@FF2
Or you could do something like a Psycho Mantis with GLaDOS and have her just SMASH THE FOURTH WALL INTO PIECES. But, that's just me :3

@all
Aw, thanks! I'm a little obsessed with the second idea myself, soo...

@FF2
I really like that idea! Maybe GLaDOS can use that to her advantage somehow?? Like, she knows how people from outside the game world work, that they might as well be programmed themselves?

@Lucky
I like the ideas, especially the LOZ one, though the second one is cool too :3

@Drago
I really love your story! I rarely ever mess up tenses, so I can't related to you or Lucky :')

@FF2
It seems slightly overused, yes, but don't worry! There's plenty of chances to put in other plot twists, like adding in another person from the outside that shouldn't be there either, maybe? That plot twist is pretty cool too, though.

@Mal
Accepted! Welcome to the club!

@Everyone
Sorry for being gone for a while, I was buildng a circuit and connecting it to my robot. Here's a bit of the story me and Keira are writing, I'd love any feedback on it, and every piece of feedbac will be sent to the story's co-author!
Show hidden content
The wind howls in my ears, snow fluttering about in a blinding flurry. I can make out Keir beside me, wearing nothing but his normal dark jeans and black hoodie. He must be freezing, but he doesn't show it as he fingers his favorite knife, the light reflecting off of it making his dark red eyes gleam with inner fire.
I faintly wonder if I'd be able to get Keir to try and conjure fire from my mind, but I doubt it. He hates using his power, especially out in the open like this, where there's always a possibility of being spotted.
Speaking of which, where is that stuffed bear when we need him? He was supposed to be here, to lead us to a place on the snowy peak where we could talk in private, but there's nothing but ice and rocks.
"I'm going to gut that bear next time I see him." Keir mutters to himself, picked up by my advanced hearing. I roll my eyes, but I can't help but feel the same. Just as I'm about to suggest going for a coffee and ditching this meeting, a shape appears as a fuzzy outline in the distance, moving towards us. I almost smile as I can faintly see the reddish-brown color. The stuffed bear. Finally.

@Reckless
Sounds good! There's only one thing that might need to be changed up that I noticed.

You said that Keir doesn't like using his power in the open, but since the two characters are seemingly in the middle of nowhere in a snowstorm, I don't think that's a plausible reason for him to not use his power. How about something like, 'the flame probably wouldn't even survive in this wind, anyways.' Other than that, it sounds really interesting so far!

@Drago
Good point :0
I think it stayed like that because originally we had another character there with them, and the other lines around it got changed, but we managed to miss that one.
Thanks for the feedback, Keira's already fixing it.

@Reckless
Drago beat me to the punch on that one xD
The only thing I could think of is how could you gut a stuffed bear? I mean... It's stuffed, unless he means to rip out the stuffing. Other than that, I like it!!

@Lucky
Yeah, Keir meant ripping out the stuffing.
Though, honestly, while Keir is smart, he's definitely not when he's angry, so I kinda always write whatever threat comes to my mind first because that's usually how instinctive Keir is.
Keira also pointed that out and then I pointed out how a stuffed bear couldn't be gay and she kinda went silent.

Hi, Moon here. So I just posted a new fanfic I've been working on and would be so grateful to anyone who is willing to read it and give me some feedback on it. The name is still in progress as I can't think of one as of yet. Suggestions are welcome if you have one. I've only posted the first chapter so far and I'll post 2 and 3 either later tonight or tomorrow. Thanks to anyone who takes the time to read it. c:

The story can be found here:

Accepted! Welcome, Lysol!
Thanks for all the feedback on my collab story, Keira is very happy to get so much support, and it's really good for her since she's a budding author and needs some support (even though she's an amazing writer so far, even better than me (not that that's hard since I'm trash :'>)).
Also, I feel really happy with the newest chapter of AWNROP :3

I don't have any good story plots right now, but I wish I did, otherwise I'd help.

Although, I do have a problem and I figure I should probably ask my writer friends about it--
Do you think I'm too descriptive?
I was reading some of my writing and I find that, in parts with less action, there's a lot of description, and I'm kind of wondering if maybe I'm a little too overboard with it? Since most of you here have read pieces of my writing/whole stories, what do you think? Keira (my collab partner) says I don't, but I just want to get other opinions.

Nah. Being descriptive isn't bad. I do it alot sometimes, too. So don't worry.

Given that some of the most successful authors have the habit of being 'over descriptive', I don't really think it's possible to be over descriptive, unless you write a whole 100page book talking about how a donut looks or something along those lines.

(Ex. Tolkien)

it's General Advice Hour ft. Somebody

yeah, as long as you're not A) padding the story with descriptions that don't forward the plot, B) dragging the story down with over-exposition, or C) being repetitive with how you describe things, you're probably in the clear.

like a pretty good example of whoa too much description would be this one book where the author takes two pages to describe someone dropping a tray of tea - yes, it's strangely really important to the plot, but the author could have easily taken the subtle route instead. sometimes it's better to be spartan; it just depends on the pace and atmosphere of your story, etc.

Ahhh, thanks. I'm kinda really insecure about my writing style (especially since I do almost everything in first person and not third), and while I'm pretty darn descriptive, I'm not excessive, from what everyone has said.

Oh, and Skar is accepted! Welcome to the club!
