I seriously despise anyone posting about the "book" they're writing with grammar worthy a three-year-old, plot stolen from a known author, characters and setting a mix of the last three books they read. I hate them, I really do. If anyone of them ever gets published, I have no idea what I'll do. There's tons of them, everywhere. On every darned forum I come across there's some sort of "creative corner" (always cleverly paraphrased, alluding to Poe or Byron), full of pathetic tries and comments telling them how wonderful their pieces of crap are. Is there no honesty? If I suck, I'd like to know. And I'd like some constructive criticism: someone, tell me how to improve. Someone, tell the gothic apparitions of 14 that their poetry is not worth shit, that their short stories are crap and that their Fantasy novel has no potential.

"My story is Fantasy. It takes place in medevil times, more or less, but with some slight changes here and there. I have included monsters, powers, magic and some races (kind of like Lord Of The Rings).
I have 240 pages written as up now plus almost 100 in profiles, mythology, spells, potions, etc." Why, good grief, why?

Ja, skal man ta ideer fra andre bøker, må man i det minste gjøre det med stil og særegenhet *blunkblunk*
