Makes sense to me, names are hard🤣

@kyronthearcanin

Very interesting! Is Kyrah different from Kirah?

@esther-c

(I actually asked this question earlier to Historian in the deceptive form of): Do we live on a potato, a donut, or a pringle?

(This is kind of a joke in topology and physics describing Euclidean and non Euclidean geometries, though that’s not all of them. I could also describe it entirely in donut form for fun, like a donut hole, a…[Read more]

@kyronthearcanin

Looking good! I don’t think your alluding to the idea of Brycen being one of the chosen here, other than the fact that the the story is told from the perspective of the other two chosen. And using the description of draconic for Tali would further increase suspicions that she’s the dragonborn, that being now two implied…[Read more]

@kyronthearcanin

Haha, lol! Yeah, It makes sense that Amara would be the dragonborn because of Jade, but it seemed very likely that you were alluding to Tali, because only dragons were seen, then suddenly a human, thus, that human must be draconic in some way. I think I would personally prefer the latter if I was writing this, but I think it…[Read more]

@kyronthearcanin

Interesting, I’m really liking this so far! So a few questions I feel are becoming relevant to the story as a whole:

Are the dragons inherently evil, or are they simply a corrupt nation? What is their motives in invading Illura?

I was going to ask about who the dragonborn was, but then reading through some previous messages, I…[Read more]

@felicity

(No problem. Honestly I knew we’d differ here, (so maybe it’s my fault) especially in the question of whether or not Jesus is God, which is really important to me. I’d love to have a friendly discussion about it if you’re comfortable. If you’d rather not, I respect that too!) (AHHH. I almost forgot to put parenthesis around that. 😅…

@she-is-a-pirate

Welcome to KP! I’m TheArcaneAxiom. I like math, searching for divine fundamental truth, and implementing that in my writing. I enjoy sci fi/fantasy and my WIP consists of a little bit of both.

Questions:

If pirates is your thing, do you like the more modern dramatized picture, or do you like to study actual history about…[Read more]

@esther-c

I love it!!! I haven’t read WingFeather, nor have I ever gotten into fan-fiction, but I could tell why you wanted to give the context to the song, it’s very beautiful. I don’t really have any criticisms, but you mentioned realism, and I would say that this has far more of a romanticized vibe, but in a really good and emotionally…[Read more]

@felicity

Do you purpose a different definition of reality? Is existing the state of being real, and reality is something that is real/actual? (Wow I’m really confusing myself here. 😅  So I don’t think reality is everything that is self aware, at least, that’s not how I look at it. Self awareness is different. If I am unconscious, I am not self a…

@kyronthearcanin

Ok, so on chapter 2:

Interesting, I don’t think I have any major critiques or anything on this one. As for Nia, I wouldn’t call her a villain, though she is a minor conflict. I don’t think she’s overboard at all, she’s just not a very likeable character currently, so if that’s what you were aiming for, I think you did great!…[Read more]

@kyronthearcanin

Thanks! I definitely was kind of experimenting with a lot of different things that I normally don’t do in my writing… Like prophecy, and more POVs than I’m used to. Throughout the next few chapters, more are added in, including the male POV. I think something I’ve also done is made a lot of the characters similar in persona…

@felicity

(The definition of reality I’m using here is “the state of existing”. Just to be clear.) Perhaps there are two kinds of realities: the reality that has always been, (God), and the reality that He created, (time and space)?  Did God create reality? Is God reality, since He has created everything and has always existed?

If reality is sim…[Read more]

@kyronthearcanin

Very intriguing! It captures a very classical fantasy vibe quickly with swords, prophecies… as well as dragons of course, I’m interested where you will take that. I will say that the pacing felt a little weird to me, not because your getting into it too quickly (I’m far worse with that), but because it felt like Kirah was too…[Read more]

@otherworldlyhistorian

Karci sounds very intriguing! It sounds like your really digging into the deeper political dynamics going on.

@esther-c

Your characters sound so sweet! Love the boards! That gives me a little more context for them in your writing I’ve read so far.

@freedomwriter76

Yeah, I think that’s a good choice. It is the sad truth, but it’s a truth regardless. I think of Azula from Avatar the Last Airbender. We don’t know of any future redemption for her after the…[Read more]

@felicity

(Ok I see what you mean. Curiosity seems more like a ‘wanting to know more’ for amusement, rather than a hunger or desire for deep knowledge. Although the former could just be because of a certain monkey I always think of whenever I hear the word curious. 😉 )

(Yep! You summed up what I was thinking pretty well there XD)

(I’ve alway…

@seekjustice

I never got tagged so I didn’t see your response, lol, sorry.

I’m learning quite a few languages! I’ve finished a course and I’m conversational in Hawaiian, I’m proficient in Australian Sign Language and I’m currently learning Scottish Gaelic and Romanian. In the future I’d love to learn Welsh and Māori.  And no I haven’t done…

@felicity

(Curiosity sums it up pretty well, in my opinion.) Do you think there’s something missing?

(Yeah, I think it’s a good summery. It feels like the word curiosity doesn’t give a complete connotation though.) I’m not sure, perhaps there are different degrees of what curiosity is? Does that stray from the heart of a question? (I would say t…[Read more]
