Snapper

@scripter-of-kingdoms Hi! Welcome to KP! ^-^ I’m a fantasy author, and definitely my favorite part is worldbuilding. In particular, building worlds that explore differing worldviews and that use these different angles to bring the truth into focus. Sort of like one of those places where there are rocks that look like they’re just random shapes,…[Read more]

@katthewriter I totally relate about genres. Usually mine is like fantasy but also realistic but also crime.

1. Ooh, nice! I’ve heard of The Witch of Blackbird Pond and we used to own a copy though I am unsure whether or not I ever read it. I like a lot of books, including The Little Prince, East of Eden, My Sweet Orange Tree…

For movies my f…[Read more]

@mkfairygirl That sounds so cool! I’d love to hear more about it later! You can post about it in our WIP chat!

Whoa, Ella Enchanted was so good! I really liked it.

Ooh, I love lemon bars! And peppermint is really good!

Ah my WIP is about a detective trying to find a criminal who his dad put behind bars years ago, and a mob boss who’s trying to…[Read more]

@mkfairygirl Yo, welcome to the Kingdom! Excited to meet you!

Fantasy is great! Could I hear a little more about your WIP?

What are some of your favorite books? Any favorite desserts?

@scripter-of-kingdoms Ooh, nice! I’ve heard good things about ATLA.

I write fantasy a lot too! I’m also going into realistic, and I used to do poetry as well!

Apple pie and chocolate cake are some of the best things!

@scripter-of-kingdoms Hey, welcome to the Kingdom! Nice to meet you!

@libby Interesting. I may need to expand my list of titles. XD How do family-related titles work? Are they stand-alone like “Mom” or “Dad”? I’m mostly trying to figure out how best to handle this culture’s words for “grandmother,” since they have one that refers to a literal grandmother (“lonpaia”) and one that refers to more of a village…[Read more]

@issawriter7 @e-k-seaver @abigail-m @gracie-j @joy-caroline Yo everyone’s looks great so far! I really love all your descriptions!

The Last Arch of Haran

Haran was long regarded as one of history’s most famous war heroes. This arch still stands at the tp of the mountain where he was last seen. Legend says that Haran disappeared after walking…[Read more]

@e-k-seaver If you do not write then the world will cease to exist. Save us from extinction.

( 😉 )

@devastate-lasting Awesome! Thank you! 🙂

@r-m-archer It ought to be attached to the surname. @libby knows a lot more about Japanese culture than I do, so you can always check with her as well!

@when-i-see-the-kingdom

Hello there! I’m Chelsea, the resident weirdo Aussie girl. How are you going? It’s lovely to see you here! What are some of your favourite hobbies beside writing/reading?

@devastate-lasting Thanks! I think the hyphenated suffix would work well with the rest of the language I’ve got. Is the Japanese suffix attached to the surname or first name?

Yeah, I think America is probably weird in that it’s not a purely expected thing. XD It’s common, but I think not as consistent as in other places? (I generally take my…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Hello! I’m the resident weird aussie (I bite and am poisonous, like most creatures in Australia, but I promise not to bite new people 😀 )

What are some of your hobbies, besides reading/writing? I enjoy dog training, drinking tea (that’s a hobby right?), drawing (not good at it, but whatever), knitting and sewing.

@r-m-archer @gracie-j

I have a very academic friend who got into a “debate” (I think it was friendly?? but definitely heated) with his bible study on the topic of predestination (they were mostly for, he was against) and ever since then it’s been a banned topic amongst my fellow youth leaders, because he’s so passionate about it. My church does…[Read more]

@r-m-archer In Japanese there are honorifics, most commonly “-san” to denote Mr./Mrs./Ms., so for example, I would be called “Zhang-san”, I think. In Chinese we use “xian sheng” for “Mr.”, and it’s usually formatted as “surname” + “honorific”.

Shoes are pretty much removed almost everywhere in the world. My family does it as well. Typically we…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting I started with Vietnamese and then pulled in some Japanese and Chinese. I did adjust the names in a recent draft so that they reflected that pattern. Are there titles of respect (e.g. “Mrs.,” “Mr.”) in those cultures, and if so would they go before a surname like in English? Or would there be a different configuration?

I also…[Read more]

@r-m-archer Not sure why my post didn’t go through ahh… Well, which cultures are you looking to combine? Japanese and Korean cultures stem from Chinese culture…so combining/not combining shouldn’t be that much of an issue…one thing that I think would give authenticity is that in most Asian cultures, (at least these three) the family name…[Read more]

@keilah-h Hi there! Welcome to the Kingdom!
