So is the Aligned Continuity officially dead or are there still projects tied back/tying back to it? I've seen that elements of it have been salvaged in other continuities, but on its own is it finished?

Well, it’ll be “dead” when they stop producing new content for it, and given that while we don’t know what’s happened with the “main” cartoon post-RID, a new Rescue Bots cartoon has already been confirmed, it doesn’t seem to be going anywhere yet.

The fairy-story that succeeds is in fact not a work of fiction at all; or at least no more than, say, the opening chapters of Genesis. It is a transcription of a view of life into terms of highly simplified symbols; and when it succeeds in its literary purpose, it leaves us with a deep indefinable feeling of truth;

Welcome To Camp Nightmare

What lengths have you gone through to pass a test?

I know that I’ve done all that I can to cheat on tests back in the past, like writing things on my wrists or something. I’ve also stayed up for hours cramming things in, only to fail the test anyway.

I'm trying to write a story about two sisters, and how the youngest of them comes into contact with a supernatural force only they hear/see. I'm split over whose POV to write from, however; if I do the younger sibling, I can explain a bit more, but if I write from the older one's POV, I was thinking I can give a slightly more suspenseful/creepy atmosphere. Or maybe I could alternate, even if it's a short story. What do you guys think?

it depends what you’re going for, stylistically, and what story you’re really telling. Personally, I’d recommend writing a couple scenes from both perspectives (yes, I’m talking about writing the same scenes, but from different POVs) and see what works. It’ll give you insight into both sides and you can get a better sense of what kind of story you want to craft.

Hope this helps!

fantomdranzerx replied to your post “Don’t steal other writers’ established Original Characters when...”

Ouch, that's not good at all! Why would someone do that...?

People commit intellectual thievery for a lot of reasons; lack of inspiration, selfish motives, laziness...  though it’s usually a combination of factors.

Compliment/Why I Follow You: Your writing is really well done, and I like how you research stuff for your stories (I read all the endnotes, lol). Also, all your knowledge on faeries and folklore are really nice. :)

Thank you! 

A fully researched and imagined world is so important to me when it comes to storytelling.  Honestly, it’s a major reason why I love fantasy/sci-fi movies and franchises like Maleficent, Star Wars, and even Avatar.  I could get lost on those Wikias for hours, reading about minor characters, settings, languages, and all of the cultures that writers and producers have thought up to this point. 

One major issue that I had with Maleficent was that while they explored some minor faerie lore in the script, and had a hugely realized setting and gorgeous depictions of so many different kinds of Fair Folk, that it went mostly unexplained to the audience how deep and vast the culture surrounding these tales are. The Maleficent Wiki is a side-page of the Sleeping Beauty Wiki; while that’s accurate, doesn’t really give the producers or fans the opportunity to lose themselves in this wonderful creation and say “Yes, this is what they were seeing in their minds eye for this character/place/scene,” and still allow SB!Verse to have its own canon and adoration. 

I love it when they do release production art now and again, but in my opinion, Disney lost out big time by not making way more Maleficent merchandise. Also, they seriously dropped the ball on not giving the fan base and creative team a place to exchange information and celebrate this wonderfully visual movie, whose characters are far deeper even in the YA fiction accompaniment than they were in the movie - and that was pretty deep for a Disney movie!
