I’ll probably share the full thing at some point, but the basic blurb is in a world where heroes walk the streets, the one man who doesn’t want to become a hero has the most powerful gift in the world.

Well now I want to know what his gift is. We love a story about an average joe who is involuntarily chosen to be a cosmic keystone or som…[Read more]

I really love this concept for Taylor’s powers. It reminds me of people in real life who dissociate or have maladaptive daydreaming which helps them with stress, but has the danger of separating them too far from themselves and reality. The description at the beginning was especially my favorite.

As far as grammar goes, I…[Read more]

I’m glad that brought you joy. I aspire to open writers’ eyes to new perspectives on their characters.

Moving on.

@beth-torres

I tried adding that one guy, but he was too crazy and brain-hurt…ly…

My goodness, I think he got buried under the other rps. I’m so sorry. Ramen, right? We should figure out how to start an interaction with him. I have too many characters at the moment… but surely we can figure something out.

More likely than not, I sha…

On the contrary, I think the high-pressure social environment – combined with emotional stressors from home and learned stiff posture – would probably cause the opposite. Perhaps glute clenching.

You took me out. I got a notif for this in the middle of class during a break and I could not stop grinning for a while. Imagine that was canon and important enough for Ari to notice.

@beth-torres

*composes self* I am a mature woman.

Yes, yes, we’re all mature women here.

Students farted along the halls.

I’m assuming you meant to type “darted”, but this is hilarious to me. It sounds like something my dad (a teacher) would say

Ok here’s what they’re walking into

Lois

Lois felt that he had checked every room in the castle by now, looking for that aggravating automaton. He had not, of course. The academy was very large, and there were plenty of private or restricted areas. But still, he was tired. He cradled a mug of black coffee he had gotten from…[Read more]

Literally, I have no idea where to start, so this is helpful.

No prob! What sort of stuff are you itching to find?

If you’re looking for advice, it helped me to find out my hair type (you can just look up “hair types” on Google) – there are some product-specific recommendations for each, I think.

That’s probably a good move. G…[Read more]

Ooh, okay this is a really good question, but I think I might be able to help!

First of all, take the pressure off of yourself to find “that project.” Several years ago, when I was just starting to take writing seriously, I heard another writer call her project her “heart novel,” or something along those lines. That put in my mind…[Read more]

Extra note. If the forums look slightly different, it’s partially because we moved some of the roleplays into a new “Roleplays” forum section.

Stuff like the Labyrinth and Royal rps are on there.

What’s the story idea? You always have the option to talk about it on here. 🙃 Throw a few ideas back and forth, post snippets. Even if it’s just a small thing.

I’ve started work on a secret-ish novella. Not really secret, I guess… Anyway. If you have any novella tips, since you’ve written one, throw them at me.

How have you been?

yes we were totally taking over her intro post 🤭 thanks for moving it over here!

Haha I love that!

Oh yes, that’s a very good start hehe 🙂‍↕️ That’s so sweet though!! I hope everything goes smoothly with all the planning and such!

Awww, I love that!! That’s a short engagement though! (Which is completely fine, I’ve just never seen that before, so it’s really cool!) What do you have planned for the wedding?

I like knowing where other folks come from and what they believe. It’s a topic that we seemed to steer clear of, yet has so much to do with who we are and why we do what we do. Perhaps, its because its so personal and close that we’re a little hesitant to open up to people.

Yes! It’s important to be able to discuss things like this. Whe…[Read more]

Moth

“We’ll find it. Come.” Moth put down his things and left by the archery range entrance, slowing to make sure he was being followed.

We’re back in business! Good to see you around! <3 What have you been up to?

Aww, I love sibling dynamics. I can tell those are brother and sister. And not just because they have matching outfits, although those are fab.

Ok here we go, Jasper can speak. Sorry for his insulting(ish) assumption here.

Jasper

“Have you been to war, Wolfgang?” Jasper asked the question in a friendly, less weighted voice. There was little chance the boy had.

*Stamp of approval* I think I like the Stormwatcher brothers one and the Ari one best.

Ellis

Ellis’ brow furrowed. “Chemistry, I believe.”

He was mildly surprised by Ari caving, but he didn’t show it.

“I am not sure where the classroom is, though.”

No problem with little skirmishes.

Yeahh conflict is fun. That’s why I pointed it out :]

Yeeaaah that’s true. :-p They could easily turn sour towards each other. And that’s okay. No problem with little skirmishes.

Koshka, I was a little mentally exhausted last night, and when I tried to write, this collection of images suddenly flashed in my mind. I’m afraid I saw our characters as these cats.

Moth

“Come with us, Ari.” Moth let his antennae droop, just a little.

Ellis

Ellis began putting away his gear as he listened to the other two.

“What is the point of an academy, then?” he asked Ari. “Did you come here unwillingly?”

UM EXCUSE ME??!!

apparently I did miss a lot!! When did you get engaged??? That’s so exciting!!! < 33

I would have replied sooner but every time I tried to log into KP it wouldn’t load 😭

-Hmmmm. Gael, Tavion and Raven.

Cool!! None of those names ring a bell… are they from your WIP or a different book??

-Writing traveling. Getting my charries from A to B. ALSO editing it just AWFUL XD I love draft one…. I just love the whole thing…

Moth

“Yes. I will go to your science class. And Ari will come with us.”

Ellis

Ellis started at the mention of learning. Right. This was a school. He looked up at the large clock above the gym entrance.

“There is a science class on my schedule that starts soon. I hadn’t decided yet if I was going to attend.”

I appreciate this! When things get heated. . . it makes me feel blah. 🤣

Understandable. 😅 It always makes me feel bad too. Don’t worry about it.
I appreciate the verses as reference! Thank you for your perspective. It’s always interesting to read about. And it is good to hear other people’s personal stories.
This might feel like I’m…[Read more]

Yayy, he caught them both off guard

Moth

Ari and Ellis were almost smiling; that was easy to sense. Inwardly, Moth couldn’t help but glow. He kept a firm countenance.

He lifted his bow one last time. “If I make this, Ari must pay homage to my superior skills.”

Unfortunately for him, his arm’s strength gave out before he co…[Read more]
