Hello,
So are there any other Dollar authors up in here? If so, have you've wrote a novel or novella and what was it about? I did write a whole novel that was soon lost :( oh well haha

2 Name: Ray : 2012-05-14 22:23 ID:WB28K2i9 [Del]

i wrote a novel. i can't sum up what it was about really because it was basically about everything X3 The main mesage i had, though while writting it was: Everyone is afraid of something and that usually resides within ourselves and you can't move on in life untill you accept yourself for what you are. Well, that was just that one novel i wrote among many...

I've written several novels before, although only a few were honestly completed as intended. Most of those were on paper. One day before they disappear, I'll transfer them to the computer and publish... maybe. Right now, I'm working on a novella series that goes with a new card game I'm releasing in a few months. I'm not a big fan of revealing the plots, mainly because it kills the suspense when people actually get around to reading it. I'll share eventually, though ;P

I'm writing fanfictions and drabbles, but i am going to be writing a novel soon

7 Name: BarabiSama!!C8QPa1Mt : 2012-05-17 16:32 ID:JPm30D5B [Del]

>>6 I give you credit - I can't write drabbles to save my life. I always extend everything; I'm horrible at writing short, short stories.

8 Name: Kuroneko !TeRybnCeqs : 2012-05-18 10:42 ID:VyvYublH [Del]

Aye, I write. I'm CharmaEvans on fanfiction.net~

9 Name: Yukiko : 2012-05-18 18:49 ID:kTze3yQm [Del]

It's not published or anything, but I have a book! It has a bunch of different anime's and my own in it. (Everyone says it's just great! But I can't agree. It's 80 pages 30,000 words (yeah, I know, go to the bragging thread -.-) now, though I don't have much time to work on it :( And I don't have it out in public.

10 Name: BarabiSama!!Xu7p6LDw : 2012-05-19 06:47 ID:qHUNtbBY [Del]

>>9 Well... rather than novel, you have more of a novella. 30k isn't really enough for it to be considered a whole book. That's about half of the amount of text the average novel has.

11 Name: Dstar89 : 2012-05-20 12:01 ID:mXnpIbYH [Del]

i'm rewriting my book i lost on my old computer. And trafford publishing keeps contacting me about it.......

12 Name: Leigha Moscove !9tSeSkSEz2 : 2012-05-20 12:42 ID:mgf4ZkGo [Del]

Writing a book. You shall all be told the title and summary when it's done. I hope some people here will buy a copy. It's taken over a year now, but it's looking better every week that I work on it.

13 Name: Dstar89 : 2012-05-20 18:36 ID:wF77cJIs [Del]

cool. mine will hopefully become a 5 arc series. I also have another 20 some book plots :)

14 Name: Vives !0qvjPx3R8I : 2012-05-21 03:34 ID:2Uxw+GlO [Del]

I'm going to do this during the summer. I've got a plot that I've been developing for about three years and I'm finally writing it out!
I don't have a name yet however. :/

It's kind of hard to give a full description, so I'll just say that it involves time travel and father-daughter bonds with the themes of self-assurance and enduring love.

15 Name: Dstar89 : 2012-05-21 07:24 ID:+YAFI3SZ [Del]

Sweet. I wrote mine last summer. I've begun work on it again, and it might take up my summer but oh well. :D

I was reading through Cilia's Fangs, the first book of my trilogy, and I find that it's pretty graphic straight from the start. I mean, I was sort of going for that, but I'm afraid it's going to be awkward trying to sell it (since I'm printing and selling myself, and I can't afford to register an ISBN yet for it to go to bookstores)...

Customer: "Hello! What are you selling here today?"
Me: "Hello there. I'm a young author. I have been working on these books for many years, and though they've changed each rewrite, I'm rather proud of them. The prices are to your right."
Customer: "Mind if I flip through a bit?"
Me: "Of course not!"
[Customer flips through it. Sees graphic violence/romance. Sees incest. Customer puts the book down.]
Customer: "How old did you say you were..?"
Me: "Fifteen."
Customer: "And you've been writing this since you were..?"
Me: "About eleven. Again, though, it has changed over the years."
Customer: ":|"

>>17 *Eyetwitch* Heh...I actually laughed at that.

OKAY, anyway. I've actually written two novels featuring around 350 pages each. Only one was actually good enough to keep. It was called "Amazing" Its about a 16 year old boy named Kade. He meets an alien hunter named NoS. And...It kind of goes from there.

19 Name: Live 2 Die !EaLDSemWqE : 2012-05-31 16:20 ID:6jn4WY9a [Del]

Im actually doing a rewrite of Amazing on Wattpad. HERE IT IS!

20 Name: Leigha Moscove !9tSeSkSEz2 : 2012-05-31 16:26 ID:mgf4ZkGo [Del]

>>17 YOU!! You must give me a summary of your book. You keep talking about the books you've written, but won't tell me anything about them when I ask. I wanna know! Tell me!! Either stop talking about your book or tell me more.

21 Name: BarabiSama!!C8QPa1Mt : 2012-05-31 16:41 ID:o7NuqdLk [Del]

>>20 Fine. Blah.

The Forgotten One Trilogy is something I've been working on for several years. The trilogy centers around Cilia, who is a vampire of the Aristocracy. The Aristocracy controls the majority of human, demon, and vampire society alike. Cilia is a vampire with a very striking and unrealistic appearance - she has white hair, white eyelashes, tan skin, and heterochromatic eyes. She suffers from frequent illness and, more importantly, amnesia.

Cilia is known to be generally emotionless, yet ruthless once she sees blood. She does what she is told like an obedient doll, but once she gets into kill mode, she does not differentiate between humans and vampires. Anything with a good scent is hers for the taking. Her older brother, Nicholas (Nick), is equally ruthless, and he is the only one she will submit to in this state. The two are inseparable; they have a somewhat improper relationship, as well, although Cilia is less into it than Nick.

Zachary (Zack) is the younger brother of the two. Any time that Nick is away, Cilia sits in her room doing nothing. So, Zack often drags her into mischief. He is the only one who doesn't know what Cilia really is.

Because of her frequent amnesiatic fits, she was always in a state of confusion. Her lack of emotions is most likely because of that. She doesn't know her past nor most of her present. Nor does she know about The Forgotten One. That is, of course, until the crow cawks. Each time, the crow lures her to His letters. Each time, she remembers more and more. She puts the letters in a secret compartment and then passes out again, waking up with no recollection of the event.

The Aristocracy is always on pins and needles when Cilia blanks out, for it only happens the few times she is away from Nick, who is in charge of taking care of her. The Adamas family, which is a pure blood family and leads the Aristocracy, is always asking after Cilia. However, they are far from mentally stable; pure blood comes at a price.

But what will happen when someone finds the letters? What is so important about Cilia's past? When the Emeralds--the family which Cilia was part of as she lived with Nick, Zack, and their parents--take a trip to the Adamas residence, everything changes.

^ That's the plot of the first book, Cilia's Fangs. There are also a lot of dramatic fillers that give more perspective into Cilia's mental state and abilities. My trilogy follows a very different idea of vampires. The basics are still the same, but where they were derived from is much different. That, of course, is not found out until much later in the trilogy.

22 Name: Leigha Moscove !9tSeSkSEz2 : 2012-05-31 16:48 ID:mgf4ZkGo [Del]

>>21 Interesting. How many pages is it? I'm pretty open-minded about different views on vampires. Twilight, True Blood, and the like are the only times I have real issues with them. I usually love vampire books, and you book sounds good!

23 Name: BarabiSama!!C8QPa1Mt : 2012-05-31 16:51 ID:o7NuqdLk [Del]

>>22 I'm still editting, but it will probably be around 200 pages when all is said and done, including the introduction and About the Author section :O More or less. Because I have a bad habit of continuously rewriting things, the number will undoubtly change through the editting process lol

24 Name: Leigha Moscove !9tSeSkSEz2 : 2012-05-31 16:52 ID:mgf4ZkGo [Del]

>>23 You'll tell me when you finish it right? I'll read it. I want to read it!

25 Name: BarabiSama!!C8QPa1Mt : 2012-05-31 16:55 ID:o7NuqdLk [Del]

>>24 Of course :O You have to buy it, though. Sorry to say that, but it's true lol I have too many people in line for free copies already.

26 Name: Leigha Moscove !9tSeSkSEz2 : 2012-05-31 17:16 ID:mgf4ZkGo [Del]

>>25 I'll pay for it. I wasn't expecting a free copy when we only know each other online.

27 Name: BarabiSama!!C8QPa1Mt : 2012-05-31 17:29 ID:o7NuqdLk [Del]

>>26 Then of course ;P

My offline friends kill me about it x-x They all want copies, and I'm like, "Bitches, please. I can't afford to give it to you for free." Then they get all, "YOU'RE SO MEAN, I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS!" on me =o=

Once I update the site for it, I'll link it here. I like uploading excerpts.

28 Name: anubis !uSezxvwowc : 2012-05-31 18:02 ID:qf/r/dQm [Del]

>>27 I've been writing a couple of stories for a bit, the only people who get it for free are those who are editing for me.

29 Name: Leigha Moscove !9tSeSkSEz2 : 2012-05-31 18:28 ID:mgf4ZkGo [Del]

>>28 *raises hand* I'll edit it! I don't care what it's about! I'll edit it!

Now, before you go on saying something about what kind of editor you want. I'm editing the book my friend is writing as well as the one I'm writing. I will also send it to my friends to edit. The only thing I'm probably bad at is punctuation. My spelling is iffy, but it's obvious to me when a word is spelt wrong, so I'll just look up the correct spelling. I'm good at everything else!

30 Name: Alyosha : 2012-06-01 00:20 ID:MVxT7jnH [Del]

I write at work during my down time. If anyone wants to have an editor, I'll do what I can when I can. My email is alyoshadjurdevic@gmail.com.

Also, content and plot don't matter in a story. So long as it is there for a reason, then it is necessary. Anything can make a good story.

31 Name: Dai !gs94MYUcY2 : 2012-06-01 00:32 ID:h0FUtkD+ [Del]

I don't write novels, but I do write poetry. It's my life. I'd be lost without it.

32 Name: Chaos !pu0wB35y1Q : 2012-06-06 10:47 ID:895EK2IB [Del]

I'm writing a novel, hoping to get it published and turn it into a series. I only have a few chapter done right now, but you can go here http://titanpad.com/chaoticnight if you want to read them. I would love to get reviews, so you can leave any comments in the chat box, or if you feel something should be changed, I don't care if you edit it so long as it's in a different color and you let me know. Any suggestions for chapter names would also be great ^^"

33 Name: Cordain !8KX/HdY7iQ : 2012-06-06 11:02 ID:O+pNz1n7 [Del]

Only a series of short stories/flash stories, working on getting better at writing consistently before I try a book...although I have outlines for several books set down.

34 Name: BarabiSama!!C8QPa1Mt : 2012-07-09 10:48 ID:0jGHriJd [Del]

So. I finally got around to working on the novella series that goes with our card game, Shades of Clear. I must say, it's interesting, but it's not as easy to write as I hoped it would be. Even though it's a novella, there are a lot of small details that I have to get right, so it's a long, intricate process trying to write it :<

35 Name: CeltysCat : 2012-07-11 21:14 ID:roEEqNia [Del]

Nah, I just write a lot of pony fanfiction. Ponies are so fucking awesome.

I haven't written a novel, but I have written very many fanfictions. They are all pretty bad sadly...

I have a question for anubis about the book I'm writing and the only person I think would be able to answer it is her.

41 Name: Stuffed Friia !HI4j9f3lc2 : 2012-07-26 21:17 ID:wWZ3kO4y [Del]

I've started about 4 novels over the years, and haven't finished any of them. I'm currently putting notes together for a novella which will hopefully lead to a series of them.
The first one is about a young woman who is very bright but fears leaving the safety of her mountain village unlike her father, a world-renowned adventurer with several artifacts in the local museum found by him. The woman fears leaving town so much that she agrees to marry someone she doesn't love so she'll have an "anchor".
Don't worry, it won't be a weepy romance. XD

42 Name: Leigha Moscove !9tSeSkSEz2 : 2012-07-26 23:11 ID:mgf4ZkGo [Del]

50 Name: meteor : 2012-10-07 20:02 ID:urlRGmbv [Del]

Fanfiction writer. Trying to work on a novel and fails. Can't do anything more than a one-page, one-shot.

51 Name: Nato !hQPz52AA/. : 2012-10-08 00:07 ID:u1xNpbE3 [Del]

Why yes, I'm a writer. Pretty much all I'm known for.

I've written lots of short stories and "snapshot" pieces. I've also written a complete novella (~12,500 words) that I intend to add to this coming November.

I'm also working on a visual novel - I have all the characters fleshed out and occasionally write a few portions of various arcs, but I don't expect to do much with it until later on.

52 Name: yosukethefrogman : 2012-10-09 16:36 ID:0QLDjtF3 [Del]

Yeah, i'm a writer too (although most of the writing takes place in English class :) ).
Currently working on a novel, gotten to page 40-something without massive changes (a major victory for me). Plus, I get massive writer's block cases and have to find it in me to transcribe it to computer... Aside from that it goes pretty well.
