    What do I need to know/learn/do in order to get a job as a Gamekeeper?

    What courses should I take? What experience do I need? What recommendations should I get? Will living quarters be provided on the estate or do I need to buy/rent a place of my own? What about guns? What type should I get and how do I go about this, etc? Sorry for all these questions, but I...

    Do Gamekeepers live on their estate? Or do they have to buy/rent a house?

    I'm interested in getting a job as a Gamekeeper. Of course, I know it's a heck of a lot of work and requires various diplomas and courses, etc. Still, I want to give it a shot and I'm looking up info on the Internet but am not coming up with too much data. So, I thought to ask here from any...

    Writers: I have a problem with character development?

    So far, reviewers say that I have it best with narrative. Dialogue and character development is low whenever I write and all my characters come across as cliche and stereotyped. So how can I change this as I have a passion for writing, especially fantasy, adventure, romance novels. I read TONS...

    I'm lost in the first round of Elder Scrolls: Oblivion? How do I get out and...

    ...join the king? I've installed Oblivion on my laptop but I stupidly cannot escape the Natural Tunnels. You know, the first ones that lead out of the prison cell you start in? I've collected all the stuff I can, fought a few rats, and even snatched something small from a guard. However, I...

    How can I save a game in Elder Scrolls: Oblivion?

    I just installed it on my laptop and everything is working fine. Still learning how to use it with the letter keys and stuff. Only problem is that I can't figure out how to save a game so that in case I want to exit it and return later, I can get back to the spot where I left off. Any advice...

    In all honesty, what do you think of this magical object I invented for a story of mine?

    It's for this story title that sprung to mind one evening called "A Thread of Silver Shadows". Within it, there's this magical object/thing I made up. It's basically a silver thread that renders certain magical powers to whatever it's sewn into. The thread can't be destroyed nor can whatever it...

    What would you think of a fantasy novel from a castle's point of view?

    The other day I had this crazy idea to write a fantasy story from a castle's point of view since any fantasy story becomes cliche due to the insane amount of fantasy novels out there. Thus, I thought about doing something rather different for a change. It would be about Castle Tintagel in...

    Poll: Which title sounds the best in your opinion?

    All the titles bellow are set in a middle ages-type of fantasy world similar to Middle Earth but not as ancient kind of, if you get my meaning. 1) Archangel's Apprentice (series title) 2) Conqueror's Creed (another series title) 3) Champion's Creed (one more series title) 4) Ferrell the...

    Poll: Are you looking forward to the "Game of Thrones" TV Series?

    While this may be common knowledge already, I just found out a few days ago that a brand new TV Series is being made based on the novel called A Game of Thrones. I did not like the books because they were far too nitty-gritty for my tastes, however the official HBO trailers were something else...

    What on earth is this 'Mystery Missile' so often discussed nowadays?

    Could this famous (or infamous) Mystery Missile that was recorded by an American pilot have been an amateur's attempt at an Iron Man suit? I know this sounds incredibly far-fetched, but if you watch the video when it veers off while already in the air, it looks sinisterly similar to Tony Stark's...

    What do you think of the following story blurb? Is it just too typical?

    I need a little advice before I write the story as I don't want to waste my time. I did some research, but I'm still uncertain because there may have been one or two novels that escaped my mind. The blurb is bellow. --------------------------------- TITLE: Fusion PLOT: Quentin Striker is just...
