    Hello! (I get that about character loving, lol.) Animating! That’s cool! Do you use that for your stories at all?

    If you have any characters, how many do you have?

    A lot. My current project has ten main POV characters (and some main characters who get slight POVs, and some major side characters. . . .)

    Which perspective do you enjoy most:…

    @jonas

    Nice to meet you! What is the fantasy universe like?

    Do you write more traditional (medieval European setting) fantasy, or more unique settings, or a mix?

    Great question, and it depends. I’ve mostly written traditional, but that was in my early days before I read much fantasy. So, what little I have written from those days is terrible. I…[Read more]

    @esther-c

    Hello, nice to meet you! As for your first question, I cannot answer, lol. (I’m wondering, can you? I love asking other people this question, but for me, my characters are my children and I can’t pick favorites.)

    2. If you could visit any country in the world, where would it be and why? How about a fictional country?

    New Zealand, for…[Read more]

    That hurt my brain in a wonderful way. I shall have to ponder this further.

    @acancello

    Hello! (Another homeschooler, wonderful!) The genre you write sounds fascinating. . . . that’s an area that’s criminally underwritten (in my opinion).

    Favorite book series: Lewis’s Space Trilogy. Though I’m really enjoying the History of Middle-Earth, too. (The Book of Lost Tales Part 1 is hilarious.) I don’t really play sports,…[Read more]

    @thearcaneaxiom

    Hello! Nice to meet you! What sort of sci-fi/fantasy have you read? (Most important question: have you read Lewis’s Space Trilogy?)

    Worldbuilding. . . . probably more hard worldbuilding, though it depends on what I’m writing. For my current project, definitely hard worldbuilding.

    My WIP is kinda complicated, but here’s the b…[Read more]

    Hello, hybrid! Fellow homeschooler (or graduated homeschooler, anyway). Do you do online school, or a co-op, or just textbooks?

    I highly approve of your reading choice. 🙂

    My favorite book is the Silmarillion; favorite series, Lewis’s Space Trilogy.

    My WIP is kinda complicated, but here’s the basic outline: in the early days of the world…[Read more]

    Hello, Janessa! (I love that name, btw.)

    I’m working on the first book in a fantasy series (and am slowly losing my mind over it, but so it goes). I used to write middle-grade mysteries, for fun or for my siblings, and I’ve done some historical fiction. My problem is, I constantly get ideas and switch from story to story, so they rarely get…[Read more]

    Mae govannen, Euodia! Elen síla lúmenn’ omentielvo. Yes, I looove Tolkien. I enjoy watching the movies (as long as I’m allowed to rant about everything wrong with them, lol), but the books are my favorite (especially books on the First Age). I’ve read LOTR, The Hobbit, The Silmarillion (my favorite!), Unfinished Tales, and I’m working on HoME (…[Read more]

    My name is Sarah. I’m a Tolkien geek, book lover, and fantasy writer. High-quality Christian content is one of my passions, and something I hope to achieve in my writing. I’m always looking for communities who feel the same, and I’m looking forward to exploring this one!
