Hey guys! Time to talk about this writing zoom call idea. If anyone is interested, please let me know what your time zone is, and when you’re usually free. I’ll try to arrange a time when the most people can get together.

The idea for this call is to have a few writing…[Read more]

Wolfgang 

The swings of the bigger, heavier blade almost frightened him, but he was too excited to stop. Dodging left and right, shuffle forward shuffle back. Their swords had only touched once or twice and for that he was grateful. He blade was slender, but not so slender as the swords used by the Olympic fencers. This…[Read more]

Wolfgang 

He deposited the heavy weapon on the table with a clatter. “You’d win straight off if I tried with that–– Or I might actually knock your head off. I’m going to get my sword… just don’t hack at it if you please.”

He spead to the door and vanished. Racing down the corridor he leapt in the air with a whoop befo…[Read more]

Wolfgang 

He surveyed the shield before setting it on the table. “I don’t need one of those.” He lifted his left hand in the air and tried an experimental flick of his wrist and shuffle step. The sword point wobbled and struck the floor. Wolfgang frowned. “These are very heavy weapons you have. I don’t see the sense in them…[Read more]

No worries. I like the response.

who says he’s leading a rebellion…..

Wolfgang 

He nodded eagerly, then eyed the sword with a critical glance. “I like you’d snap my rapier in two with that thing. We don’t use swords like yours nowadays you know. I wish we did,” he added with a longing glance toward the sharp sword…[Read more]

Wolfgang is far too scatterbrained. If anything he thinks it’s a costume or interesting traditional clothing. That boy doesn’t stop to breathe, let alone think things out like this.

Wolfgang 

“Wining the Olympics is one of the highest honors! I would love to fence in them, but I’m not sure that I would be skilled…[Read more]

Wolfgang 

A bright ringing laugh burst from him. “Tournaments are for knights, like in King Arthur’s day! We don’t have knights anymore. Well, the Brits do. I always wanted to go to England. But no, the Olympics is a huge competition that the best champions from every country in the world come to compete in. There are all…[Read more]

ahh! Thank you!!! He looks great!!!

K! That would be fun. I’ll find a few dates and propose them on the topic where we normally talk about this.

Yeah it’s crazy. Luckily the AI can’t access everything, and what it can see is very jumbled up. I think it can only see our profile pages and some of the posts underneath. I tried asking it more detailed questions and it couldn’t answer them correctly.

@Ellette-giselle

What did y’all use? Ch…

[Read more]

It’s not super royal. Just a long cloak and a doublet. lol.

I’m so glad you like him though! And yay! I got the face shape!!!

Oh yes, let me see!!! (and you can still do more of him if you want… lolololol)

And I am dying at Wilhelm’s! These two are the most unlikely friends in the world, (which is what makes a good book I hear lol)

Wolfgang 

He obeyed the other boy’s instructions. “You can be sure he’s a great champion!” he exclaimed, swinging the sword in another arc, this one a little less painfully jerky than the first.…[Read more]

and yes, don’t look too hard at his eyes. I erased them so many times the paper started to rip and I just had to leave it.

Wolfgang 

He took the sword as Wilhelm showed him and the blade wavered, swooping toward the ground. He wrestled it upright with an effort, lips pressed tight together and brow furrowed. “It’s heavy! Not at all like the fencing sword I have, or even the one August Heim let me hold. Did you know he was an Olympic Champion?…[Read more]

Wolfgang 

The disturbed idea of killing people quickly melted in the sheen of the sword. Wolfgang drew nearer, and as Wilhelm put it down, he reached out a hand for it. “Can I hold it?”

🤦🏼‍♀️

Yes, you did. I miss-read it.

lololol

Wolfgang 

“No it wouldn’t,” he laughed, sitting up quite suddenly. “I hope I do find a Luger here. You would like it. But one moment… I mean, I are we actually going to kill people?”

Wilhelm is?! What about wolf? lololol

Wolfgang 

His eyes widened. “A Luger is THEE German gun! it’s a recoil-operated semi-automatic pistol. My Papa has one but I’ve never been able to get my hands on it. He’s going to give me one though. He said so.”

*nods*

Very dangerouse

We should do it. XD

@elishavet-pidyon

haha, I’m back!

Wolfgang 

The moment of soberness passed. “I can fight with more than the sword! Hand to hand combat, and guns! I can fight with guns! I could if I had one. I would use a Luger. I can shoot Lugers you know. I just need to…[Read more]

This sounds dangerous.

@elishavet-pidyon

Certainly a sweeter boy than his half-brothers.

Wolfgang 

“I can swim and row and climb. I fence and I brought my sword with me. I do some grappling as well, and other hand-to-hand fighting. And I could shoot a gun! If I had one. I want one, but Papa keeps forgetting. At least, that’s what he says. I play the piano, I’ve played for years. I’m working on my masterpiece.…[Read more]

that’s great!

sure you can share them if you like, either way. I may not get to this until next week as I am out of town over the weekend.

Thx! I cackled more than normal. This is why they say writers fall in love with their side characters more than their main characters. 🤣

He’s like a golden retriever trying to befriend a terrified opossum hehe

Funnily enough, if Remi was an animal, I picture something like an opossum. Just in appearances. P…[Read more]

Wolfgang 

“No, we shouldn’t tell them at all,” he agreed. “Not yet. I haven’t met anyone but you, but I’d like to meet some others. When shall we do it?”

Meeting Jasper on the sparring grounds had just become even more important.

Oh yes….. this’ll be good.

really whoever you want, but I may pick Wilhelm. I’ll have to look up his description in the RP unless you have it on hand.

Wolfgang 

He had only said it to get Wilhelm to come with him, but now the idea had taken hold of him too. It sent a thrill that was mostly excitement with a tinge of fear running down his spine. The fear quickly vanished. “I’ve never played this, but I play chess,” he announced, looking at one of the pieces. He sat it down…[Read more]

After much deliberation, for no serious reason, I feel it makes more sense for all of these characters to come from the same huge world. A world with a huge map, isolated countries, and separate magic systems/cultures. While portal fantasy is easier, I think this way gives us more…[Read more]

so which one shall I do? Viktor or Reúven? Or Wilhelm?

lolololol, Wolfgang, on the other hand, often looks for trouble, and it tends to jump out at him when he’s NOT looking. XD

Wolfgang 

“Oh, but maybe they are! Just think of it. This school has all the heirs and royal-what-evers of all sorts of kingdoms all locked up in one building. Then, the masters sneak in and shhhik! C…[Read more]

lol, love it!

and yes, for sure!

oh yes! I love those sketches. If you want active, do Cass. If not, I’d love to see one of my WWII boys.

Hmm, well, Reúven is the one I know the most! And Viktor (or is it Victor)

poor guy. He needs some more adventure in life.

And wolf needs some toning down.

Wolfgang 

“Oh every where! Especially places marked ‘no admittance’ and ‘official personnel only’ and ‘no entrance past this point’. Those are always the most interesting places. The only places more interesting are the ones marked ‘danger,…[Read more]

the WWII ones are my favorites right now because I am writing them, but Cass is of course an old fav. Do you want me to tell you what he looks like? (He’s also on the cover of the second book…) He always wears a white shirt, grey vest and slacks, and a grey trench coat. And he weilds two handguns! lololol.

I’ll write a Remington POV in a little bit. When he goes into his room, that’ll be your sign that it’s curfew.

@mineralizedwritings @loopylin

When that happens, we can just assume our group went to bed. Unless either of you want to state otherwise.

haha! Yes, it is. I totally wrote the other one blind. I’m surprised there weren’t more typos. XD

Wolfgang 

“Oh who wants to go to bed?” he complained. “Besides, you’re not actually going to stay shut up in your room all night just because there’s a curfew, are you? You’re really not going to sneak out after dark?”

No I’m not overloaded!

And I also always wanted a pic. of Cassion!! (if you don’t want to do the WWII ones)

Cass would be PERFECT for movement type drawings! He’s quite the athlete! I can give you more on him if you want…

I would want to marry him. 🤣

Ah yes, the future husband character projections. lolololol.

Not guilty at all.

Totally did not put a self-insert in a book just so she could marry him…..

lolololololol.

Ugh, I can’t see anything that I am writing, so let’s hope this goes well. KP is glitching again…..

Wolfgang

“I’m not going top kill myself,” he laughed. “You are a rather morbid fellow, aren’t you. Fine, we don’t have to go to the north… today. But I’m going there all the same. No one can tell me not to go somewhere.…[Read more]

as mentioned before, I saw this as a sort of wood-between-the-worlds place, because everyone is coming from government/nobility, we sort of all have to have our own realms.

Unless everyone is in the same gigantic world and this is some school in this one country where all the noblemen are sent be…[Read more]

AHH!! Oh my word! He’s just how I pictured him!! Why are you so good at drawing?!?! He’s perfect! Oh wow, such a cool picture! He so looks the soldier, yet thoughtful and obviously has a past. Possibly a streak of audacious adventurer in him too!

@whalekeeper

Deaths?!?!

Oh wait, wasn’t it some of my guys who died.

*guilty…

I am shivering in ridiculous amounts of delight. Why is it so exciting when someone accurately reads a character?

😂🤣 I get it. I feel the same way. The best way to make someone’s art feel seen and heard is to interpret it. Even if it’s not perfectly accurate, it means you’re actively thinking about it.

There he is! Quite thoughtful looking, indeed. Gentle. The dear fellow could be so much more brash if he wanted to, but he’s too good. That’s my impression of him.

Wolfgang 

“So you really think they might be real? Sometimes I’ve wanted them to be real. And they come from that place, the north? Oh let’s go!” he cried, jumping up. “I’ve always wanted to see one, and you think they’re real! What are we waiting for?”

There was a quiet respect in his voice that he didn’t try to hide. Marcel deserved it.

Aww. Reúven seems like such a thoughtful guy.
@loopylin
Marcel
Marcel had stopped playing to stand in the bleachers. His arm was scraped, and he was a little out of breath after playing for so long. No matter how good he felt after ex…[Read more]

these two are a PAIR! lolol0lolol

Wolfgang 

He laughed. “You aren’t serious! You don’t mean you would actually kill me.” He dropped down in front of the hearth and laughed again. “I’ve never killed anyone before. I doubt you would kill anyone. I bet you couldn’t kill. I don’t think I could.” He jumped to the next topic. “You really think you saw fairies or…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Wren 

Wren nodded and wandered over the boy who had been pointed out.

“Excuse me, would you-” She had to stop and start again louder to be heard over the shouting and squeaking rubber balls and tennis shoes. “Excuse me, would you be willing t…[Read more]

I know. The crazy kid.

Wolfgang 

He laughed. “That’s just stories they tell to scare us. There aren’t any spirits and gods. Those are just in mythology. That stuff isn’t real. I bet there’s something really good hidden there, like I cave of gold… or guns!” He turned back to Wilhelm. “Come on! Lets–– Oh! You’re not goin…[Read more]
