@esther-c @keilah-h I bet we can get there before 2026. We just have maybe twoish more class periods and lunch before the dance.

@everyone would people be ok with making classes end early today to give the students time to get ready and to make the dance come quicker? I’m thinking one more class period, lunch, and then one last class.

Honestly, Slack would be a good option, I’ve used it for other writing groups and it works super well. The only problem is that the free version keeps messages for only 90 days, which could become an issue…

Ooh interesting first question! Let’s see here… For my current WIP…

Audrey’s primary response is definitely freeze. She just needs to stop, take in the situation, and figure out what to do, although her fears and anxieties often drown out the voice of logic to begin with. And then her secondary response is flight. If she can’t control or figure…[Read more]

I can help!! Characters are my favoriteeeee

*emerges from the dust and shadows*

Has the dance even happened yet?

Actually, I think there was a point in the drafting or planning stage that lowkey forgot Brandon existed 💀🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

@theducktator

Awww, thank you so much girl!!! 💖 I appreciate you taking the time to read through it all! <33

Do you have any additional feedback after having read the whole thing?

@savannah_grace2009

No that’s really helpful! Tysm!!

Made a fun artsy thing tonight! My drawing frustrations feel a lot better now. (Ignore the weird space above)

Lois

“I suppose.” Lois felt his worry go dull, like a voice being muffled in a midwinter snowfall. He let the flakes bury it, and turned back to the science project. He’d check in with Brea before tonight.

After identifying the last mineral, a chalky white crumbly rock, the group looked around to find that they…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon

Did you find it?

@whalekeeper

I did not make up the minerals, they are real.

Well I’m dumb XD

Still, that’s cool though.

@loopylin @elishavet-pidyon I did not make up the minerals, they are real. But I have worldbuilt to the point where I can guess what’s there cuz of location history. XD I’ve toyed with the idea of researching certain materials.

Hugo

“Huh.” Hugo absently arranged the rocks into a circle on his desk. “I was always a bit of a role-player. I’d p…[Read more]

@whalekeeper I am impressed that your worldbuilding has gone as far as making up new minerals for the world. Did you make those up on the spot?

@elishavet-pidyon Whenever I write Dante, I definitely overuse the word “grin” too, lol. Sometimes words just stick i guess

Lois

Lois gave a simple nod. He wrote down something in his class notes, then…[Read more]

@loopylin @elishavet-pidyon (Hi!)

Hugo

It was funny to see what the book said about each mineral. It said the corpse crystal was uncommon, which didn’t make sense at all. Hugo also identified the magnetite and schreibersite without much trouble. Magnets and meteorites collected where he lived. The thought turned into a mixed feeling as he…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon @whalekeeper

Lois

Lois looked down at the textbook. Corpse crystal wasn’t actually the scientific name given in the book, but, just like fool’s gold was another name for pyrite, Hugo was technically correct.

“And what are you talking about besides that, anyway?”

“Living imaginary friends and little siblings.” Lois put away t…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon

Yeah the challenge is still open for anyone! I have no idea when the characters will be finished if I do draw them, but I’ll try not to take very long. I’d really love to read your short story.

@elishavet-pidyon @loopylin

Hugo

“Odd number of people.” Hugo settled onto the dark oak seat next to Victor. When he saw some of the students nervously covering their mouths as they mixed and matched substances, he took his scarf and pulled it over his freckled nose. His voice came out muffled. “Ah, you said… I want to guess. Is it corpse…[Read more]

I should say spring. Where I am, you really only get an extended autumn and then switch right back to summer, so May just feels like summer.
