Genre Challenge: Romance
RykerDavis replied to AquilaTempestas's topic in Monthly Genre Challenge's Topics
Did anyone write a story for this? If you did please post the link. And tell us about it. Red String of Fate, a glee fanfic | FanFiction of course I had problems with the word count. So typical me. I started a story for this challenge three times before I just said .... well you know. And decided to make it chaptered. Ill try to keep the chapters to a thousand words. Red String of Fate was inspired by the Asian myth of a red cord tied between you and your soulmate (the one you are destined to marry) It can tangle, not but can never be broken. Not by time or circumstances. -
I know this is going to sound redundant... but read. And listen to the music. Often the music is easier to get the rhythm of how words work together and sound right. But reading is the real key. Find the prose /book/piece in both English and French. Read a paragraph first in the native language then in English. Do this multiple times. Look for where verbs and nouns are placed. I use Rosette Stone to learn to speak the language. I just finished Spanish and have started Mandarin. The program is excellent (as is dulingo) for speaking but not really for knowing how to place word

Sorry didn't post this on time but life sometimes gets in the way. I reviewed Smells Like team Spirit by @zadien and To Free the Mind by @Wizarmonfan (I know this one was part of the last event but it was only reviewed once) I also reviewed Booth Sixteen and Teach a Girl to fish and invited them to check out the forum.

Go ahead and choose the next MONTHLY CHALLENGE genre

I have been watching Westworld and love the combination of the sifi and wild west. And faithfully watch Firefly/Serenity.
Lets do Westerns with any subgenre. I know it will be out of everyone's comfort zone. But it could be really awesome if people gave it a chance. And open to a 5000 word count. Cause the 1000 word count killed me for the romance. I started three new fics because I couldn't keep it to the limit.

Oh western. That will be really tough (but interesting!)

Prey Overcomplicated Kill Both are one shot stories but have been suggested to expand and turn into full length novels. If you review let me know if you see that as a possibility. Or should I just let sleeping dogs lie?

Aw shut it you winged rat!!! ---- Jensen was so awesome as Dean. Perfect delivery on sometimes the corniest lines. I wonder how he managed 15 seasons of giving them with a straight face.

Go for the upgrade on the avatar as well. New wheels (I am sure your new walker will have them) upgraded motive. You are better than you were yesterday. Seriously your icon is inspirational.

1. Not a standard one where I follow it every time. It has a lot to do with when and how inspiration hits me. But when I am sitting down trying to write for an assignment I have given myself then most often I do. 2 Since I write scenes I usually write what comes to mind. Which is normally the just the dialogue or the how the setting affects the story. Then I go back and flush out the rest of it. Unless I am working on a writing technique. 3. Yes and no. I used to do both because what I wrote on paper was really the first draft of what I was doing. But often I would get lazy

That horrible feeling when you get a new idea. And your son says what if the year 2020 was just a horror fanfic. And you agree knowing there is actually a category - whump and he says 2021 is going to be an even worse sequel 2021.

The scene did what it was intended. I saw a boy riding on his grandfather's coat tails. Although I do have to ask .... As Tyson wants to be a warrior... which I would assume in the emperors army wouldn't he be more impressed with the prince? Yes he might be a little annoyed at being on his knees through a long winded introduction but wouldn't there be an excitement that over road it... at least until they interacted more? -

I finally wrote it! It's quite short, but I thought I'd test the waters so to speak.

I absolutely agree. The trilogy is a difficult and time consuming read. Its good but you really have to fight to stay reading it. I love your thought..... a love letter to the books. so true. The Mist of Avalon did it sooo wrong. I admit trying to adapt almost 900 page book into six hours is probably too daunting of a task. But come on at least try to stay true to the story and motivations of the characters. If your going to adapt a book to movie at least read the book first. I could write pages on what they did wrong. I think Eragon was that middle ground. Many of the things that
