Anyone do any fantasy writing?

Gwaimir Windgem · 01-27-2003, 11:09 PM

Don't really know if this is right forum for this, but who here does any fantasy writing? *raises hand*

Anyone else?

FrodoFriend · 01-28-2003, 10:05 AM

I do too. I'm writing one right now, as a matter of fact. What do you write about? Original or fanfic? Mine is currently a sort of fanfic thingy. I have an idea for an original, but it's too vague right now to put together, so I'm just going to write the other thing for practice and for fun...

What sort of techniques do you like to use? Narrating style, types of characters, figurative language, etc?

Gwaimir Windgem · 01-28-2003, 10:22 AM

Well, I've done a bit of writing (I wrote like 20 pages of 1 story, and a good deal of another; that one got dumped, though); but mostly what I do at the moment is development of how I want the stories to go, and the world they are set in.

Blackboar · 01-28-2003, 10:41 AM

I write quite a bit!! Usually the usual about dragons and monsters and stuft!

Miranda · 01-29-2003, 06:31 PM

I've done a big old LOTR fanfic (lovingly known by my friends as the Precious!) and tried my hand at fantasy writing but failed. I'm starting on a piece now called Bohemian Dawn (working title of course) which is about life as a true performer and artisan. Mx

Gwaimir Windgem · 01-30-2003, 01:56 AM

Sounds interesting!

Wayfarer · 01-30-2003, 02:08 AM

Yes, I write fantasy. No, you can't see it.

Gwaimir Windgem · 01-30-2003, 01:16 PM

Anyone who's interested can follow the link in my sig to a fantasy author's forum. There you can share your work if you want, give constructive criticism, etc. In the Battlecry Association of Fantasy Authors (Kind of the forerunner of the forum), we're collaborating on a story, and setting up the world it takes place in.

Sicirus · 01-30-2003, 01:58 PM

I am writing a Harry Potter and Lotr fan fic. And My own creation called Sicirus(were I got the name) And the Full Moon Pack.
Its about a hibrid wolf who is half greyhound and he wants to find his familly. His parents were killed by the Egyptions some years ago and he was left in Egypt and taken cared of by a slave Jew. When the jews repented against the Egyption at the arrival of Mosses Sicirus who's name was Razzmadom became a stray and found a runaway prince of wolves who's only wish was to get away from the Full Moon pack and search for an adventure. Sicirus joins hIm (Core) on an adventure to find the Full Moon pack again. The story tells of their adventures in the desert.

galadriel · 01-30-2003, 02:46 PM

I write LOTR fan fiction <blush>. I don't consider it "real" writing, but it's good practice at writing long, serious, well-researched prose, and it's fun.

I used to write the occasional fantasy story, but they were all terrible and cheesy. Now I prefer using fantastic symbolism, elements, etc. in modernday contexts.

Okay, so there is that one fictional fantasy universe that I made up for fun ... anyone bored/interested can read about it here ... but I haven't written much about it. So that doesn't count.

Gwaimir Windgem · 01-30-2003, 03:00 PM

Oh...that doesn't count?

Gwaimir Windgem · 01-30-2003, 03:16 PM

Anyway, I read that, and it is very interesting, indeed! Quite well done, IMO.

galadriel · 01-30-2003, 04:51 PM

Well, thanks

I have absolutely no plans to make a real live story out of it, so... it semi-counts?

FrodoFriend · 02-02-2003, 01:13 PM

If anyone's interested, or really bored, here's a link to my LotR story: Nyáréonié

ArwenEvenstar · 02-02-2003, 06:40 PM

I write fantasy, we're doing short stories in English and my teacher dosen't care what we write about, so I'm writing something purely imaginated by me

I normally write fan-fics. I wrote a fan-fic that was 15 big loose pages, and that's one of the longest I've ever done!

The Ringbearer · 02-06-2003, 05:07 AM

*waves hand madly*

I've written 1 fan fic that SHOULD be one TolkienTrail now. I haven't checked. I also write fantasy 'junk' like crazy. I've got a simple storyline for a book (fantasy), and...er....well, that's it.

*sits down sheepishly*

Gwaimir Windgem · 02-06-2003, 12:50 PM

Well, actually, for my soonest works, all I have is storyline so far, too. And some work done on the world in which they happen.

Celebréiel · 02-06-2003, 01:03 PM

*waves hand around* I dont come in this forum often enough apparently!

I love to write, Ive done alot of *ahem* unfinished stuff, and recently started a lotr inspired thing! Thats weird..all I have is the characters so far (too many characters) but no storyline yet

~Celebréiel

Silverstripe · 02-06-2003, 01:21 PM

*waves hand and dances around*

I definitely write fantasy. I used to get in trouble a lot at school because I wrote stories during math class, history, etc. I have a tendency to start things more than I finish them, though. I'm working on writing only one story at a time.

Blackboar · 02-06-2003, 01:22 PM

Thats what I do!! I'm always drawing or writing poems or stories in everything!
