I know we have Current-Works-in-Progress but it seems a little bit vague. I would really love to hear what everyone's stories are about!

This is more like the blurb that goes on the back than a synopsis, but anyway here it is.
Now I had better go write.

Yes, it's actually had several titles, but I finally found one that fits and sounds okay.
Restrained or Protected

Then I'll have to make sure I finish writing it. It's nice to know that someone wants to read you book before you have even written it.

That sounds very interesting! I follow you on pinterest and I was wondering about your book. I am writing three books. One is a novel, one is for the Five Magic Spindles contest, and one is for NaNoWriMo. Here is the synopsis for the fantasy novel.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be forced into a marriage? Scarlett doesn't want to know, but unfortunately she does. Fed up, she decides to be a bandit in another city. Life is good, until a slave dealer kidnaps her and sells her to the royal family. The royal family has two twin sons. One wants to help Scarlett do the right thing. But the other brother is the one who will become king, and he wants to help Scarlett...further her bandit career.

I am working on a good synopsis for my WIP, The Clockshifter. Do any of you have any pointers on how to make this one better? Technology and innovation have revolutionized modern world of the Confederation of Facta-Est. Lyric Valvo has lived in the Building her entire life. That changes when she is tossed back in time and recruited into the military. Stuck back in time, she learns of a prophecy given by someone called the Clockshifter. This person has more of a connection to the future than she thought, and his agenda is less than friendly. that sounds super interesting!!!!!

The other story I am writing is about Sleeping Beauty for the Five Magic Spindles contest.
Alexandria is a servant in the palace. But when a young man visits and claims to be her uncle, she learns she wasn't always a servant. As a baby, her royal parents sent her away to protect her from a curse made by her aunt.
let me know what you guys think.

You girls have some really awesome ideas, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to put them on here, especially if you want to publish... They have a copyright now on all the stuff we're posting - and it's public.

We're writing waaaaay too much right now but here's a few of our stories: The first is finished and in the editing process...it doesn't have a set title right now but it's a retelling of the twelve dancing princesses with each being their own fairytale heroine (Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, etc) plus a few extra characters and a dragon. It was a very large and complex cast! The next....is also looking for a set title but its still in the writing process and is about a warrior who is hired to protect a young prince when the king tries to kill him for...various reasons. The last we do actually have a title for, The Farthest Star and its a prologue to a series I'm planning to write later. 'After his mother dies, young Psidael finds himself leaving his hometown in search of fresh places and adventures. But the people his meets, the friends he makes and the enemies that hunt him, may all be more than he bargained for.' We're also working a Five Magic Spindles story but....the details haven't exactly been smoothed out yet!

what do you mean by they have a copyright The important part of what I mean is that you can't publish or you have to give THEM credit for what you're doing as well. Because you posted parts of your stories on here, and so it's legally theirs, not just yours.

*blinks* I don't know. You'd probably be okay if you reword the synopsis, but otherwise they have the rights to it now. Same with the title. It's all in the Terms and Agreements that you signed to get an account here, if you have the patience to get through all that legalese. I didn't - my mom and I scrolled through it and she explained things as we went along. Hence the warning.

But if they want my synopsis's they can have them, they were incredibly vague anyways.

From what I can tell, we keep the rights to all user content, but they are allowed to use whatever we post in connection with the website. Like in promotional stuff, or having it on their site? At least that's how I understood it...

At least that's how I understood it... So...I am okay to still use my title? I read some of the terms and conditions to see what it was about but I didn't understand them.

Titles can't be copyrighted, unless they are a trademark that is. There is more than one book called Resistance out there.

I think you do that by making it a trademark. I wouldn't know for sure. Anyway Proboards isn't going to copyright our titles.
