[sparrow;]

I have resurfaced from the world of No WiFi! I still don't have my laptop... but at least I can do some writing! And I've updated Minds of Clockwork! This is a good day <3

In other new, I reached 40k for Nano! I think I am not a lazy writer at the moment...

HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE????

I need advice. Can you guys tell me if this little excerpt that will be in my story should move the whole thing to 18+?

Sei peeled back his upper lip and examined his teeth, mildly surprised to discover that a canine was already beginning to emerge. In the mirror he could see Ai moving toward him, but when he went to escape he was trapped by his brother's arms. Flushing at the feel of the taller man's body against his own, Sei froze as fingers trailed up his side to tangle in his hair. A startled yelp left his mouth when his head was jerked roughly to expose his neck. His eyes widened in fear at the sight of Ai's own gaze burning molten silver while deadly fangs were bared in a sinister grin. Unable to utter a sound, Sei could only gasp as he was viciously bitten, vision dimming rapidly.

I'm just worried that as I continue, it'll take a turn for the worse and I'll get in trouble. For all I know this will become a romance. RIP me.

Wow! Congrats!!

@Kazuki - I don't know; it does seem a little dark for young-as readers? I'm not entirely certain, though; personally, (if it was mine) I would ask a mod or GH XD

There are a couple others out there, but none as detailed as this, to my awareness.

Hi guys I'm crazy-in-wonderland, call me crazy or wonderland Im currently battling with a story and I just wanted a few opinions on it if at all possible.
So far I've only got the premise for it but anyway I'll just try to explain as best as I can.

So it all begins with a girl called Katherine who starts a new life in a house with five other teenagers, Tom, michael , nile, avery and amy. At first they all get on well and go to school together. Katherine gets close to Michael and Amy becomes jealous. One day at school when Amy and Katherine are walking to the second floor Amy asks her about michael and in a fit of jealousy pushes Katherine down the stairs. Obviously then Katherine goes to hospital but doesn't remember what happened, she thinks she slipped. Amy decides to tell Katherine the truth but when Katherine goes to the house she finds out they all want her out of the house. She storms out. ( unsure of what's to come atm)
But the premise for the rest is that all the children in the house have some kind of past, most are violent, eggs Katherine witnessed her mother's murder. Turns out Katherine is connected to Toms past but he hasn't realised.turns out Katherine is mentally unstable and she goes on a violent rampage.

Not sue how to end it yet but any tips would be helpful ^^

@Equine, I just drew one on the Oekaki boards here, but Piefan's link looks really detailed.

@Crazy, welcome, and avoid carrots at all costs. As for the story, it does sound rather confusing. Imma try to make my tips less confusing than that. >^.^<
~-~-~Tip 1: try to vary how the reader learns about each of the teens' pasts. Like, one is based solely on rumors, Michael opens up and tells his to Katherine, overheard conversations, accidentally reading a diary/journal thing, straight-out telling, or some other way the MC learns about the back stories.
~-~-~Tip 2: Kinda related to 1, but try to vary the traumatic backstories and coping mechanisms. This will vary your characters and make them all equally interesting. ((In case my health class was weird, coping mechanisms are what people do to deal with stress or problems. Some smoke, others exercise, and others disappear into work or reading or just forget the experience entirely. Some completely fold in on themselves, and some get violent. There's a wide variety you can probably find looking online))
~-~-~Tip 3: Katherine moves in with 5 new teenagers, right? Did the other 5 know each other before hand, or are they all moving in at the same time? It might also help if there was a set reason why Katherine moved in with these 5 instead of going to a family members' place or something. Was she in a program of some sorts? Is this normal, or a first-time thing? How does she come off on the others/How are her first impressions? Does she make any instant judgments she revises later? How about enemies?
~-~-~Tip 4: This may be a stylistic choice, but I like to change narrators ((Mostly between one particular character and third person)) That, and don't stress about a definite storyline. Most of mine kinda come as I write them.

I hope this helped, and good luck with your story ((May want to either moderate the trauma or post it in the 18+ section. Or, ya'know, just as a mod if it's appropriate)) >^.^<
