    Writing Formats - ie - 1st etc

    One of the projects I am writing at the moment is writen in present time. This is because I wanted to try something new, but it also fits the story. Its about people who lost their memory so i think it also gives a better idea of what the person knows and what not. I feel it is not so difficult...

    Creating a (very) cliche world?

    Ok, I've created a start with the creation of 'new' orks, trolls and ogres and I wanted to post the result to see what you think. --- In the World of Kouluu there can be found many races and each of those races has their own place in the so-called food chain. This food chain doesn’t necessarily...

    i'm a bit confused !

    It is possible that Plato made up Atlantis. If that is true, it would be some great worldbuilding, since we still talk about it today. But I guess we'll never know.

    Creating a (very) cliche world?

    Haha. Ok srry, my fault. I meant Omnivores instead of Amnivores. So both a plant an meat eater instead of a ... I don't know what a Amnivore is, but if it is what chrispenycate said, I think it is disgusting. Something that would be found in alien sf movies. Of course it could then also be...

    Creating a (very) cliche world?

    yes I thought of that and I think I will rely more upon this sort of chain than having everyone eating the other. That would become a bit rash:P. Though I will keep a few races that are ferocious carnivoures/amnivores. After all, it only nature ;)

    Please help!

    Wow! What a great story. At first I needed to get used to your style of writing but after a few paragraphs I loved it. Though, here are a few comments: In the second paragraph Mana says she had a dream of the rampant lion last night, but later she tells Neo that see didn’t dream that night. It...

    Cliché Stories (Got the idea from the other post)

    So with fantasy it is mostly: if you have read one of them, you have read them all?:P How about Harry Potter? Can that be categorized as fantasy? It is about a poor boy who is raised by people not his parents. Discovers unigue powers and there is a prophecy about him destroying the evil lord...

    Creating a (very) cliche world?

    First of all… thanks for all the replies. Really? I didn’t know it was Tolkien who invented the Orc, since it is so often used in games and fantasy worlds. I knew that he created the Hobbit though. Ok I can see your point. That could become difficult when writing a story in this world. I...

    Creating a (very) cliche world?

    Hello everyone. I got some idea of a world and wanted to work it out. First I will give the idea of the world, named Kouluu. Kouluu is a strange world filled with funny, scary, strange and crazy creatures. Also, the laws of physics don’t always have to be the same as in our own world. Because...

    An Author's Goals

    I don't think there are many aspiring writers that only write beacuse they want fame and money. There are easier ways to get those:P. Of course there are many who dream that they are able to live a rich life by writing. I personally write because i often get ideas, visions and explosions of...

    What is the Nature of Evil?

    My bet is that people that are defined evil by others, would not define themselves evil. They might acctually think they are doing good. Look at the most evil persons in the world: Osama Bin Laden or Hitler. Osama thinks he is doing good by doing gods will and 'spreading' his word. Hitler...

    Journalism v. writing

    I have to disagree with this one. Journalists and writers are both of the same kind but only have diffrent goals and use diffrent ways to reach it. There are also many journalists that start write a book and then write a very good book too. That wouldn't be possible if they where 'different...

    hiding and social stigma

    How about something like a cape and something covering the nose and mouth so that only the eyes can be seen. But maybe you still think that the face is too much hiden. He can also hide in shadow or try to stay on the roofs of buildings or something, so he moves through places where people have a...

    Using Excisting Names

    Thank you guys, you helpt me very much. I don't precisly know why I thought I could use excisting names, I think it was because if you create a fantasy world or race or place, how could the name be familiar to something on earth or something. But thanks you all

    Using Excisting Names

    Heya all, I, like many of you here I saw, are having a bit of trouble with names. It is not that I can't come up with them, but when I have one and I check it on the net, I find that is a common name or word (or at least it looks like it). For character names this isn't really a problem...
