(Just submitted my second finals paper and ahhhhhhhhhhh)

Oh I’ll definitely come back to the Twins. They’d probably murder me in my sleep if I didn’t. Lol.

So, it currently doesn’t have a title, so it’s just Project Tap Faerie right now. But there’s the blurb.

The prophecy wasn’t real.But then, it also wasn’t not real.

Klomsedt…

@elishavet-pidyon awesome because I’ve actually been thinking about what to do when I reach the stage of beta readers and such and im like “what do I doooo” 😂

@koshka ooh I wanna hear about it (but also hope u eventually go back to the twins. I love my boysss 🤣)

Lucille

Lucy thought for a moment. She jumped down from the crow’s back.

Runt’s nest was literally poorer than the other nest from before; there weren’t any jewelry or household items lodged in the branches. But there were some pieces of ribbon, twine, and something that looked suspiciously like long strands of hair.…[Read more]

congratulations on the book!!! Like elishavet said if you need an alpha reader i’ll be there!

Ah! Yes, poor thing.

I can bring him into the food area if I need to. I think he’s very lost at the moment.

Mel

Mel climbed up without asking Runt’s permission. She found a spot next to his shoulder and held gently onto his feathers. At first the crow was confused, and stumbled around in a circle, trying to spot the little girl. She leaned her head out into his field of vision and he made a playfully surprised squawk.

Lucy climbed up w…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon

Sorry to leave Wilhelm hanging! This must be remedied

Elishavet- yup! It’s the first destined book! And it’s just like the first draft I’ve ever truly “finished” like there are still scenes needing to be added and stuff, but it’s mostly cohesive

Yayyyyyyy! *happy dances* 🎉 🎵 This is so exciting. I’ve wanted these books written ever since you shared their mood oards. XD

If you need br…[Read more]

ill totally need to come back and start brainstorming more on here, cuz I feel I’m missing that community again of writing. I’ve also joined Prowriting Aid’s community, but it’s not as tight knit as here so I miss yall. And yall know a lot about my project already!

I get that. I’ve actually joined Young Writers Workshop this ye…[Read more]

so good to hear about your works!!

1) I think this is from the Bible? I’m guessing the book of Ezekiel. It sounds Minor Prophety.

2) I have no idea.

3) This could be several people. Augh. I know the Captain from Tin-Tin says it, but as for anything more specific, I’m at a loss. It could also be Padra from the Mistmantle Chronicles.

4) Les Miserables?

5) It’s from Henry…[Read more]

2) “It will be rather a bore, I expect. Love and marriage, and all that sort of thing, is rather a necessary nuisance in its way.”

SHE’S ALIVE!!!

Beautiful!

Beth got 1 (Stabbish!!)

Power got 4 (Feeeeechiiiiiiiieeeee)

Shadow got 2 (so now Aragorn is in Dracula….hmmm)

Overall I am impressed by how many knew Screwtape, and y’all’s quoting powers. I didn’t pick easy quotes. Congratulations to all.

@Power, tag you’re it!

Alrighty Y’all! Time for answers.

1. Elizabeth, Pride and Prejudice

2. Edmund, Prince Caspian, Narnia

3. Aragorn, The Fellowship of the Ring, LotR

4. Francis, Men of Iron

5. Halt, The Ruins of Gorlan, Rangers Apprentice

6. A Feechie, Secret of the Swamp King, Wilder King…[Read more]

On other news, Tolkien keeps stealing my character names.

real

although I steal names from everyone else so……

Oh yes, Portals! I should read more of it. The bit I read was delightful.

I probably should not be as comforted by that as I am.

Published authors have probably felt the same about their stuff. If that’s not comforting, I don’t know what is. 😛

And I spelled it differently, so there. XD

Problem solved

Portals: When My Story Ate Me. The serial story I’ve semi-periodically shared on here. I should work on HoA(Viktor’s story), but I have zero motivation for that one. They’re just sitting in a friend’s shop at the moment waiting for their parents to find them. Portals is a more manageable size, so little bites first.

I love collecting ideas from novels published between from the 1910s-50s. Mostly 40s and 50s. I keep notes from them in a notebook and I’ve done this for months; it’s a lot of fun. I often collect dialogue because there’s something very identifiable about fictional dialogue from that time.

Oh, I like this idea. That is epic. I’ve n…[Read more]

What project are you working on?

Good job, friend 👍

Watching to make sure you’re held accountable 👀

I’m working on Portals and/or contract stuff. It’s late here, so I won’t be on for long but thought I’d give myself some accountability.

I just opened a WIP doc, misread a name, and thought a sibling had written some sort of fabulous crossover fanfiction in my WIP doc. I was so happy.

This poor WIP. I preferred a non-existent orphaned fin-fic to it. What a terrible brain-parent.

On other news, Tolkien keeps stealing my character names.

1. Hmm, sounds like Pride and Prejudice.

3. Dracula?

4. My best guess is King Lear, although that’s a play and not a book. Still, the ‘Tom Fool’ sounds close to ‘Poor Tom.’

10. Is it Screwtape Letters?

2) Edmund from Prince Caspian

6) One of the Feechiefolk from The Secret of the Swamp King

9) Morley the cooper from Sir Kendrick and the Castle of Bel Lione

10) Screwtape from The Screwtape Letters

Hmmm, stabby. 😉

*brandishes pencil*

I only know 8, because if I am correct, it is from one of my absolute favorite short stories. Is number 8 from The Wooing of Sophelia Stupe, said by Ollister Pembrick?

Unfortunately, I helped you pick these quotes so I can’t play this round. I will stalk this place until the next round. 😁

This probably isn’t even a wolf-focused story, but I’ll guess The Wolf Wilder because I want you to look it up and read it. It’s so good.

This is precisely why I picked vague quotes. Need good book recommendations. XD

Hmm, looks like you got a few right. I shall refrain from sharing answers for a day in case someone finds this randomness.

Get ready for some random ideas

1. Pride and Prejudice (something tells me it’s from something else, but I might be right)

2. Sassy. Hmm. Is this the part in Fahrenheit 451 where Montag talks with Clarisse?

3. The only wolf story I can remember off the top of my head is The Wolf Wilder. This probably isn’t even a wolf-focused story,…[Read more]

Sniper

The creature moved much faster than we’d initially seen it move and swiped our weapons outta our hands with its front claws. Then it grabbed Rosalind and charged off with her.

Emmerich ran to chase it. I held him back. “Wait,” I growled. “You saw how fast that thing ran when he decided to attack us. You’ll never catch up with…[Read more]

Hey girl!! It’s good to see you around. :] And good to hear you’re doing well.

You finished it??

Congrats on hunkering down and finishing the draft!! That’s crazy… I can’t believe there’s a full version of your first book out there. You have to get on here when it’s done so I can read it.

You haven’t hurt November too much,…[Read more]

Heeyyyyyyy! So good to see you!

Congratulations on completing your draft! *Throws confetti* That is absolutely amazing! ✨🎉👏🏻 Have you celebrated ? Rewarded yourself?

Some questions… Is it the Destina project or a different one? I don’t want to asume lol. Also, second draft, is it an edited version or a second book? Just…[Read more]

Lol. I think I’m gonna go for dangerous.

Emmerich

Emmerich’s grip tightened on his sword’s handle. He moved in front of Rosalind, preparing for any attacks from the creature.

A moment passed in which the creature stared at the group and the group stared back at the creature. In the next moment, the creature moved with a speed its p…[Read more]

There’s one I’ve dubbed the Storyteller

Who’s captured me like no other.

So if the Storyteller ever wants to share stories

Hii! I’m sorry, it’s been a while. I suddenly got busy with extra school stuff, but I hope to reply faster when summer comes.

Huntress

“There is a creature,” Rosalind pointed to something lumbering through the trees.

“What is that?” I asked as it got closer. It was huge, and pale-colored, with long legs. It moved fairly slow, so it didn’t seem predatory….yet.

Sniper’s tail lashed and his talons tensed in anticipation, either of a fight or of a ter…[Read more]

Lol, it’s okay, take as much time as you need.

Rosalind

Sniper and Huntress explained their birth planets, but Rosalind and Emmerich only became more confused. Sniper made the assertion that they were from different galaxies, then said, “But what matters is that we’re ‘ere, now, and neither of us knows where here is. We’re gonna h…[Read more]

Lol. Latin is fascinating.

Collecting slang sounds brilliant and fun. *Takes recommendation* I’ve played with coloquialisms a little, but in a useful way. I shall have to try that.
