Well, I try to really get into the mood for my stories, so when i'm writing a fan fiction for a show that brings monarchies, armies, kingdoms and conquests to mind, i try to keep in that mood by watching shows and movies that relate to all of those things too. The problem is, when i'm using a...

Here's the deal; these are the issues that have been haunting me in terms of writing the most 1. When i want to spend some time on a specific story, but occasions that are just around corner plead me to work on stories that relate to them more: Let me put it this way; with the month of...

Simply put, how do you write a form of government in your stories when you've come to have doubts about it? For example, a fanfic story i'm trying to make good has a major country be an absolute Monarchy, but, no matter who i ask, people keep saying that monarchies have to either be...

I'll cut right to the chase; I'm not sure if i'll ever be able to write stories with the following themes as a part of them: 1. Coming-of-Age The theme intrigues me, i'll admit that, but, since the main aspect of this is "growing up", i don't think i can write anything around it. You...

Near as i can tell, the only people i told about this whole revenge scheme were my high school teachers, since the people in question were bullies that teased me and mocked me. If i remember correctly, they seemed okay with the notion and my English teacher even thought it was a good method of...

Here's the deal, when i first started writing my fantasy novel, i was just trying to come up with a main character, a supporting cast of family and friends, a villain, her henchmen and other random threatening obstacles. Now, i want to have certain characters represent certain aspects of me and...

I think this issue of mine may stem from somewhat failed attempts at being serious in the past When i tried to recite Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven" to my English class, my attempts to capture the dread and scary mood of the story resulted in some of my classmates chuckling. During that very...

I've had doubts about my plots, mainly because i fear that they may come off as a bit run together. From what i've heard about Rick Riordan and J.K. Rowling's work, they obviously knew exactly where their stories were going and in the end; it all added up and didn't feel forced or phoned in

I'll be blunt and come right down to the point; what do you do when you're visualizing a story and your mind keeps putting in jokes and humor in places where you don't want them to be? Like when you end up imagining a joke being put into scene that you wanted to be taken seriously.

To put it simply, is it possible to use an idea in a fanfiction story and use it in a novel? It feels kind of wrong to me

Let me try to explain this with examples: Whenever Halloween or St. Patrick's Day are just right around the corner, i really want to write more in my Fantasy novel, since it has supernatural creatures, leprechauns and magic in it; both of which are well-known parts of the two aforementioned...

Like the title says, i just can't imagine the right voices I have a female character and i just can't give her the right voice. I don't want to give her a well known female voice from my memory because i want to try something different, but then i end up giving her a male voice instead...

Okay, how about this: i do the whole back-and-forth story line, only the secondary plot will have a misleading story line; I make it seem like the antagonist was after one thing, but after that plan is thwarted, they'll hint that they had another plan in mind all along. Meanwhile, the "journey"...

This has concerned a few times in the past; how does fan fiction compare to regular original stories? For a while now, I've been under the impression that writing a fan fiction story doesn't really compare to actually writing an original novel. That's why whenever I'm watching a movie, TV...

When i was writing a fantasy story, i decided to make it one among a planned book series, one that would be called "Tales of Magic and Myth". However, now, I'm having a strange new idea on how to handle it. Originally, my story was gonna have a back and forth type of narrative: some chapters...
