Yay yay yay~ You sound fun; nice to meet you, Nefelibata!

I love the the Riordan series, too. They're all awesome! Glad to see another Zelda fan around, as well~ I mainly favour A Link to the Past(honestly, mostly 'cause of nostalgia) and I've recently (reluctantly) gotten into the 3D games, specifically Breath of the Wild. We also happen to have the same favourite school subjects, what a coincidence!

Anyway, welcome to the CB! See you around,

Ciao~

Thank you!

(I was reluctant to get into the 3D games as well, but once I tried them I couldn't get enough of them!)

Welcome to the CB Nefeilbata! You sound awesome (as anyone who reads Cricket is) and I can't wait to see you (or write you, technically) around here! I see you play piano, and I do too! What level do you see yourself on? Also, I am so glad you are reading the Keeper series - SO GOOD! Do you ever write stories/scripts that you animate? I'm helping my friend out with an animated story from a script, and I was wondering if you had any tips. Any way, I'm so glad I got to meet you and I'll look foward to typing you!

I've been playing piano for almost 10 years, so I'd say I'm pretty good. My favorite type of songs to play are upbeat fast-paced ones. What about you?

Yes, I do make scripts and screenplays for my animations! I'll try to give you some tips!

These tips are just my personal opinion, you don't need them to influence anything if you don't want to. :)

1. Every character should influence something plot relevant in the story, even if it's a side character. (Useless characters clutter up the story.)

2. Avoid stereotypical plot twists! People want something unique, and not overdone. Trade in the usual ("It was all just a dream", "I thought he hated me but he's in love with me", etc.) with something out of the ordinary ("The mentor was the real antagonist", "The narrator was the villain telling the hero's story", etc.)! (Also remember to slightly foreshadow the plot twist, whatever it may be.)

3. Have a good motive for the villain and hero! Let's be honest, people don't just become like that without a cause. 

Well, that's the three main ones that come to mind. If you want more, or need help with anything else, just ask! :)

 

(Also I wanted to say 'Hello' to whichever Admin is reading this. I hope you're having a wonderful day! <3)

Thank you Nefelibata! I'll me sure to remember your tips! I definitely haven't been playing piano as long as you, maybe 5ish years, but I'm trying my best to get better each day. By the way, you seem like an awesome writer/animator! I'm sure you'll fit right in in the CB. <333
