It does feel kinda like it at times…I’m actually working this whimsy story of fairies, libraries, and evil people eating woods right now that I haven’t introduced here because…*shrugs*
Ma’am. Please introduce your story in more detail. I am currently working on a whimsy story of fairies, cozy homes, and evil people-eating rabbits. We have a few things in common and I would love to hear about your project.
I was actually just thinking about getting someone to read over the first chapter and prologue and give me feedback.
I’m interesteeddd
I am out of signature ideas
February 13, 2026 at 7:21 pm #210792I’m honestly a bit tired of dark stuff and stories that “deal with hard themes”.
I’m always a little annoyed when people say we need more writers dealing with darkness in their stories. Literally 90% of the WIPs I’ve heard about have dark themes like PTSD and abuse, and a lot of published books are the same.
I write dark themes so I don’t think of them poorly, I just don’t like how they’re treated as more important/impactful than other stories.

May I join on this “competition” for the title of blade master? ? (Power, not the Black Mongoose. His Royal Lowness already has a title and is also currently blockade into a cabinet, in detention)
February 13, 2026 at 7:31 pm #210795but have you all actually been trained to fight with them? ?
Depends on exactly what you mean by training, but how is this at all writing/ kp related?

February 13, 2026 at 7:34 pm #210796As far as titles go, I always thought of you as kp’s local cryptid because of your elusive and random nature lol

February 13, 2026 at 7:36 pm #210797XD I’ve never understood that either. Everyone is writing dark stuff and it gets tiresome and depressing. Sometimes I just want a lighthearted book where no one dies, but those are hard to find.
?For our Blessed Lady's sake, bring us in good ale!?
February 14, 2026 at 2:10 am #210798Book recs?? *Squeals* okay, here’s a few of my favorite whimsy books.
A Place to Hang the Moon by Late Albus
The Ogress and the Orphans by Kelly Barnhill
East by Edith Pattou (this one does get kinda darkish, but as in, it’s a rewrite of a Norwegian fairytale where there are evil trolls who let freeze people to death)

February 14, 2026 at 2:17 am #210799I’m not in the competition, I just thought Ellette’s comment was funny.
Eh, not in a good long time, and only when my brother was first starting out in it, so to speak. I definitely couldn’t hold my own against a real 14th century knight.
But I’m also learning a lot of medical stuff right now…so I could probably disable him easily in a surprise attack. Lol. That’s not sword training.
I did (and kinda still do) used to want to join a fencing club, preferably sabre. But that’s just dreams and wants…read through the entire International rulebook to make sure a skirt was allowed…*sigh*

Hmm, I do see similarities. Okay, here’s the blurb:
Cookie looking siblings, a begrudgingly helpful fairy, and a librarian who can’t seem to stay out of mischief might make an odd team. But when the younger brother begins to accidentally fulfill an age-old prophesy, it might just be up to his friends to keep their lives —and the kingdom in general— intact.
It’s in a town by the Evil Woods based off the Black Forest in Germany and told from a somewhat unreliable narrator.

Alrighty. I’ll email you the first chapter ect. Warning, it’s pretty rough.

Oops. Cookie loving. How did I get a typo in a pretyped, typo-less blurb…

February 14, 2026 at 8:34 am #210803*Gaspeth!* how dare you! We came up with that story, and now you are sharing chapters without even telling me!!!! *sobs* ?

(
