I am trying to write a long fantasy story and it would be helpful to receive some tips or maybe even plot ideas because i am kind of stuck.... The story is sort of like the book Eragon....the story itself isnt but the setting is; it has dragons, elves, dwarves, magic, and swords. Thanks!

It's summer time for me right now and I would like to read some YA books. They don't have to be YA books, but I prefer them. Please don't recommend series that are pretty well-known like Twilight and Harry Potter. Thanks so much!
:D
Also, I need to pick a summer reading book and I am thinking of picking So Long and Thanks For All the Fish by Douglas Adam. Is that a pretty good book? I read Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy and I loved it especially Marvin!

I'm writing a fantasy story and the main character rides a dragon. The dragon is male, has black scales, and blue eyes. I don't know what to name him. I was thinking about synonyms for black, and onyx was a possibility. However, a name like a Greek God would be cool. I want something creative/masculine/mighty sounding. Preferably nothing long. PLEASE give me your ideas and suggestions! Thank you!

Is there a certain amount of words a chapter has to be to be counted as a chapter?

Also, do you have to have a certain amount of chapters in a novel to be counted as a novel?

I've heard lots of predictions and questions (some of which have already been answered in the books or by Jo Rowling).
but what would you like to happen?
I want Harry to defeat Voldemort
I want Ginny & Harry to live happily ever after, and Ron & Hermione and Remus & Tonks.
I want Fawkes to come back to Harry (even though I know he's gone for ever)
I want Dumbledore to answer questions from his portrait.
I want Aberforth to be almost as good as Dumbledore.
I want Grimauld Place to become a nice place.
I want the book to be really long...... which it will have to be if all the remaining horcrux's have to be found and destroyed.
I want it to be 21st July now.
etc. etc.

Most people would probably think that Snape is terrible, evil, and a death eater. But what if he isn't? And also, I wonder if there's a possibility Snape loved Lily, therefore he hated Harry, because he was James's son, not his own.

I'm reading Snow by Orhan Pamuk [a very good novel]

2007-06-12 00:49:47 · 30 answers · asked by hasafer 7

I have seen the film and didn't realise it was a King novel first- the film doesn't seem like a King book, there's very little 'horror'- is the book the same (if it was written before the film) or, like The Green Mile, does the film adaptation, although good, cut a lot of the horror and story out?

Thanks
