Ooooooh okay, I gotcha. 👍 No familial ties, no relationships at all. That’s much more sterile and dystopian than I thought you were going tor. But this makes much more sense.

Do they have some way of suppressing hormones, like in The Giver?

@whalekeeper @ellette-giselle @rae

Hey y’all, finals are over, and I’m still alive somehow.  *Sheepish grin*

“Oh. Alright. I…” She tugged at her newly scarlet blouse with a grimace. A good hot shower would be great right about now. “I don’t know. Those creeps jacked our com unit. I can try using encryption, but-” her eyes widened. “Oh…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Okay, reproduction is allowed, but only through government selection.

Okay, check. Makes sense.

Yes, I do have that under control.

How does the government get rid of those desires?

Haha, this isn’t marriage at all. Marriage isn’t a promise to stay together, and it isn’t a government contract. Marriage is a holy and sacred coven…

@ellette-giselle

Okay, so you’re going for a more ambiguous setting with more brainwashing? I do love The Giver and Fahrenheit 451, I like the genre.

I feel like most of what you just said doesn’t really have much to do with the story………

…Well I said this:

 Because it doesn’t make much sense from the perspective of a government to deny heterosex…

@ellette-giselle

Okay great 😊 (If anyone is sensitive please skip reading.)

This is just a big brainstorm post, maybe it will be helpful.

Why would everyone give up as a group on heterosexuality? American culture overwhelmingly enjoys any depiction of male-female pleasure, it is an integral part of our culture. (It’s disgusting, but here we a…[Read more]

Yes, he is blind. Don’t worry, you didn’t miss any dramatic scenes. 😉 If you read back, you can see we insinuated his blindness earlier. For instance, the conversation between Onnendel and Dwogin about the sunset.

It’s part of his backstory. We’ll explain the it more in a couple chapters. (Hint: Shadow Dread is an illness…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle THANK YOU!!

I’m excited to write them more in later books, hehe

Violet Iris resistance group!!

(not all of the characters on this board are shown or even mentioned in Freedom’s Fire…shhh…that’s for later books🫢🤫🤭)

@ellette-giselle

So I like the idea of a marriage themed dystopia, but I do have some questions because some of this doesn’t make sense and could be cleared up. Can I ask a few things?

@ellette-giselle

Ohh *sneaks in* this is the marriage story right? If you post a section where the characters explain why marriage is banned versus discouraged, I’d like to read it. I liked the first scene you shared too.

Also I had to meme-ify this 😅

But no one’s perfect at the beginning of a book, it’s a good story idea to see someone grow…[Read more]

@grcr You’re welcome! 💜 The uniform looks really good!!

@ellette-giselle You’re welcome! 💜

Man, that drawing makes me tear up when I think about him.

i miss him so much😭😭

Congratulations on the win, Ellette!! Good job on yours! 😄

@grcr

I love his hair!! The shading and colors are really good and the uniform is so accurate!

@ellette-giselle

He looks so sweet and gentle. I love the coloring and the small details on his uniform! The expression is so fitting and he looks so good😭😭

@mineralizedwritings

That smile!! XD I love his hair and the side profile,…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

No, I didn’t do this one.

Y’all’s drawings look great, though.

@whalekeeper

I’m confused, are we still in the basement or is something happening?

I think the fight is mostly over, I don’t know about the agents (@ellette-giselle). But Rax has stopped harassing people and wants to find Marcel to say sorry and maybe heal him.

@koshka @ellette-giselle and maybe? @raxforge

I’m confused, are we still in the basement or is something happening?
