1) I think this is from the Bible? I’m guessing the book of Ezekiel. It sounds Minor Prophety.

2) I have no idea.

3) This could be several people. Augh. I know the Captain from Tin-Tin says it, but as for anything more specific, I’m at a loss. It could also be Padra from the Mistmantle Chronicles.

4) Les Miserables?

5) It’s from Henry…[Read more]

Portals: When My Story Ate Me. The serial story I’ve semi-periodically shared on here. I should work on HoA(Viktor’s story), but I have zero motivation for that one. They’re just sitting in a friend’s shop at the moment waiting for their parents to find them. Portals is a more manageable size, so little bites first.

@whalekeeper

I love collecting ideas from novels published between from the 1910s-50s. Mostly 40s and 50s. I keep notes from them in a notebook and I’ve done this for months; it’s a lot of fun. I often collect dialogue because there’s something very identifiable about fictional dialogue from that time.

Oh, I like this idea. That is epic. I’ve n…[Read more]

Stopping at :59. I got 442 words in an hour. Not wonderful, not terrible. I think I like where this section is going.

UFO (unfinished object) SPRINT

I’m working on Portals and/or contract stuff. It’s late here, so I won’t be on for long but thought I’d give myself some accountability.

*sigh*

I just opened a WIP doc, misread a name, and thought a sibling had written some sort of fabulous crossover fanfiction in my WIP doc. I was so happy.

This poor WIP. I preferred a non-existent orphaned fin-fic to it. What a terrible brain-parent.

On other news, Tolkien keeps stealing my character names.

@koshka

Unfortunately, I helped you pick these quotes so I can’t play this round. I will stalk this place until the next round. 😁

@godlyfantasy12

Heeyyyyyyy! So good to see you!

Congratulations on completing your draft! *Throws confetti* That is absolutely amazing! ✨🎉👏🏻 Have you celebrated ? Rewarded yourself?

Some questions… Is it the Destina project or a different one? I don’t want to asume lol. Also, second draft, is it an edited version or a second book? Just…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Lol. Latin is fascinating.

Collecting slang sounds brilliant and fun. *Takes recommendation* I’ve played with coloquialisms a little, but in a useful way. I shall have to try that.

What’s your favorite word biome so far?

@grcr

*peers through the glitter*

Wow. Grammar is interesting, but I haven’t done work in it. Your conlags…[Read more]

@loopylin

True enough.

Oh this is interesting.

Reúven

Now that was a harder question. He scrunched his eyebrows together as he worked it out.

“Yeah. Accidents happen. I guess any school is going to have those. It’s gotten much better, though, under the current administration. The bully gang was broken up, so most accidents are, well,…[Read more]

@loopylin

Sorry it’s so short.

Reúven

“Um…” He paused to calculate. “Three years.”

@loopylin

Yay!

Reúven

He had no idea who this lady was. She looked like a student, and near his class year at that. She had to be new.

But if she was new, how did she get on the school newspaper committee?

He looked back to the game as if he was distracted by something over there. Her face blurred in the corner of his vision. She…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Oh fun! Extinct languages in stories are some of my favorite. Is it commonly understood by the characters, or is it like Latin and has a niche group that uses it?

Question for other world building enthusiasts and /or other KeePers.

Anyone else make up languages? If so, what methods do you use? If not, is there any language you just like the sound of? Do y’all prefer logical languages or something closer to linguistic chaos?

I’ve been working on one off and on the last few years. It’s nothing serious,…[Read more]

In continuation because this is fun for me at least. XD

Reúven

Yes, this game was fun.

For some reason, that phrase echoed through his head as he lay on his back, staring at the tangle of arms and legs that had plowed into him. Two younger kids had tried to dodge into the same space. Unfortunately, it had been Reúven’s space. He was going to b…[Read more]

I guess Reúven is in the Dodgeball game… Hmm.

Reúven

Eibuavkin! His ball smacked soundly into an opposite teammate. Reúven ducked back from the line before someone could fire back. One of his own teammates passed him another ball. Reúven turned the thing in his hands, testing the give of the rubber while he picked out a target. This ball had…[Read more]

@loopylin

Lol ok.

Sounds good! I can understand that and sympathize. XD I’ll try to get in some POVs from Reúven so it’ll be ready when you are able. It’ll be fun.

I actually forgot about the dance. Lol.

@theducktator

Like Loopy said, not much has changed.

@loopylin

I’m looking forward to meeting her!

Reúven is not wanting any attention, so that could be suspicious to her. He also usually carries a “pocket knife” that’s beyond the allowed length. She could also see him in uniform and think he’s some hired guard, or otherwise think he’d be great to interview. Then when he refuses an interview,…[Read more]

@loopylin

That would work splendidly. XD *paused to decide if I’ll info dump on the RP-AU or how he is in canon…*

CANON In his story, his father Micha is the younger brother of one of the heads of the Eirtanian houses (Viktor’s dad). Micha married the daughter and heir of a different house, so Reúven is actually the intended Ra’ehan of the…[Read more]
