Faith

@theducktator

hehe yeah I love strange, slightly unhinged writer protagonists. And I can see how that’d be helpful

I’ve drawn lying down on the floor before. My shoulders usually start to hurt pretty quickly in that position though. I usually have my ipad in my lap and I just kinda curl around it.

@linus-smallprint whoops I forgot. Just sent a request

@keilah-h You’re totally right XD I did not think of that

@linus-smallprint

How do we want to treat this website in relationship to the original KP community?

Everything you said in response to this was really well put, thank you. I feel resolved about the subject now, I think. I plan on being active on both websites anyway.

Have any of you used Notion?

Just downloaded it and it seems like a helpful app.…[Read more]

Fun fact: the original Felicity had a tail and could turn invisible

@Elishavet-pidyon

Glad you like them! 😊

Does she need tea and cookies? Someone to watch her back?

Everyone needs tea and cookies sometime. *Hands Fel a mug and a plate of treats* *She nods to you gratefully and nibbles a cookie*

I can see a little how she’s changed from when you first introduced her.

Yeah, she used to be an ex assassin, then a s…[Read more]

@theducktator

In that case, I don’t think this writing strategy applies to her. If it’s public knowledge, it’s going to be reader knowledge. You could maybe hide her emotional reaction to the tragedy until later, since she needs to act strong for her country. (If you wanted. Just an idea.)
But I think in this case, it’s good to introduce her with…[Read more]

@theducktator

Was it a war or an assassination or something? Maybe this just doesn’t apply to your character?

@whalekeeper

Hehe yesss these memes are excellent. I shall send them to my brother.

@whalekeeper

I had a feeling this might resonate with you.

( I wanna share this discovery with other people too though, but tags are scaryyy)

In conclusion, my apologies for tempting you to reveal secrets.

Don’t apologize. Questions like that are really motivating to keep me writing since I know someone is actually interested. So thanks :]

@loopylin

I know I was the one asking you, but this is my reason for holding backstories back too. This is it. My characters have those quirks that are connected to their past, but if I revealed the past, the cat’s out of the bag and it feels almost taboo.

In conclusion, my apologies for tempting you to reveal secrets. I shall always be on the…[Read more]

This isn’t a rant. I just didn’t know where to post this. But I found a thing on Pinterest that I think explains exactly why I don’t like talking about my character’s backstories:

(not that all my characters have sad backstories. I’m actually a pretty nice author by comparison to most lol)

@keilah-h

Sorry if she’s acting odd. I’m still trying to figure out how to write her accurately.

Felicity

“Emu. Ee-mu.” Felicity slowly sounded the strange word out to herself. She laughed.

“Emus, bird people, lizard people, trolls, disappearing boyfriends… Heh. This is insane.” She held her head in her hands, and backed away from the dead…[Read more]
