Showered and now I'm feeling better!
@Chespin; I was kidding about the eyesight thing. I think it was just from staring at a bright screen in a dark room. I'll look over your ideas in a mo. I actually just came up with another cool idea for mine in the shower (where I get my best ideas).

Right now I'm gonna fangirl over this:

Well, I mean, I just started doing the actual writing. So I don't know if I'm a great authority. I am a professional writer in terms of nonfiction, though.

Anyway, I read it and it sounds interesting - even though I'm not that into vampire stories - but it's also really convoluted and hard-to-follow? Like, not that if you had the space of a novel to work it out that it wouldn't work, but that that particular summary was difficult to follow. Like, way too much information into my head at once. So definitely when you write it you're going to have to work on pacing and exposition, to make sure it doesn't feel that way in the actual work.

Its not a vampire story as much as it is a Religious Fantasy. Think the Divine Comedy, but less serious, and more of a fantasy. Not plot wise, but thematically, what with the characters and back story. Basically the plot deals with the acceptance of the all mighty one on the human side, the acceptance of the humans from the Marked Sons side, and the Devils own machinations running in the background that have been grinding away in his plot device for eons, that have caused the whole thing in the first place. Still deciding on the reasons for him being cast out of heaven.

Okay, but it's kind of hard to pick all that up from your summary, as it's very convoluted. All I'm saying is your idea could definitely work across the span of a novel, just work on your writing style so you have more clarity is all.

Nice. I am writing a story about one of my friends becoming a futa set in the 2050s

My story's about a guy who lives in a library. :|

Well you probably won't have a problem with world-building then. :)

You know, that part has never really been much of an issue to me. After reading stories that confused me with their description of where things physically were, I made sure that I was clear and plain with my directions, and it wasn't all that difficult to satisfy myself. :B

I like to write stories for fun. Most of them can't be read aloud though, because the content is usually crude or vulgar.

But those are the best kinds of stories!
I just wrote one, but if I posted it here, I would most likely get an infraction.

Haha. I think you can post naughty stuff in the Writers Workshop forum as long as they're properly labeled as such.

Or that might just be for fanfics. I don't know.
