Yes some of them are very helpful!
Just the last one would change the hole meaning, so I won't change that and I really think I don't need two already in the 4 paragraph..
But besides those, you helped a lot, thank you!

I'm going to add a little bit about the differences between each nation for my world building here. I'm on mobile and autocorrect hates my guts so yeah. :'D
Show hidden content
The Enchanted look similar to humans, but with differences. They have long and curled horns that get longer and gain another coil every year. They also have wings of varying colors, sizes, shape, and material; some may have bat wings, some may have angel wings. It depends on the Enchanted.
The Otherworldly are called the Otherworldly simply because of how many subspecies they have. Some are bidpedal, some are on four legs, some may have oddly placed body parts; they vary so much, and have so many unique traits, that they can't be classified by appearance.
The Everchanging are humans. We all know what humans look like.
However, appearance is not the only factor in deciding which nation you're from. All three nations can use some sort of magic. The Enchanted use the purest form of magic, where they pull magic directly out of the atmosphere. They use a device (it can be anything, really, from a stuffed animal to a tree) to channel this magic because their bodies cannot take pure magic. The Otherworldly use magic stored within their bodies, but it isn't pure magic. It's been altered so that it's safe for them to keep within their bodies. They don't require anything to channel this magic. The Everchanging store pure magic within their bodies, since they are immune to the harmful effects it can have.
The Enchanted can't run out of magical supply, but since they have no actual magic within their bodies, they get ill/injured easily. The Otherwordly's magic is not as strong as pure magic, but it's still strong, and they have durable bodies. The Everchanging have a somewhat durable body, but most of the durability goes to preventing magical poisoning.

Any flaws/loopholes? Tell me please? :3

This week's prompt... a fusion! BOOP!

Show hidden content

I gazed over the battlefield, leering at the Pokemon and trainer opposite of me. I shot a burst of fire at the two, and the Wartortle hopped in the air, dodging my futile attack.

Wait, who are you? Yes, I can see you. I can see everything. My name? Matres. I can hear your voice and your thoughts, yes even the ones about how grotesque I am. The legendary part of me can hear everyone, and sometimes even reach out to them. Like you.

Well, where were we? Ah, birth. Don't even ask, I don't know myself. Hey, don't be annoyed at me! Do you remember your birth? Good. Anyways, my parents, obviously a Machop and a Moltres, both thought that if a male regular Pokemon and a female legendary bred, a legendary would pop out of the egg. My father was elected to be the Pokemon for this job.

It was hard, once I came out of my egg. My mother was disgusted and flew away, but who can blame her? My name was Matres(s) for Pete's sake! My father stayed with me, raising me from a chick to a healthy full-grown bird.

I left him, telling him I needed to explore the world and I was just burdening him. He argued vehemently but in the end, I won. I actually ran into my mother in the skies. She challenged me to a battle and, of course, she won. I fell out of the skies, on fire, may I add, and into the forest.

I pledged that when I ran into my mother again, I'd be a seasoned fighter. But, I can't seem to get the type match-ups down. Hey, you seem like a good trainer. Will you come and challenge me?

After writing this, I think it might make a good opening for an RP. What do you all have to say?

The first two paragraphs are a bit confusing, since first you talk about the pokemon and it's trainer, than jump to the reader all of a sudden. But besides it, I think the story worked out pretty great!

As for the RP part, it could, if you added more detail and depth to it, like what kind of world is around you, what are the other RPers, and so on.

Neverlight was added :3

And for those of you who stalk me (creeeeeeps) I've been doing a 3 day writing challenge in my journal, starting with this post - I'm only on day three, but I'm having fun.

And my ever caring mom shared with me Steven King's Top 20 rules for writers

If any of you guys want to read it :3

(PS, you can share stuff like this to the group too, articles and dodads to improve writing...

ooooh and maybe when I'm done with my 30 day writing challenge, I'll make a contest thingie for the group)

If you can read this, you know how to read.

That sounds like a great idea!

I've already read your first day, and I must say it was pretty great. Now I'm moving on to the next two days, but my best guess would be - they're as great as the first! You're a truly wonderful writer. I wish I could see some mistakes to point out, but my level of writing isn't anywhere close to yours, so I don't..

First Challenge!

I've decided to challenge some of you! :D

I want you to write a short story together. Nooooo, not ALL together yet. In groups of two or three.

How to do it? Open a google docs, or one of those word typing pad things (i forgot the site everyone was using, so I'm calling it FlockWrite). Each person in the group uses a different color to write (A is black, B is blue).

There's two main rules:

-You may NOT edit, delete, or change what the other person has written. You can ask them
-You MUST follow the thread of the story, though each person can add their own twists.

I advise you not stop writing together until your story reaches a lovely conclusion. And it can't be "AND THEN THEY ALL DIED" because....DM reasons.

You have two weeks.

[I'm using this as an attempt to get people in the group to work together for one project before I develop the rules of challenging each other.]


EDIT:
Made three shared google docs for this prompt, because you can view history and see who did what. I included prompts Kinda.

Group 1
Group 2
Group 3

If you can read this, you know how to read.

In the challenge post, I created three groups :3 you can change your prompt if you want, that was just a base. Change with your color though so I know you changed it.

Hey, I'm a writer!
Username: ZephyrTenjoin
What I am looking for here: Someplace to improve my work, people to help me improve, and a general fun time.
A sample of my Writing: (put in a link or a spoiler)This is a script for an old comic idea, so it's not well written, but It's good enough.

"I see that you have found out our great mystery." Sparrow murmured, stirring his tea. "Your majesty, with all due respect, where has the crown Princess gone? I mean like, how can one munchkin disappear into thin air?" Shadow asked. "That, is something you must find out yourself. King Sparrow said. "you passed your test with flying colors, so I have no doubt that you can solve this. I'm sending you on a quest, to retrieve the crown princess Shade. But you'r not going to be alone." Snapping his fingers, a trapdoor opened and an animal was lowed on chains. It was a munchkin, but dressed in a warrior's vest, fish scales, with breeches, and covered in dried blood and scars. His eyes were closed, except for one glowing green eye, set into his forehead.

I'm a lone writer most of the time, I'm working on a story, so I'll post the first chapter tomorrow for some editing help from you guys.

If it would make you happy,
I'll give my most precious thing to you.


Even if it turns out we can't meet for a second time,
A smile will always bloom in my heart.
Goodbye..

~Gummy~

That is fine too. I just want people to get a sense of each other before I introduce challenge types.


A couple examples of what I'm thinking for after this:

Duels: Each member can challenge another to write a story/poem from a prompt of their choice. However, the challenger also has to write from a prompt the other person selects.

Wars: Forming a "team" to edit and check your work, both teams work to write the best short story for _____ prompt.

Oh, I did this activity before in Chinese class:
There are two teams,each with an equal number of people. One team tries to tell a story with a good plot, with each person saying only one sentence while the other team tries to mess it up.
Basically:
Team A is the story teller, Team B is the story wrecker.
Person #1 writes something, and then Person #2 from team B tries to lead the plot astray.
Makes sense? :>
