HOpy 3rd WDC Anniversary 🎈
*Party* Happy Writing.Com account anniversary. *Party*

Heyo! I'm Rosewoodl
          You may have seen me about the place before. I've been gone a good bit, I had to take a break for school but I'm back now. I've got a completely new story idea *Party*. Without further ado, lets dive in.

         There are Fliers (people with wings), Shadowgasts (basically monsters, based on hollowgasts from Miss Peregrine's Orphanage), Animalia (Humans with Animal body traits and characteristics), Saaixr (sorcerers with a cool name) and humans. Fliers have talents, or powers like telekinesis, Wind manipulation, Pyrokinesis, etc. Shadowgasts are very stealthy and strong. Animalia inherit the capabilities of the animal they portray, Ex. a wolf animalia would withstand unusually cold temperatures and a cat would jump really high.
         The setting is a very large floating island above an ocean, off the coast of the mainland. The plot is a Flier escapes some flierhunts on the mainland. She makes it to the Island (I need a name for it, so if anyone has any ideas, please share the love *BigSmile*), but realizes the Island is every bit of crap that the mainland was and decides she wants to do something about it. Along the journey (I haven't completely planned out yet), she meets a large cast of characters, some who help her overthrow the evil queen who has hypno powers. I have multiple bosses planned out but I'm not particularly sure how to write a good fight scene, so tips would be appreciated.

         I've been world-building for about 3 months now so I have a good bit to work with. The twist on this story is this; I want it to be written like it was a dnd campaign played out in story form. Does anyone have any tips for writing fantasy? Or a decent plot? A link to the Padlet I've been building on is below. TW: padlet mentions su!cide.

Okay, for utilising world building and for making it fit into a world and for making it make sense, there is one place I have been sending writers I've been mentoring for the past couple of years - a YouTube channel:
https://www.youtube.com/c/HelloFutureMe

For writing fight scenes, it depends on what you want. Medieval weapons, I'd recommend find a local LARP group and watch them and the way they go about things. Tell them you're a writer and lift the weapons and see how bulky and cumbersome they actually are. For hand-to-hand combat, I've been doing workshops on this for over a decade, and the best thing I've found is describe a professional wrestling match (or combine a couple). You will find any number of combatants you need, but the actions are simple, easy to describe (for the most part), and are not a blur of motion like traditional martial arts. You do have to know what you are looking for, and so finding a fan (especially of old school pro wrestling) can also help.

Sorry, I've waffled on.

Good luck going forward.
Welcome back and good luck!
Happy Birthday
Happy 1st WDC anniversary!

Hey ya'll! I went through all the reviews for this piece, and I've made some revisions. Originally, it was copy+pasted from my friend's google doc she had for this story. Now, it should be easier to read and should flow better. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated! Thanks! ~Amelia

I think you might need to work with the meter a bit, but I really like a lot of what you have going here. Do note that in Version 1, you have "fils with lead" instead of "fills" in that last line. *Wink*

So, I really like the 2nd stanza from both. What are the parameters? Can you add the 2nd stanza from Version 2 under the 2nd stanza from Version 1 and make Version 1 4 stanzas? Or is that not allowed per the homework rules?

Well done. You have some very nice lines in there!

hey! i was on RAOK, looking for an upgrade, but i noticed something. what does it mean "8 visible items in their ports" ? i want an upgrade, but i dont have a card to use to pay, i only have cash, and not much of it at that. could someone explain it to me? thx in advance!

You can probably pay with a Visa gift card--use the cash to buy yourself a gift card.

For RAOK, one thing I think is unofficially true (just my opinion, so maybe not) is that you need to be pretty active on the site. I think you have a better chance if you are interacting with folks, entering contests, engaging in other activities, etc.

As for 8 visible items, when you create an item in your port (portfolio), you can make them visible or invisible. The default is visible, so all of your items are probably visible. But you can make them invisible if maybe you are creating something you don't want anyone to see until it's ready or you are writing about a personal experience and you don't want to share or you have an activity and you don't have time to run it right now and don't want folks trying to enter it so you hide it (make it invisible) so no one sees it.

Basically, do you have 8 things you've written that we can see? I only counted 5 so you need to write another couple of items--poems, short stories, whatever. Maybe enter 3 more contests? Browse the web for inspiration. Play with the WdC Writing Prompts (on the left under Writing.Com Tools is Writing Prompts).

GOOD LUCK! *Shamrock*
As a new member, you have been here at least one month, so if you have 8 items in your port, then you can request RAOK help. After 6 months, you need to have 10 reviews in 3 months to qualify for RAOK. Keep active and have fun. Add an item and try again. RAOK does like to assist where they can to those who need it. *Smile*
