*If you write, give an example of a good writing sentence: He watched his allies get defeated. He didn't do a single thing. Becuase he couldn't.
*If you edit, give me a sentence and say how to make it better:

You're in. Great sentence, BTW.

Yoshiboy · 2012-07-30 23:27:32

Why would you like to join Bookworm Studios?: Two of my favorite things to do are reading, and collaborating. I love books!
Which role would you like to do?: Editor.
*If you edit, give me a sentence and say how to make it better: "He watched his allies get defeated. He didn't do a single thing. Becuase he couldn't." The punctuation is the first thing I'd look at... And then I would make it more, dramatic: " As he watched his allies get defeated, he didn't do a single thing. There was nothing he could do to help them."
What is your favorite book?: Well, I love the Chronicles of Narnia. My favorites out of all seven are the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and the Last Battle.
Will you contribute to this collaboration, and stay active, and are you aware that you will be kicked out if you don't?: Totally!

You're in! I've been writing since before kindergarten, and reading before that. That's why I made this collaboration.

humhumgames · 2012-07-31 15:55:42

I have created our library. When we write and edit, post them here: It's a work in progress, I know. Can someone make a new logo or banner for us?

humhumgames · 2012-07-31 21:29:04

Yoshiboy, can you edit this (use different colors, please)?:

Ravenkit bounded up and down, excitement filling her paws. "Who's here? Who's here?" She questioned rapidly, her breath frosty in the Leafbare
weather. A new, strong scent filled the young cat's nose as she peeked
through the entrance of the soft MeadowClan nursery.
"Shhhhh!" Dawnrise, Ravenkit's mother dragged the kit towards the back of the
nursery. Ravenkit peeked through a hole in the nursery wall. Maybe it's a good thing they never bother to fix this nursery! It's as old as my mom! Ravenkit thought as she stuck her nose through the hole.
She smelled the strong scent again, although it mingled now more with the tight moor to the east of MeadowClan territory.
Ravenkit gazed out and managed to hear the hushed whispering voices of wandering cats and the more serious tone of their leader, Foxstar, and a mysterious, gruff mew. That was one of the kit's many talents: excellent hearing.
Ravenkit leaned in to hear more of the conversation. SPLASH!
"Yuck!!" Ravenkit meowed, a little to loudly. She had landed in the dirt pile, to the side of the nursery. A mysterious clump smelled faintly of Lightfoot, a
delicate she-cat. Not so delicate anymore, Ravenkit thought bitterly, wading in the foul-smelling dirt.
"No, it's just a kit!" The mysterious visitor stood glaring over the dirt pile, a distasteful look on his dark face.
"Ummm, hello?" Ravenkit tried.
"I am Darkmoon, have we met before?" Darkmoon's expression turned
into a confused jumble of trying to remember something. But Ravenkit
knew and remembered who he was. She felt like cowering, but as long as
he didn't remember her, she was safe.
"I don't believe we have met, I'm Ravenkit." The shadowy kit mewed cautiously.
Darkmoon just grunted in return, right before he padded away and into the entrance to the leader's den which was the Stone Tree.
That night Ravenkit worried. "Darkmoon..." She whispered, "I hope our leader knows what trouble you'll cause in the future."

You may want to add little bits describing the cat's appearances. But other than hat I is a great job!

berberberber · 2012-08-01 01:19:23

I had a idea where these people get warped to an alternate reality and have to get back. The dimension is on pen and paper, and they have to draw themselves items to get back, but they have to exist in the real dimension, and they cannot draw living or sentinent beings. I haven't put it on paper, though.

I have no idea what that is. So no.

humhumgames · 2012-08-01 12:47:05

Lol, you just edited a fan fiction story based off of the series.

Thank you!

Which role(s) would you like to do (Write, Review, Edit)?: All of them! big_smile
*If you write, give an example of a good writing sentence:

Bravely I pushed on through the dense jungle. My legs were moist from the dew that glistened upon the fronds and ferns at my feet. Covered with mosquito bites and sore from the days of painful walking, I emerged from the lush yet dangerous rainforest into the flat, seemingly endless savannah. The sun was blazing down onto my sunburned neck. Civilization was nowhere to be seen. My journey wasn't over yet.

*If you edit, give me a sentence and say how to make it better:

bob told jim, you cant go alone. jim said okay you can come with me. they both left together on there journey.

Fixed:

Bob told Jim that he couldn't go alone. 'Okay you can come with me,' said Jim. They both left on their journey.

What is your favorite book?: Animal Farm by George Orwell
Will you contribute to this collaboration, and stay active, and are you aware that you will be kicked out if you don't?: Yes.

humhumgames · 2012-08-01 16:16:20

This is our library. Currently, it's being worked on and there is only one unfinished book. Basically, we write, Yoshiboy edits, then we submit, and the reviews come in.

EDIT: I added an illustration department. Faaaaaaaancy. wink

What should I do now? Start writing a story?
Is there anything I can edit?

By the way, I only review finished works. That's my rule. Short stories are fine, but they must be complete.
Also, this is the form in which I review. Please, anyone else who is reviewing, find your own style so it won't get mixed up.

Okay. You can technically do whatever you want. If you would like, you can edit my story. It's in the library under fan fiction.

humhumgames · 2012-08-02 21:22:38

berberberber, how's it going with the new logo? The current one stinks.

berberberber · 2012-08-02 21:25:59

I'm trying, but it's kind of hard with an outdated Photoshop.
