Okay, this is going to be my first story on the site, I don't have a title for it yet but if you have any ideas,please tell me. The story is dated back in the 1700's. It's a story about a prince (Edward) that is the moost eligable bachelor of the while country ( Give me ideas for the name of the country ). The country is between the borders of the scandenavian countrys and Arabian countrys. It Just signed a treatee with Soudie Arabia ang the young prince must now become the new king.

Um... I really think... that.... *blank*
You should have posted this as a summary elsewhere first off.... Secondly....
*Mind draws a long obnoxious blank and I forget how to solve equations*

I don't think you should have a time (i.e. 1700) without a country.... because if this is a false country then time doesn't really matter much.

"Soudie Arrabia"

Saudia Arabia (me thinks)

Honestly, if you can't figure out the country Idea and Edward come from, but then have a real country here, then... What the bloody motherloving hockey pucks woman?! You mispelled various words in the plot, and I'd hate to think of the story.

You should decide on whether or not the countries will be real or not, becaus eyou can't throw in random countries from Lala Daisy Land and then Saudia Arabia.

The plot seems similar to that of Romeo and Juilet and this new Tristan and Isolde. (Also that of Romeo and Winifred but that's entirely different).

So... enough said I believe... Enough... said.

Well... first of all, all the questions at the end show that you've got a lot of loose ends to tie up. I hope you have an idea of how to do that, that you're not telling us, or if you don't, then you really should sit down and think up solutions for that BEFORE you start writing.

Other than that, you have three girls (Teirrah, Ieda, and Amy) and only one guy (Edward), and unfortunetly, at the moment it sounds like you only have one of them as a "bad" character. That makes it so one of the girls is going to end up heart-broken and honestly, it creates problems for Amy just because Ieda is carrying Edward's child. It sounds to me like you have to somewhere in there make either Ieda or Amy another "bad" character so that at the end you don't have anyone telling Edward, "You idiot! You should have married so-and-so!" Either that or you can't ever have Amy tell Edward and have her end up a "martyr for love" type of character (basically, have her never tell and be happy that Edward is happy with whoever it is he ends up marrying).

Those are just the comments off the top of my head.

I agree with TBR that this sounds a little bit too much like Tristan and Isolde, just reversed because it's the guy that has to marry for politics instead of the girl, but I think you could make it different enough in the details and characters once you get into the actual writing of it.

Your right about the three characters. The plot of the three girls, are sortas messed up. I was thinking that Amy should be those jealous girls that are really posessive, but in the origional story, Teihran REALLY had some anger management problems. But my friend challenged me to rewrite the story to change the components to make it sound less like Tristan and Isolde. Even though now it's really confusing with adding all the loopholes. I should make less problems for now and focus on the mental characeristics of the characters with thier whole point in the story. Thx alot for the constructive critisism * i can't spell, i'm french* :D
