All the talk about Emmys in the Beginner Writer section, I'm curious who will be hosting them here? I know it's a little early to discuss these things, but hey, gotta be prepared! ;)

Any thoughts on my Doomsday idea?

Nope. Only reason I can double post now is because the wait time is over.

If this is still a problem, feel free to contact Yabs or Jomei about the issue. To be honest, I'm not sure if it can be fixed.
You mean without "you know who"?

Running into a Writer's Block for TKFA 5. I want to spend more time on character development, but with Obidiah's death and Abigail's return, I feel like there's no practical way to spend time with the characters. I really wanted to focus on the side guys (the ones not in the main cast).

Any suggestions?

So, I'm a writer in my free time off site as well, so it's very likely nobody in this section (or on site) will ever knowingly read my work, but I would like to ask two questions:

First, do any of you enjoy fantasy literature and works?

Second, how many races/sentient (defined as: intelligent AND self aware) creatures would you say is a good number to have living within a realm of your own creation? Total land area would be about the size of combined France + Germany.

Hmm...for story's sake, 3 or 4. Gives you a little diversity, ya know?

Yea, I figured around 3 would work. It's a combination of story/world building, as reads like a history book full of anecdotes.

So I've been figuring out my stories pattern and track, and just about everything is planned out. However, I'm having some trouble coming up with a beginning to the first chapter. Does anyone have any advice for that?

I say throw us right in. Give us details, yeah, but shroud a lot of stuff in mystery. How did things go wrong? What was it like on that day/night (night would be a bit more moody, I might add).

I'm starting out a story, but I'm having problems with both planning the method it's delivered (Like how the parts are divided), and where to start. I know I want to do different perspectives, I know that much, but other than that, I'm struggling to start this thing.

Any ideas, bros?

To quote Three:

Setting and plot, while not needed to answer your question, are important things to consider. I'm assuming you're talking about Wisper II, but I don't want to jump to conclusions
