I just wanted to get us all pooling ideas and tossing around different methods of organizing a draft (especially a first draft). I think it would...
I won't talk about what makes me good because I try as well as possible not to engage in the practice of being my own judge. Instead I'll talk...
I didn't so much read this as "put in sex scenes" as "don't avoid the subject of sex". If it comes up, don't bury it (unless of course it's a...
I had this same hurdle, though it had nothing to do with race (I only have humans) and everything to do with nationality or even regionality. I'll...
Why not make it be the parts of fantastic creatures and occult ingredients? 1. A manticore's poison. 2. A griphon's tongue. 3. A korrigan's beard...
Yeah I have to agree here. Unfortunately our society is still rather chauvinistic, it's just hidden behind a veil of the politically correct. The...
White's land, black's ocean. I do eventually plan to make the map pretty, though I'm also hoping to have one in a topographic style where I can...
[IMG] My brand new WIP map. Other than eating and working out I spent most of my day in Photoshop doing this. Close up the coasts are still VERY...

The thing is the exact way Talinos leaves the forest is going to have a large bearing on future interactions. When the king of Felesia is murdered...
I've come to a bit of impasse. The more I analyze it the more I doubt the beginning I've created. It's only the first chapter or two I'm concerned...
To add to what's been said there is no real rock-paper-scissors. The development of armour and weapons was a back and forth. All sorts of weapons...
I was perfectly willing to accept your opinions until I read this. There is no way one can look at Tolkien's work and say he dropped the ball with...
It would help to know operating system, as well as program and version, but try this: (Windows) Right-Click the shortcut you use to open the...
Depends on the moment, though it's never real licorice. Right now I'm kind of craving Smarties. (Not American Smarties, which are called Rockets...
