You are one incredible sidekick.

Did you find anything else interesting in the Kingdom’s vaults?

I’ve been dying to go there, but alas, magic tunnels only send me to abandon taco restaurants which are oddly littered with bottles of cherry soda. And don’t ask me why, I haven’t a clue.

No matter how many different tunnels I go…[Read more]

A very warm welcome back to the Kingdom!

We need more writers burning with passion to create awesome stories! I hope KP will be the kindling to your flame.

P.S. What’s your favorite book of the Hunger Games trilogy?

@lrc

Yes! I’d love to read some of your writing and give some of my thoughts!

Maybe sometime in the future you could read some of mine as well if you want to. The more critiques the better!

@overcomer

I know it’s so hard to choose!

I like your perspective of how Sauron, though he wasn’t physically present throughout the story, he was mentally present throughout the trilogy. By constantly tempting anyone near with The Ring. He may not have been charging at the front his army trying to stop Frodo from is mission, but he was in…[Read more]

Okay, that’s cool!

@devastate-lasting

Whoa, that is cool! If (okay, when) I write a WIP set in China, I’ll get you to beta read it. XD

@gh24682468999 That sounds cool. I play piano, but I’ve been finding it hard to squeeze out time for practicing.

@gh24682468999 Yeah, I definitely wouldn’t consider my setting to be like Tolkien’s or anything, as there are cell phones and computers.  Depends on the world, though. Some worlds are more advanced than others in technology.

I am completely fluent in Chinese, but not the most comfortable with it, so I would say second. Maybe if I lived in a…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting I played the violin for many years, but recently stopped playing/practicing. Now, I’m trying to teach myself the guitar. How about you?

@devastate-lasting *looks up genre of urban fantasy* That’s super cool! Would your entire Magic User World be classified as urban fantasy/contemporary fantasy then?

I think that writing in Chinese definitely would be fitting for a setting in Beijing. There’s a book called Want by Cindy Pon which is set in Taipei, and although she does a great j…[Read more]

@leon-fleming Wow. How are you planning on typing it out?

@gh24682468999 Do you play an instrument?

@lrc

Oh that’s awesome! And it seriously makes my job as a trainer so much easier (no joke, so many people underestimate the importance of things breeders do or don’t do). Are you looking at becoming a dog trainer for a career?

Well, for my job I mostly work with puppies 8-20ish weeks old. There’s a lot of diversity in the breeds I work with,…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting Hey there! That’s good to know. Hopefully I can stay on here for quite a while then 🙂

@leon-fleming That’s right! I remember you joining just as the guilds kind of… died. There’s a thread called “New Wessex Worldbuilding and History” in the Announcements part, though, which is pretty cool and you can write yourself into the…[Read more]

@leon-fleming I’m thinking about becoming a speech therapist so wow your post was informative 🙂 To digress a little bit, what drew you into learning linguistics, and what sources did you learn from?

I don’t know what sounds I would vote for, but maybe we could exclude Z (since you mentioned you don’t like it) and maybe X because they are s…[Read more]

Being able to freak out an entire world of characters without ever actually being in the room? Maybe Sauron is the greatest villain of all time.

Darth Vader. Why did I not think of him before? Most iconic, in my book. He is also a good candidate.

@leon-fleming mentioned Sauron. I would say that Sauron is a brilliant example of a villain who distances himself physically from the story but is still very active within it. I often find myself marveling at this.

He acts through his minions, somehow escaping a passive role in the story despite the lack of physical presence.

Although… I guess…[Read more]

My favorite villain is probably Sydney Carton, but I’m not sure if he counts exactly.

And the six-fingered man.

Hmm… honestly the first one I thought of was Loki, but again, he’s a wishy-washy sort of villain overall. He lacks conviction.

Moriarty! Smaug! I like them too.

Mother Gothel… she was really good, I thought.

Captain Hook! Now…[Read more]

@leon-fleming

All very respectable villains.

No questioning that all three will go down in history as the most iconic villains of all time!

But is it bad to say that the only movie I’ve watched with Joker is lego Batman? Makes me question me movie watching choices…

@lrc

When it comes to writing, reading bad books is a lot of the time more motivating than reading good ones!

It’s good to know that someone is doing that time period justice.

I would love to be a beta reader/writer pal if you ever need one!

Though I tend  have a lot of thoughts when it comes to books. I can read one page and write a whole…[Read more]
