient...

Anything by Michael Moorcock but I particularly enjoyed Dancers At The End Of Time, the Elric books and The History of the Runestaff. Fritz Leiber and his Fafhrd series is awesome too, despite one of the main characters being called FAFHRD. From recent authors, anything by Neil Gaiman. Lies...

Thanks for the welcome! I hope so too! :)

Hello! I'm Sadie, a Creative Writing student from London. I write mainly sci-fi and fantasy and am looking for feedback and support from fellow fantasy lovers. Also it's always awesome to see what other people come up with! I was hoping to get some feedback on the book idea pitches that I...

I find myself in the same predicament and I would say, definitely English. It's the language to write in if you're hoping to make some money as a writer. Also you're automatically reaching out to a much wider audience. It is difficult to master a foreign language so thoroughly that you are able...
