Claire:
Hey. Megan here. 17, almost 18, and I've been majorly writing for four years.
I've been working in a sereis since I began high school four years ago. It started as a way to get out of my life so that I could have a place where my mom's fight with cancer didn't touch me as much. The characters were people I had RPed with a Text-based internet RPs called The Suns Shadows. The city it was taking place in was as well.
Well, one book turned into two, and two into three. I'm working on the third one now...for the second time. Yup. Fifty pages into the last book and I realized that I was going NOWHERE!! Time to restart.
As others, I'm working through the great swampy middle now in the last book. BUt I've grown a lot as a writer in four years. I look at my first book and think "what is this crap?" Thank got for editing.
So...basic sumary of the first book is thus-
There is a place in this world where magic still exists. It is a place where vampires and slayers, mages and witches, mortals and immortals have co-exsted in relative harmony for centuries. But all that is about to change.
When an Immortal warlord joins forces with a centuries old mage to control Clennon, all know that the eventual control of them all is not far behind if they succeed. So, bound and determined to keep Clennon a haven, Drake Coldheart teams up with the slayer Xzior and her friends to save it.
However, it will not be an easy task. And, on top of it all, a trusted friend may be betraying them.
Lord Khym:
I have been writing for a very long time. Unfortunately, no one wants to print what I write. I am about half way through with a screenplay about a haunted house, the third screenplay I've written (none of which has been made into a movie). I am also in the begining stages of a sci-fantasy about the end of the War on Terror, (a fringe group unleashes a virus that kills 99.9% of humanity and mutates the rest into giants, elves and halflings or leaves them as mere humans).
I have written lots of fan-fic and a childs story or two. Here's hoping that one of my stories will get published.
The Deposed King:
Hey all (waves his hand in the air) No urban fantasy over here for me. Besides I'm a rural country boy and keeping all that urban stuff internally consistant sounds like too much work for me. Nope. That stuffs fun to read but its not for me as a writer.
Instead I'm currently 50k words into a space story involving a Noble Insect Lordling and his effective exile to the outer rim of the insectoid empire, which takes place soon after returning from a small victorious battle, at the massive Hoth Front, to reinforce his troop of warriors. The space station he soon arrives on is about to go to heck in a hand basket and its up to him to kick butt, cut off heads and take names in a courteous fashion or else all is lost in this little piece of the empire.
Unfortunately I am currently bogged down. But! Our side has hope and I will soon start the word count march march marching along!!
Have fun guys and gals
BobSkull:
Heyo, I'm Luke and I've been writing for about 14 of my 18 years alive. Of course I would hope I have improved since then.....
But anyways, I actually have 10 novels in outlining, the majority of which are just random ideas that took on a life of their own in a way that made me think I could easily write a book about them. They vary from urban fantasy to serial killer crime novel to satirical fantasy. Basically there is only two that I am entirely focused on at this point and those are both over 30,000 words. One is a fantasy about an errandrunner for God and Lucifer who gets caught in the crossfire when he "borrows" an item that could cause the apocalypse. The other is just regular old fantasy, Demons, etc.
Druwydd:
Heheh, Dru, Drew....so long as we can avoid being quartered we're good.
