@daughteroftheking Oh, c’mon, it can’t be that bad… XD I was just looking through a fantasy novel I wrote when I was 8, and one line was, “We don’t want to go there looking like we been fighting with a baby squirrel!” XD
@catwing The Kingdom thanks thee for protecting us from thy devious villain. *bows* *bestows some sort of fitting honor upon y…[Read more]

@livylynn Welcome! Not sure if she’s already been here or if someone else has already said something, but I know we have at least one other twenty something person hanging around… *sidelong glance at @hope* 😉
Once again, welcome aboard! We look forward to having you around! 😀

@clairec Ugh, humidity is definitely the worst. 🙁 Winter doesn’t sound too bad though; maybe I’ll have to come visit sometime. 😉

Oh goodness, names… what makes them too much… let’s see.
I’d say that most everything has already been said- I especially agree with Josiah about making sure the names sound like they’re from a similar culture for everyone within the same culture of your story. But then, maybe you have someone with a name from a different culture, and maybe it…[Read more]

@graciegirl Thanks!
@emily No problem. 😉 Anytime! 😀

@emma-flournoy Thanks so much! It’s definitely been different, but in a good way. I’ve nothing to complain of… yet. 😉
@clairec Yes, but at least I have an end in sight! How cool does it get there during your winter? Do you prefer the hotter or cooler weather?
@f5a8c3e92 Isn’t it great? 😀

@sage-g I’m ‘fraid I haven’t time at the moment to catch up on everything that’s been said, but may I just say welcome, welcome, and a thousand times welcome to our kingdom! *sweeping bow* The more Keepers the world has, the better. 😀
Also, homeschooling is awesome! *high-fives you*
I can’t wait to see you around! 😀

@emily It worked! This ever-loyal sidekick is at your service. *sweeping bow*
So when I make collages, I’ve made several using only pictures that I’ve taken, which is the safest way but also the harder way. I have NOT been able to do that for my own characters… at least not yet. I may do one like that for Annie yet since she’s based off me, but…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy OH!!! Sorry, I’d already forgotten about that… life right now… especially this week. I’m taking three college classes and have quizzes in all three this week, so busyness has taken on a whole new meaning. XD Yes. We need all you mentors to mentor us. 😀

@emma-flournoy What are you laughing at? Don’t you think British and Southern make a good combination? XD Seriously though, if you think about it, you could make a really interesting fantasy culture by basing it off of both Southern and British… NO. I DON’T NEED ANY MORE IDEAS RIGHT NOW. *slams door on British-Southern world starting to form…[Read more]

Of those three, Fools in the Darkness is definitely the most intriguing. I’d actually say I like it best of anything else suggested so far; it’s enticingly enigmatic, and (from the perspective of someone who hasn’t read the book 😉 ) it grabs my attention and makes me want to read it.
So when can I expect it to be published? XD

@salome01w4g She’s actually pretty much based off of me, so… yeah. We must have a lot in common. ;P 🙂
@mariposa *laughs dryly* A title? Is that really so important? 😛
No, no title yet. It is the most difficult book I’ve ever worked on as far as finding a title is concerned.

@graciegirl Thanks! I have a lot of fun taking pictures and finding verses to go with them- and God has given so many opportunities to do so with His marvelous creation! 😀
@jane-maree THAT COLLAGE. *dies* When can I read this book?!
@salome01w4g So glad you figured it out! That collage looks great!
Here’s a collage I did for a character in the…[Read more]

@clairec But… I couldn’t really join in that debate, since I’m not on either side. I’m not adamantly against or adamantly for coffee. I’ll drink it every once in a while if I need to stay awake and study (not that it does much good ;P ), but I definitely prefer hot chocolate. Arctic White Hot Chocolate, to be exact. 😀
@daughteroftheking YES TO…[Read more]

Hey, it did! *jumps up and down in ecstasy*

*gasps* We have a thread for this?! I’ve been gone too long! *grins* This is one of my favorite things to do in the history of ever.
@salome01w4g I can try to help tomorrow if you want; I have a friend I’ve been able to help a couple times before, so I’m willing to give it a shot- though no guarantees. ;P
I’m actually going to try something new……[Read more]

@clairec It was only 8:20 p.m. in my part of America when you posted that, so… I’m gonna guess most of us are still awake.
Also, I desperately want some Caramel Apple Blondie Cheesecake. I’ve never had it, but it sounds absolutely amazing… 😀 😀 😀
And our good King @Daeus has already declared all Keepers members of Parliament, so welcome…[Read more]

*tries to rush back into Parliament quietly* *stumbles and ends up nose to nose with one of the vapor-wake dragons* *stands and brushes self of in dignified fashion* What? XD
I like the idea of a never ending party; we can just celebrate the new website until it gets updated again in a few years. Then we can start all over again! 😀
Also, @winter-…[Read more]

@clairec I’m pretty sure you are… I can’t wait for the rest to show up! 😀
@winter-rose *is sad for you* Mushrooms are yummy… though my brother once described their flavor as “resembling stale erasers,” so I s’pose they’re just not for everyone. XD
@hope I’m more than willing to be pounced on if you’re going to teach me everything you know and…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy YAY!!! Another eccentric mentor! We need as many of those as we can get. Perhaps we should put all of you on a list and then randomly assign you people to mentor… a new person every week until we get through all the keepers or something. That could be fun. 😀
