Hello! My name is Hannah Beth. I write romance (historical, fantasy, and contemporary) and retellings of classics and fairy tales. I can’t wait to get to know everyone!
God bless!
April 17, 2023 at 6:30 pm #140348Nice to meet you, Hannah! Welcome to KP. I’m sure you’ll meet some great people here. 🙂
I’m Solfyre, or Ava, or whatever you’d like to call me XD. I’m entering highschool in less than a month and homeschool with my little brother (who doesn’t write, sigh. He codes. But I shouldn’t care cause he’s working on stuff for my books XD) I write fantasy, sci-fi, historical fiction, basically all of the above with writing. I enjoy romance but don’t quite have the hang of it yet lol. I love anything dragons, wolves, and music (especially guitar). My cat, Stripes, enjoys sitting on top of my computer while I’m trying to type (lol, he’s doing it right now).
Aaaanyway, enough about me! I’ve got some newbie questions for you! 😃
1. What’s your favorite mythical creature?
2. Favorite fairytale?
3. What’s your WIP about?
4. Finally, what are some of your favorite books?
Follow your heart, but take your brain with you.

My WIP is a dystopian YA trilogy called the Endoxos Trilogy. Besides that though, I have many many other ideas for future stories. 😂
Anywhoooo, time for some newbie questions! 😄
1. Who is your favorite OC (original character) to write? Why?

April 17, 2023 at 6:45 pm #140353Welcome Hannah! It’s a pleasure to meet you! I’m Felicity, a homesteader and follower of Jesus. Though I don’t write sole Romance, lots of characters from my stories tend to fall in love, even some that I don’t want to! 😉 I write Historical, Contemporary, and non-magical Fantasy. I enjoy languages, SPRING, and creativity.
Mind if I ask a few get-to-know-you questions?
1. What is your favorite Historical time period?
2. Do you have a favorite Bible book?
3. Which is better: cursive or print?
Hope you have a great time on here! See you around!

April 17, 2023 at 8:02 pm #140365Sure! I should mention tho that I have NO first hand experience with romance *sigh* so I’m still getting the hang of it 😊
April 17, 2023 at 8:14 pm #140371Did you say a retelling of Anne of green gables? With blog posts? So a modern version???
I LOVE THAT SO MUCH!!!!! ❤️

You can do no wrong, we’re just here to have fun and love God! And yeah we do all sorts of things! There are character role plays, places where we share story ideas and share parts of our books, work through common author blocks, and places where we post memes and things!

"does anyone have any good ideas?"
"Oh yeah, but none for this"April 18, 2023 at 10:05 am #140390Great choices!
My favorite Historical time periods are Edwardian and Civil War, but I like others as well. Esther is a great book! My favorite Bible book is Revelations. 😉 I am currently trying to perfect my cursive, so that’s my favorite right now. Calligraphy is nice too!

April 18, 2023 at 12:39 pm #140407Hi Hannah! Welcome to KP!
I’m TheArcaneAxiom. I love math, searching for divine fundamental truth, and exploring that in my writing. I’m currently working with my sister on a fantasy multiverse project.
Questions:
You mentioned that you write fantasy occasionally, do you like hard or soft worldbuilding? (Soft being more concrete defined rules for the readers to understand, and soft meaning it’s more open ended possibility?)
What’s your favorite part of Anne of Green Gables story? Her earlier years in childhood and becoming an aspiring writer, or her years during the war?
What’s your favorite romantic tropes, and how do you avoid cringey clichés, or do you even perhaps embrace the clichés?
And last but not least:
Should a half of a second be called a first? And should perhaps two seconds be called a fourth?
(Btw, @princesachronicle22 , everyone knows the correct answer to the island question is ignore the sentimentals, and instead get a pilot, a plan, and a runway, and use the other two for whatever you wish, like some books to pass the time.)
He is perfect in Justice, yet He is perfect in Mercy, even when we fail Him. For this, He is good.
