But I won’t be for long, because I actually have to get up tomorrow before nine. (Or eight for that matter. Yikes! 😉 )

@godlyfantasy12

I’m on.

And I love your response, by the way! Nyx is hilarious, and the rest were just, oh my heart.

Mikkel

This room wasn’t a very defensible position, but if the window was filled with sand bags- non-existent sand bags…

Hours upon hours of filling thousands of sandbags…

Mikkel lay down with his back to the door, his rifle beside him where he could keep his hand on it. With his…[Read more]

Of course, Naja probably didn’t like getting separated from her daddy, but I guess she likes Eva. Or doesn’t mind if Nyx is there to cuddle. XD I don’t know, I’ll let her author figure that out. 😉

@freedomwriter76 @koshka @keilah-h @godlyfantasy12

Okay, so I’ll try to get things moving along.

Alyona

“Good night.” Alyona called after Viktor as he and the rest of the boy-men left the room the girls had moved to. It was right above the one with the window and Alyona couldn’t help but think that this was how a sheep must feel when her…[Read more]

@queen_of_alvastia

You’re fine! =) It is an interesting tool though, but a hard one all the same.

@freedomwriter76

Good! (It was.)

Thank you, that makes me so happy. Although, not that I’m happy that you’re crying, which I wouldn’t be, but you know. 😉

That should mean it’s touching; that it moved my audience. XD

@godlyfantasy12

Ah, I love it!

*Sobs*

It’s so, so… Satisfying? Nit that she does, but that’s such a good way to build…[Read more]

@queen_of_alvastia

ONLY DO IT IF IT WILL HELP THE STORY! If the book’s good as is I wouldn’t add one just to deepen it.

It may cause trauma you don’t need.

*Weeps*

@godlyfantasy12

I enjoyed that way too much. I mean really, why do I enjoy reading about character deaths? I despise tragic endings, and a book that makes me cry is probably not going to be high on my list of I just want tos.

But that…that was beautiful.

And now I plead for more!!!

@freedomwriter76

Yeah, that’s really the only reason I’m still going through with it.

And the way it all works out is just so beautiful to this author.

@freedomwriter76

That is a really weird sentence, but totally accurate. XD and obvious. It’s beautiful, even in it’s nastiness.

Alwin also knows he’s gonna die, and literally his only prayer is that 1, his work will continue and that those they’ve reached will not be destroyed, and 2, that if his wife and daughter survive, they will continue…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Good idea!

Now is it why I’m killing him, or why the other characters kill him?

Why I’m killing him is that, well, it’s a little complicated.

When I first had the inspiration for him, it was as a serf that was killed for treason. This I always planned to kill him. However, after the story changed a bit and he became an MC, I…[Read more]

@freedomwriter76

And this is why you can’t let that happen!!!!!!

@freedomwriter76

You said that so much better than me. XD

@godlyfantasy12

Good idea. *Sigh*

Well, the why Oswald dies is…um…to move along the plot by making Mikkel try to commit suicide.

That sounds awful.

And this is why I feel so cold hearted.

There are other reasons…although most of them are about as bad.

@koshka

Should I?

I need to work on it a little, but talking about it might help.

@elishavet-pidyon

I already know, so if you want to… 😉

@godlyfantasy12

Awwwwwwwwww.

That’s so sweet, but not in a sugary way, if you know what I mean.

And I love that there’s hope in it. Like I’ve said before, a hopeless death is worse than tragic.

@freedomwriter76 @godlyfantasy12 @elishavet-pidyon

Y’all are making me feel so cold hearted. XD

Does anyone want to know how Alwin does?

Heh, heh.

I’m not sure why I’m asking, except that like everything else in those books, his death is based off of a real testimony. (Several different missionaries, actually.)

And I love it!

Even though I HATE it.
