All these premisses are thrilling!
So… Here’s Nyx’s portrait. It was fun to make and I learned quite a bit about drawing fur in the process. I’m so excited with how it turned out!

You should write a short story about it/in that setting, just ’cause it sounds so “readable”, if that makes sense. You know, the strange ground keeping people could be part of a spy ring or the guardians of a secret…. ok, my train of thought is on a detour. *Note lightbulb over head*

@godlyfantsay12
thank you! This’ll be a welcome challenge.
@anatra23 I’ve read a few of the Redwall books, namely Redwall, Mossflower, The Bellmaker, and that one about the baggers where that lord fellow falls off a cliff 😉 . I haven’t read any in a while though.
Have you read Mistmantle? My brother liked them but didn’t get hooked, while we did.

Hey, @godlyfantasy12, would you mind if I drew Nyx? And if so, does he have any particular markings etc.?

That makes sense. Yes, I think I know what you mean. Like he can talk without speaking.
Thank you for the excerpt!

Um, that’s amazing. Once again, did Nyx SPEAK?!

Koshka replied to the topic Our Book Premises Nerd Space in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 11 months ago
That’s a first draft? Wow. I love it! Did Nyx just speak?

Yeah, nothing I wouldn’t mind reading myself, not to mention a ten year old at our church. Especially when I’m trying to make a very Christain point about the passing of mantles. No need the have my good be evil spoken of!
Ugh, yeah, it is so irritating when a word is placed in the wrong era. I mean, some words don’t matter,…[Read more]

Nyx sounds woundermous! Definitely work him in. He’s so cute! If you have any scenes you could share, I’d be thrilled.

Thanks!
I love your titles! And your books sound cool — I love the fact you have this sibling aspect in 1 and 3😊. Nothing better than some good sibling banter and play offs. A question — are your books about actual animals, or hybrid human-animal type beings, or about humans who are part of a group that call themselves animals?
My sto…[Read more]

I do like it! I honestly couldn’t tell, but then I am the person who it took two books in an allegorical series before I realized Leinad was supposed to be Daniel. A’Grend is a good name though.
You have a fennec fox?! Ok, I love furry creatures in books, and foxes…*sigh* what in Nyx like? Does it’s name mean anything?

Koshka replied to the topic Our Book Premises Nerd Space in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 11 months ago
Your book sounds well beat out. Is it one book or a series? YES, it IS intriguing!
What inspired Possibility? It sounds good and deep. And squirrels are so neat.
I’ve read GE too. They’re wonderful books.
If it’s not too much of a spoiler, where did the name A’Grend come from?

Thank you!
Yes, I have read GE, and it’s a favorite. S. D. Smith is the C. S. Lewis of rabbits!

@elishavet-pidyon Thanks!
All your stories sound cool — I love the sound of the feel in the first one; the second, I just love it in general, it sounds like the sort of story I love to write and read😊; the third — I don’t normally read animal stories, but yours sounds quite fun — have you read the Green Ember? That’s a good series for someone w…[Read more]
