Well. This is going to take a bit. Just.. Gimme a minute I’m changing a few things up to turn cliches inherent to the plot on their heads.
My MBTI is found in only 7% of the population.. Why have I met so many?
@writerlexi1216 I…I never replied to your comment from a week ago…the one where you said all manner of kind things about The Drakesbanes…how could I…
*ahem* Dramatics aside, thank you!!! I’m glad you like my boys Arvi and Horace; they’re very dear to me, you see, so I’m glad other people like them too!:D I’ll have to yeet more Arvi-sass your way soon–there’s just so much of it. 😉 AND YES PLEASE SHARE MORE OF YOUR WRITING!!!!! Seriously, I’ve loved every single bit you’ve shared–if you want to post more, go for it!!! You’ll have a diehard fan ready and waiting:D
“Seven seconds till the end. Time enough for you. Perhaps. But what will you do with it?”
Oh, it’s no worries!! 😀 😀 😀 Haha, I seriously forget to reply to posts all the time, so it’s fine!!:)
*calms self to keep from typing this post in all-caps* Of COURSE I do!! And yes, I can definitely see why they would be so dear to you (heck, they’re becoming dear to me too)!
*gasps* YES, I NEED MORE ARVI, and his sass is just top-notch XD Those types of characters are my favorites. And he’s a water mage? *puts hand to heart* Can he possibly get any better?
*awkward smile* *yeets every word I’ve written this NaNo out of sight* I’ll try to find more excerpts! Thank you SO much, and I don’t mind to tag you when I post more:) Aww, yayayayay!! *pulls out literary shovel* I’ll dig into my book to find anything worthy of posting!:)
@lydia-s Hey! Sorry this is late… I’ve been busy lol. Here’s the basic gist of my WIP:
staring at the fields
if nothing's really real
i'll make the winter now my home@writerlexi1216 Aww, thanks!! They’re such darlings, aren’t they? Just like Newton and Deek and Caira and *gestures at the rest of your novel* everyone else.
Yes!!!! Please please please tag me if you do–I’m dying to read more. And nooo, don’t yeet it away!!! I’m sure it’s lovely😀 Though hmm, if you find anything, perhaps I could also be persuaded to share some of my own scribblings…>:D
“Seven seconds till the end. Time enough for you. Perhaps. But what will you do with it?”
Of course!! And yes, they certainly are!! (Can I just, like, borrow them forever and ever?:) *gasps* All right, so Random Thought™, but I just thought about this: what if our cast of characters met each other? Like if Tinumali met Caira, and Arvi met Deek, and Horace met Newton… Wow, that would be so interesting to write!!:)
Back on track, aww, thanks so much!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂 *grins* Hehe, I’ll try to find some snippets and post them (and tag you:)!! Thank you SO much, I’ll try not to!:) *un-yeets everything I’ve written this NaNo* YES, please do!! I’m just dying to read any word of it!! <333333 <:D
@writerlexi1216 *gasp* Lexi you’re a genius
That would be so fun!! We should, like, totally make that a thing. Like, over Google Hangouts or something.:D I feel like Caira and Tin would be great friends<3 (Arvi and Deek, on the other hand…maybe not so much XD)
Yesss, please do!! And thanksss–I definitely will!:D
“Seven seconds till the end. Time enough for you. Perhaps. But what will you do with it?”
*grins* Aww, that would be INCREDIBLE to do!!:) And yes, totally (I’m in a group chat with a few other girls on Google Hangouts, so that would work)!! I have a feeling Caira and Tin would get along very well, but I’m not so sure about Deek and Arvi XD Yay, please do!! I found an excerpt earlier (it’s VERY first draft, but until I can find better, this will have to do XD Some things may not make sense :’)
“Hey, Alana?” Caira questioned, using her elbows to position herself upright on her cabin bed. “D’you think I could have a word with the Matriarchs tomorrow? Are Prospects allowed to do that?”
Alana placed her staff down on her wolf-fur blanket, and now initiated unraveling her hair braids, which only exposed how much chocolate-brown hair she truly had. She bit the corner of her lip, putting her fingers on the tips of her toes. “Yup!” she said, nodding. “You usually only have about five minutes to prove that what you’re talking about is worth their time. The Matriarchs don’t dilly-dally with time. Why? What’s up?”
Caira blinked, and she hesitantly lifted her eyes to meet the roof of the cabin room, where she eyed the wooden rafters. The ceiling…? The rafters…? My owl…? I don’t understand…
“Uh… the rafters? Those are up…”
Alana narrowed an eye, and when it clicked of Caira’s plight, she suddenly engaged in a string of high laughter. “I keep forgetting you’re one thousand years old,” she chortled. “That’s going to take some getting used to, huh?”
Caira’s cheeks turned pink, and she offered a gawky half smile. More like I need to re-learn absolutely everything about this new life. Including expressions. I should make a note of that in my diary…
I’m gonna just… *inserts self in conversation*
How are you? Oh, me? I just spent 9 hours straight building a food system for my fantasy world… no I am not okay. But on the plus side I can now finally describe that dinner scene I’ve been working on for months!
If you ask me about my book, I will talk for hours. Have a nice day!😊
@iluvhim18 Awesome! I’ve never bothered to think about food in my fantasy works, haha. (In fact, do they eat at all? Hmm….)
Do you want to tell me a bit about it? How is it different from our world’s?
Lately, it's been on my brain
Would you mind letting me know
If hours don't turn into days@devastate-lasting Ha ha, I’m probably just weird.
It’s not super different, and I’ve decided that they’re mostly vegetarians because it would have taken another 6 hours to create an animal system and Evie ain’t doin’ that xDDD
But their plants and manufactured foods are similar to ours, just with different names and colors. (Mostly because I’m lazy…) And it really only took 9 hours because I just sat there for 7 hours surfing the internet for inspiration and spent the last 2 actually writing stuff down.
If you ask me about my book, I will talk for hours. Have a nice day!😊
@iluvhim18 Oo, that sounds great! I’d love to try some, haha…

Oh, me too! I spent, like, 5 minutes making an ingredient list for fruipups, which is basically like fruit-flavored/dipped popcorn, and I made myself soooo hungry…I’m totally having popcorn when I get home XD
If you ask me about my book, I will talk for hours. Have a nice day!😊
@writerlexi1216 Alright, we’re making this a thing😀 I’m just–so curious as to how our characters would interact. (Especially given their various magic/element powers…>;) )
*gasp* Lexi!!!! This is so good!!!!!!! I legitimately keep giggling to myself every time I read it–I can just feel poor Caira’s confusion. I love how you make her “miss” some modern-day things, like the expressions and the existence of coffee–it’s such a unique and endearing trait. Also, I’m so intrigued by the Matriarchs now, plus Alana is just a lovely name. (Have I mentioned that you’re really good at worldbuilding?) Thank you so much for sharing!!!!!!!
“Seven seconds till the end. Time enough for you. Perhaps. But what will you do with it?”
*gasps* YES, we will 100% turn this into a thing. Ooh, that’s interesting to think about!! Hmm… how would they interact…? I guess we’ll find out!!:) *mind goes blank* Have I ever asked you what Horace’s magic is, by the way?
Aww, thank you!!:D It was one of the many things written during NaNo, so I appreciate that!!:) Yes, poor Caira… she doesn’t understand half of this new life, and jokes about being old-fashioned. A couple of her diary entries are only descriptions of everyday objects, like the violin. Or coffee. Thank you so much!! I thought it would be interesting:) Haha, yes, the Matriarchs… well, to put a long story short, Caira and her crew find a magic camp named Asperencia, which has been in hiding for centuries and is overseen by the Matriarchs. (The camp’s aesthetic was mostly inspired by Horizon Zero Dawn, so it has a tribal-y feeling). *Alana nods and thanks you* THANK YOU!! That’s so good to hear (or read?) that you enjoyed it!! Of course!! (Now it’s your turn to share because I’m dying to read more:P)
