Thanks! The likelyhood is I'll write it down here but the bare bones will go into the story as it's told from one of the characters who lives there. It's not useless ^-^ I info dump a lot (see my sample, it's fairly info dump heavy XD)

I finished the description...

Geisha13, That's a good idea, but I'm not righting the story itself right now, just coming up with the character... So that's why I'm putting it all in one.

If you wanna see the description it was in my post about it in the spoiler. Critique wanted.

I like the idea for Chorda. She sounds kinda spooky.

Orsteinbyr

A decent size port in the north, on the northern and eastern sides cliffs surround the town protecting it from the worst of the blizzards and the biting winds. To the west the oft frozen ocean stretches off to the horizon. To the south snow laden plains extend for as far as the eye can see. From Orsteinbyr's walls icicles extend down and the torches barely melt them. Within Orsteinbyr itself there is a longhouse, typical of the northern towns and villages, that is inhabited by Göran and his family, a smithy where his daughter works and several small houses where tanning racks are a common sight. A mine extends into the cliff on the northern side where iron and coal are mined. Residents of Orsteinbyr make their living by fishing, mining or most commonly raiding various cities and towns along the coast. In the winter months boats are dragged from the harbour out to the nearest stretch of water and in the short summer months the boats are oft launched from the harbour itself.

Thanks I'm glad you like her <3

I often end up making up characters I never end up using though ^^'
(some times when that happens I use them all in one big story hehe)

I love making up characters, but not necessarily writing a story about/with them.

Hey Nessy, would it be ok if I "sold" (more like gave away) Characters? Because like I said, I love to design characters, but often have no purpose for them ^^'
...and sometimes people have hard times designing characters... So it's a win win- right?

Nice <3
I've designed quite a few more characters now. I think I'm gonna use one or two in a story soon.

Also I might make a poem soon about a sad life event.

Great topics! I'm prob'ly gonna do the book one, or just the poem if I get nowhere with it. -3- Still trying to work on the fantasy story, though, right now working on a few character designs. I'll try to get the story in as soon as possible, so I can find a plot for the book topic.
Interact?

Yooooooooo! I have a quick question because curiosity: the second Camp NaNo of the year starts in less than a week, and I was wondering if anyone else was planning to join?

I'd probably be more motivated if I knew PH people were in on it, just sayin'. :p

And re: critique - if you want me specifically to help you out, you miiight have to mention me by name or PM me. Old beta habits die hard. Really, really, really hard. Sadly. :'D

(edit): also, going to try my hand at the book prompt. 42, don't fail me now!

I'll probably do Camp NaNo but with the story I've already started. I couldn't do it last year because my old laptop keyboard broke :(

Have fun!

I'll try to whip these nerds into shape while you are gone ;) (jk guys, its a joke)

While I don't plan on participating in NaNoWriMo, I'm setting my own writing challenge. I want to fill a whole journal notebook with writings while I sit in a coffee shop.

Anyway, what in the world is NaNoWriMo?

Actually, NaNoWriMo "prime" (aka National Novel Writing Month) is in November, where the minimum goal is to write 50,000 words.

Once or twice more during the middle of the year is "Camp" NaNo, where you can set your own writing goals. That's the one that's a-happening (this time) in July. The Camping months change from time to time, haha.

If you have any questions about that, I think I'm qualified to answer. XD

I'm gonna try it, it might actually motivate me. I've set my goal at 10000 words but I might go over XD

Yay, go for it! It can be a surprisingly great motivator (comparing word counts, mostly). xD;

I'm setting my goal a little lower than last time, because a) the last one was strangely tough, and b) I'm still deciding which story I'm gonna work on. Guess I have to choose pretty soon. /D

Oh gosh, I think even on vacation I can only write up to 10k words a month... 50K in a month? Not a chance. (Though then again I usually spend holidays abroad without laptop, so...)And how in the world is comparing word counts supposed to be motivating?

It motivates you to put words on the page basically, lets say you've written 3000 words but Ufimtsev has written 4000 you're more likely to want to strive to be either on par or further ahead than Ufimtsev.
