Don't worry, I didn't read the unfinished post. :P
As for the Semites, if I went according to politically correct terms, then I'd also be calling Greek (as I am from Greece) a foreign person with zero Greek DNA, who just happened to be born in Greece by his foreign parents.
Either way though...
This is getting a bit weird. :P
I saw images of Central Asians, and they do have that eye feature that Asians have. So, that means they're mixed.
As for Semites (Jews), they are a race and they do not count as white. Race isn't just about bone structure, but I mentioned it to explain a...
Alrighty folks, thank you both; although I must confess I found another person who managed to name a few ethnicities I needed.
@Viorp I said I'd prefer people with more 'dark' characteristics, and you told me Cossacks, Slavs.. :P These are blondes.
@Elemtilas, when I said white nations, I meant...
Hello! :)
I am writing a little story, where I will give a bit of input about the hero's "past lives".
The hero, in this lifetime, is Greek. So he has brown hair and dark brown eyes.
I would like to make his previous lifetimes (his previous "selves") to be of Warriors/Fighters from other...
To be honest, I chuckled with your response (the "Nasty Green Men" and "tree hugging")..
You are definitely right, but I really like the way you expressed it.
The problem is that I am taking part in a contest, and this contest requires for the story to be small; so I'll have to "forget" the...
Everyone, thank you for your responses...
I'm sorry it took so long to get back at you, but I really got inspired (I kid you not) with the ideas you gave me for the caves.
Also, clay tablets... How could I not have thought of that!
The animal hides are also a good idea (they'll need to kill...
Hello. :)
I've been writing a story about humanity being enslaved by some unknown entities, but a group of people having escaped into the jungle, and empowering/strengthening themselves, until the time comes when they will have to fight these entities and free humanity.
Now, there is this...
Oooh nice!
From what you wrote, I see the characters being developed alright (I assume you've already thought of their background stories, even childhood and such, and how some of their experiences influenced their development- you can also play the "backstory" card in future chapters and so...
Whether the reader will identify with the character, depends mostly on what kind of audience you go after.
You should first choose a target audience... Will it be teenagers? Will it be younger kids? Will it be young adults? Or older ones? This also depends on your character's age, but also their...
My suggestion would be to take a break from reading the books in present tense, and search for the ones that are written in past tense. :P
The best thing I can think of... Truth be told, I haven't had this problem myself before. I had actually tried once to write in present tense (as an...
Hello Heidi.
I actually really like some of the suggestions you received here, but I'd like to contribute as well. :P
I had recently watched this movie that dealt with telepathy (it was actually a romance genre). The movie was called In Your Eyes (you can find it on google and such). There were...
Oh my, oh my...
Well, I didn't have lots of emotions about the movie, because as a whole, action movies are not my taste.
But the enchantress DID have a reason to "destroy the world". She had said at the beginning (when she had talked to her brother) that humans are now worshiping a metal...
Ah, anime... :o
Anime got me interested in drawing and then in comics (manga or western and such) and then... fanfiction stories haha! I guess anime is what got me to start writing for the first time. Anime also inspired me to create my own worlds and characters and such.
Now, when it comes...
Wow, very very nice...
I am not aware of the Iron Druid Chronicles (hey, I'm new to this site, as well as to fantasy as a genre :P) but the drawing is really good.
I would agree with DragonOfTheAerie in regards to making the guy a bit more dynamic. Moreover, the way he's petting the dog, it...
