I am not the best on grammar, so I would say focus more on the story lol

2021-01-23 20:36:08 UTC  

no biggie. i'm terrible at grammar too

2021-01-23 20:37:28 UTC  

Is this high fantasy or low fantasy?

2021-01-23 20:38:06 UTC  

wait. the general was on a horse?

that looks cluttered, and it annoys me, and I wanna fix it.

2021-01-23 20:41:21 UTC  

Yeah, thought it was mentioned

2021-01-23 20:41:31 UTC  

;-;

2021-01-23 20:41:42 UTC  

it is high fantasy\

2021-01-23 20:41:49 UTC  

as it involves magic

2021-01-23 20:41:54 UTC  

like healing magic

2021-01-23 20:47:05 UTC  

Okay, should I involve Kaylin with the healing.

2021-01-23 20:47:34 UTC  

I was gonna have her related, as in a decedent of the Angel race

2021-01-23 20:47:39 UTC  

But I don't know

2021-01-23 20:49:13 UTC  

@Evelyn S. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ I love the colors that I'm conjuring up in my head from what you've written so far. It's exciting! Also, I already love these grandparents, especially Grandma Betty. I actually smiled at her witch cackle.

It almost feels as though it should be a film or a script - in a good way. The moment where Collin trips and the resident underneath looks up in confusion is humorous and I can see it visually in my head. Some of the events are a little jumbled together, though - the barrage lasts thirty minutes yet is glazed over in one sentence. There's also a lot of flash backs happening by page 3. The answer to why the dragons are attacking is seemingly mentioned on page 5 as well - it might be good to have someone mention it organically. It's as if they know why the dragons are attacking yet refuse to do anything about it. Perhaps Collin asks his grandmother why they don't just go check on the Heart of the Mountains first before they continue lobbing expensive sounding canonballs?

2021-01-23 20:49:47 UTC  

Lots of exposition

2021-01-23 20:49:52 UTC  

that's my main concern

2021-01-23 20:50:03 UTC  

the idea is so good. If I saw this in a film, I'd be smiling a lot. It's just...fun

2021-01-23 20:52:36 UTC  

(I have to go drive my little brothers a ways, so I'll be back soon)

2021-01-23 20:57:46 UTC  

Thanks! Iโ€™m glad you like the grandparents, theyโ€™re some of my favorite characters. After I finish this story I want to write a prequel about how they met

A lot of the same things you mentioned were brought up by other people too. Iโ€™m really bad with exposition, lol.
But youโ€™re right, a lot of things are just kind of glossed over and I think it would be better if we could see their reasonings of why they donโ€™t go the Heart of the Mountains right away, I didnโ€™t even notice that
I really appreciate your critique and Iโ€™ll keep all of this in mind when I go over this section again!

(also, see ya soon!)

2021-01-23 21:01:51 UTC  

Is your story realistic fantasy or high fantasy like mine?

2021-01-23 21:03:21 UTC  

High fantasy

2021-01-23 21:03:38 UTC  

Oooooo okay

2021-01-23 21:03:41 UTC  

I like it so far

2021-01-23 21:04:15 UTC  

Thanks! I like yours too ๐Ÿ˜

2021-01-23 21:04:26 UTC  

Thanks ๐Ÿ™‚

2021-01-23 21:04:36 UTC  

Which character do you like more so far

2021-01-23 21:04:40 UTC  

Kaylin or Jackson

2021-01-23 21:06:38 UTC  

I like Kaylin

2021-01-23 21:07:12 UTC  

Sheโ€™s fun

2021-01-23 21:08:38 UTC  

She's not suppose to be talkative though

2021-01-23 21:08:47 UTC  

She's quiet from what had happened in her past

2021-01-23 21:08:55 UTC  

Like an emotional thing

2021-01-23 21:12:57 UTC  

Awwww thatโ€™s too bad

2021-01-23 21:14:45 UTC  

Iโ€™m assuming it has something to do with her burn scars

2021-01-23 21:19:11 UTC  

I've been wanting to ask this ever since I found out this channel existed. Has anyone else had their work published?

2021-01-23 21:19:50 UTC  

Yeah, but that is a spoiler :>

2021-01-23 21:19:58 UTC  

Unless you want to know

2021-01-23 21:20:11 UTC  

I have but it wasn't the current story I'm writing

2021-01-23 21:20:16 UTC  

Last one was a star wars fanfioc

2021-01-23 21:20:25 UTC  

another was a medieval story I wrote

2021-01-23 21:20:29 UTC
