I just read Cinder! I really enjoyed it, though it was a little predictable at times. I guessed Cinder was the Princess Selene as soon as Selene was mentioned. XD I loved Peony so much…why did she have to die???😢 I really like the doctor too, but I’m scared he’ll die too. My favorites usually do. I’m reading Scarlet now. I read Gone With the Wind a few months ago, and the fact her name is Scarlet is messing with me. XD

thank you for the prayers!

@ellette-giselle all righty then!
I went through a space phase at that age too! It lasted several years, and I still think space is cool, but I’ve been studying a lot of science for school, and I’ve decided I can’t stand physics and chemistry. So, no astronomy career for me. XD
yesss same. I like physics but not chemistry. Well, I like the visual part of chemistry, but the infinite math equations I just can’t take.
You’re brave. No one ever gets to know about my book crushes…except I think some of my siblings have guessed. XD
My parents still don’t know about my fixation with him, lol. I’m sure they’ve guessed something, but they aren’t sure exactly what.

that’s cute. I got a way better match. I married Eomere when I was 13. I was Faramir’s secret sister that nobody really knew about. He was the only one in the family who loved me. Boromere didnt have time for me and Denathor was just a messed up dad. But yeah, anyways. That’s who I really am.
Self inserts are so fun thoughhhhh
My first one was two different warrior cats, Starshine and Jayheart. In homage to that second one, all my self-inserts from then on have had something similar to “Jay” in their names. For example, Huntress’s real name is Jaylen. (That also happens to be the name of one of my cousins, weirdly enough, but I’ve never really met that cousin so….)

Well, I made the forum, the forum stopped working for me, and I also disappeared off the face of the earth for over two weeks😂💀 well I’ll try to answer questions/responses now😅
@highscribeofaetherium @hybridlore @keilah-h @grcr @savannah_grace2009 @elishavet-pidyon @theshadow @thearcaneaxiom @whalekeeper @ellette-giselle @loopylin @koshka @trailblazer @esther-cI’m sooo glad y’all all love the fantasy idea😭💜💜 and I posted aesthetics I think a few pages back on this forum specifically
and now for questions everyone asked:
have you developed how these different arcs blend into the overall story?
I have to a certain point😅😂 it’s still very much in the plotting stage, and the characters’ stories will also develop along the course of a trilogy (with the exception being one of the MCs who doesn’t appear until Book 2…or at least that’s the plan atm)
What’s the worldbuilding you’ve done like so far?
Soooo the idea is that my fantasy world takes place in a country (still unnamed😅) that once existed on earth but doesn’t anymore, likely due to being conquered by another. It’s set sometime in the Middle Ages (probably around the 1300s or so?), and I’ve developed the three main areas of the country along with a very special mountain that will play a huge role in the story…and in the villain’s plot.
There’s a grassy area/meadow, also where the capital of the country is, inspired mainly by English/Celtic culture
A desert area where many nomadic people/families/tribes live, and is based on Spanish/Jewish culture
A dock/seaside area that is dependent on trade/seafaring, heavily inspired by Irish/Celtic culture
I’m curious, what does a no magic fantasy look like? Does that just mean it’s set in a different world? Or that it’s medieval era inspired?
No-Magic fantasy more builds on the fact that it’s in a made-up country/place and, for mine at least, is actually a made-up country whose culture is based on several different real cultures. It’s set on earth and is medieval inspired.
How long have you been working on it/has it been a thing? Even a vague figment of a dream?
Soooo this trilogy kinda combines both old ideas and new, so I have no idea, lol. Officially? I’ve been plotting it since January a little bit I think after I published Broken Shackles, or maybe a tiny bit before, somewhere around there😂
@godlyfantasy12 forgot to tag you😅🫠
and I have already written some scenes for it btw, but most of them are huge spoilers atm🤭
girl I need you to write that book!!!
MUST. HAVE. MORE. FANTASY.

@savannah_grace2009 hehe I’m glad you’re excited🤭 @ellette-giselle @rae @keilah-h @theducktator @grcr @highscribeofaetherium @koshka @elishavet-pidyon @anyone-else-idk-lol-?
Soooo I just wanted to say that me having this fantasy idea doesn’t really change anything about the Broken and Redeemed Trilogy. Though I love this new idea, Leon/Riker are still my main priority, and though I’m trying to take a bit of a writing break right this minute, I think today I have finally figured out where Book #3 of the Trilogy is going to go and what it is going to be.
The story is changing some, and I want to talk about that some if y’all don’t mind me rambling😂
Leon and Riker won’t be friends in the beginning, but Book #3 will rather be the beginning of their budding friendship.
I think this makes a lot more sense given both of their stories and their connection to each other. Their dynamic won’t be easy, nor will the conflict between them be small (the opposite, at times😅), but I think it makes a lot more sense than them being friends from the very beginning of Book #3
Leon and Riker don’t return to Germany to spread the Gospel.
Given the fact that both of them are still fairly new to their newfound faith, and both of them (most notably Riker) aren’t even quite sure if they believe the full Gospel, them returning to Germany with the motive of spreading the Gospel just didn’t seem quite fitting for them or for their story. But they’re still returning to Germany…I just won’t disclose how/why yet😉
and I think those are really the only things that are changing. but I still wanted to share😂
OH, and I’m also in the process of reformatting/reediting Freedom’s Fire to fix what a scam company ruined and where things needed to be edited just a tiny bit, so y’all can also look forward to a revised edition of Freedom’s Fire hopefully before too long🤭
OH, and Pinterest board for Book #3 so y’all can begin to get a feel for what the story is gonna look like😘 (just delete the space after the h at the beginning)

Eeeeek! I like this. It makes a lot of sense.

You have listened to fears, child. Come, let me breathe on you... Are you brave again? -Aslan
I like the changes!! I’d just caution you to have more new conflicts than old. It’s easy to fall into the old loop. Instead think of challenges they will face as they try to build a friendship, rather than a loop of old struggles.
Just a little heads up! (I’ve had to learn the hard way and I hoped to pass on some of that lesson to others. ☺️)
I can’t wait!!! 😛

My mom made me a cheesecake and I made a lizard design on it with chocolate! I don’t have the picture yet though.
