Somehow, even though whenever we actually write in his story he’s a bundle of adventureous dreams and joy, he has always had this doom hanging over him.

His name somehow communicates that to me. Not concretely, but you know what I mean. It sounds dreamy to me, but also a little foreboding because of the –lor ending.

I think his s…

Thank you for contributing these lovely little memes today.

You need to tell me who Inglor is. I am a touch concerned for him. 😅 It sounds like he thinks he’s okay and he isn’t really okay.

Also, Remi meme! Heehee! I… may or may not be writing a novella for him. That may or may not be happening as we speak.

@savannah_grace2009

Heck yes, it’s overstimulating. Hopefully it will calm down and everyone will settle! Or we’ll get used to it, I suppose. Either way, I’m thankful because the site was beginning to look desolate.

@quarterstaffgirl

*Comes in, closes the door behind me, and crashes on the nearest beanbag* Undeniably yes. It’s my comfort series. Who is your favorite character, what is your favorite book, why do you like the series, and do you have any other opinions you wish to report?

@elishavet-pidyon

You are very welcome

@savannah_grace2009

Heeyyyyy, so uh… yeah, things are a little chaotic at the present. It hasn’t been happening for long! I believe we started getting new members on Monday? Not sure. We are all alive, some of us just barely. We were used to the quieter pace and now things are changing. This place is busy again. :]

@quarterstaffgirl

I would kind of like to be siblings with the Wingfeathers (tho that would throw off the entire plot), or Kate from Mysterious Benedict Society. Those come to mind first.

*Peeks at this conversation through a crack in the door*

Are you… a big fan of Mysterious Benedict Society?

@quarterstaffgirl

You’re welcome! Our brains need room to breathe and generate ideas without rules. Sometimes we cause our problems by putting too many walls around ourselves, hehe.

@liskaboyce

You literally just answered the question I’ve been asking myself: why have I never finished first drafts? It’s because the middle of my book always feels forced!!!

There you have it! When I talk with people, either about my own work or theirs, that section in between the inciting incident and the midpoint is almost always the pro…[Read more]

@loopylin

Rallascant, you fuzzy snitch. You’re the opposite of a lucky rabbit’s foot.

I do appreciate your sass, but this is remarkably unhelpful.

@whalekeeper Do ittt

@whalekeeper @rae @keilah-h this doesn’t directly affect your characters yet but im tagging you anyway

Rallascant

Rallascant had been shooed away from the vegetable garden by the local Iris many times, but this time he was sure he would get away with it. He sat among the green leaves, legs and rabbit ears tucked in to remain as unnoticeable as…[Read more]

I have the desire to add a new little guy to this. A guy with fun frilly sleeves

@koshka @loopylin

Moth

Well done. Moth’s chest rose a little.

He tilted his head in a sort of shrug, eying his attempt. It looked like he had some skill – even though that was not true. His initial wish for the shot had been much humbler. “I must make offerings to serendipity in my sleep. How do I know where the arrowhead will fly?”

@liskaboyce

Yeah, the middle part of a story is always the weirdest part. Koshka and Quicksilver made good points. I think a huge part of it is coming up with obstacles, and then connecting them to lead to the midpoint.

Follow-up question. Is it possible that the structure isn’t the issue, but that it’s incredibly difficult to think of actual…[Read more]

@koshka

I’ll see if I can borrow this through my library! I was planning to get into my local library this week anyway. Interlibrary loans should give me access to this.

I haven’t read Adorning the Dark, but I’ve heard of it. I’ve heard good things about it. It has a lovely title.

@grcr

In the space of a couple days, we’ve started making new accounts for people again, and this is the result. Lots of people. 😅

Unless any random monster shows up and attacks. That would throw everything off. Not saying it’ll happen, but it’s always a possibility.

Ehehehehe

@ellette-giselle @elishavet-pidyon @keilah-h

There is a topic for explaining the roleplays now. As most of you know. I only gave basic blurbs for the most recently active three.

They are concept blurbs, not plot summaries. I could probably make plot summaries too. That will take longer, but hey, it would be helpful.

I’m thinking of Labyrinth…[Read more]
