I personally didn't like the book "Ginger" though I like dogs and it had an award. _~_

Some fan fiction makes my eyes bawl just reading the description and seeing the grammar errors.
Most of the good fan fiction is incomplete, really short, or both.

'Rivers' it's about a blind sled dog. I read it when I was younger.

So.
Many.
Grammar.
Errors.
I couldn't even....ugh...my eyes.
Now, if you're RPing online it's one thing, if you're publishing a book it's another. Come on, use Spellcheck!

I'm always really amazed to see a lot of grammar errors in a book. I'm like "what publisher did this go through??" I just have that feeling of, wow I could write a better book!

Thank you for answering! ... I love to RP, because for mine they are mostly dialogue- less details.

Guys! I need help, I was writing out ideas for books today in my notebook during Language arts because I left my book at home..
But I really want to do a short story about a human and horse, but, it seems like the plots are sorta played out. I mean, a kid finds a wild horse, they bond, then what? it ends with the kid letting the horse be free? All movies are sorta around the same plot that involve a cowgirl(usually) and a horse.
So, any one have any funky ideas or something to make mine, different?

Worst book?
Ugh, tree house kids stuff, I would rather touch a dictionary to read! Anyway one that I read was,

'Baro the wolf dog.' It was a good book, but I never finished it because school ended and I had to return it. But it was just... weird. I mean, he get's lost, then, he gets spotted by humans and called a special dog?... e-e what? I never finished it, but it was the first book I checked out next year, yea... I couldn't get past page 2 with the jumble.

Or a book I seen, it was about a purple alien boy in school trying to kiss girls.. What!?!? I walked past it, every time.

Agreed. Thank you.

I agree here as well. I love having a partner to throw me challenges, and roleplaying romance can be more fun with someone else, because your character may experience more heartbreak, twists and turns, etc.

UwU I agree with you both!
The comments that "RP Blik" gave me were the sweetest things I've ever heard and he was so gosh darn romantic. >^<

Hmmm... How about the main character is a riding protege, they go to a horse show and a storm blows them off the road, they get lost and near the end the horse dies.

"No more dead dog books." A horse one now? Sounds like a really twister! Thanks for the suggestion Rijo!

Hmm, horse+human...

The human character gets the horse, and instead of becoming best friends, they become worst enemies. When the human puts them up for races and things, the horse refuses to run or compete.

Just an idea XD
