I think some YouTubers make Minecraft way too loud and showy. My brothers watch competitive YouTubers and I’ve never caught on to that. The game by itself is much more impactful.

Minecraft is the kind of thing I never thought I’d enjoy. But one day it clicked. I think the combination of the music and graphics have the same uncanny feel as old memories. Pieces of the world make sense, but much of it is random and silent. It’s such a strange, melancholic feeling.

@highscribeofaetherium yeah, but again, those who aren’t familiar with Minecraft might not get it.

@ellette-giselle

Hey, I was right.

Good chapters. Jonathan’s arc is starting to turn around, yay! 😁 I liked the way you did that, and the ending of the last chapter.

@keilah-h

I mean The Nether through Cave Spider Rollercoaster kind of had a story, but it was more like crazy event after another as they tried to get back to the PC.

@highscribeofaetherium oh yeah I forgot about that. The third season is really the only one with a story.

@ellette-giselle really?

Guess sandbox games aren’t your thing then. (Sandbox=doesn’t really have a set story, you do whatever you want. Minecraft is that way cause you can choose to turn on hostile enemies and fight them every night, or you can just mine around. Or just turn on “creative mode” and have access to everything without having to…[Read more]

The first two seasons are definitely not as good, but they’re also just supposed to be fun and developing the character’s personalities. They’re not intended to be as reliant on story.

If you haven’t ever played Minecraft I definitely  see how you might not have liked the first two (or fourth) seasons.

@ellette-giselle

 Just the whole minecraft stuff was driving me out of my mind. I felt like with that one he was relying more on the novelty of having his stick figures in a video game then his actual story.

Can’t say I agree. But maybe that’s cause I actually play Minecraft and know it inside and out. You said before you don’t play video games,…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Because the King and Purple’s stories are amazing?

Did you not like it or did you just not find it sad?

@ellette-giselle

All of them? Including Noteblock Universe and The King?

@the_lost-journal

Writers can insert two sides of themselves into that conversation and it still tracks. XD

@elishavet-pidyon

I appreciate the thoughts! I hadn’t thought much about items before – although specific things come to mind. My goal is to make this character less of a person to mourn for, and more of a person to enjoy reading about. *Bows and offers you a jar of glitter to poof yourself back home if needed*

@the_lost-journal Have at it then!!

@ellette-giselle

All good things, hopefully?

I liked these two chapters. Amber handled Jonathan very well, and I’m excited to see him have the conversation with Michael. I also want to know how their mission goes.

Why do I feel like this is the part where you might kill someone off?

@ellette-giselle It’s okay!! I’m late to reading them anyway.

@theshadow

Hey! I’m doing pretty good, how are you?

No worries, I know the end of the school year is chaotic. 😂 I’ll add you to the new doc!

Thanks! Glad you like him. 😅 He’s one of my favorites too.

@theshadow thanks lol

they’re hilarious together ngl. also they probably have joint ownership of like 5 brain cells lol

Hey guys, I’ve been thinking. How do you encourage a reader to like a character who is already dead? And with minimal flashbacks? And and without being boringly sad? I have a few ideas, but this has been a challenge so far and I was wondering what everyone else thinks.

@rae

Yep. Poor Sniper.

ikr, poor guy.

i love how it’s just like:

the character: is a literal assassin and would know like 10 ways to kill me if I got within a mile of him. Plus my augmentations to him give him two or three more of those ways to kill me.

me: I feel so bad for you, your life is so tragic. I would give you a hug if I weren’t con…[Read more]
