    Conflict Prompts

    By Valkyrie

    A good story needs some kind of conflict.  It doesn't have to be over the top drama, but there needs to be something for the character(s) to work toward overcoming.  So, let's get conflicted!       PT Prompt #241 Create a conflict.  Then add conflict to that conflict.  Then add even more conflict.  There cannot be enough conflict in this story.   PT Prompt #242 Write a story with an unresolved conflict that still has a satisfactory ending.    Please

True As It Can Be Chapter 11 is Now Live- Author Notes

Chapter 11 is now live, here's some author's note: -Brad's beastly side is showing -Despite how much emotional growth and progress is shown, there's still a long way to go for everyone -Beau has an innate gift as a therapist and someone who can empathize with others. -Brad is naturally intimidating and dominant, but he's not sadistic or selfish about it. Some gay guys are naturally very dominant by personality, but in this case, Brad is worried that his nature is linked to Ga

That First Paragraph

"I hadn't even realized how much trouble I had gotten myself into...until I felt that first punch land directly on the side of my left cheek...sending me reeling back against the high school lockers. I really should learn to keep my mouth shut." Now, I'm going to assume what the heck is going on with those past few sentences. Hehehe! Rightfully so. What is going on? Who just got punched in the face? Who hit him? And WHY? Well, as I've said in earlier articles, the answer from me as a writer

Memeing In the First Republic

Some people might think that the 1st memes invented were Keyboard cat, Philosoraptor and the numa-numa guy. That would be very, very wrong. Imagine you lived in a Kingdom that was one of the most powerful and influential in the world but, it had fallen on hard times. The king was, by all accounts, a corrupt incompetent dolt. The people were hungry and the spoiled, foolish Queen, when told there was no bread for the peasants said let them eat cake. While this might sound u

True As It Can Be Chapter 10 is Now Live- Author Notes

Chapter 10 is now live, here's some author's notes: -Sunday around Keller Hall isn't a day of rest, there's a lot of personal and emotional things coming up -Warren is mad at himself, not Beau. He's also still not a fan of Brad, because Brad hasn't yet acknowledged what he did to Francis. We and Beau all know Brad isn't a bad guy, but we also understand he's not in a good head space right now. -Seeking forgiveness and reconciliation are difficult topics, while some people would ar

Wow! Time flies! It's time for Ask An Author! We're dipping our tootsies back into some fantasy writing, but with a healthy dosage of sci-fi! This one is a little special because it's a sequel.

Thoughts from the Faerie Fool

Wedding planning

Wedding is only about 8-weeks away and we're still trying to get some things nailed down. I keep having to remind SP that it's close than he thinks it is.  The invitations need to go out and we don't even have a full guest list typed up yet!  Not to mention minor things like FLORAL.  <sigh> Just had to rant a bit this morning.  I know everything will come together in the end the way it was meant to and am trying not to stress over it, but I'll feel better once all the details are nail

True As It Can Be Chapter 9 is Now Live- Author Notes

Chapter 9 is now live, here's some thoughts: -Sleeping wrapped around each other in a bed, while one partner is interested in sex and the other isn't in the mood. Is it a sexual Snuggle? A non-sexual Cuddle? Or, is it a Huggle? -Brad reveals a lot about himself in this chapter: He's driven to be the best, not out of obligation or parental pressure, he does it to himself. His fatal flaw is internalizing many things in his life. -Brad's dog Cam gets a little backstory. It would have
