  i understand that the story needs to be more medieval, but are there any other limits? can we include magic/necromancy? are there certain characters to use or do we all use OCs?

  In the first place, magic is disallowed except in specific situations which should be cleared first. In the second, this thread contains the list of members in the roleplay, who may or may not have provided information on their characters. While not required, it is encouraged to incorporate several existing characters into your story.

  -ghost- Yes, though ideally it should be limited to a medieval kingdom setting.

  Well, for one thing the realism isn't exactly good. Personally I prefer being able to explain why something happens, rather than leaving it ambiguous for the sake of the story. Another thing is the smoothness. I noticed that you depend almost entirely on a certain type of sentence, and that their length isn't much varied. I'd change up the grammatical structure a bit: maybe combine some sentences here and there, and use verbals a bit more. To improve your writing style, I advise analyzing Glacial and IGEBM's writings to see how they do it.

  I'm afraid you won't place very high, but that was actually better than it could have been.

  IGEBM I don't really care, actually As long as I'm confident in my own abilities as a writer, others' works that may be bet...

  woosh_ • 2023-10-12 17:16:24

  

  Yeah, that's a good attitude to have. Either way the kingdom will have some pretty good lore when all is said and done.

  woosh_ This is going to give IGEBM a run for his money.

  The word limit is in place to encourage entrants to create a thorough and detailed story, which is the main point of the jam.

  I cannot, due to the minimum word count. He still has nearly 50 days left in which to lengthen it, however, so as long as he gets it past 1k words by then, it'll be fine.
