Why hello there!
My name is Denali Christianson and I’m REALLY excited to be here!
I’m a follower of Jesus and proud of it! (I mean, aren’t we all here, though?)
I write high fantasy, am disturbingly obsessed with all things medieval weaponry, and am really into filmmaking!
I’m a devoted Tolkien nerd and want to learn elvish really really really bad (I’m also into languages if you couldn’t tell 😉).
I function on coffee, chocolate, salad, and the active torture of my villains. Oh! And lembas bread. Can’t forget the lembas.
And here’s where I forget everything else about me…
Anyways, I guess that’s all for the moment!
I had this fantasy that I was going to drop in all mysterious and like step out of the mist or something.
That’s too much work.
So here I am.
I was one way, and now I am completely different. And the thing that happened in between was Him.
Also…
Bumbling henchman?
Really?
“I am the villain.”
Idk where that quote comes from but that’s now how I feel… *tries not to look pointedly at that one character*
I was one way, and now I am completely different. And the thing that happened in between was Him.
@denali-christianson Heyy! Been too long since I’ve welcomed somewhere on here, seems like I’ll have to remake up my typical welcomes.
*ahem*
Hey, I’m Linyang, though most here call me Lin, and I’m a writer of almost all genres and formats!
Bruh, I was tempted to become a movie director once. What kinds of films do you make?
Also, villains yes lez go
Lately, it's been on my brain
Would you mind letting me know
If hours don't turn into days@devastate-lasting That is a MOOD. I always forget to welcome the new humans on my other forum and then feel perpetually guilty. Although then again, maybe they’re not humans? I for one am an elf. So there’s that… *realizes I’m ranting* I’m tired. Apologies. XD
ALSO can I just say that you are a cool person??? Your post says it all. 😂
*clears throat dramatically and then chokes on saliva*
Whyyy hello there Lin! Also Linyang is a seriously cool name and I appreciate it SO MUCH!!!! Ooh, all genres and formats? Classy. 😀 Do you have a favorite?
DUDE respect elevated 300%. What made you decide not to? I currently make short films and videos of figure skating (that is, me skating cuz no one else wants me to video them lol) and I’m hoping to start making book trailers for indie authors to help promote their books! But I’m currently extremely busy with my own indie book soooo… no time for that…
LITERALLY THOUGH is it a problem that my villains are more well-rounded well-developed characters than my MC’s??? *slams Mori (archvillain) into a cabinet* STOP BEING SUCH A GOOD CHARACTER GOSH
I was one way, and now I am completely different. And the thing that happened in between was Him.
Hey Denali! @denali-christianson
I supposed I would formally greet you, and say “welcome!” 🙂
~Unsung
No moment is wasted, that is spent on God's glory
Hello, my name is Power. May your enemies fear you, and your foes shrink back at you present. . . Okay!!, Now that I finished that brutally bad beginning (bummer) it’s fun time! I am also a lover of the art of medieval weaponry! (Nothing like having a good sword/knife/quarterstaff fight with someone) If you ever have a question about how or why a weapon was used, I’m your guy.
So what’s your favorite weapon? I love a glaive, or a guisarme. The later is such a well thought out and deadly weapon.
You will love what you spend time with.
@unsung Lol I suppose you should!!! XD Thank you!!! 😀
@power may your villains fear you, and your MC’s shrink back at your- okay now I’ll stop with the writers’ edition brutally bad beginning (bummer) XD. Nice alliteration by the way. Appreciate the immediate reference to battle and blood and all things medieval.YES A FELLOW MEDIEVAL WEAPON HUMAN!!!! *brandishes knife in greeting* Lol I’m an expert on all the ‘how’s’ of the weapons too! So next time I need an explanation on “why” I’ll remember to ask you. XD Reeee great question. *loses mind for 5 minutes while being indecisive* I’m sooo cliche but longswords. They’re just so beautiful and a good sparring match is literally the best thing ever. Although quarterstaffs and bows run an extremely close second. Although I have to say: glaives are IMMENSELY cool.
I was one way, and now I am completely different. And the thing that happened in between was Him.
@denali-christianson, @power, Okay, I don’t mean to be rude, but I just had to mention the katana! I absolutely love the katana, and it is my very favorite blade! XD Sorry, just had to say that.
No moment is wasted, that is spent on God's glory
I AGREE!!!! katanas are so cool!!!! That wasn’t rude at all, btw. ;D I love katanas. I just like swords better. XD
I was one way, and now I am completely different. And the thing that happened in between was Him.
@denali-christianson Aw haha thanks! Yeah, I’ve been ghosting the KP forum a lot lately, idk why. Busy writing, I ‘spose.
Hmm, short stories and novels are probably my favorite, and if it’s a mix of fantasy and crime and time travel or something mind-bending it’s really fun, haha.
Oh, you know, I decided to follow in the sensible path of a computer science major hhhhhhhhhhhh Okay but because also directing a movie, especially when you’re starting out, you’re risking a lot of money by doing it, so it’d honestly be safer to be an author, haha. But I’ll stick to exploring screenwriting and film scoring for now. And hey, it’s so cool that you make your own films! And figure skating is really pretty, heh. I used to want to be a figure skater.
Mm, yes, I recently got an idea for another book from the villain alone… *sigh*
Lately, it's been on my brain
Would you mind letting me know
If hours don't turn into days*drops through roof. Again. Don’t ask.*
WHY HELLO THERE!!!!
I can already tell from your witty introduction I shall like you! And yes, do ignore the bumbling henchman remark, though…I definitely was bumbling when I first joined…
Are I still bumbling??
Am I a Bumble??
What is a Bumble?
NEVERTHELESS!!!
I am Godlyfantasy12 but you can call me….
I just realized I have no nickname…
Ehhh. THIS CRISIS MUST BE FIXED POST-HASTE. Anywhoodle.
I too write fantasy, though I’m not into as much of the Medieval-ish stuff. (Adding -ish to everything is totally a thing btw)
If I may ask, but you have probably ALREADY answered and I have SKIPPED over your answer, what is your current WIP about?
ALSO are there any character DEATHS?!
this got morbid.
XD.
I only ask because I recently started a character death forum topic due to an issue I’m trying to resolve so if you wanna hop over there and PLEASE PLEASE GIVW YOUR ADVICE I WOULD DEEPLY APPRECIATE IT.
ahem. *rises from begging position.* now then. Where was I? AH YES. Nice to meet ya! *looks at broken ceiling*
O.o
I MUST BE OFF! *crashes through wall*

#ProtectSebAw haha thanks! Yeah, I’ve been ghosting the KP forum a lot lately, idk why. Busy writing, I ‘spose.
I feel SO attacked right now…😂
Hmm, short stories and novels are probably my favorite, and if it’s a mix of fantasy and crime and time travel or something mind-bending it’s really fun, haha.
Lol that’s the best!!! I love mixed genres (which is totally not the reason why I threw extremely advanced sci-fi into my medieval fantasy world… *cringes*)
Oh, you know, I decided to follow in the sensible path of a computer science major hhhhhhhhhhhh Okay but because also directing a movie, especially when you’re starting out, you’re risking a lot of money by doing it, so it’d honestly be safer to be an author, haha. But I’ll stick to exploring screenwriting and film scoring for now. And hey, it’s so cool that you make your own films! And figure skating is really pretty, heh. I used to want to be a figure skater.
That… honestly makes a lot of sense lol. ESPECIALLY the part about the very sensible computer science major. I’m sure that’s something I’d regret… Haha film scoring is so fun though!!! Aw, thanks! It’s definitely something God has called me to, so why not pursue it, am I right? Oh, why didn’t you become one? *tries to ignore the fact that I’ve wanted to be many things and chose not to be them for no reason whatsoever*
Mm, yes, I recently got an idea for another book from the villain alone… *sigh*
*Pats you on the shoulder* Why is this a thing? *sheds a tear* Author struggles I suppose…
*glances up as you drop through the roof* *throws confetti because that is immensely relatable*
WHY’D YOU wait you told me not to ask…
But now I really really really waNnA kNoWWWW XD
Anyway, HELLO THERE YOU ARE CLEARLY THE COOLEST PERSON I HAVE EVER MET
And… I don’t know what a Bumble is. Do you… *glances around nervously* think it’s… dangerous?
Or wait… are you a Bumble? Should I be afraid of you? *glances at broken ceiling and shrugs*
WHY HELLO THERE GODLYFANTASY12!!! I agree. This crisis must be remedied with all speed and haste. (Read: within the next thousand years or so. You know, whenever you have time.)
I AM DENALI CHRISTIANSON! BUT YOU CAN CALL ME DENALI BECAUSE I ALSO HAVE NO NICKNAME!!!! *throws more confetti*
*squints* Did you just write anywhoodle????
*squeals* I APPROVE can I steal?
Hmm. that is interesting-ish. Well, if you don’t write medieval-ish, what do you write(ish)? (This ish-adding thing is clearly a thing. Why would it not be?)
Ahhh, you may ask. *steeples fingers and leans back in chair* You might want to prepare yourself for a LOOONNNGGGGGG rant.
*takes a deep breath*
*tries to hold rant in*
*fails*
AANNNNDDDD here is the blurb that I give everyone because I don’t feel like typing it out every. single. time…
“Arctashia is a world of vibrant colors, of excitement. Adventure lurks around every corner. Separate Dimensions are inhabited by Elves, Dwarves, Talceens, and Men. But Arctashia is no paradise. Epochs ago, something went wrong, and Delandries, the Mountain of Dimensions, was lost to a darkness so thick not even the strongest Elf can pierce it. Arctashia waits in breathless tension for the hero that will set reality right…
“Evie is just another student for the Darkness. Always trying to earn her place and certainly not believing in anything like hope. Not after the Darkness nearly killed her brother. All she knows is a burning anger and a desire for justice. Not that she could ever get that. Until the day her only peaceful acquaintance (someone may even call Taliya a friend – but not Evie) reveals a deadly secret she’s kept from day one. Evie must make a choice: does she turn her friend turned traitor into the authorities? Or does she escape to a future entirely unknown? One that may even contain hope?
“Kilied has it all. A talented twin sister, a loyal dragon, and a beautiful house. But Kilied’s every thought is haunted by the tragedy of his past. His every move is hampered by the reality of a betrayal and a dark lord’s deception. So when the Third Dimension is overcome by the great Darkness, Kilied must flee with his sister Kirielle and his dragon Balorico in the hopes that he can set the disaster right. But Kilied’s past is running him down, and he cannot hold much longer. Will he discover the truth before it is too late?
“Two broken people fight for their lives in a broken world. The time is coming for the great battle. Will Light triumph, or will Arctashia be plunged into the growing Darkness forever?”
*realizes how very long that was*
I see you’re still here. I commend you. *salutes*
YESSSS THERE AREEEEEE Character deaths are the worst and best thing to write all at once and OF COURSE I’LL HELP YOUUUU *bowls you over with hug*
NICE TO MEET YA TOO!!! *follows your gaze to the broken ceiling*
*glances at the now broken wall*
*feels very attacked*
I DOOO FIGURE SKKKKATTTTEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHYY THANK YOUUUUUU I is HONORED that you find it epic. Epic is clearly the highest compliment, AM I RIGHT??? XD
I was one way, and now I am completely different. And the thing that happened in between was Him.
Update:
I AM NO LONGER A BUMBLING HENCHMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *feels very accomplished*
I am…

*Ahem*
You may refer to me as Cataline.
*realizes what a nerd I am*
I’m going to sleep now…
I was one way, and now I am completely different. And the thing that happened in between was Him.

*glances at broken…everything.*
And you’re welcome by the way! XD
Do not worry dear friend, I am not a Bumble! Whatever a Bumble is…
We really must figure this out… Hmm…
OOH CONFETTI *picks it up from floor and re-throws it.* NOICE!!
And OF COURSE you may use Anywhoodle. it’s a favorite of mine (;
Ahh what do I Write-ish? Well I mostly procrastinate-ish XD. But I do write-ish fantasy like you, I just don’t tend to think of it as Medieval-ish. Does that make ANY SENSE?! (Probably not but OH WELL)
CURRENTLY I am working on a 7-8 book fantasy series!
7 to 8 books…. *forces smile*
*cries inwardly*
NO MATTER!! I will survive….somehow XD.
