        @rochellaine What you were saying about SE is true. ย Lots, like 90% of everyone, are into the fantasy and magic type of writing. ย I find I can’t post or respond to posts much without taking time I don’t have right now to explain myself. ย Its not as easy to state your beliefs there. ย Plus, its not as fun when I’m not your deputy. ๐Ÿ˜‰

            @seekjustice I’m back!

            The line between helpfulness and obsession…hm. ๐Ÿ˜›


            @ariel-ashira
            Hello, I’m here now.ย  One thing I noticed about SE was that it’s a lot like KP used to be. (obviously, because it’s run by the same people…) Basically what I mean is, while like you say, 90% of the people write fantasy and magic, a lot of the discussions even with them don’t actually have to do with fantasy and magic and can be useful in all writing, such as the villain topic I was discussing with SeekJustice yesterday.ย  It takes skill to navigate, and I understand that it can’t be avoided altogether.ย  However, like I told SeekJustice, I succeeded pretty well here, and made a lot of friends and no enemies ๐Ÿ˜‰ so I think I’d be fine there.ย  I probably won’t be joining SE for a while yet, since I don’t have the time right now, but it’s something I’d consider in the future.

            Make sense? ๐Ÿ˜‰

              @rochellaine Yeah, that makes sense. ย My sister is on SE, which is the main reason I go there.

              But it seriously is nicer with you around.

                Yeah, and I feel they might be walking that line ๐Ÿ™‚

                    Wondering if writing letters to your future husband qualifies as obsessed.

                      @seekjustice Haha.ย  Well, I’ve heard of people doing that, so I don’t think it’s a completely strange or new idea.ย  It’s not something I’d do, though. ๐Ÿ˜‰

                      However, I did once (several years ago) write a list of questions I’d ask a guy who wanted to court me and their required answers.ย  I went over it again recently and realized how silly it was. ๐Ÿ˜›ย  Because a lot of the questions I no longer care strongly one way or the other about.ย  How much we change over the course of a few years!

                        @seekjustice @ariel-ashira I need a name for a character.ย  He’s the protagonist of one of my writing projects, and it’s set in a contemporary period.ย  Since he’s the protagonist he needs to have a nice enough sounding name that people won’t be put off by it.ย  However, it needs to be a very unusual name in order for the plot to work.ย  The kick-off of the whole plot starts with the fact that his name is unusual.ย  His surname can be normal, I don’t care about that.ย  I just need a good, unusual but nice given name for him.

                        Any suggestions?

                          I wouldn’t either, but I’m not adverse to the idea of praying for a husband (as in, praying for the guy, not praying that I would get one)

                          We do change a lot, don’t we? I don’t remember ever having a specific list though. I still don’t have one now, to be honest.

                              @seekjustice My sister is Selah Chelyah, and she writes primary historical fiction like I do. ย She’s two years older than me, and she’s awesome ( except for 2% of the time when I’m sure I could strangle her). ๐Ÿ˜‰

                                Exactly how unusual are you thinking? More along the lines of Addison or, say, Adeodatus?

                                  I remember seeing her around ๐Ÿ˜€ She does seem pretty cool. I’ve often wished that I had a big sister.
