Once upon a time, the people of Nore were happy. They lived in peace with the fey in the nearby forests, and the tiny kingdom thrived. But thirteen years ago, there was a blizzard, worse than anything anyone had ever seen before. So many people were killed, and it only got worse as time went on. Nore was soon locked in an endless winter with no way out.

All is not lost. The Norns are strong, they adapted. But families are splitting apart, magic is failing, and the once-peaceful fey have become dangerous. So many people have lost hope. What about you?

Have you ever played Blair Waldorf? Or auditioned to?

I have! I've played her in about 3/4 rps and auditioned to one where I wasn't accepted. :)

Aw thank you :3 And yeah, I got what you meant. I’ve got some ideas already, like one clone is coming back from culinary school in france and is offered a job in the town. Another has their monitor like moving “for work”. I’ve got different reasons mostly based off of careers and things.

themodelwrites

Haha you're welcome! I mean, the idea itself is really creative and it's taking a fandom I think no one has really tried out for an rp. Yeah, exactly. That's interesting and I think people would also be more inclined to check it out just to see the different reasons and how they were brought to town. I look forward to it being developed so I can stalk it from afar!

#westeroswriter #rose babbles

What do you guys think? Any advice or opinions?

Okay going to post what I have for a plot I’ll be calling Sunnyvale for now. I’d love to hear opinions and thoughts, along with whether it’d be a roleplay you’d join. If I do make this I will be putting a lot of work into it, so I’d like to know how you feel about it.

irant-rpc

I’m not trying to pick on you because a lot of people are under this notion that “Said is dead” but in fact said is definitely not dead. When reading most people read over the word said. You don’t really notice it’s there which is a good thing. When you replace it with a different word each time it makes for an incredibly choppy story. Unless it is important for your character to actually be doing that very specific thing that you’re making them do by adding that variation of said, then it just looks like you whipped out your thesaurus in an attempt to make your writing seem less boring.

These crazy dialogue tags break the cardinal rule of writing, they tell, not show. If you’re using a dialogue tag to show that your character is doing something you’re doing it wrong.

Here is an example I found:

"Let’s try an example to illustrate this point. Here’s an exchange between two bank robbers who were double-crossed by a woman they both love, and also there are space aliens (but that comes later in the story so it’s not relevant right now):

“The gold isn’t here,” Rick exclaimed.

“That’s because the dame stole it,” John replied.

“Don’t call her a dame, you son of a bitch,” Rick growled.

“Try and stop me,” John threatened, pointing a gun at Rick’s chest.

"All of the emotions are there. Except it’s sort of flat, isn’t it? Can you feel the tension between the two of them? I can’t and I wrote it. We know Rick is angry because he growled at John, but what does that even mean?”

Let’s try it again:

Rick snapped his head around the empty bank vault. “The gold isn’t here,” he said.

John ground his teeth and said, “That’s because the dame stole it.”

Rick caught John’s eyes in a death grip. “Don’t call her a dame, you son of a bitch.”

John pointed his gun at Rick’s chest and clicked off the safety. “Try and stop me,” he said.

"Okay, it’s not Shakespeare. But do you see what I did there? Rick doesn’t need to exclaim anything about the gold, because he’s snapping his head around, so we know that he’s frantic. He doesn’t need to growl because he deliberately looks Rick in the eye. And we don’t need to know that John threatened Rick. John is holding a loaded gun to Rick’s chest. “

They are completely anonymous words. We know what they mean. We’ve seen them so often that our eyes recognize the shape and convey the meaning with zero effort. We glide right over them. They allow for the sentence to make sense without actually having to stop and think about what that person is trying to say.

I see what you're saying and it definitely makes sense. I don't mean to call it a dead word, in fact, said can be useful for sentence flow and structure, perhaps you misunderstood what I meant, but this is simply for more writers to tend to use said in every sentence. I totally agree with the choppiness the different words can bring to a piece of writing but using variation occasionally and correctly is okay, no?

In a world of billions all seeking success, there are inevitably those within the population who fall through life’s cracks. When fate abandons you to your own devices, leaving you an outcast, what do you have left? Nothing to contribute. Nothing worthwhile. But luckily for you, you’ve been selected to be given a new, higher purpose - fulfilling the desires of those who actually deserve respect.

Welcome to Blackmill Manor. You’ll enjoy it soon enough.
