Tolkien’s world building is amazing, and most of the reason I like his books so much, and then Sam is just so endearing. (I do enjoy making people laugh. 😉)

Well, I may rant at some point, and it is nice to know that I will have a welcome ear, when I do. 🙂

I don’t know either, so I’m going to wait a little bit to see if anyone else knows the…[Read more]

Where would I put a topic about my WIPs, should I put them all in one, or make one for each?

Thank you, @unsung. We can be new members together, then! 🙂

It is. Thank you.

I’d say I go 95% into being totally engrossed and learned and addicted. It is very very close to obsession, heh. I probably am not an all out Tolkien fan, like buying Tolkien stuff all the time, but I do love love love to read the books, and even dare to really like…[Read more]

My favorite books include: The Lord of the Rings, Keeper of the Lost Cities, the Sackett series by Louis L’Amour, Pride and Prejudice, various Shakespeare plays, Rantisia: Search for the Ranta (formatting mistakes, but still enjoyable), The Rise of…[Read more]

I think it’s by the Rick Riordan presents or whatever it’s called XD It’s a take on Mayan mythology, which I thought was pretty cool!!!

Chinese mythology would be awesome! I don’t know much about it, but I’d like to read a fantasy spin about it sometime!

@keilah-h

PUFFINS!!!!! Yes!!!!

@power

Haven’t read the Green Ember series, but now I definitely want to!!! Those poems were pretty great!

The one about the ferret though XD I’d like to read more of them! Especially humorous ones!

@power

Aye!!! Another homeschooler! I’ve been homeschooling my whole life as well!

Hmm, you seem to have my problem! Planning out your entire series, family trees, every single quirk about your characters (even the background ones), and yet you stare at a page with a few sentences… Yeah, sorry. When you figure out the solution, you tell me…[Read more]

@elfwing

XD This was a great topic!!!

@devastate-lasting

If you like Percy Jackson and the Olympians or similar books, you may find it quite interesting! <3

@elfwing

Hahaha!!!!! I think it’s brilliant!

Awww, your poor characters!!!! I want to read this story so much!

@elfwing

Hahaha!!!!!! Yes! My favorite romance trope is opposites attract!!!

I’ve been trying to write more morally gray characters and secret identities bc I love mystery too!!! Also love anti-villain and anti-hero tropes!!!!!

@elfwing

Oh!!! Peacocks!!!!!!!

@elfwing

LOLLLL glad I could help!!!

The grasshoppers in your story sound awesome! I think that’s such a cool way to incorporate such an underrated creature!!!!!

And the garden scene would be hilarious!!!!! XD

I LOVE turtles!!!!! A turtle that keeps secrets…why have I never thought of that!? I may have to use that!

I probably use too many tbh, and I haven’t really thought about it until rn… Anyhow!!!! I actually agree with what @joy-caroline said about the “found family” trope! I was thinking about it the onther day and realized that I think every story I’ve every written may have that trope XD And I totally…[Read more]

@power

…Woah, I don’t even know what to say.

These are amazing (HUGE understatement)!!!!! I’m no poet, but I like to dabble in poetry every once in a while! And when I do, I definitely enjoy it! It sounds like you really do! Is it bad to say I relate to the words you wrote a lot??? XD

Are you a poet?? Have you written anything else? If so,…[Read more]

@elfwing

Does anyone ever see many insects in books??

Like butterflies, ants, beetles, millipedes, caterpillars (I know they’re butterflies, but I never hear about them in this form either), grasshoppers, ladybugs, bees, etc…

I’ve heard dragonflies, spiders (technically not an insect), and lightning bugs getting tons of attention. Especially…[Read more]
