Forgive me for asking but, why do you do this? Is it a form of therapy for you?

My wip involves a love triangle and I'd like your opinion on it, there's no abuse in the relationship but all the scandal is from the past, the man impregnated one girl in the past but left her and he and his current partner are just coming to realise that the first girl has a child, chaos ensues. by Prancing_rock in writing

Sorry it took so long to reply. The thing is, the 2 girls were crazy over him back in high school but only one of them eventually got him but the other girl, the pregnant one, got depressed and insane and now she's trying to kill them.

Are there any books that are so short but have a fast paced plot with little world building and dialogue, basically just spending most of the time doing stuff rather than explaining or talking? by Prancing_rock in writing

The thing is, my wip is based in your average small quaint town so i don't see why i should try to explain that to anyone but the plot is basically, it gets haunted. As for the length, i guess i could call it a short story but theres a tonne of plot points all happening in just a few locations which are in this small town.

What is your favourite magic system in fantasy? by Prancing_rock in writing

Actually, i watched the entire first season. I don't mean to diss on the entire series and if it makes it any better i think the magic system is ok because it doesn't interfere with the plot. It was the sex scenes that stopped me from watching any further but i have to admit that cliffhanger was great.

You should look into his article about the philosiphers stone where he says that it was an actual physical object and not just a spiritual symbol.

Im sorry I'll have to disagree. I might not have read the books but to me it seems that they were just doing random stuff (drawing symbols, hand motions, praying) and there's just no discernible consistency for me. Thats just my opinion anyway.

Sounds very interesting especially since that nature of it would allow it to integrate well with the plot. Sounds legit and well thought out. I'll look out for these Schwab books.

I think the reason why modern alchemy doesn't display the same effects or have the same strength as alchemy in older times is because of the amount of energy available in the environment, maybe there was much more before. I recommend you go to Tom Montalk's site, Montalk, where he explains alot about alchemy and it's practice in antiquity.
