NEXT SECTION!!!

Interesting POV switch. A new technique I tried out for telling long stories rather then having a ton of first-person dialogue. Let me know what y’all think.

The sixteenth year of Emperor Haidronias’s reign
September 9th

@theshadow

Oooo!! I like this!! This is getting good!

And, what if, what if we don’t make it?

This is a little cluncky because of the punctuation. If you did: “And what if–– what if we don’t make it?” or “And what if. . . what if we don’t make it?” either of those would work well. Use the dash if you want it to read as a sudden horrif…[Read more]

@hybridlore

Thanks you two.

As for online, I don’t trust it. I’ve heard and seen too many online things get hacked for my liking. 😅

Thanks for the suggestion though!

*Grins and steeples fingers together*

Ah, a KaPeefer finally asked this most interesting of questions…

XD

Short story: “Fork the Gork!” Is a rally cry from one of my sister’s books (her Beliriegn children’s story, if she ever talks about it on here). Certain characters tend to use it with conjunction with their own battle cry “Fork…[Read more]

Or if we can’t do Slack find another free platform where we can have separate channels/forums to keep everything organized

I’m half-tempted just to create our own Slack community at this point. Since (i think) we all trust each other. And then only people we know can get in (no more stalkers XP).

Because if KP was just abandoned, then we’ve got our own little writing community that will live on

Idk 🤷🏻‍♀️ Just an idea…

@keilah-h

Perhaps not, but it would be interesting to see what people noticed it.

@theducktator

Oh gracious. That’s quite a parody.

It is concerning though. I wonder if there’s any other way to contact her.

@freed_and_redeemed

Great job!!!! I really liked it! I sure was nervous for them!

Poor Riker. I am really excited to see Erich show up!! He was a character I really liked from the last book. I’m really happy to see him again. I hope he gets a lot of “screen time”. 😂

I am wondering why Leon and Riker seem to be struggling with the lessons we…[Read more]

So, in answer to all the questions:

the laptop did an un-authorized update. So while I hit save on all my documents, I still had them minimized instead of fully closed. Normally it tells me about the update and offers a time. I then shut everything fully down, make sure it’s…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

Umm… Perehapes he was a slave, or at least treated like one, earlier in his life, along with his brothers and cousins. They escaped, and tired to help other slaves.

🤨

I wrote like two paragraphs of his backstory.

This is Omar we’re talking about.

Have you read the section where he introduces himself to Leon??

Okay l…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed

Ouch. Leon, you’ve still got a pocket full of broken glass to work out.

Also…how did Erich end up in the US Army?!

(thank you for hitting Franz for me, Leon)

@ellette-giselle @hybridlore @elishavet-pidyon @koshka @esther-c @anyone-else

and Part 3 (and I might share more from what would be the next scene too, but this is the end of the exact scene I’ve been sharing)

A vaguely familiar masculine voice…not very familiar, but familiar regardless.

A blue-eyed, blonde-haired man in a US Army unifor…

Part 2 of the scene I shared🤭 (and this still isn’t all of it…still working on it atm)

Franz’s gaze didn’t stray from Riker’s. “I thought you were dead…we all did.”

Riker’s back pressed against the wall.

He should never have left the Altmann home in a rush.

E…

A lot of this is actually first draft material since I was adding in stuff, so bear with me 🫣 But I didn’t want to keep y’all waiting. 😉

But what if someone were to hide behind the corner with a spray bottle and keep the rock wet on a sunny day?

That’s what I think of every time I see that picture.

@theshadow

Ooh, okay that’s a good idea. I’ll try that, do you have any book suggestions?

Yes! Let’s see…

Pana cotta is really easy to make! It just takes a minor eternity for the gelatin to set up in the fridge. My cousin and I made a bunch in under 30 minutes. It then had to sit overnight in the fridge (although we ate some at dinner even though it was soft).

And I can’t seem to find the recipe book. =|

You can totally do that. Just…

Although I really want to find a creme brulee recipe that doesn’t take 8-12 hours.
