(A) My favorite author: Madeleine L'engle1
(B ) My preffered writing style: I usually write using "he" or "she" (sorry, forget which person's which, can you remind me please?), but I use "I" too sometimes. I like writing stories that take place in different universes or worlds, but not of the future. I add fantasy, action, mystery and some(times) romance, so it's all quite mixed up. The best story I've ever written (though it's in French) named Evelia, was one about a trader who found these beautiful flowers out of nowhere, and picked one for his beloved daughter, Evelia. I know, this sounds like Beauty and the Beast, but keep reading... A lion appeared, and told the trader, named Edouard Vraels, that if he wanted to keep the flower, he would need to send the first person he sees at home to the lion. Edouard agreed, thinking that he'd see his arch-enemy Alain. However, he is wrong. The person he does meet first was Evelia. Father and daughter have an argument; Evelia wants to go to the lion, but Edouard, of course, doesn't. And so Evelia runs away, with her best friend, and Alain's son, Malik. 2
This is supposed to be brief, so I'll keep it to that. But I will hint that the lion isn't actually a "lion", and that there's magic involved. It's all very confusing just like that, but if you read the story, which is much, much more than 6000 words, it would make more sense. 3
(C) My favorite song: It's actually the national anthem of Canada, in either French or English.4
(E) (i dont believe in D's) (that's a joke, i'm not serious) The best one-three sentences I've ever written: Love is so strange. It is like the waters of a lake. It could be so smooth, so beautiful, unless disturbed. But in three million years, this lake could be all dried up, and could become a dried-up valley, one with no more water.5
(F) The name and occupation of my favorite character: My favourite character that I've written about is named Ryan. He saved a world called Elleskamervo, or the Country of the Blue Sun. Unfortunately, he will join the stars in the sequels.

alright trekkie (i'm kidding) you're going back in time. here's the deal. the peasant wars were a series of conflicts between the common peasants of europe and aristocracy. because of an overturning of the social order, the downtrodden peasants, glavanized by martin luther's challenging of the roman catholic church, formed an army under Thomas Muntzer and challenged their lords and lieges. your soldier is a woman named Margaret, who fought in the peasant's armies. that's mainly set up. i don't require historical accuracy, but keep magic and such out of it. creativity is encouraged though. and this should be first person. margaret is a smart lady, and tough, as well as a bit of a smart alek. now go to town! and have fun!
