Cheers for the replies guys! I am making this website as a platform which I can share my writings, lore, sample chapters of my historical fiction and fantasy, and blogs on writing! I kind of want to make a name like a title first and then have the domain name after. I've started writing down...

Hi all, I have recently decided to create a website to showcase my work and to put my name out there as I'm sure many of you have! My issue is the creating of a name for the website. I understand the simple techniques for making a name such as alliteration to keep it catchy, and for it to...

Its a good idea having a Phyrric ending to your story, I haven't seen it done very often and I assume that is because it is difficult to accomplish. I think you need to put more information in the thread to get suggestions on improvement though.

I'm having trouble developing creatures that are cave dwelling and subterranean predators to provide some form of danger in the caves and abandoned mines of my World. With many high fantasy worlds such as Warhammer and Middle Earth, these creatures are often rat-men or goblins, however I am...

In a new work i'm doing i'm following a Roman Plebian (working class citizen) and would like to know if any of you fellow scribes have any suggestions on history books that outline life in the Eternal City for both rich and poor. I would be most thankful.

The Archaia are evil beings born of sorcery, they have the bodies of women but where their legs should be is the body of a great spider. They have a insatiable hunger and lurk in the deep and dark places ensnaring the unwary and overpowering the bold. They were formed when a sorceress named...

Beast Master

I have my own version of witches and wizards in my WiP but it doesn't seem to fit so i'm passing it on to you. Witches In my world witches are a sort of primal being that has control over the world about them. Their primal energy allows them to uproot trees, manipulate their growth and even...

During my work in progress I have decided to kill off all my main characters at the end of the book save two who survive an live to tell the tale, while doing so (killing off the characters) I kill nearly all the people on the continent. I think that it works well but may leave the reader on a...

I've created my world map but I keep thinking of new stuff to keep adding to it like new castles, forests and even kingdoms. I need to know when enough is enough.

I was thinking of having the same river split above the forest and run down into two separate estuaries on either side of the forest.

Also known as Ostland in the common tongue, it is the last realm of the Elves other then the Isle of Telarion. It is a densely forested realm between two rivers, the Nuineren (Nuin- River, Eren- Still) and the Nuinviel (Viel- Star). The rivers protect it from outsiders on three sides and it is...

Whenever I write a battle sequence it never seems to come out as I see it, for example, if I focus on the actual strategy of the battle I over look the human side of the battle, the death and gore etc... If I focus on the human side of the battle I forget the strategy. Whats more I always seem...

How much of the week are the characters spent together without any threat from the outside world, if it is only a few days then I would lengthen the plot line maybe 2 weeks.
