Some great stories here. I must admit I haven't done much more with mine. I really want to tie it in, albeit loosely, with what's going on with SoH which really means waiting till we're closer to launch. I'd also like to have my main character's name reserved as well, before splashing it around all over the internet
😉
Use a placeholder instead.

The Court of Stars and Snow((this sounds really cool but I can`t imagine a story right now. I need help with this. Can somebody start and write the first 2 or 3 sentences please?))
They looked at the ancient artifact frozen in stone, talking excitedly about the proof that Earth was a seeded planet. Then began setting up the molecular reassembler machine, that would bring this find to life once more....
Wow this is great. Thank you.

Interlude: Do you mind comments interspersed between chapters/parts? This is looking pretty good so far to me.😉
not at all
I actually have been thinking about offering that if somebody would like to give a keyword I would somehow weaving it into my plot
(Always was fun for me - I did that writing poems, that a person gave me a word and I wrote a poem about it - or during my pen and paper role playing time I improvised with the story asking for keywords from the other players at the beginning to form a plot with those single words
That sounds great, especially as a muse for writers. We used to do that in the writer's critique group I chaired for a number of years. Give a keyword, or phrase I tell you true...

by the way
😉 I am looking forward reading from you again🙂 (not that I have to do the whole filling here😉 )
Oh, er, ok. Guess that means I have to finish the story, or at least do another part of it! That was just the prologue of a story I was considering writing to go along with my superhero one, or maybe merge with it in some way - it's all up in the air at the moment

guess I go first.
The City of Night and NightmareThose who dwell within its walls call it the City of Night, long ago it had another name, but that was before darkness enshrouded the land in eternal night. None of them remember its original name, nor that it was the great legendary city of light shining on top of the proverbial hill. They have long forgotten that it was the worlds destination to gain fame and fortune. Nor do they recall the legendary wealth, power and abundance for all who lived within its walls.
Its reputation of lavishness drew people to it like moths to a flame. Its great walls protected its citizens while its armies marched across the lands putting down tyrants and spreading peace and prosperity to all. They do not remember, but I do, I also remember their sloth and hubris that allowed me to gain entrance to their city.
But that was long ago, and those same walls that kept its enemies at bay keep its citizens trapped within, fearful of what lies outside, fearful of the unknown. They no longer enjoy the legendary lavishness their ancestors enjoyed, now they fight over scraps in the streets, and those famous golden armies of old, my armies now, marching out to conquer spreading the darkness and my rule with them.
No one else remembers that great city, I remember, for I am Nightmare, and this is now my city, my capital, the City of Night and Nightmare.
sounds like an epic start
The House of Shadow, Wind and Smoke - Tireen had to surpress the urge to laugh about that name. Of course, it was normal on Noctaraz that at the age of 17 one had to go through the trial of Houses. It was that ancient ceremony which decided about the future and fate of any Noctarian. A Ceremony, which through a combination of ancient magic and boring to death politics the Houses picked their share of each age group.
He was picked by this one! The Grand Mage explained him, that his spiritual essence and mental structure and of course his personality was so special, that he would not fit in any other house. Basically that meant, that since he did not belong to any of the big families and also not to any of the obvious stars of his class he was cast to that one House which did not really matter to anyone.
Just great! Of course, with his black curly hair, slender limbs and not too big build he was no one, who drew attention. Also he felt, that his facial features where a little bit too soft for his taste though he was pretty satisfied with his bright green eyes. Eyes so intense, that it seemed to others like he saw through all the shells right into the core of another persons being.
He liked it, how people sometimes became nervous and more and more uncomfortable when he was looking into their eyes, while talking to them. He sighed and shaked his head slightly. His youth was over since now 20 minutes and he was loosing time by standing around, contemplating about his exterior features.
A little bit annoyed with his display of emotion he pushed those thoughts away and pushed a button on his bracelet which opened his AI panel. a small display made of hard light appeared above his bracelet and with a short thought he made it open the city map.
It was time to find out, where his new center of occupation was located at. It took a moment and then the map began to move on the screen and showed him the route all the way through the city until it finally stopped at a certain place. There the map changed into a 3D feature of the building he was searching for, than went back to a full view of the city which showed the route from here to there. Again a short sigh escaped him.
That was getting better and better. No surprise the Headquarter of that house was the only one he never saw before. That place was so far away it was fair to doubt that it even was really considered part of the city. A fact that showed him again, how important his House was since the importance was shown by how close to the city center a house was located. Well, no sense in dwelling in self pity now - he would have to find his way and the bright side was in a House like that he had a good chance of not disappearing in insignificance because of the competition. Especially since he was only one of three people which where chosen by the House of Shadow - which they called themselves short - this year! Well, always look on the bright side.
to be continued...
