Hi, everyone! 'Tis Rach. I spent all of high school writing pseudo-sci-fi (fantasy in space!) and now I'm back writing fantasy of the traditional sorts. It feels good to be home in the subgenre that inspired me to write in the first place.
Title: I call it Knots as a joke. Now I'm seriously considering it.
Current word count: 15,000 or something like that.
How long I've been at it: Haha! Well, I finished my last novel in August of '09, wandered aimlessly, novellessly, until January when I came up with the preliminary version. Many attempts were made to start, and I just recently got the ball rolling in a direction that I like. So, perhaps a week for Version 56909342.9, since May 2010 for the general drift, since January for fundamental drift.
Description:: Follows the stories of some characters knotted up (haha, get it?) with a prince and his attempts to end a nasty feud between his family and another. Including but not limited to: the prince himself, who is ironically largely responsible for how bad the feud is in the first place; the prince's man, who is far better at being royal than the prince ever has a chance of being; a talented but cruel student of magic in the rival kingdom, in the servitude of that kingdom's logic but cold and shrewd heir apparent; and a young palace message runner in a foreign empire who was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time, poor thing.
The thing I like most about it?: It spans several kingdoms, two empires, several months, and a whole range of character types. So, it certainly gets around.
Introduce yourself!

I just want to say I'm really excited about this group!
Title: The Reason for Rain.
Current Word Count: For the entire story? Oh my, it's um, 10,446. I'm only on chapter four though, so give me some time!
How long have you worked on your novel?: Around the begining of September.
Description: Sage has outcasted herself her whole life. She hated the lies and back-stabbing friends so she left it all behind becoming the pessimistic girl she is. She left the world of ignorance for life on the web. Now Sage is being forced to move in with her newly-wed, goodie-good cousin for two months while her mom is away on a buiness trip. But can this really be a bad thing? Living in a mansion, no one ever home, the boy in the baseball feild?
Will Sage finally realize that friends in the real world can understand just as much as friends on the computer? Will she ever accept that real people really do want to be her friend and maybe more? Or will Sage cast herself from society and finally leave this gloomy, rainy world?
What is one thing you like most about this piece?: Um, I really likes all it's internal conflict and all the flaws in the main character. I always love having a main character who is wrong or not thinking clearly. I like for the audience to see inside the mind of the person who is mean or is outcasted by everyone. So, yeah.
