Hey, everyone, I'd like to show you my project and ask for your opinion. I run a website called Saamborn | A Fantasy Web Novel on which I am creating a novel and a world in which the novel takes place. I imagined the website to be sort of a collaborative effort - anyone can participate in...

I have to say, 10 days of using this site, and I have no doubts that this is the best thing that happened to me on the internet, as far as my writing is concerned. Go Mythic Scribes! :)

I think that is because you haven't read the books. They actually softened the sex scenes up in the show :)

I'm not the biggest fan of the series (and I love the books), but I think that Sean Bean is a great Eddard Stark. He has this irritating seriousness that is necessary if you want to be Eddard.

In my opinion, the less real a fantasy world is, the better. Of course, the less real without compromising the story, and doing crazy stuff just for the sake of it. As a good example I will mention something that is not a book, but still is a good example - The Elder Scrolls game series. To me...

Oh, I somehow missed that part of Devor's post, otherwise I would just 100% agree with him and spare myself trying to explain what I had on my mind :) As for your new plan - I think that's it. Show some positive results of the past suffering, and the ending will have cathartic feel to it while...

I've never had problems with reading too much dialogue - if you make it easy to read, it doesn't matter how long it is. However, what concerns me is this vast knowledge of the incident that your eyewitness possesses. It doesn't seem realistic to me - eyewitnesses not involved in the action...

You could maybe try writing the ending as you initially conceived it, but giving the remaining characters (I somehow suppose that there will be dead people and alive people in the end) some positive, optimistic closure. Something along the lines of - dead is dead, tragedy is tragedy, but we have...

If it is not a leather bound book with the gold-embossed title I don't like it. They hardly ever make those anymore, which is why I am forced to ignore the book cover and judge the book by what's inside instead :)

The way I do it is through recycling. After about 20 attempts to devise the ultimate great plot for my novel, I gave up. As you say, this feeling of half-heartedness can be overwhelming and it is what eventually makes you give up. My personal approach to this problem is: I never abandon an...

Ok, so, first of all, SPOILERS ahead. I get an optional quest from Dark Brotherhood to kill a certain woman in Windhelm. I go there, break into her house and kill her while her parents are sleeping. After I am done, I am walking the streets of Windhelm and come upon a murder scene. I talk to a...

Imperial Marcus Magnus, wrongfully accused and brought to Skyrim to be executed. Feels betrayed by his own people and hates empire from the bottom of his heart. This hatred blackened his soul, so he started his new life among criminals and murderers thinking: "if already I was about to be...

Hey guys, My name is Marko and I hail from Serbia. I chanced upon this forum yesterday and it seemed to me like a cool spot to share my passion for all things fantasy. I consider myself a writer, published a couple of "literary fiction" stories so far, but, as most of you around here, I...
