I'm a software engineer by day. I've always enjoyed reading and writing, especially sci-fi, fantasy, and adventure. I'm working- very slowly and meticulously- on an epic pseudo-fantasy novel (series?) in the spirit of Tolkien and Jordan. Excerpts can be found on my blog.

comment Should a long flashback be written in first or third person?
Thanks, I will try that. I'm leaning towards keeping the third-person narrative too.

comment Not knowing a character's name. Would this be frustrating for the reader?
It has certainly been done with some success. Fight Club, for instance.

Reddit is worth mentioning too, as many sub-reddits are domain-specific and some are even dedicated to the Q&A format (r/AskScience, etc). Plus the site is massive, so you're pretty much guaranteed to find something related to your topic.

comment Is it so bad to end up with a “done before” plot?
I'm a actually re-reading The Hobbit now and I didn't see it until I got to the last bullet point. ;) Cross-genre "retelling" probably isn't as likely to elicit the "I've read this book" response.

comment Does this snippet meander too much?
I spent most of the time trying to figure out who's related to who. So, there's that.
