@Northerner This is why it’s better to just avoid on-topic responses around here. They generally never work.

Wow, that was quite the GIF war. XD
Anyway, my WIP is a book about two cousins who find their way into a magical land called Sonder, where their natural talents are developed into super powers. This land is inhabited by people and mythological creatures cross between a pegasus and a unicorn (still haven’t found a good name for them :P). The people are led by an evil king who is determined to overtake the creatures’ land, and in doing so they are locked in a ferocious battle. The only way either side can win is if the opposite ruler has their crown destroyed. (The crowns in that world store memories and can only be held by the chief stargazer or advisor). There’s a bit more, but I’m not very good at telling the outline of a story without giving away major spoilers. So far I have 40,000 words on it. 😀
I'm an ENFP-J, and I love chocolate and books. Among other things.
Um…..well that happened. *walks away slowly*
ANYWAY. Here ya go, @ariella-newheart
Here is the summary-ish thing for my WIPs. (Wait. If I haven’t started writing most of them, are they even WIPs? Idek.)
Embers Burning (Fantasy) : Amber, a fifteen-year-old girl living on a colony island, is living an uncomfortably perfect life with her adopted family when she discovers the fact that she can create and manipulate fire and heat. She befriends an isolated widow named Catriona, who teaches her to use the powers (that, by the way, everyone from Catriona’s native country has). During her training, she uncovers a long-kept secret about the true history of her island of Tirnagh and her own lineage. She is Of The Dragonblood, supposedly one of the only two left in Leifer. When a dark force threatens her home and family, she sets out to find…something.
Brendan is a sixteen-year-old scribe’s apprentice on the OTHER colony island of Stryla. Having been taught basically everything his adopted father and teacher knows, he’s well aware of the fact that his powers are different than the average Ehrenite. But he is rather surprised to find out he is Of The Dragonblood. In fact, he is the legendary Leaf-boy, prophesied to work together with the Ember-girl to save Leifer from an approaching darkness and return the missing prince to his throne. After the death of his teacher, he journeys to find the Ember-girl and generally save the world.
And then they meet. With their pieced together knowledge of ancient prophecies and songs, they figure out they and their dragons, Teine and Terran, must meet each of the seven Great Rangers to find the missing prince. And of course, the entire evil army is after them. Oh, and was it mentioned that they fall in love?
Changing Winds (Fantasy): The sequel to Embers Burning finds Amber and Brendan ruling Leifer. A young thief named Fallon and a blind girl named Brynn must combat a strange combination of wind-and-water-mages and moon fanatics to again defeat the Dark Lady’s forces. (Oh, and Joktan. *squeal*)
Unnamed Third Book (Fantasy): Last book in the trilogy. Amber and Brendan’s son, Bryce the Dragon-boy, must fight the rebellion that has been smoldering since before his parents were born. Don’t have much on this one yet.
Unnamed except for the subtitle (The Haphazard Adventures of Allie J. Brown) (Sci-fi/Contemporary Fiction) : Allie and her friends are relatively normal high-schoolers. But since when do people in books stay normal? The government recruits them to test a new super-human formula that, of course, turns them into superheroes. And, oh, do they have fun with that.
So….yeah. Only started writing EB at this point. I tag @xonos-darkgrate to share his ideas.

https://forums.theaetherliOh-oh-oh! This looks like fun, I want to do it but I got the idea that I should make ton’s of Google Docs with story starters and, after I have about 20, choose which one I want o finish first. Most of them I’m planning to be 10,000 to 25,000 words. My favorite one is… Err… It’s… No… Umm… *sigh* Gimmie a sec… Got it! Probably my one where the main character is actually the bad guy. Her name is Haylie Sagge and she’s the one who planned the plot to kill the good guys, which succeeded. One good guy (Macx Raylii) survives and finds her, not knowing she planned that attack, and uses her to get to Criminal Lord of the Powered and Powerless (her father) so… yeah. A Powered is a person with some sort of magical ability, a Powerless is a normal person. Haylie thinks she’s a terrible bad guy (which is right, she’s just no good) even though she was born to be a bad guy (Grey eyes = bad guy. Green/blue/colorful eyes = Good guy. Brown eyes = normal person, though they can make a decision on whether or not to be a criminal, though Brown Eyed people are never Powered)
Sooo, yeah. I’m literally only about a page through (I wrote the beginning already but didn’t like it so I’m going to try a few different drafts.)
*insert awesome signature because I'm a bit too lazy to come up with one*
“Some short guys who really hate jewelry…”
@sam-kowal, you just made my day. Night. Whatever. That was awesome. Do one for… have you read the Wingfeather Books? Or you could do Narnia…ENFP - "One must be sane to think clearly, but one can think deeply and be quite insane."
@dragon-snapper I remember that Gif War. *watches rerun* Yeah, I just sat in a corner laughing the whole time. 😀
@rochellaine like what? Doesn’t write fantasy? Finding Secrets is Fantasy. Firebird is kinda of fantasy because I made up the island and the culture.IMMA KAPEEFER! Til we're old and gray!
@ethryndal My sincerest apologies. *bows*
@catwing XD Describe Kingdom Pen in three words: Loki GIF Wars.☀ ☀ ☀ ENFP ☀ ☀ ☀
@catwing Oh, oh, okay. I’m so sorry! I forgot that you write fantasy. I just remembered Firebird at the time I wrote that post, and I don’t consider an invention of cultures or islands fantasy, just fiction. Fantasy derives from the word “fantastical” which means unrealistic, and it’s totally realistic to find an unusual and undiscovered tribe of people with a strange culture living on an unexplored island. It’s been done thousands of times!
Oh, well. *sits back and resigns self to being the only person here who doesn’t write fantasy* *sniffs*
"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
@rochellaine I know there’s someone else. I just don’t remember who…
IMMA KAPEEFER! Til we're old and gray!
@anne-of-lothlorien :D. I need to read Wingfeather, but until then…Narnia: (book 2)
Four kids become king and queen of a park full of endangered creatures by order of an escaped zoo animal, who crowns them because they offended a lady who loves winter so much she could have gotten a business deal with The North Face, but also hates Christmas enough to make the Grinch look indifferent…
*Giarstanornarak tries to melt chair*
Also, Daeus has 22 turtles in his signature.@rochellaine *Tries to cheer you up*
It’s okay. Stan would like to tell you he doesn’t write fantasy either. He writes realistic fiction.
Unfortunately, because Stan is fantasy, his realistic fiction with him as the main character still comes across as fantasy…. MWAHAHAHAHA 😀 😀 😛
*Giarstanornarak tries to melt chair*
Also, Daeus has 22 turtles in his signature.@sam-kowal *smiles at Stan* Thanks. That was a little helpful?
😀 😀 😀
@dekreel If you want to know why I never make Stan disappear, it’s because dragons are real. Also because Stan is always nice and never does anything worthy of disappearing."Sylvester - Sylvester!"
Cool I’m not the only not that doesn’t write fantasy 😀 Or even read it for that matter …
Anyway, my WIP is a crime story set in an all girls boarding school in the U.K. The main character is eleven and is called Adrienne. Whilst putting on a production of twelfth night someone carries out a lot of sabotage. The saboteur leaves notes written in Shakespearean language and eventually one of the students is kidnapped. Adrienne and her friends have to solve the crime. I’ve finished my first draft and now am editing 😬
"Come out from them and be separate says the Lord." 2 Corinthians 6:17
@pickupyourpenandwrite So you’re the “other person who doesn’t write fantasy!” Cool!
Pickupyourpenandwrite I read a lot of books written in the early 1900s, and back then there was a much larger percentage of American kids who went to boarding schools. So I’ve read a good many books set in boarding schools which I enjoyed. A Shakespeare mystery sounds very interesting!
Edit: Whoops! Meant to tag @catwing instead of Dekreel! (Catwing, I’ve found the person – or rather, she found me. 🙂 )
