@writerlexi1216 Wow, that was a NaNo snippet??? Goodness, I can’t wait to read the rest then!!! 😀 Aw, poor Caira! She needs to have, like, a class on the subject. “Modern Life 101,” if you will. 😛 Oh my goodness, I already love Asperencia!!!

*gasps* YES, we will 100% turn this into a thing. Ooh, that’s interesting to think about!! Hmm… how would they interact…? I guess we’ll find out!!:) *mind goes blank* Have I ever asked you what Horace’s magic is, by the way?

Aww, thank you!!:D It was one of the many things written during NaNo, so I appreciate that!!:) Yes, poor C…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216 Alright, we’re making this a thing😀 I’m just–so curious as to how our characters would interact. (Especially given their various magic/element powers…>;) )

*gasp* Lexi!!!! This is so good!!!!!!! I legitimately keep giggling to myself every time I read it–I can just feel poor Caira’s confusion. I love how you make her “miss” s…[Read more]

@issawriter7 @mkfairygirl

Well, I guess I’m going to clock out now with 745 words!! THANK YOU both so much for sprinting/inviting me to sprint!!:) Hope y’all’s writing is going fantastic!!:D

Oh, and my favorite line:

The storm on Mount Eclypsia is brewing… and Asperencia is going to be destroyed if you don’t step up to defend them, now.

That pro…[Read more]

@issawriter7

*gasps* Sure, count me in!! Thanks for inviting me!!:)

@lewilliams

*grins* Aww, that would be INCREDIBLE to do!!:) And yes, totally (I’m in a group chat with a few other girls on Google Hangouts, so that would work)!! I have a feeling Caira and Tin would get along very well, but I’m not so sure about Deek and Arvi XD Yay, please do!! I found an excerpt earlier (it’s VERY first draft, but until I can…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216 *gasp* Lexi you’re a genius

That would be so fun!! We should, like, totally make that a thing. Like, over Google Hangouts or something.:D I feel like Caira and Tin would be great friends<3 (Arvi and Deek, on the other hand…maybe not so much XD)

Yesss, please do!! And thanksss–I definitely will!:D

@lewilliams

Of course!! And yes, they certainly are!! (Can I just, like, borrow them forever and ever?:) *gasps* All right, so Random Thought™, but I just thought about this: what if our cast of characters met each other? Like if Tinumali met Caira, and Arvi met Deek, and Horace met Newton… Wow, that would be so interesting to write!!:)
