Yeah, I seriously thought you’d get 1st place. And you did!

Wow. I’m super honored you thought I might potentially win. I guess it’s that self-comparing thing, perhaps not a quality character trait to have. It’s something to work on internally.

@liberty

Really!? You thought i was going to win?! I thought you or elshavit would!

Okay, I’ll give a longer deadline.

I’m currently pushing to finish a chapter in a book I’m writing, but I’ll think of one after that.

@rae

Thank you!!! I love all of your feedback to us writers!

@ellette-giselle

Congratulations!!! *confetti spraying everywhere* I was thinking you might win after I read your story! Perhaps you can give the prompt now, but give it a longer deadline since some people couldn’t finish their story on time (like me!)

@power

Actually, they have never put me in a headlock or threatened to put something nasty on me. (though they have done such things to one another.) They have poked me or kicked me under the table, but nothing horrid like you were suggesting. They are gentlemen in the highest regard. Mom and Dad taught them that. They said they are not allowed…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Oh hogwash. So you’re trying to telling me that your oh so knightly bros have never poked you, put you in a headlock, or jokingly threaten to plop something slimy, crawly, or moist upon thy personage?

@koshka

Well of course I’m reading it. XD

I wasn’t sure. I’m so happy though! I’ll tag you from now on.

You know if it is a threat that’s practically a dare for me to do bad things to him. lol.

(Good thing for you this is the 3rd draft and I’m not changing major plot points.)

@power

Yes! and I feel really bad for them!!!!

My brothers are never so mean. At least, not to us girls. They do terrible things to each other though, but around us they are true protective knights.

@calyhuge

THAT WAS SO GOOD!!!

@ellette-giselle

Well of course I’m reading it. XD

Ooooffffff I knowwwww. Hurting the poor babies hurts us too…

A threat?

…

Hmmm…

@ellette-giselle

I’M A GUY WITH SISTERS!!!!

@calyhuge

She would have turned inside out, hit the roof, and had a hysterical conniption fit all at once!

@elishavet-pidyon

Thanks! I’ll count you in!

@power

You are so depraved!!!

@ellette-giselle

I think you can go ahead and give the prompt whenever you want.

And I vote for one word. It makes things so much more interesting in my opinion.

@koshka

oh my goodness! Thank you! I had no idea you were reading this! It makes me so happy!!!

Okay, I will keep those things in mind. Thank you!

I know, poor Joseph. I had no problem doing things to Aaron and even killing him before he could marry Sabina, but doing this to a little ten-year-old is kinda tough. lol.

@calyhuge

BWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHA!!!!!

95%

(It would have been 100% if Electro Duder had at the end had stuck something green and slimy on the girl neck!!!!)

@liberty

Wow! That’s really cool about y’all’s family!!!

@rae

Wait! Really!!!!!?? Oh how cool! Thank you so much! WOW!!! Yippy!

@raxforge @elishavet-pidyon @calyhuge @liberty @keilah-h

The rest of y’all did an amazing job, and I LOVED reading your stories! Glad I don’t have to be the judge.

Oh wait.

I do.

LOLOLOLOL.

I can’t wait, but it’s gonna be hard!!!

Okay. How long of a brake…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Okay! I finally got to read through this so far. Here’s my thoughts:

1) Joseph is a dear little boy who might need to be protected from his author.

2) You tend to rely a little heavily on Telling over Showing. For instance, you saying he is struggling with nightmares is unnecessary, since I can see that well enough from his POV…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle @calyhuge

So, there’s a story behind why there’s a bobcat on the crest. There’s a legend about the Sutherland clan that way back in the day, they didn’t have their own land.

They went to some other lord in that area because they saw a beautiful, bountiful piece of land which they wanted for their clan. To their surprise, the…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

That was amazing!!!! Hm…I actually know of another Dunn person. Didn’t know it was Irish.

Oh, no. Thank you for writing such a long post about your ancestors. The info about Glendenning clan was so cool! Their motto is AMAZING!

So, the Irish is pretty far back there, but we’re closest related to Parkers and Crumlins. I don’t…[Read more]
