    Gaining Power By Tea

    This sounds really interesting to me! It gives you a chance to explore a culture built up around tea and tea ceremonies, and it reminds me a little of Brandon Sanderson's magic system in his Mistborn novels. In those, it was metals that gave certain people powers. I think you'd have to decide...

    Tome of Ideas

    I already backed this, and it looks amazing! I hope you guys will back it as well.

    Convention Watch

    Does anyone know of any good writing conventions in Portland, Oregon?

    What Do You When...

    If I was really in love with the story, I would try writing it anyways, just changing it up a little. If I'd barely started thinking of the idea, I would move onto something else.

    Black Dragon Speaks!

    I've listened to half of it, and I've really enjoyed it so far. The book your writing sounds like something I want on my shelf.

    Binding Life Forces

    They should definitely die. They're practically a part of her.

    Smallworld - Boardgame

    This game looks like so much fun! I'd buy it, but I'm not sure any of my friends would be able to sit through learning the rules and playing the whole game.

    Using Scrivener to keep track of things.

    I got Scrivener a few months ago, and I've been using it to write novels. Some of my notes I keep in the folders, but since I have more than one story set in some of my worlds, notes I write for one novel might be useful with another. I haven't done it yet, but I'm thinking about making a...

    Craft Questions #3: Plot

    1. What kind of plots intrigue you and make you invested in a story your reading? The kind of plots that keep me reading are mystery plots. They don't have to be mystery novels, but a plot that has some unanswered questions will keep me reading until I know the answer. This doesn't mean the...

    Critique Circle is a site like Critters. You can gain credits by critiquing other people's work, and once you have enough credits you can submit your own work. Each story or novel chapter you submit costs three credits. Your stories will recieve at least four critiques usually, if not more, but...

    Legend of Korra, anyone?

    I've watched the first two episodes, and I enjoyed them. I agree that it is far more mature than Avatar was. The only think that perplexes me is how quickly technology advanced when Zuko and Aang ruled the world.

    Vampires, werewolves and...

    The dolphin idea reminds me of selkies. You might want to look into that. It might give you some inspiration.

    The Darkening Dream

    Has anyone read The Darkening Dream by Andy Gavin? It's a really interesting book that fuses Egyptology with vampires and warlocks, and Gavin fuses all these fantastical elements superbly. I just finished it today, and I loved it. You guys should really check it out if you haven't already. And...

    Crazy Werewolf Hierarchy

    What I could do is add in the titles of duke and duchess. These would be exceptional wolves that would become part of the nobility. Maybe the unnamed would have names for themselves, but the noble wolves would only call them unnamed and know them by scent.

    Crazy Werewolf Hierarchy

    I really want to know if you guys think this is a good idea, an idea that just needs some fixing, or just plain crazy. In my current novel, werewolves are actually wolves who have gained the power to become human, usually through divine intervention, but they can also gain enough intelligence...
