*Waves* Aww thank you! I like yours too! 🙂
Basically, a dystopia is the opposite of a utopia. So usually, a dystopian story is set in the future usually with a corrupt government, futuristic stuff, and some kind of disease or war that like makes things…messy XD. Like, an apocalypse sorta idk.
It really is! I’ve written a…[Read more]

Thanks! I have some more contemplative lines, especially in the one where he’s given charge of the heir. You know, the whole “here I am, guarding one who’s father I let die. I hope this doesn’t get him killed too.”
But Wilfred has a resilient humor that I’ve had fun expounding on.
Yes, fanfics are great!
Yours sounds so good. That’s a…[Read more]

Wow, I’m also late to this XD
Holiday stuff, ya know…
Those covers are gorgeous! I especially liked the second one! The details are awesome, and I love the titles! That’s so cool that you can draw like that too. I mostly just use Canva for my graphics/covers, and even that is pretty difficult (for me anyways) XD

Hello and welcome to KP!
Also, sorry this is
kinda(more like really) late XDMy name is Ava and I write mostly sci-fi/dystopian stuff, but I also write a little fantasy and poetry at times. 🙂
That’s cool that you write non-fiction too! I’ve never been brave enough to actually write it, although I enjoy reading it.
I guess…[Read more]

Yeah for sure! I haven’t seen it yet! I’m kinda behind on Marvel movies rn (i.e. Hawkeye, Shang Chi, the Loki Show…) Yaaaa I know XD
I did get to watch NWH, which was amazing (and heart breaking tbh) Have you seen it?

Haha, ugh. I’ll have to finish it. It was actually somewhere in Waterloo that I bottomed out. After a few attempts to read on, I returned the book to the library.
Yes! A complex backstory is like honey in sourdough. Technically not necessary, but important if you want to make good dinner rolls. 😉
As for a favorite trope? Well,…[Read more]

XD Oh no! Yeah, I would like him to live longer, but I think it’s an important plot point, character struggle, and place to relate to the reader. He is a protagonist, though, so… I don’t know. For a complete confession, (and funny fact) I actually made his character starting from his death and moving backward. It’s been an…[Read more]

Thanks, and your welcome! I probably talk about my books waayyy too much. XD

Ugh, yes. Why, oh, why must authors think they have to – or that it’s just fine if they do? IT’S GOD’S WORD, not a toy?! And like you said, the Bible is moving in itself. No need for embellishment.
*Heavy sigh*
ANYWAY….

Thank you! Sometimes it feels like I’ll never get my books written and ready.
The first two in the series are set in a medieval time period, while the last is sort of World War/War on Terror time. I am using animal characters (sort of like Green Ember or Redwall) only I’m writing it for an older audience (Of course, the books…[Read more]

It really is! I’m enjoying it 🙂
Oh yeah! My brothers were the same way (and still kind of are) but they respect him, especially after his arc came full circle in End Game. It is intriguing! Marvel’s character developments are priceless.

Me too. Especially when it’s unexpected, like when it appears that the antagonist has “bested” the protagonist, but then in a few words that changes. XD

Hello, and welcome to KP! (Sorry for the belatedness of this welcome.) I am Koshka, or at least that’s what I’m called around here. I have two major WIPs at this point. One is a non-magical medieval-fantasy trilogy which has gained my central focus. I’m hoping to be able to aventually publish it. The other is a historical fiction…[Read more]

Aww, it’s so sweet and musical. I like how you incorporated melody into it, and your description of Aaria’s death is beautiful. It’s one of those stories that obviously has a backstory but more isn’t really needed.

Thank you! I’m still in the plotting-building stage, but I think I like how it’s going.
I haven’t read beyond his Arethtrae series, but what I’ve read of his is good. We really like the Knights of Arethtrae.
