    Scrivener Software: to use or not?

    I'm using it for NaNoWriMo (they have a special trial version for NaNoWriMo), and I love it. It's got lots of depth - tagging, note cards, etc. It's also just a brilliant little writing program those that just want to write without the organization. FWIW, I use it between a MacBook Pro and a...

    What would be a synergistic "magic" to go with "Illusions"?

    Some seriously great responses in here. Thanks going out to everyone!

    Republic of Thieves

    The Lies of Locke Lamora. It's just ridiculously good. That's about the best way I can sum it up.

    What would be a synergistic "magic" to go with "Illusions"?

    I like this, but I'm trying to envision this wihtout having to really delve into it in a chapter. I think this concept has a ton to work with, though.

    What would be a synergistic "magic" to go with "Illusions"?

    Now this....this is pretty good. I like it.

    Ask me about archery, longbows especially.

    This seems relevant to this discussion. Saw it on Reddit today. http://www.irasabs.com/?p=15799

    Guild Wars 2

    No need - I bought the collector's edition when it came out. I can come back whenever, just wondering how much they've expanded things since the events right after Xmas this past year. I had basically found the dyes I wanted, leveled my armorsmithing and weaponsmithing to max levels, hit the...

    Guild Wars 2

    I played this in Beta and then a ton once it finally went live. Got to level cap (can't remember if it was 60 or 80?) and then stopped playing after the event where the big airship was going from city to city. Is it worth coming back? I just got back into playing Rift again, and I wouldn't...

    Republic of Thieves

    Anyone else finished? What did you think? Personally, I thought it was the weakest of the 3, but Lynch is just a master of dialogue and storytelling. And...Sabetha. Loved her.

    What would be a synergistic "magic" to go with "Illusions"?

    Here's the setup for this question: In my post-Apocalypse world where magic is now present on Earth (and Angels and Daemons are now stranded there after the destruction of Heaven\Hell planes...blah blah blah), I'm setting up the obstacles for my Daemon\Human duo and I'm trying to put together a...

    18. Jim Butcher Discussion

    I'm a HUGE fan of the Dresden Files and Butcher as a writer. I think the Dresden Files belong up there with the Gentleman Bastards series, Sanderson's stuff, and the Kingkiller Chronicles. I liked the Codex Alera a lot, even before I heard the origin of the series and how Butcher came up with...

    Random Title Generator....

    Been playing with it some today, looking for some inspiration. A few that struck me: "The Grisly Poisoned God" (This one is solid. Really solid.) "Frankenstein's Asylum" (Seems like some good theming here.) "The Gentleman Moon" (I like it. Not sure why.) "Journey in Wayward Sorcery" (Humor...

    Random Title Generator....

    Don't know if this particular one has ever made it over here, but I saw it on Reddit a few days ago. Random Story Title Generator It's been fun running through them and thinking of stories to match.

    Limyaael's Fantasy Rants

    Just found her rants today, actually. I didn't know going in that they were aimed at FanFic, though, but it was pretty easy to discern after I read the first few. I didn't even realize FanFic was big enough to have someone dedicate that many rants!
