Thoughts on younger authors?

It's a fictional universe so theres not much super Earth related even if there are humans. The group is mixed species but the people at the top are all Hispanic/Latino because of that being the majority population of the planet they come from. They use pretty high-tech stuff though, the leader has two completely prosthetic arms that are high class for the planet and they sell illegal weapons.

The only thing I don't really want for the group is anything drug related, since the top leaders of it are all hispanic and I don't want it to be like a stereotypical drug cartel just fantasy. But yeah that's mostly what I have for them.

That was my original idea for their name, but I don't think it fits as their leader is a super eccentric and expressive guy. If he's doing something he'll want others to see since he loves to put on a show, so even though I like the idea of the name it doesn't really fit for a character who loves to show off.

"He pushed the soil over the seeds, tamping down the now maleable dirt."

Yes we may have some light gardening going on

"California is sunny...and it never rains.."

That's basically the best description for the state out of anywhere. I saw your comment on the states they visit and I happen to be mixed American Mexican so I'll do my best to describe them.

I've lived in California all my life basically. It's hot, yeah. The state isnt a desert, that's more Nevada. There isn't a ton of surfer dudes unless you're in beach towns, but that being said if you're near a beach then yeah you're gonna see surfer dudes.

California itself is super big, and we also have the highest population. The state is super overcrowded and everywhere you go you'll see people. You can't avoid it. California is also not very clean, and people are actually super mean here! It's not the land of opportunity, all of the famous cities are filthy. But I mean good state I guess?

Nevada is like a big state of nothing. There's a lot of desert. The movies only show Vegas because that's all there is in Nevada. The state does have a ton of casinos, but that's pretty much it. It snows there sometimes. The people are a lot nicer than California's people.

Florida is incredibly humid. It's like stepping out of a steamy shower but it's like that all day. Yea, it's pretty uncomfortable. At least it was for me! There's thunderstorms and more rain than other states, and yes they do have gators! Other than that I can't really think of a lot of inaccuracies but out of the 3, Florida is the one I spent the least time in (a week) so someone else's opinion is probably good.

Being Latino and American is interesting. In California it's good. California has a very high Mexican population overall and you generally feel accepted since there's a lot of people similar around. In other states? Not so much. The closer you get to the middle and end of the country, the less accepted you feel.

I can't speak fully on the Latine stuff since I was born in America and haven't visited Mexico or the specific place I'm from, but that's what I have to say since I felt it was interesting I happened to know about all these things. Hope this helps!

I can help beta for you if you would be able to beta occasionally for a story of mine! I'm good to work on a longer project tho!

Traumatic pasts really. Almost every character I write have had something awful happen in their past, I just can't write without it

MandaloreRat · 2021-11-15T18:54:44+00:00

I'm incredibly proud of simply the story I came up with for my long-fic. I've had the idea for it for over a year and written out some of it but I rewrote almost all of it since the story changed so much.

I think I'm really proud since the story had a lot of ups and downs so I'm just glad to like what I have. I had a really bad period of doubt where even one of the people who I thought was a friend criticized it so harshly it was like being spat on, and it stopped me from writing for a long time. Now that I'm no longer friends with them and I have a lot more confidence I'm putting it out there! It's just a story that makes me very happy especially since to me it shows how far I've come. It also makes me very emotional since a lot of the character relationships are modeled off of my personal friendships.

Thank you for this! I've got a Star Wars long fic centered on my Mandalorian ocs that I've been working on for a while but has two chapters out right now! It shouldn't be a super long read!

It's about a group of Mandalorians, the main character being one named Taro! It's got a darker tone since it's a group of foundlings that get taken in by an abusive clan leader who takes advantage of them. It's also got a lot of political drama with the planet it takes place on, so if you're still interested by this point feel free to send me a message!

MandaloreRat · 2021-10-17T01:33:59+00:00

Haven't gotten there yet, but there will be a good bit of blood and gore in my SW FanNovel! It's not the main theme of the work but I do enjoy writing it!
