There are many types of Geofiction. You can create enormous worlds, you can create tiny worlds, everything is possible! If you don't enjoy reading such books, you enjoy creating, rather than exploring already existing worlds. Create one yourself, then compare it to the others. :)

I'm not sure but I think it's a good metaphor. You can picture the bigger heads of the trees with a set of words that actually describe the characters. Looked like a good idea in the first place :). Anyway, thank you. Both of you.

Two tall dark figures were walking through the forests of Zelenor. The trees, just like those figures, were thin and square-shouldered, sticking up, and throwing dark shadows. The moon, right above them, was hidden in a blanket of pure gray clouds. There were a few spots in the sky, where...

Thanks a lot! ctg, is that a rule or it just looks better?

I'd like to thank chrispenycate once again. Now, here is the rest of the story (not edited). I've tried to use as much things I don't know as possible, so it probably has as many mistakes as the previous part. The silence became deeper than ever. “You can't kill me,” continued Peter...

Thank you! I'm going to work on those things. (I hope I didn't have mistakes in the sentence above :) (or this one) )

This is my first work (in English) ever. Actually, I've written many stuff but not in English and I'm trying to improve my language skills as much as possible, so please could you concentrate on my grammar, punctuation, and spelling mistakes. If there are serious problems in my style, please...

OK, thanks a lot (the three of you). Now, I have an off-topic question, might be a little stupid. Is there a problem that I'm not from the UK? Will publishers "avoid" me or what? I'm sorry for asking that, but I really need to know. Is it a problem that I don't even have a citizenship?

UK, fantasy, everyone. 50 000. Is that so bad? It's impossible to make it longer.

So, my 50 000-words story doesn't have a chance to be published?

Well, Harry Potter has less than 80000 words :). Are you sure that this 140000 policy is 100% true.

Is it a long novel (more than 300 pages), or a short one (100 pages) ? If I go to a publisher and ask him if he would publish my stuff, do I have a better chance with the short one?

I get mad when I loose only a single page of my work and I seriously can't imagine what's going on in your head right now. If I were you, I would do something completely new. You know, just think of it as a sign from somewhere that you should do something else. Buy a new computer and backup...

Johnny Depp, Matt Stone and Tray Parker, Adam Sandler - those guys are my favorites. The last movie I saw - Saving Silverman.

:) Thank you. So, the dashes are used to make the dialogue realistic? They illustrate the uncertainty of the characters and that's all? Sorry but all those phrasal verbs in you previous post confused me and I couldn't get it quite well. Edited: Thanks Chopper, I get it now!

Hello, I'm not sure if that's the right section but what exactly is the difference between "..." and "--" ? I'm sorry for that question but It's all new for me. I now try to read as much books in English as possible and I couldn't help noticing that. I have no idea why both of them are used in...

You're out of ideas and you need a hand or something? All right then... How about this: (this is a plot idea I've been thinking about but I'll never turn to reality). It's about a prophet, an old one, who sees a terrifying event coming. Unfortunately, he dies just a few days after that and...

Neil Gaiman is awesome. I remember buying his Stardust and spending a whole day reading it. I couldn't even go to eat something. Amazing! Don't like his hairstyle, though :) .

A bulgarian teenage girl wrote a book for the Middle Earth and the local fans killed her. :D Oh, come on, guys it's like adding new chapters to The Bible. Tolkien's story is amazing and should stay the way it is now. With every sentence you're adding to that amazing world, you're destroying the...

The global problems are way too much than the humanity can handle. We're about to enter the darkest period of all time! Yet, there's nothing we can do about it, so sit back, relax and enjoy :eek:. About the evolution: we're cursed to stand in one road. Two steps forward and we die, so we do...
