{ ＩＮＫＬＩＮＧＳ v.4 } A Thread For Writers

[equine.]

No of course I don't mind ^^

I generally prefer to write fantasy and romance. I find that writing about fantasy gives me a break from the real world and I can relax and enjoy myself in my own little world, without the stress and frustration of the problems of the real world. I also find that by writing romance, I can fully devote myself to love and happiness and freedom. Just by writing the happy parts of a romance novel, I find myself wrapped up in happiness. And sometimes I just smile to myself while writing those parts, practically wishing I was that girl in my story XD

I generally tend to write fantasy type stories. It's always what I read in regards to books and my mind is constantly in a fantasy type world. Although, lately I've been trying to write more in the mystery genre just to try something new and I'm actually kind of liking it.

What genre do you find yourself more inclined to write? I am just curious
about what other people like to write, so I thought I would do this for fun.

Do you mind?

Does grimdark count as a genre?

Lol, seriously, though. High fantasy is ridiculously fun, and it's what I almost always write.

I used to write so much fantasy and sci-fi. But the past year or so I've really been drawn to write realistic fiction surrounding high school and college.

@everyone- Thanks so much for all the feedback! I really like the idea of a twist, especially ones with the dog. I think instead of the dog being an actual evil creature, I might have it possessed by a creature or something else that wants Sam stuck in FAE for some nefarious reason.

I did some more thinking about Kit and Natalyia He and Natalyia met when he was in his early teens, and she kept visiting him as he grew up (he's around 17). Natalyia eventually discovers that Kit comes from an abusive home and one day brings him to FAE to 'cheer him up.' While they're there, she tricks him into eating a faerie apple or something so he can't leave and can't be hurt anymore. He's upset with her at first, but eventually forgives her.

Years later, he stumbles across Sam, who's lost in FAE and able to leave. He's immediately reminded of himself before he met Natalyia and wants to help her get back to her world. Natalyia is unsure about Sam, because she can sense a malicious air around her (hint hint the possessed dog) and doesn't trust her around Kit (who she's really protective of). They're on a pretty strict time limit to get Sam home because Sam only has like two granola bars and a half-full bottle of water and Kit only has a packet of nuts and a few old water bottles from when he first came to FAE. Natalyia begins to suspect the dog and Kit believes her, but isn't willing to act on anything without proof.

Sorry about that, I needed somewhere to spit out ideas c:

I'm best at and enjoy writing fantasy most - mostly medieval fantasy.

It's easier for me to write because there's less confinements and I'm pretty much free to develop the world however I like. Plus magic and dragons are really cool.

@Arche
Your idea of Sam and the possessed dog wonderful! I just read through everything you've got and what people commented, and just, wow! I lately am not a big fantasy person, but I am over here dying to read it!

I seem to be really drawn to more animal stories than anything (Redwall and the like) fantasy things, it just leave me so much freedom.

I usually write fiction, more specifically animal fiction, realistic fiction, and science fiction. I don't believe I've ever tried writing anything else.

@Arche:

I like the first idea as well, but I would suggest changing the name of the place, as the Leven Thumps books are about a land called Foo, and that would likely be too similar in terms of copyright and stuff. Other than that, I love the idea c:

What's Na-something something (I can't remember what it was called, xD) What's the contest about?

I see that a lot of you enjoy writing fantasy. I must say that I am the opposite. I used to write animal stories when I was a child, and I actually had my own little animal world that I went to whenever I picked up a book.

Have any of you tried to write a story based off of your own lives? Or at least a part of it? You can make a story more interesting if you add a twist of something you heard on the news or maybe a small piece of information you found on the internet. All of that might be old news to you otherwise.

I focus on poetry more than anything. I might have a few old poems I can share with you, but finding them might be somewhat of a challenge.

I apologize if this is hard to understand; I am typing on my phone, so autocorrect may have butchered it.
