    Camp NaNoWriMo July 2015

    Decided yesterday I was gonna do this. Don't know which project. But I'm gonna do it.

    Tell me about your project

    I have to say, I always love the sound of everything I hear about your work, Gryphos. You have one definite reader whenever you're finished. And cupiscent, your book sounds right up my alley as well, bloody fantastic. Since the end of NaNoWriMo last year I've been escaping into fanfiction for...

    Dragon Age series

    I still feel really awful Would anyone here consider themselves a real Dragon Age enthusiast who likes delving into the lore of the world? I am monstrously intimidated, and I hate that feeling, but even after reading plenty, I'm still struggling to feel like I have more than a basic grasp on it...

    Dragon Age series

    In the end I bloody loved DA2. I can see why some people might be disappointed after Origins, but I loved the characters, the conflicts and the build up of Hawke the refugee to Hawke the Champion of Kirkwall, and I got to romance a character I actually cared about. I'm very happy I played it...

    Dragon Age series

    Thanks for the answers, guys. I tried to play through more of Origins, if only because I didn't want it to be anything like Mass Effect where the second and third games would have been abysmal if I hadn't imported a save, but then I realised I really don't care about the outcome of Ferelden or...

    Dragon Age series

    Question. I've been desperate to play Inquisition for months, but since I got it for the holidays, it's sitting on my desk unloved and unopened because I never finished DA:O and I haven't even touched DA2. Is it 100% necessary, would you say, to play the previous games? I did try to pick up DA:O...

    What do you listen to?

    No recommendations (at the moment) but I like both of these, games and soundtracks! I dig your taste. http://youtu.be/9K5UGmodCro Been listening to this a lot lately, the creepy tone has really been working for my NaNoWriMo novel.

    Africa, uncolonized

    This is a really cool map. Thanks for sharing this, Steerpike, or I might never have seen it. I would really love to see this done with the Americas, as I've recently been very interested in what the world would look like without European colonisation, particularly after doing some research...

    Nano November 2014 official thread

    I'm so close to meeting that little dot on the graph for the first time, but I have cheated a fair bit to get there. I think I'll at least write all new material to finally hit the target today, though.

    Flash Forwards as a Hook

    Red Seas did do this! It definitely worked as a hook, even though the moment itself was pretty anti-climactic when we arrived at it in the story, but I think it only worked as a hook because we were already familiar with the characters. I don't think it would work as the opening of a standalone...

    A(nother wild?) Aussie appears

    Nano November 2014 official thread

    Okay, that sounds totally amazing. Westerns, were-people and trains are three of my favourite things! I do so hope you manage to get some words down, I'd love to see where it goes. I am very behind, 3863, thanks to three days of agonising purely over which story to pursue. The choice I started...

    Nano November 2014 official thread

    Doing it! Torn between three ideas, but I think I've picked one. At least I have backups if I hit day 3 and realise I don't know where the hell I'm going and I just can't take the stupid idea anymore. I'm Erdboden on the NaNo site.

    [insert overly enthusiastic greeting here]

    Hello and welcome, Jake! I was going to ask if it was the band, too (I love them), but the bird is just as awesome. Their symbolism is pretty crucial to my WIP, so I am definitely a fan of your username. I hope you have a great time here and find lots of useful information and camaraderie.
