Righto. Well, it seems that most of you are interested in the writing workshop. So here's how it'll work. Just sign up below with the topic you'd like to write about. If you don't know what you want to write about and would like ideas, just indicate that and we'll chime in to let you know what we see as your greatest strengths.

If no one takes issue with it, I think I'd like to write about Characterization. I can put up my essay in a day or two as an example and then you all can post yours. Just space them out a bit if you would. XD

Ohhhhhhh...whoah, okay I get it now. Sorry.

I would like to write about culture and everyday life, both in history and in fantasy. I would also like to write about world-building in general.

I know most writing advice now says to avoid the 'hassle' of world-building and creating cultures, but I think it can be great fun, as well as very rewarding!

^^ Not quite sure what you mean, but if you'd prefer to write about culture and everyday life and world-building, please feel free. I don't know much about that, so it should be interesting.

Well I'm into high fantasy, meaning stories that take place in totally different worlds (Anne McCaffery has her Pern, Terry Prachett has his Discworld, RA Salvatore has Faerun...), and I just love pretend politics and making up religions, cultures, languages, customs...not many people do that much work anymore, but I still like to have a whole world that I'm in charge of, that way I don't have to worry so much about research, just continuity.

That's my forte in writing, really, so that's my offering. I can also help with dealing with animals in fiction, including making new species.

All right. Sounds like a plan. :D

Awesome. However, I would like to request that my essays wait until December, as I'm taking part in Nanowrimo this year. Thanks!

No prob. We don't have to do this all at once.
