Writing a Harry Potter Fanfiction, names for a Slytherin girl?
In my Fanfiction I am writing I need some name ideas for a girl in Slytherin. I need a first and last name and the name cannot be any name that was used in the books. Her appearance is black wavy hair, pale skin, and bright blue eyes. She is thin and about 5'6. Thanks!
What would be a good goth name for a girl?
Keep Ann as her real name and maybe make her choose a nickname for herself if she is actually a goth, like I don't know, a character fromn a gothic novel for example? Lady Ruthven (from The Vampyre by John Polidori)? Or How about Satania? lol I'm sorry but I have to give you a link to this! and I'm gonna translate for you because unfortunately it's in French: Girl: I'm Satania, I'm 2300 BC but according to my idiot parents' calendar I'm 16.5 Boy: I'm Demonio, supposedly Christophe, how embarrassing! Girl: I'm calling out all the Goths. On Saturday night, we have a satanic night with a german shepherd sacrifice and beer on demand. The rallying sign will be a dead chicken at my window. Boy: if its head is cut off, it means it's been cancelled. Girl: (phone rings) It's Beelzebuth.... (pause) We can't get the german shepherd.... instead we'll have a hamster and non-alcoholic champagne.... Whatever... Tuesday night I'm getting my (female part) pierced.... Boy: Yeah, me too..... What's a (female part)?
What is Aslan's "other name"?
Aslan's name in Edmund and Lucy's world refers to God or maybe Jesus. Most likely Jesus for example: when Aslan was sacrificed by the witch and then came back to life later (in the lion the witch and the wardrobe), it seems awfully similar to how Jesus was crucified and resuscitated 3 days later and not to mention how Aslan disappeared and promised to come back when Narnia was in need, like Jesus who promised to return. It might also refer to God because in the first book it said Aslan created Narnia.
How did you become a good writer?
Same way you get to Carnegie Hall.Three steps to repeat: read, write and edit.Certainly being fluent in the language you have chosen to write in is key, and that starts with reading a lot of good writing so you can recognize it if you see it in your own work. If you read Mencken and Thurber and C.S. Lewis and Asimov and Nabokov (careful about translations, and careful about assumptions - Nabokov wrote Lolita in English), you will absorb vocabulary and pick up a style that is right for you. There's nothing magic in my short list; I only mean that the more truly great writing you read, the better models you'll have.Then write. Write and write and write. I know that writing has made me a better writer in the past four years. I've written close to 1000 answers, and probably more comments than that. I just find it much easier to write now than I did a short time ago. Sadly, I can no longer stop writing, even within a given answer, and have said many times that I can pack 100 words worth of ideas into a concise 1500 word entry.But it's embarrassing for me to be asked this question, not because I think I'm a bad writer, but because I haven't consistently (or even often) carried out step three: edit. Rewrite. Take words out unless they are necessary. Use simple phrases where possible. Don't use the same word over and over again unintentionally. I think I write good first drafts on Quora. They made me a Top Writer. I think I'm a 90th percentile writer (though that's obviously true as long as I get to pick the group I'm being compared to, whether that's "all humans", or "all Quorans", or all the people arguing on the internet, etc. Quora has been kind enough to arrive five or six of my answers to be published on Forbes and Slate and Huff Post. I am given whatever time I have asked for to clean up the answer before it goes to one of those sites. And I make lots of changes. I think those answers got lifted into the 94th percentile. And that's good enough. (Note also that if you have a friend who can help, or Simon and Shuster will pay someone to help, having an editor is invaluable, because they have fresh eyes. You can usually reject their edits if you like.) I wish I could write like some other Top Writers, or even like Umberto Eco, et al. But I wish I could play the piano like Elton John. I just didn't practice enough to come close, and there is an outer limit based on natural ability, of course.
