Characters with speech or vocal troubles can be quite interesting.
I have one in my very first Fantasy trilogy. This story was written such a long time ago that I don’t even remember her name anymore, but she was a Mage and one of the two sisters of the Mage Queen that ruled a distant land...
Sure.
If the causes behind her mutism are not really explained in canon, then I think that the easiest way to explain it in fanfiction would be the psychological cause. Severe trauma you know, something dark and terrible somewhere in her past.
Serious vocal damage may result in other symptoms...
Without knowing the background of this character in detail, it’s something tricky to answer.
For example, people that are born deaf can laugh alright. They may sound a bit different to normal laughter, but there is nothing either physiological or psychological that prevents them from laughing...
Well, I had indeed hoped that the thread would not get derailed again.
Hi Josh2Write - First, I would like to say that Lowan was talking about how writing fanfiction is how many of us developed our first ideas and wrote our first stories. There are certainly a lot of inappropriate HP fanfics...
While the term smut is quite old, in our days it has a strong connection to fanfiction. It refers to stories that are barely stories at all, since they lack plot totally or almost totally and they focus on the gratuitous smut scenes.

Hello!
Welcome to Mythic Scribes. In my view, you are world building, so the World Building forum is alright. I could move the thread to Brainstorming and Planning anyway, if you prefer. Interesting concept.
Let me know if you need assistance.
Hello everyone!
We have received a report today, regarding the discussion in this thread. At the moment, I am not going to reveal the person that was reported. For now, I just want to remind everyone involved about the Mythic Scribes Forum rules.
Please, no racism, no flaming and no snide...
Hello MauEvig!
Oh please don’t worry about that. Posting a thread in the wrong forum is no biggie, and moving stuff around is just a regular procedure. I think that somebody would have to keep doing that intentionally for days, for us to warn or something, ha ha!
No, I didn’t move the thread...
Very interesting!
I do agree that many Fantasy works, including most of my own, are about very high stakes and the protagonists having to go through plenty of hardships. This kind of stories are great, yet indeed a bit tiring, so it’s acceptable that we sometimes gravitate towards happier...
