Flipping through the pages of this RP feeling rather like a spy as I try to hunt down my errant water sprite.

Not sure where he is rn.

Flipping through the pages of this RP feeling rather like a spy as I try to hunt down my errant water sprite. As if I don’t have an essay to write, ect.

Not sure where he is rn. Not sure where I left him.

Leo

Hmm. True freedom.

Leo waited for Rory to catch up, mind whirring. He took a breath to answer, then paused, looking for the right words. Slowly, carefully, he tried to explain.

“There are different kinds of Freedom. The political kind usually means liberty to pursue your own dreams and live your life, even make your own…[Read more]

@koshka

Yes, he would.

Rory

Rory stared at Leo for a long moment, letting the older boy’s words play over in his mind. Leo turned to start down the hall, and Rory forced himself to keep up. “Leo…” he hesitated. “Leo, what is free? I know what my government says free is, but I think free means something different to everyone. At least, that’s…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Poor kid. He’d probably think sidewalk chalk was a crime

Leo

“Agents?” Leo looked up from the tile. Rory was watching him with large, confused eyes.

“Eh, no. Not what you call Agents. There were–are–plenty of special ops soldiers in the army, but they weren’t murderers and kidnappers like your Agents. They were just…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

okay, that sounds good.

@koshka

Rory

Rory didn’t say anything. It was too confusing. It didn’t make sense to him… but perhaps Leo’s world was different? If that was possible.

Rory let out a slow breath. “Leo, do you have Agents where you’re from?”

@ellette-giselle

*Leo nods in concern*

*Silvia appears and gives you a hug* “Welcome to the team! You’re… Salamander.”

*Leo rolls his eyes*

Leo

“Desecrated government property? My neighborhood wasn’t a… high class place. I don’t even know how we got sidewalks. Probably one of those ‘city improvement’ plans where they make nonsense jobs…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

that’s disturbing.
do you think you’ll find out what happened?

The first story I remember writing…

Well, a long time ago… I mostly just started a bunch of random stories with phrases like “There once was a little girl who was very, very, ugly” or “Charlotte was a cat who didn’t like mice” (I liked the name Charlotte for no explainable reason) and then left them at a few sentences long and forgot about…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

WHAT HAPPENED?

You can’t say that and just leave!!!

@whalekeeper

Apparently. Maybe I should find one and try it. XD

@rae

Glad that’s an “almost choked”. Lol

@loopylin

Hmmm, enough fruit for a Ridgerunner if ever there was enough. XD

@linus-smallprint

Hey, here’s an idea. I have come across some lessons to help improve characters. There are five of them. What if we went through them together, both taking one or two characters that readers felt were flat (that would be Charles and Thom for me) and see what comes out of it? We could invite others to join as well. If we don’t lik…

@theshadow

I’m glad I could help!!

Yes! Lmk when you flesh out the ideas more, I’d love to hear what you come up with!

@trailblazer

Pretty much all the public schoolers have phones and are preoccupied with boys and drama at school

😣 I wish schools didn’t have to be that way. It’s crazy that when I hear of a 12 or 13 year old dating or whatever, I’m not surprised. I don’t agree with it! but it doesn’t shock me. 🙁 I mean, y’all should be enjoying your childhood a…[Read more]

Y’all are so so so helpful!!! I wish I could reply to each individual response, but that would take a while. 🤪

The theme I’m getting from most of the responses though is that MG needs more wholesomeness, or at least that was what you enjoyed the mos…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon

thanks!!!!

@whalekeeper

Me too!
