As he should.

Really? I rarely find people who have read or heard of it. Please tell me what you think if you do end up reading it! =)

YES. They make me want to dance, and I do not really know how to dance except to the Lord, so it is quite the chaoticaly gleeful experience. Do you?

Do you play any instrument(s)?

@quarterstaffgirl

A good choice!

Ah, valid. They aren’t the same thing.

Ok, ok. I did not think this through. XD Hmm… I think I would serve tea, scones, and wild rice and chicken soup. Not sure exactly who it would be but most of the canidates would be happy with that. Except for Urchin from The Mistmantle Chronicles. He’s not a carnivorous…[Read more]

@lillian

Aw, thanks! I had fun finding a profile name that was still acurate to me.

Starters….. I’ve killed a few too lol. We mostly keep ours in the fridge until it’s time to use it, but even then it doesn’t always survive. XD Yeasted bread can be delicious too though, thankfully!

Forgotten the taste of cheesecake? I am glad you have…[Read more]

@quarterstaffgirl

Hey! It’s wonderful to have you.

Honestly, time constraints are relateable.

I’m Elishavet, although if you’ve hung around here a while you know that already. I’m also a graduated homeschooler (attending college now), and I mostly write assorted flash fiction, poetry, and short stories. I have a bunch of longer projects jumbled…[Read more]

@beth-torres

I understand! ♥️ I’m glad the fog is clearing a little.

I’ll be praying, Liberty.

@whalekeeper

This is a beautiful introduction! Very useful, even for this veteran RPer.

@liskaboyce

Ah yes, the middle act, the fun and games part, the exhaustive what-are-we-even-doing-right-now pile of pain.

What I’ve recently found to help me (being myself in the final stages of plotting a novel) is to think of this part of the book as when the characters face two big obstacles to reaching their goal, and the aftermath of either…[Read more]

@bilbo-baggins

Nothing. You heard nothing about secrets.

Good choices! I feel like The Hobbit is somehow underrated…. But the third book/volume is so worth finishing. How far are you in it?

Yes! I meant Wingfeather. Sorry for the confusion. XD

Kalmar is a great character! I just recently reread North! Or be Eaten, and I was surprised how…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Yes. That is a good idea. It’s crazy how much lore has developed. I think the Royal school is the most structured/would have the most choas on its hands, but the others have long histories. XD

@koshka

Yayyyyy! I would live to join. =D

@lillian

Greetings and welcome to the Kingdom of Pen!

Books, good food, medieval culture, and a cozy tavern/inn? All necessary and fabulous. *enthusiastic nods* Your WIP/worldbuilding sounds fascinating already.

Also art! Graphite and watercolor are lovely! As are acrylics and digital, you just definetely are beyond me there lol. I’d love to…[Read more]

@lillian

Hello! Ryuu looks/sounds like a great character. He will fit here perfectly.

I don’t know if you found the map of the place, but you are free to put him with the other groups or make up a room/class/instructor as you like!

@whalekeeper

Lore! Yes… Ok…

*brain imediately blanks*

Aha! I have the RP aesthetic. I shall post it again so the newbies don’t have to chase it down in the thread history. (although I do recomend reading back. It’s entertaining stuff.)

@liskaboyce

Whaley’s response is lovely and says quite what I was going to, so I’ll only add:

Ugh. Yes, there are so many different styles of plotting that it gets hard to find one that will work for you. I’ve tried several and have eventually ended up with one that’s a sort of mix between three-act and beats, but using bullet points.

okay that…[Read more]

*Hides behind textbooks*

Oops, I missed this.

A small smile tugged one side of his mouth higher than the other. No magiked arrows this time–just a nearly perfect shot.

“Alcarna, Firefly. Well done.”

Froilán had taken a week to even hit the target. But then, the boy had barely been strong enough to draw the bow.

@lillian

Ryuu sounds like he’ll fit in just fine around here. XD Go ahead and pick a place around the school to drop him in, and we’ll see who’s around to interact!

Ah! A Drakes Tavern sounds like a wonderful idea. I’d definitely pause my questing travels to stay a night. 😉

Questions! Would you rather ride a dragon for a day, o…[Read more]

Ah, I see that is quite a time difference. Hopefully you’re getting some much needed rest by now, but just in case you aren’t (or for whenever you happen to check…[Read more]
