Re: { INKLINGS } A Thread For Writers

Postby Polar Kitten » Mon Jan 05, 2015 9:48 am

Does the way someone posts make you want to read their work more? If it's organized, are you attracted to it- or does it make no difference?
Yes, very much. This is how I see it:
Title-
Simple and eye-catching, but not too busy. This is kinda how I can tell how mature the writer is. If it is something like ≈Story Name Here≈ would be nice, but
♪♪≈»≈Story Name HERE!!!!!≈«≈♪♪☺☺☺ is not very pleasing to the eye. I like using the little alt code pictures, but don't use too many.
This is very distracting -> ≈«≈♪♪☺☺☺

Text-
Again, simple. Normal text or text with a dull/pastel color is great, but it is hard to read in bright colors like this. (<- It is hard to read in bright colors such as that one)
This is just my personal opinion, but I think thus might help to someone who is writing a story.

Happy Summer!

RANDOM FACT #3:
Candy is good.

I was a member of the Rebel Alliance, a timelord, a tribute in the Games, a Dauntless soldier, a runner in the Maze, and a security guard at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. I'm so good at sleeping that I can do it with my eyes closed. I visited Jurassic World survived the Time War. I am unstoppable.

I just have to say, that's a beautiful beginning. You're a very thoughtful person if you made that up yourself.
I wouldn't mind reading more about it, and I rarely ever read more about things.

Please, please, please continue! You have a lot of pressure on you right now from me! :lol:
Don't ever get lazy like I do sometimes and write whatever you feel would best fill the lines.
Keep going the way you started because I'm bookmarking like right now.

About the characters? Who doesn't love a good character development?
I love developed characters. I don't believe in such things called 'overly-developed'.
Please, do more and more and more!

Do you ever get those moments
where you're writing your characters
into a painful scene and you just...

      Ahahhh, you make me blush. ; u ; Thank you so much, it means a lot! I did come up with it myself. Believe it or not, it started out as a school essay! I tweaked it lot of course, but I have so much passion about this. I tend to write better when I have such a close connection to a topic.

      I'll get chapter 1 up as soon as possible! ^ u ^
      Thanks for you input about the characters. c:

No problem, and I'm so sorry! I am just realizing how rude that may have been read.
I didn't think you were like plagiarizing or anything! >.< Ewe, my bad...
A lot of my stories begin as something different too. They can usually start off as poems or just random thoughts in my head that I need to quickly write down on a piece of paper, you know? But, thank you! I can't wait until chap. 1!

I saw a young woman dressed in a pink dress and elaborate Golden necklaces shift half into a pig and half into a shark, it was beyond bizarre. She had wavy brown hair and dark onyx eyes. She was beyond beautiful and instantly I was entranced in her beauty. But to even like looking at her was forbidden where I came from. Shape shifters were not only freaks, but creatures of Isai translation: Serpent King. Beings like her were evil and beings that lived in the Shadow land. I stared at her from where I was standing.
1. She looked so pristine surrounded by all the snow and leafless trees with Mt. Hale right behind her. It looked as if someone had painted the scene right in front of me.
"Hello, Mr. You were staring, why? Is something the matter? Have you never seen my kind before?"

She prompted to me and my jaw just dropped. I wondered briefly what she saw. Did she see her prince Charming or who I really was a lowly Servant boy to the human king and queen. Did she see my honey golden hair and hazel green eyes? Did she see my stock build, and flab instead of abs. Or did she just see a human man and nothing more. I couldn't bring myself to say anything so I just walked away. That was the last I saw of her until she showed up to audition as singer of the castle. I couldn't bring myself to tell the royals but law was law. No one should suffer a Shadow Being to live. And by walking away I had done just that. But how could I kill her when she seemed so innocent? But our Priests all preached her kind was nothing but evil as if they could never change their ways. But what if they could, what then?
