What kind of advice are you looking for? Plot, title, characters, technique...? :) Not sure I would be able to help, but I can do my best!

Sara Jesus (scjesus) | 16 comments characters. I wanna that my heroine be a strong woman

Well, let me start with this: no one likes a perfect character. I HATE it when the heroine is: funny, sarcastic, strong, witty, but BEAUTIFUL without trying, and "for-some-reason-all-the-men-are-madly-in-love-with-me-and-I-don't-know-why!" and stuff. Make her strong, but realistic. Give her flaws.

Maybe make her rude or lying, or have some "bad" thing about her, in addition to being tough. :)

Feliks (dzerzhinsky) That's a pretty large ambition. What's your level of writing experience?

Sara Jesus (scjesus) | 16 comments I' m not a perfessonal writer... But I like to write a lot. And I'm very perfectcionism !

I for one like clichés sometimes :) but I hate mary sues who are the perfect women but think they are not. who havehad such a bad childhood but are still awesome human beings even though they try not to be. who are beautiful creatures underneath the scars with a perfect character.

I think you should just write with what you're comfortable with :) its all up to the writer to make a character awesome or horrible.

Sara Jesus (scjesus) | 16 comments "It was the year 768, the longest year in living memory. Caesar Augustus ruled a vast empire. No suspicious, the tragedy that would knock your door. Agrippina, pragmatic daughter of Germanicus, lived hidden in exile along with his beloved imperial family. No idea that in the near future would be that it would be in place of grandmother ..." - this is some lines of the story

M.E.R M.E.R (margaretellisryamond) | 2 comments This sound awfully like a book series I'm currently reading: A Discovery of Witches. I'd recommend you read it to get some ideas. Good luck! :)
