Hi, nice to meet you!

We do have one role play going on that you can join (I know because I made it, lol) if you want. We’re pretty far along, but you can hop in anytime! It’s the one titled “Character Party” on the General Writing Discussions session. If you happen to join, you might want to read all the previous RP’s so you…[Read more]

Ottoline

Her hands shook as she fingered the delicate blue fabric. This is for me?  She wondered. What kind of person do they think I am? She could never wear that, she decided. This was too beautiful a dress for someone like her. She ran a hand through her tangled ha…[Read more]

Oh, sorry, it is chapter 6!

Well, two years have passed, and Sef has been abused, so that changes her personality a little bit. They both get older and more mature. What do you mean by different, like personality?

@thearcaneaxiom

I’m putting more thought into the 4th chapter. Then I’m going to make it so Lilitu gets 2 chapters. What do you think of the revisal?

Chapter 4: A theif

“Git your grubby fingers off that bread!” Lilitu froze. He looked longingly at the loaf of bread which might as well have been a bar of gold, before turning to face the e…[Read more]

@jonas

Wow, how are you so good at creating magic systems? i’m so jealous, lol

@acancello

“A masquerade party?” Amir said, completely bewildered. “Why?”

“Maybe they’re torturing us,” Hugo joked, “what could be worse than dressing up and dancing with girls?” He laughed, seeming to have made a full recovery.

Girl I legit started laughing!!!

“That’s strange,” Amir commented from the floor, “these clothes, this rack here.…

@whalekeeper

They’re going great, and I’ve been getting so much great feedback on my story? How about you?

@thearcaneaxiom

Do you think that the Paynes of the labor camp would use names still, but perhaps only in hushed tones especially around Pythonos?

Yeah I think so.

 An issue that I’m beginning to see now however is that it still feels like there’s no continuity of characters. Who do the readers connect to? Once they get to know one set of char…

@acancello @mineralizedwritings

Yeah I’m good with whatever 🙂

@traiblazer

KP ate my original post where I had put all the ages of the McKinleys and so I had to hurry and redo it. So I must have forgotten to put Esther’s age, but she’s seven like @grcr said.

@trailblazer

They’re both still young though, so any romance between them would have to stay pretty light and not get too serious until they’re a little older. Bennett also is going to the army when he turns 17 or 18, but depending how their relationship would play out, they could write letters to each other and such.

I know you also said Tin…

Sorry guys, I’m super late! Anything important that I missed that I should know before I make my “family”?

@thearcaneaxiom

I have thought about what you said about the problems with Ottoline’s character, and have decided on a few new things about her history. I was thinking that instead of just the “laboratory”, that they take the Paynes to a work camp to build tools and new technology. Then if they become sick, or get out of line, then the Pythonos…[Read more]

Ottoline

She knew that he was waiting for her to tell him her story. They all were. Her first instinct was to shove the memories away. But he had been vulnerable and shared his. And so she began.

Letting go of his hand, just for a moment, she brought her shaking hands…[Read more]

@keilah-h

thanks!

@acancello

Thanks! They are so sweet 😭

@acancello

Yeah, that was kind of my plan that they could share each other’s stories!

Also, I love their “romance” they’re sooooo cute!!!

HOTTOLINE FOREVER!!!

Ottoline

“It’s going to be okay,” Hugo said, his voice cracking. Ottoline barely even heard him. She could still hear Jraldath’s words echoing in her mind…worthless…stupid….ugly, she could still feel the jarring sensation as she hit the floor. It is not okay, …[Read more]
