Oh goodness yes. XD

Leo

Soldier. Yes…and no. Another sigh caught in his throat.

“Yes, but no. I don’t really know what I’m doing here.” He leaned back against the couch. The floor felt cold through his work pants.

“I was apprenticed to Admiral S. Faltack at twelve years old as a novice engineer. Silvia’s always been smart,…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009 hehe I’m glad you’re excited🤭 @ellette-giselle @rae @keilah-h @theducktator @grcr @highscribeofaetherium @koshka @elishavet-pidyon @anyone-else-idk-lol-?

Soooo I just wanted to say that me having this fantasy idea doesn’t really change anything about the Broken and Redeemed Trilogy. Though I love this new idea, Leon/Riker…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle @ducktater

That’s true! Like in Mossflower, where the one mousethief just escapes. Hilarious yes, but dreadfully convenient. One can still save One’s character, but it needs to fit the rules.

Of course, to mix stuff up you can always make a master prison that has a weakness that both the good guys and the bad guys exploit. L…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

I am the person who is furious at the end of a book when my favorite character doesn’t die!! Why? Because the author cheated to save him! The mastermind villain makes a “mistake”. The unbreakable jail cell has a weakness no one who has been trying to break out for the last hundred years has discovered yet our hero just “stum…

Leo

“All sorts of things. Mostly worked on ships. Built one out of scrap material with Silvia. Took us three years. The other stuff.” He sighed. Looked over at the kid. Well, most people probably wouldn’t call him a kid. “I worked with energy deployment and shielding. I was one of the best.”

It wasn’t a boast, but it also…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Don’t worry, Rory is well loved.

That is precisely when worry is needed. The worst things happen to the best loved characters.

I can’t break the rules of the story just because I love a character. I hate it when authors do that.

Same. KotLC used to be one of my favorite series, but there have been 9 books, the stakes are sup…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Poor kid.

@ellette-giselle

I’m sorry, I finished drawing Rory a couple days ago but I realized I never took a photo and posted it!

Here he is (I think something’s off about his face 🤔 but I hope it looks like him)

@everybody I’m starting to be a little scared of retaliation… What have I done? XD

@ellette-giselle

Oh, good xD

@liberty

Yay!

@ellette-giselle @hybridlore @anyone

I don’t know if I’ll have anything going on that day (probably not, though) but if I’m free I’ll come!

Ellette, I think I gave you my email, right?

@ellette-giselle

You’re coming home? Yay! I’m so glad you all survived!

@ellette-giselle

ouch!! I’m not that mean to him.
🤣

…Isn’t he going to die though?

@ellette-giselle

I’ll probably start writing on a computer once I get my own, but I like paper because it’s so portable.

I just KNOW that when I get my license, I’m going to be the family errand girl, and I figure I should have a way to contact my parents from the store. Or call 911 if I get kidnapped. XD We have a house phone too, but my…[Read more]

@koshka @ellette-giselle I’m loving all the wholesome Leo and Rory moments 🩷

@ellette-giselle

Okay, phew. It’s hard to tell when people are actually mad or just teasing on here. 😜

@ellette-giselle

Leo

“Of course I have. I’m an engineer, top of my class. It was the most fun I’ve had in… Well, there’s not much like it. So much energy. Such precise, perfect lines.”

He grinned, picking up a bolt. It was a hex bolt, smooth and surprisingly new. Close to the size he used on the Mantis. He rolled it between his fingers.

“I…[Read more]

Leo

“Aye, you got it. Nearly everything built out of wood uses nails or screws. Metal stuff like big buildings use heaver screws, welding, bolts, all sorts of things.” He leaned back on his heels eyes going distant. He rolled a bolt on the palm of his hand. “Back home we used a lot more Laser welding, but screws and bolts are…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Or…Leo didn’t have emotional breakdowns as much as serious temper problems and protective issues. Silvia had a lot more breakdowns because she couldn’t understand what was going on (she’s about 5 years younger than Leo).

Leo

“Sure.” He dropped to one knee by the bucket. “This,” he picked up a screw “is a screw. A Philips head…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle
Yep! I was at the last call. Hybridlore has my email, so you can grab it from her if it is more convenient than trading on our profiles.

@ellette-giselle

I get it. XD

I wonder how Leo and Rory would have gotten along when Leo was a torn up 13 year old. Or even 16 year old at the beginning of his own book. It’s been great fun to write him as a fully developed character.
