Quick question

Are Geena and Geoffrey too similar? Am I being too paranoid? Or will it possibly distract the reader? They're the only two G names and they're opposite gender.

For Your Perusal: Black Wings, Chapter One

sinestris wrote in a_soc_k Aug 12, 2012 14:59

a.k.a. the first chapter of my sci-fantasy epic thing involving dead people coming back to life, evil god-spirits, culturally protected tribes and magitech. Rip into it, and hard; it needs a kick up the metaphorical. (Just remember: British English here, so some of my spelling will look funny.)

Behind a cut because it's got a fair length on it.

The Hero(ine). A Study.

Or Rant. Or Essay. Maybe this will just end up an incoherent bunch of thoughts all cobbled together like an Ork trukk. Either way I just want to lay down some thoughts on the modern incarnation of the Hero and Heroine. This is just my view, obviously, and you're welcome to share your own. Some mild swearing ahead.

Themes, Motifs and Symbolism.

This is something I've covered before, but I want to add a bit to it. Mainly, what are the themes running through your stories. Pending you've found one. Or if not that, re-accuring motifs or symbolism you've seen show up ( Read more... )

Magazines for Fantasy

princesselwen wrote in a_soc_k Jun 09, 2012 10:50

So this summer I am looking for places to publish some stories or poems, or at least try to. I'd like to know some publications that accept them. It doesn't matter if they're print or online, but they have to be fantasy/sci-fi, because I don't do literary very well.
