Let’s gooooo, the training group is the only ones that don’t annoy Fennin, lol

Ellis and Ottoline don’t hate each other!

@jonas

That would make sense. Although that would also mean that I likely wouldn’t be able to see mine accepted before my mission in a few months, so I wouldn’t be able to agree to it being published. We’ll have to see though.

@savannah_grace2009

Well that’s just the way things are sometimes. When it’s a business, if you tell someone that their rejected, your expelling energy that isn’t really adding to your company in any way, so in most cases, they just never get back to you. It should be a common curtesy to tell them, but that’s just the way it is. I would think it…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

Yeah, I’m kind of disappointed they didn’t even tell us what was going on though! I even sent Kathleen an email asking if it got rejected or something but it’s been five days and she hasn’t replied.

@jonas

Oh XD then I’ll wait a bit…

Don’t want anybody panicking or heart attacks…but I know CPR if anybody does have one lol

@jonas

I’m not too concerned about being arbitrary, but maybe I should be more. I mean, I have a planet whose culture resembles medieval Europe. That would probably be way less likely than a planet developing a similar musical scale to our most commonly used one.

Yeah, and of course you don’t have to be, as this is your world, there’s no law t…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009

So another short story has been published. So I don’t know whether or not that means ours has been set aside or if there’s perhaps a line.

@savannah_grace2009

That’s entirely up to you. It’s probably been long enough if your just waiting for arbitrary lengths of time, but I don’t know.

@thearcaneaxiom

Thank you! Should I post the next one or wait a bit?

@jonas

Interesting, I do think that would make more sense, but that also makes the 12 far more arbitrary, though once again, you could put it up to some form of fancy. This could be interesting to explore though, because perhaps different cultures might work with different systems, so they can do all the same things, but they can’t read one…[Read more]

@jonas

hehe

@savannah_grace2009

This is a good chapter. I don’t really have any comments for this one.

@jonas

Great point! The math behind it is most definitely there, with patterns that can easily be analyzed in most cases. And I personally regard math as magical in its own way, though just in a different way from music. That could be a cool duel magic system with soft and hard elements with the analytical side, and the perceptual side.

So…[Read more]

@highscribeofaetherium

for real

@jonas

WHAT??? We actually have to get back on track? BORING!!!!!!

Just kidding lol

@jonas

Music as magic has been a concept that has been around since the concepts of both music and magic individually were first dreamt of. It’s played out in history through myths and tales to contemporary fantasy, so there’s a lot of inspiration you could draw from. Common themes are good vs bad, beautiful vs ugly, happy vs sad music, ect…[Read more]

@rae

that’s good XD

30 below and 40 mph winds are probably not the ideal vacation conditions haha

@otherworldlyhistorian

Yea, Junior year has been pretty crazy this year. I’m not so sure six AP’s was as good an idea as I had originally thought 😬 (it is a lot of homework but I will probably be fine, just takes away time from other things). Currently my main novel has been on pause (I still do world building and keep notes of ideas but am not…

@rae

Yeah that would be fun! You should totally come to Montana! Just not during the winters because they’re awful lol

Whoa. that was a little excessive. sorry guys XD

@rae

A hundred cows isn’t actually that many. Our herd is fairly small compared to our neighbors with herds of two to five hundred! We’re more of farmers than ranchers, though personally I enjoy ranching much more. Farming isn’t really my thing. Good thing I don’t have to help much with farming,…[Read more]
