That looks like a functional possibility. *Nods to self* Yes, if the dear old Kingdom of Pen collapses, we won’t be left behind buried in the rubble.

*Strokes stone archway affectionately*

Also, having looked at the YWW (YDubs) page set up, I really appreciate the simplicity of KP’s page function. Topics on YWW are continuous…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Awesome.

Probably good advice. I would, but it’s already in his backstory, and I didn’t want to go back and change it now.

And I mostly just lost it when I realized that this, being a modern real life setting, I couldn’t go sort through or make up the customs and laws myself, like I could for nearly any of my other WIPs.…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Ah, thank you! This is a lot of helpful information.

Okay, so the kid is in Canada at the time (Quebec) as that’s the family residence. I have found a bit of legal stuff for Canada by now, but haven’t started looking into the American side. This is so beautifully concise (which legal documents are definitely not).

This is…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

Okay, thanks though. Neither do I.

*Uncertain laughter*

@stephie

Hmmm, not a bad idea. I’ll look into that.

@ellette-giselle

Alrighty. =)

Also not certain exactly how an ongoing murder investigation would pan out/effect things, when there’s no clear suspect or solid evidence besides the dad’s work (Parents were…[Read more]

And technically he’s from Quebec, do some stuff is in French. Which is certainly interesting, just not helpful. O_o

@whalekeeper

That would be lovely. I might just have to recruit you, if I can find stuff.

I did find something called the Youth Act, but while it had a lot of instructions for foster organizations, it didn’t seem to have any for a kid who has no parents left.

@whalekeeper

Any call for assistance is greatly appreciated. I have no clue who to tag.

(Totally didn’t freak out when I realized that since this book is technically set in the real world it has to at least look believable, and I can’t just write the law myself. Fantasy author problems)

@theducktator

Well, it wasn’t Google’s expertise either.…[Read more]

@grcr

Oh my word. Those are hilarious.

No, I can’t say I’ve wondered that particular question, but I do get that type of thing. Like wondering what you call an albino bluebird.

To the fear question:

Zlati is flight (his more natural response) and then fight (the response he’s leaned to survive his brother)

Vulka…well, you kind of have to feel fear to have a response. He doesn’t like that emotion, so he laughs till it changes to something else. Then it’s fight, because it’s always fight, even when there is nothing, or…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Lovely! It looks like a book my brother would pick up at Mardel.

@whalekeeper

*Nods in deep concentration*

A serious problem indeed.

I might have the Lady of Poetry Abigail Metzger’s personal writing email somewhere in my files. I at least have access to an old WIP doc of hers. Not sure how much good she can do us, but it’s another contact for hope.

@ellette-giselle

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

That is so exciting! I can’t wait to finish it.

*Dumps confetti on your head*

Work is letting up for a bit (as in, about to be over for the Summer) so I’ll actually have the time I want to read and comment.

@highscribeofaetherium

I just looked back at the chart thingy and realized/remembered I’m to give you feedback ect.  what types of feedback would you like? Do you need help becoming unstuck? I’m up for pretty much anything; story, brainstorm, writing, nagging–whatever you need and or want.

And ohhh. Yea, I’m behind too. Fell off the train…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

I think I got it from the call group…is it another way to say graceful queen?

@whalekeeper

So… Elishavet started an email thread thingy through which I will be sharing my stuff (I don’t mind posting some stuff on KP, but I’d be more comfortable sharing actual chapters in a closed space). Would you like to be added to the email list? GRCR is already in on it.

@jonas

Awesome! What do I do with my outline now that it’s written? Do you want it submitted somewhere?
