The theme of my story is love, death, and loss. Oh, and death. Lots of death.



BQ: What makes your story different from everyone else's?

There is some that is the same, and some that is different. The underworld is based on Greek and Roman mythology, but that's the only mythological element. It's a YA, which isn't different. However, a YA being told from the boy's perspective is less done. Also, the MC is the special one in most circumstances. It's about the son of the Grim Reaper, which I've looked but never found. The tone itself is very dream-like and surreal.



BQ2: Are you writing your story in your favourite genre, or just writing in the genre that's most popular at the moment?

Favorite. I've always rathered YA stories, and always favored the paranormal.



BQ3: Is there any other reason, than writing for your enjoyment, for writing a story?

It's a great stress reliever, and it makes me feel better when I've fallen into a depression. I like becoming someone else for a little bit.



BQ4: Do you want to share your story with the world or just keep it secret?

I want to share it with the world, but rather in a published format. I do share it with my family, and my writing group, and at times, with people on B&A.



BQ5: If answered 'with the world', have you thought of the agent and/or publisher you'd like to send your story to already (you can put more than one, if you want)?

I have a list. But the one I want to send it to the most is Merrilee Heifetz. She represents Neil Gaiman, Sherilyn Kenyon, and Laurell K. Hamilton. I'd love to be added to that list of best sellers.



BQ6: Are there any morals-to-the-story?

Life sucks. And then you die.

BQ: What makes your story different from everyone else's?

My writing style is like many other authors my own. I make my story interesting in a way that would appeal to me and other teenagers.



BQ2: Are you writing your story in your favorite genre, or just writing in the genre that's most popular at the moment?

The theme I am writing seems to be very popular but that isn't why I am writing it. I'm writing it because I love the mystery of the theme and I've been a little freak of it since I was a baby



BQ3: Is there any other reason, than writing for your enjoyment, for writing a story?

No, not really. My writing is my being, and I don't really need acceptance for it



BQ4: Do you want to share your story with the world or just keep it secret?

I want everyone to read this little piece that is entirely me



BQ5: If answered 'with the world', have you thought of the agent and/or publisher you'd like to send your story to already (you can put more than one, if you want)?

Yes and no. It doesn't really matter who accepts it because in the end I just want people to read it.

And it doesn't matter if I put it up here. It's not American or English



BQ6: Are there any morals-to-the-story?

Hm, I've thought about it many times and I guess there sort off is.

Well I think religion and faith. (I'm an athiest so I'm really exploring the medieval approach to religion and the pleasure and pain it brought with it.)

Love - obviously.



BQ: What makes your story different from everyone else's?

-Not much really. All stories are based on about 5 main story plots.



BQ2: Are you writing your story in your favourite genre, or just writing in the genre that's most popular at the moment?

-My favorite genre - historic romance



BQ3: Is there any other reason, than writing for your enjoyment, for writing a story?

-For me personally at the moment, no. Although I do feel that writing for your own enjoyment is the best way, plus it's always good to practice writing to get better, maybe in a few years I'll come back to some of my practise and say, 'yeah, after some major editing, this could be good.'



BQ4: Do you want to share your story with the world or just keep it secret?

-I would actually but you'd be reading for hours, just the beginning is here and I'de love you to answer my question :) https://answersrip.com/question/index?qid=20110124084622AAh63S4



BQ5: If answered 'with the world', have you thought of the agent and/or publisher you'd like to send your story to already (you can put more than one, if you want)?

No, but my target would probably be whoever worked with the Ken Follet novels as mine have the same kind of storylines.



BQ6: Are there any morals-to-the-story?

Yeah - don't marry idiots lol!
2011-01-24 17:17:38 UTC
Im not sure, since they all have different themes!



BQ: What makes your story different from everyone else's?



- Nothing!



BQ2: Are you writing your story in your favourite genre, or just writing in the genre that's most popular at the moment?



- Yes, I'm writing in my favourite genre, fantasy!



BQ3: Is there any other reason, than writing for your enjoyment, for writing a story?



- I want to accomplish something!



BQ4: Do you want to share your story with the world or just keep it secret?



- The world!



BQ5: If answered 'with the world', have you thought of the agent and/or publisher you'd like to send your story to already (you can put more than one, if you want)?



- No, I'm just focusing on finishing the story first.



BQ6: Are there any morals-to-the-story?



- No that I know of.

*needs two points- chews arm* Has anyone else noticed we've all lost our top contributor badges!? Me iz not amused :L



BQ: What makes your story different from everyone else's?

In my reliable opinion, my friend, i would say the answer is clear. It is poetic and has a fantabulous plot lol- modesty is not something i do.. :P

BQ2: Are you writing your story in your favourite genre, or just writing in the genre that's most popular at the moment?

hmmm, I wanted to write fantasy but I like what i write now- kind of adventure, romance, fiction, all mixed up to make a flabby recipe.

BQ3: Is there any other reason, than writing for your enjoyment, for writing a story?

To earn moneyzzzz, to open the mind of imagination

BQ4: Do you want to share your story with the world or just keep it secret?

I will eventually publish it so then the world will read it

BQ5: If answered 'with the world', have you thought of the agent and/or publisher you'd like to send your story to already (you can put more than one, if you want)?

HarperCollins *sigh* ill never get it though

BQ6: Are there any morals-to-the-story?

Sacrifice

Loss

Separation

Justice

Love

Determination

Courage

Betrayal



It's a fantasy.



BQ: What makes your story different from everyone else's?

---I suppose the story itself. No one can recreate my story the way I made the original. My character isn't anyone special. His situation and his friends could be called more extraordinary. I guess you could say I'm playing in on that "normal kid does something big" thing, but my MC has his own strengths and they aren't magical in any way.



BQ2: Are you writing your story in your favorite genre, or just writing in the genre that's most popular at the moment?

---I am a huge fantasy geek so I'll say favorite genre. Though, the fantasy genre (or maybe the urban fantasy sub-genre) is becoming popular these days.



BQ3: Is there any other reason, than writing for your enjoyment, for writing a story?

---I want to tell people an awesome story. I like to amaze. I like to perform. I write for myself, but after it's written I want to share and share big. Writing is something that makes me happy.



BQ4: Do you want to share your story with the world or just keep it secret?

---Lol, I answered this in the previous question. But, yes, I'd love for it to be out there. I think I owe myself that much for all this work!



BQ5: If answered 'with the world', have you thought of the agent and/or publisher you'd like to send your story to already (you can put more than one, if you want)?

---I'm a big fan of Little, Brown and Company. Some of my favorite books were published by them, so I'd love to try them.



BQ6: Are there any morals-to-the-story?

--Uh, not in an obvious way. I think the morals might match up with the themes, such as "Sacrifice is sometimes necessary and calls for much courage."

Very nice BQ :)



BQ: What makes your story different from everyone else's?



My voice, my perspectives, the types of characters I'm using and their pov's, my world, and the conscious avoidance of typical cliches.



BQ2: Are you writing your story in your favourite genre, or just writing in the genre that's most popular at the moment?



Yes, I'm writing in my favorite genre: fantasy.



BQ3: Is there any other reason, than writing for your enjoyment, for writing a story?



Hmm, well I'm writing this because it hasn't been done in this way yet, with the characters and plot I'm using. But mostly no, its for me and me alone. I'm not writing for anyone else. But if others enjoy it then great :)



BQ4: Do you want to share your story with the world or just keep it secret?



If it meets my very critical expectations and if I think it's good enough and won't disgust the reading public then yes, I'll share it.



BQ5: If answered 'with the world', have you thought of the agent and/or publisher you'd like to send your story to already (you can put more than one, if you want)?



Yes I have my agent. You want to choose ones with experience in your genre and who will honestly tell you how it is.



BQ6: Are there any morals-to-the-story?



Many themes. I'm a feminist, that shines through with my protagonist's contempt toward the social paradigm of her own culture. I address various aspects or themes in the story that piss me off in the real world such as greed and it being the downfall of all social structures, bullying of those considered unconventional, elitism/slavery/etc., acceptance and forgiveness, the complexity of the human spirit, love and hate, I suppose I also pretty much show that good and evil are illusory and that nothing is ever as definitive as a black/white comparison at least where human nature (and other creatures in the story), are concerned. Overall theme? Staying true to yourself for lack of a better phrase.

BQ: What makes your story different from everyone else's? My characters and some of their situations



BQ2: Are you writing your story in your favourite genre, or just writing in the genre that's most popular at the moment? My favorite



BQ3: Is there any other reason, than writing for your enjoyment, for writing a story? I write because I can't stop myself.



BQ4: Do you want to share your story with the world or just keep it secret? For now, I don't want to give away everything. But someday, I'd like to share it with the world: when it's finished and polished.



BQ5: If answered 'with the world', have you thought of the agent and/or publisher you'd like to send your story to already (you can put more than one, if you want)? No I haven't really considered which publisher because I'm not at that stage yet.



BQ6: Are there any morals-to-the-story? Yes.





Would you mind answering mine please?

The theme? Never trust anyone! XD No, kidding. That's not, but I just felt like saying that. :D



BQ: What makes your story different from everyone else's?

Um... I wrote it? It's not the usual idea/plot. It's... different, unexpected, and I don't know... It just is. XD



BQ2: Are you writing your story in your favourite genre, or just writing in the genre that's most popular at the moment?

I'm writing one of my favorite genres right now. It's a fantasy one. Fantasy is one of my favorite genres. I do have others, some that I will write in and some that I won't because I know I would do a horrible job at it.



BQ3: Is there any other reason, than writing for your enjoyment, for writing a story?

No, not really. Just cause I wanted to write. I love writing. :D



BQ4: Do you want to share your story with the world or just keep it secret?

This one I think I'll share with the world. Because I think I'm finally ready to do that.



BQ5: If answered 'with the world', have you thought of the agent and/or publisher you'd like to send your story to already (you can put more than one, if you want)?

Not a clue. I know I looked before at some and I have a couple in mind, but I don't know their names off-hand and I'm not entirely sure if I want to or not.



BQ6: Are there any morals-to-the-story?

Um... I think so... But I can't recall right now... I need coffee before I think.XD

The main theme is that revenge creates destruction. The other main second one is to be patient with people.



BQ: What makes your story different from everyone else's?

---Maybe the fact that the main character is deterred from liking anyone and romance is not the ball of the game for this one? I don't feel like explaining the plot today, eh. Sorry, you're not missing much.



BQ2: Are you writing your story in your favourite genre, or just writing in the genre that's most popular at the moment?

---I'm writing in my favorite genre: fantasy. It probably is the most popular, though =P



BQ3: Is there any other reason, than writing for your enjoyment, for writing a story?

---Well, I'm mainly writing for enjoyment. Secondly to help myself improve my writing skills.



BQ4: Do you want to share your story with the world or just keep it secret?

---I want to share it... but I don't want people to know who wrote it. Eek, my writing is awful.



BQ5: If answered 'with the world', have you thought of the agent and/or publisher you'd like to send your story to already (you can put more than one, if you want)?

---I still got a way to go before I *try* to publish.



BQ6: Are there any morals-to-the-story?

---They're pretty much the themes up there. Deceit, self-centered matters and secrets sort of make their way into it all. Sort of.

BQ: What makes your story different from everyone else's?



LOL. Nothing!



BQ2: Are you writing your story in your favourite genre, or just writing in the genre that's most popular at the moment?



I only write M/M slash. I cannot write *popular* genres. Although slash is popular, come to think of it.



BQ3: Is there any other reason, than writing for your enjoyment, for writing a story?



No. I write because I love it.



BQ4: Do you want to share your story with the world or just keep it secret?



I post my ongoing series on a fanfiction archive.



BQ5: If answered 'with the world', have you thought of the agent and/or publisher you'd like to send your story to already (you can put more than one, if you want)?



Fanfiction cannot be published due to copyright - although some authors, like Storm Constantine, will allow people to write in her 'verse and has recently published an anthology of fanworks. I know a couple of the authors.



BQ6: Are there any morals-to-the-story?



There is nothing that cannot be endured.

I don't really know what specific one it would be because I write so many different themes, if that makes sense.





BQ: What makes your story different from everyone else's?

I wrote it and it was my idea.

BQ2: Are you writing your story in your favorite genre, or just writing in the genre that's most popular at the moment?

I write about what I want to write about. I don't have a favorite genre but I do have least favorite genres, so I stay away from them.

BQ3: Is there any other reason, than writing for your enjoyment, for writing a story?

Not for me, but for people who need to earn a living off of it, yes there is.

BQ4: Do you want to share your story with the world or just keep it secret?

Depends. I'm kind of scared of people trashing as badly as they do Twilight or some people do with Harry Potter. Then again, my book probably wouldn't make it any farther than getting sent to the publisher, so...

BQ5: If answered 'with the world', have you thought of the agent and/or publisher you'd like to send your story to already (you can put more than one, if you want)?

I'm still deciding if I'm going to publish them like I said in BQ4

BQ6: Are there any morals-to-the-story?

Not really because the one that I'm almost finished with is fantasy so it can't really relate to real life.
