      Hey guys,

      I can’t believe it’s been 2 years since I first joined kp, lol. I’ve finished my AA degree too, I guess it really has been awhile.

      Can somebody tell me what all is going on here? Are roleplays active? Like what’s the news? I only get on like once a week and I’m not keeping up with all the new people. If I haven’t formally met you yet, feel free to introduce yourself. : D

      Anyways, for those who are interested, I’m still writing my main wip ATOH but I’ve been working a lot more on my fantasy side project, which I have a final cover for. Not sharing bc y’know, spoilers. Some of you may know that I’m chronically ill, I’ve gotten a lot worse but I’ve also found a doctor who understands my illness, so things could be worse. Apparently it’ a difficult recovery though. It’s going to be a long process, and I’m spending a lot of time at home. I’ve been getting really sad recently and I thought maybe catching up on kp would bring was sanity back into my life lol.

      How’s life and writing for all you guys? What’s new, favorite shows (Whaley, update on gravity falls?) or new classes at school?

            Min!! 😀 Congrats on your achievement, that’s impressive!

            There’s not a lot of news. Just people doing normal people things. :] A couple new roleplays are attempting to spring up, and the castle roleplay is not too changed, I believe? We definitely have new people though.

            I’m still writing my main wip ATOH but I’ve been working a lot more on my fantasy side project, which I have a final cover for

            Oooh a cover… Made by our resident graphic novel expert, I assume?

             I’ve been getting really sad recently and I thought maybe catching up on kp would bring was sanity back into my life lol.

            I hope so too :]

            How’s life and writing for all you guys? What’s new, favorite shows (Whaley, update on gravity falls?) or new classes at school?

            *Triggered* I love Gravity Falls. XD

            Seriously though, my writing life has paused for a while. I have to balance my social life with other stuff. I think I’ve talked about this with you before, just know it’s gotten worse.

            But it’s fiiiine, and besides, I still have fun everyday things. This week, I’m making a Halloween costume with a flowy red cape.

              New people: Andrew ( @raxforge ), Kefa ( @the_lost-journal ), Ellette ( @ellette-giselle ), Linus ( @Linus-smallprint ), Shadow ( @theshadow ), Liberty ( @liberty ), Ducktator ( @theducktator )

              I’ll let them introduce themselves if they so wish.

                Active Rps: The Couple RP, The Character Castle RP, Fantasy/Modern School RP, and I think The Animal RP is also active @raxforge would know about that.

                (Yes, I’m tagging you again Andrew. Let me know if it’s too much)

                We also are thinking about reviving some form of the Character Party RP but so far we don’t have much going there.

                 

                General news: Wyoh hasn’t been very active lately!!! A couple minor instances but otherwise the site hasbeen working fine.

                I think the School RP was running for the title of “Craziest RP” to take away from Character Party, and they missed it barely I’d say.

                Just to make things clear, they weren’t purposefully trying to get that title but it sure seemed like it. Ellette had some Agents come after her charrie, Koshka’s charrie tried to protect Ellette’s but then the Agents went after his family and Marcel got involved, and Andrew’s charrie got involved. Then my charrie got involved and killed one of the agents to protect a little girl. Then Andrew’s charrie went and fought a bit with mine, then they all got in trouble and had to face Whaley’s Ms. Barnes! So yeah, it did feel like they were trying for the title, including the flames aspect.

                  Nah, don’t worry about it.


                  @mineralizedwritings

                  Hi, whazzap, names Andrew, you can call me any of the four names down at the bottom đŸ”œ. I am fairly new, like two-ish weeks. I have a post that introduces me if you want to look at it but if you don’t want to, I can just make a shorter introduction.

                  I think The Animal RP is also active @raxforge would know about that.

                  Not really, the fact that there is so many RPs going around is a little too much for some people to handle. Maybe once one or two of the OG RPs dies down a little bit, then I might kickstart it back up.

                  I think the School RP was running for the title of “Craziest RP” to take away from Character Party, and they missed it barely I’d say.

                  đŸŽ”Rax will burn everything to the groundđŸŽ”

                  (Warning: this is a joke and should be taken as a joke. Rax is not going to actually burn everything to the ground.)

                  I go by many names, Andrew, Andy, Mandrew, but you may call me... BATMAN!!!

                    My Charries haven’t faced Ms. Barnes. And neither have Koshka’s. We are busy climbing out of a third or second story window. *grins happily*

                     


                    @mineralizedwritings

                    Hello Min!!!

                    I think we’ve met before, and I’ve seen you comment on some of my stuff. (my drawings and maybe a few scenes in the chat chat?) Anyhow, I can’t think of much that’s still active besides what was already mentioned. Oh, The mood Board/aesthetics forum is dying and I am doing my best to keep it alive, because y’all are the only other people I know who actually understand the art of those things. So, if you have some boards I’d love to see them. I’m kinda obsessed.

                     

                    WOW! congrats on the degree! Aw, I wish you would share the cover.  🙁  I understand tho. Secrets must be kept, and cover releases are always fun. Just tag me if you ever do show us. 😉

                    Wow, that must be really tough being sick all the time. I’m so glad you’ve found someone who is able to help you. Is it a sickness with a name, or does no one really know what it is?

                    I’ll be praying for you! Let me know if there’s anything I can do to help.

                     

                    As for my personal life, well, I’m a senior in high school and will be graduating in the spring! Yippy! Ah, no more school forever and ever sounds like a blast!! I’m pretty excited for it! (I’m homeschooled btw, if that makes any difference.) I’m working with my editor on the first book in my saga, and keeping up the sales and promotion of the two books I have published, and writing another book, and planning my next one. Just normal author life around here.

                    Hmm, I’m not sure if that last question was meant for me, but I’ll tell you some of my fav. if you want to know. I won’t tell you favorite movies, because I have WAY TO MANY. However, I love the first three (?) season’s on the Great British Bakeoff. (Basically I like it until they switch the judges.) I try to keep up with AGT and BGT (the Got talent shows). So those would be the “shows” that I like. TV series are easy because I don’t like a lot of them. I enjoy The Adventures of Tintin, Band Of Brothers (with a filter device to cut out the language and a few scenes) Bleak House!!!! (Love that one! We watch it ever winter, except now my sister is at the age where she understands parts of it, and it scares her.) And finally, The Wingfeather Saga.

                    I doubt I even answered that question correctly. But, whatever.

                     

                    Btw, if you would be willing, I would love to exchange email addresses so that we could email sometime. Would you be okay with that?

                      I’m not so sure. That song seemed right on the spot in accuracy.

                        Hey, he’s only set fire to one room so far, plus he put out the fire, so that’s points for him, which he needs so that he can get back into the positives.

                            Hey! I’m sorry you haven’t been feeling well, but I’m really glad you found a doctor! Hopefully he can help you even if the recovery process is slow. I’ll be praying for you ❀

                            I haven’t been toooo active on here, but I try haha. Pretty busy with school, and my sister’s soccer season is just ending but I’ve been going to all of her games, which was really fun.

                            Writing is kind of weird right now. I’m not really sure where I’m going with my main WIP, so I’m kind of trying to figure that out while balancing ideas for sort of a side WIP too.

                            I have read multiple scenes of your WIP, but I don’t know if I ever got to read like, the main plot. So if you don’t mind, I would love to see a blurbish thing. 😁

                              Thanks for all the tags and info Rae! I appreciate it!

                              I’ll have to look into rejoining the character castle. I think my old group has probably dissolved lol.

                              Great! Wyoh is such a pain XD

                              XD wow that sounds like chaos.


                              @raxforge

                              Hi! Nice to meet you, I go by Min around here.

                              I have a post that introduces me if you want to look at it but if you don’t want to, I can just make a shorter introduction.

                              Go for it! Also what genre do you write?

                              đŸŽ”You better watch outđŸŽ”
                              đŸŽ”You better not cryđŸŽ”
                              đŸŽ”You better not pout I’m telling you whyđŸŽ”
                              đŸŽ”Rax will burn everything to the groundđŸŽ”

                              It’s ok, every forum needs a local arsonist. XD


                              @ellette-giselle

                              hey hey! Oh yeah, unfortunately I don’t really make moodboards. I do have a ongoing physical moodboard for each of my characters to keep their designs consistent, but it’s just a manila folder rn. I haven’t made much progress on it, but maybe I’ll post a picture when it’s closer to done.

                               

                              Thank you! Yeah, I wish I could share the cover too. Like I really really wish. I could probably post the lineart… we’ll see. Will tag if I do!

                              Thanks. Yeah, I have Lyme disease. It’s under researched and there isn’t a hard and fast protocol for it. I mean yeah there’s antibiotics, but I’ve been sick most of my life so I’m weak. According to my docter, those who go straight for treating the illness without getting stronger first struggle a lot. She said you can hardly tell if you’re killing the illness or the patient 😬. I have multiple other illnesses, consider it all a part of the same problem though. I tell people lyme because it’s the most well known one I have and kinda gets the point across.

                              Aw thanks! Honestly I think the best things I could get from people here is just to be included. I was looking forward to getting my design degree this year before I got worse. The most I have to look forwards to these days is the livestreamed esports events I watch, and some interaction with my online friends. Talking to you guys really helps when I can’t go to church ect. Thanks for the prayers, I’ll be needing them lol < 3

                              Congrats on your book progress and graduation! Sounds duper exciting. Are you going to move away or do college, or keep writing from home?

                              Yep! All the questions are for anyone. Go ahead with the movies! Which are your favorites?

                              Oh sounds cool! I like masterchef, but I guess that’s a little different. I used to watch so much agt! What’s been your favorite got talent act? I really like light balance kids.

                              XD that makes sense. Yeah, I don’t like a lot of tv series either. I love Avatar the Last Airbender (Like so much XD), and I watch a very small selection of anime. I just started Star Wars clone wars, but the dvd I got only has the first three episodes. I watch twitch and youtube more than shows these days.

                              COol! I don’t know most of those shows, but I do like the Wingfeather saga! I’m still waiting for season 2 to be free lol. Have you read the books?

                              Sure! I just started a new email for all my online not personal stuff so that works fine. I’ll see if I can pm you.


                              @hybridlore

                              Yeah, it’s not perfect but she knows a lot more about my type of illnesses than any doctor I’ve met before. Thank you for the prayers <3

                              I’ve been in a similar place with my wip too! I switch between two, and it can be a little daunting. Honestly I tend to forget about one for a couple months when I switch, and then It’s like seeing a old friends and being ready to catch up when I go back. It keeps the burnout at bay during times when I write a lot. Which hasn’t been happening anyways lol.

                              Sure! Blurbish thing lol:

                              Tauren and Lesli have always lived in the West Hills Bunker. Tucked away safely underground, the west hills bunker remains untouched by the wreckage and destruction of the last world war, 200 years prior. The outside world has changed, and it’s no longer known as the safe planet God created for humans. Life in the bunker is consistent, but Lesli is growing tired of her simple life as a miner. Tauren is happy in the bunker, and is frustrated that part of his new routine involves convincing Lesli to stay out of trouble. However, happenings in other parts of the bunker change the economy, and materials become scarce. Tauren’s world is rocked as the illusion of safety starts to unveil. Convinced they are the only two who can see clearly, they start making plans.

                               

                              What about your main wip? Could I get a blurbish thing to pls? XD

                                Hey that’s not what I meant! 😂 I meant I wanted a update on how much you are enjoying gravity falls, not that you needed to update to a new show! Have you finished? Is it still really good? What’s your favorite thing about it so far?

                                Aw I’m sorry! I don’t remember all of what you told me before, but I remember it sounded hectic. I’ll pray for you < 3

                                 

                                Ooh that sounds so cool! I want to get into costume making one day, it looks like a blast. What’s the costume for?

                                  Of course!

                                  Yeah, I get that. It sounds like a good strategy though because I tend to get burnout about 15k in and then end up stopping. 😔 Maybe once I get my side one going I’ll try that.

                                  Awesome! Yep, it pretty much follows what I knew about it so far. Tag me if you happen to post any more scenes from it! 😉

                                  Here’s the main one! XD

                                  Noa Montero has spent half her life traveling on her pilot father’s starship, the Annora, across the Federation’s Nuvonami System. Now, at seventeen, she’s finally old enough to assist him as a formal apprentice, even though she’s been training to fly since she was eight years old. But rebels are rising in the east, and flying for the Federation is more dangerous than it used to be.

                                  When a Sentinel ship intercepts the Annora while the ship holds the most valuable cargo it’s carried in years, the ship crashes on a nearby planet, Eidar—which has been left untouched ever since the dangerous native species killed off the only settlers. But the ship is destroyed in the crash, killing several of the crew members—including Noa’s father—and shattering their hopes of escape.

                                  The survivors’ only chance is eventual rescue, but without a captain, the crew’s bonds begin to splinter under the weight of survival in the alien jungle. As days pass, Noa begins to wonder if the Federation even knows they’re missing—and how the Sentinels found the Annora in the first place. With her faith wavering after the loss of her father and time running out for their survival, how can she pull together a broken crew when she doesn’t even know who she can trust?
