Arlesienne Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Excellent news, my congratulations! What genre has LadyD picked, I wonder? Now a little bit of friendly advice stemming from working in letters: you may want to avoid this "your very own minor character" reward. First, you can't tell where the plot will take you. Thy may simply not fit. Secondly, people tend to assume they will get their own superheroes bordering on pure Sueism - and when their expectations are not fulfilled, bad blood happens. Designing an OC for another is a safer bet since they ultimately have to take responsibility for the creation. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its got magic, witches, vampires, werewolves and all sorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly does not destroy or even insult Reason; and it does not either blunt the appetite for, nor obscure the perception of, scientific verity. On the contrary. The keener and the clearer is the reason, the better fantasy will it make (...). If men really could not distinguish between frogs and men, fairy-stories about frog-kings would not have arisen.

I change rewards to - get to vote on a pet's name in the book I love Fantasy, I love the realm of imagination and all the 'what if' thoughts that I get to explore.

There's no critic as harsh as the author themselves, believe. Been there, done that. You won't see feedback until you put your stuff somewhere. Smashwords is a platform distributing to various retailers, Amazon, most notably, but for first steps, DA and AO3 seem appropriate. Be sure to drop links here so I can review them :). ...HYPE INTENSIFIES!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
