    The grisly truth

    Thank-you to all. I did include the dilution, considering the rain. However, the seeping rather than spurting and such didn't occur to me... I've been re-thinking the scene a little; incorporating new elements... I thought I might have him rip out his own heart, so that he might give her...

    The grisly truth

    I post on here semi-often, and normally said posts are rather trivial and/or relatively...eh... Conservative? lol However, this time I need some information on something a tad more brutal. Okay, so, here's a little background so you can better understand my reason for seeking your insight: My...

    The Fleur-de-lis?

    Okay. Soooo..... I'm seriously considering incorporating the fleur-de-lis symbol into my book. Consequently, I thought it might perhaps be interesting to have some of my characters be descendants of some of the European bloodlines who were associated with the symbol. :cool: Anyway, back to the...

    Formation of a Substance and Manipulation

    Well.... I've been writing this story since I was ten years old. I am now twenty-three. (Wow, that sounds even worse than I thought it would.) I've finished four different versions, and written countless more besides without completion. I have never published because I've never been happy with...

    Formation of a Substance and Manipulation

    I'm very new to this site. I found it the other day when I was looking for a forum where I could ask questions about a name for a substance in my story. A certain [awesome] member gave me some advice, which led me to the name Prometheum, and perhaps even a derivative substance, Prometheocite. I...

    Name for a substance

    Oh. Just one more thing... How do I upload a profile picture? :-S I'm having a very hard time with this... >.<

    Name for a substance

    I've been writing this same story for quite some time now. I'm very bad about over-editing, so I never seem to get anywhere. That aside, I need a good name for the substance that is the central source of conflict in said story. Simply put, it is pure energy. Life, magic, etc. It's everything...
