Hello there. Greetings and salutations. Other forms of ‘hi.’

@mineralizedwritings

Weird meeting somebody who kinda knows me and I haven’t known them XD
*inserts sheepish face*

Yeah, I was worried about that scaring people off… Sorry to weird you out. I originally started watching it cause y’all have really interesting stories and I wanted to get an account, it just took me awhile to gather enough courage to ask my parents about it.

I just like his name already XD

XD YES! Someone else with a similar brand of humor! If I ever get to it and finish it, I’d only recommend it to people who like puns and dad jokes, cause it’s gonna be full of them.

Oh, yes! I would love to here more!

I’m planning to do it as a comic (I don’t like the term ‘graphic novel’ cause it makes me think of extreme violence) or webcomic or both. Well, for plot I’m still working on it. I just know it’s a mystery that deals with the history of the country the main character is from and buried secrets. I’ve resigned myself to the fact that it’s at least going to be two books. I’ll make a topic about it later so I can explain more. (this post is already soooooo long XD)

1. Oof, that’s hard. I like writing Teilo cause he’s an oldest (as am I) and we have similar struggles. So probably because he’s the easiest to understand? Although, I like writing the rest of the gang almost as much.

2. Mwahahahaha. *mischeivous plotting hands*

3. Anything that is true and leaves the reader (and me) with hope. But I really like themes of redemption, forgiveness, every life has a purpose, God never fails, etc.

4. I tend to like music on a song by song basis, but I tend to listen to things from movie soundtracks, MercyMe, SidewalkProphets, Brandon Heath, For King & Country, Newsboys, Mandisa (whoever did Overcomer)

@loopylin

This is adorable I love it. I would totally read this series (even though I’m almost an adult lol)

Thanks!

Are you on a computer? I’m on an iPad so I think that’s different.

Yes, I am on a computer.

That’s a great idea! I have a lot of adhd characters, one with depression, and a couple who I think have autism, but I’m not sure. I think that forum would be super helpful.

Cool! I’ll do it, then. I have quite a few characters I think would benefit from this as well.

1. XD this question is very hard. I think it’s a tie between all of the main gang. Teilo is my favorite because we have similar struggles and I relate to him. Evander is my favorite because he’s willing to learn and encourage others. Derek is my favorite because of the snark and one of his struggles is also something I struggled with at one point. Luca is my favorite because he’s adorable and hilarious and curious. I haven’t developed Ingrid enough to say she’s a favorite yet, but when I do I’m sure she’ll be on here. =)

2. My favorite tv show is Thunderbirds Are Go. (Yes, I realize it’s main audience is below my age range, and it’s main villain is…not the greatest written villain. But I love the brother banter and the fact that they all have a decent relationship and they respect their grandma and look out for each other and they’re saving the world. Plus the fact that there’s a loyal, hilarious butler who knows crazy things because of his mis-spent youth.)

My favorite movie… hmmmm…. I really like Courageous, by the Hendrick brothers, all the Narnia movies, the original Spider-Man triology, and the Lord of the Rings movies.

3. ….I’m still growing up (in age, not height)… but I really liked The Girl Who Could Fly. When I was younger, I didn’t recognize the feminist messaging (or understand it). Besides that, I still like it, mostly.

@orielle21

Do you by any chance read or watch Tolkien? Just wondering what inspired your name. 😊

I have done both. The name is actually a nickname of mine given to me by my dad. We were watching one of the Lord of the Rings movies, and I was wearing a robe. He thought it made me reminescent of Gandalf, so he mashed Gandalf with my real name, and thus I was knighted (wizarded?) Gwyndalf the Wise. =)

That would be super helpful for me because right now my current WIP is based on a real life situation in which the man has a mental illness of some kind. I have never written about a character like him before and I want to do it accurately and in a considerate way.

Cool! After I finish replying to everyone I’ll make it a topic.

I don’t know if you have seen my introduction or not so I’ll be brief….I’m a full time barista trying to make time for writing, hanging with friends, learning Spanish, and watching the birds. 😊

I have, but honestly since sooooo many person have joined I have a hard time remembering which information goes to whom. I’ve learned some basic Spanish and forgotten it. I’ll probably be retaking it in the fall. Birds are cool. We currently have eight chickens. …what’s a barista? I have a feeling I should know this but I’m drawing a blank.

1. I have no idea. I have weird dreams, but none of them are job-related. If you’re asking about future careers, I’m still unsure. Maybe comic (graphic novel) writer and illustrator + researcher?

2. My favorite bird is the bluebird, both kinds. (Can’t remember if they’re eastern and western or northern and southern)

@esther-c

Hello!! (We suddenly just had a bombardment of people join KP! This is awesome!) I’m Esther: a volleyball-playing, violin-squeaking, dog-obsessed, homeschooled, God-loving, amateur writer!!

XD THE INVASION OF KP HAS BEGUN, MWAHAHAHAHA. I’m homeschooled too!

My writing is all over the place. My WIP is YA dystopian, but I have ideas for a his-fic, biblical fiction, and contemporary. I also have a fantasy that I worked on a for a while. (it is currently set aside and not my top priority)

Cool. I have read a couple of your YA dystopian chapters.

*hopes you’re also referring to my characters* Thanks!! XD

I do love Amidala. Ev… Ev confuses me. I think this is because (this is out of what I’ve read, I haven’t read all your chapters, I think I’ve only read to chapter five or six so far) he doesn’t use self-control, and this may be because of the role-models that he has (his parents). Any character/person in real life I really struggle to respect and enjoy their company if they do not demonstrate any self control. (This does not mean I think Ev is a terrible character. Please don’t take it like that.)

lol! I did the same thing… sshh… XD

XD *whisper shouts* INTERNET STALKERS UNITE!

1. Sea turtles are the best. If you’re asking which is better, it depends on the individual animal. I’ve met dogs I’ve loved and dogs I’ve hated. I’ve met cat I’ve loved and cats I hated. Although I guess I have to side with dogs, since my parents are allergic to cats…

2. Hmmmm. I’d probably go with unicorn. (Not that I have anything against dragons, I just have a really bad fear of heights, not to mention if it turned against me, I’d rather not become a BBQ.

3. We went to Colorado. I like mountains and forests a lot, and it’s really quiet. Not to mention the sunsets are really pretty with few clouds to block it.

4. I’m assuming this is if I couldn’t live in the country that I currently live in. I’d probably pick Israel. It would be really cool to see where events in the Bible take place, not to mention the climate is similar to where I live, and meditterean food is great. =)

@ folith-feolin

Nice to meet you I’m Folith-Feolin the brother of @otherworldlyhistorian. I am a public school student (grade 10) and an identical twin (my twin being the above-mentioned brother). I like quizbowl, am a history and internet nerd, I also collect odd trivia, and I like board/card/dice games and reading. I am working on a Lovecraftian adventure/mystery WIP and a board game. Although I do help out with worldbuilding and write poems/songs as well as the Appendix of my brother’s main WIP the Karvian Anthology

Cool. I think I’m older than you, barely. I’m homeschooled.

What does Lovecraftian mean?

I have read the worldbuilding topic that your brother started. I am impressed, it sounds really cool.

A forum on mentally ill/disordered/disabled characters would be a great Idea!

Cool! Thanks. I’m working on making it.

1. I like the Forbidden Island/Desert/Sky games, but I don’t know if they count as board games, so I’ll say Black Fleet.

2. I have no idea what a Schlieffen plan is, so I’m going to assume no.

3. A group of lemurs is called a conspiracy.

4. This question is hard. Probably C. S. Lewis, I could read fantasy, sci-fi, instructional, and books that encourage you. (I probably wouldn’t read his older writing)

And soundtracks… I like the Narnia movies’ music, WALLE, the Lord of the Rings (and Hobbit) music, Incredibles, and Cars

@mineralizedwritings

Oh, that’s great! That’s actually the final plan for my series too, if I ever get there. Webcomic or something similar. I never gave a second thought to the term “Graphic novel” until I started having to tell people I wanted to make one… then it dawned on me how bad it sounds XD.

Heh. The other thing it reminds me of is geometry… We don’t talk about geometry…

Yeah, relatable characters are the best to write! I have at least one thing to relate to with each of my mcs, so I enjoy them all in that way.

Absolutely! I just have to be careful sometimes or I end up with characters that are fictionalized versions of myself. That’s why most of my main to main-ish characters are male, the female ones almost always end up being a carbon copy of myself. XD

yeah I love all those too! I haven’t listened to sidewalk prophets though. Have you heard Mandisa’s song “stronger?” I personally like it more than Overcomer, although both are awesome. Also, have a favorite fk&c song?

I don’t think I have. I’ll have to listen to it now. What’s fk&c? (I’m not great with remembering band names, I remembered the ones I listed earlier because I was listening to them this week.)
