Marcel — Elderstrand (w/Group 1)

Without waiting for the group to disappear over the rooftops, Marcel ran at the ironwalker he had previously maimed.

His opponent horizontally sliced its broadsword. Marcel leapt onto the hilt and quickly stuck his hand into the elbow joint. As…[Read more]

In defense of the Irish, they were running toward a better armed enemy. They weren’t cowards. 😉

@ellette-giselle

The same wildness that would cause the Irish to break rank and then get ridden down by the patiently waiting English cavalry?

@power Thank you but ew I’m not that cruel

@rae

As Bob the Tomato famously said in a GIF, “It’s funny because it’s true”

I am glad I have raised questions, questions which I hope to answer in my coming decades of authorship, and to a small degree here. We’ll see where I can fit my wide variety of story characters in the coming…[Read more]

@power @ellette-giselle lollll this conversation has me just sitting here on the sidelines watching, I would be eating popcorn but I’m not a huge fan of popcorn, unless it’s popcorn chicken so maybe that’s what I’m eating.

@rae thank you!!

• glad I wasn’t disqualified lol
• confusion in writing is what I’m good at for some reason XD XD
• honestly though, I can see why you think this reads like a chunk of a larger story rather than a short story, cause it kinda is. I wrote it for practice and to maybe one day turn it into a larger storyline, cause that’s how I craft…

@ellette-giselle

Ah, poor lass. . . So horribly neglected. Thy brothers need some roguery injected into there spines. 😢

@ellette-giselle

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.

@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!)

@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?

@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!

@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.

@rae

Yay! Congratulations, @ellette-giselle !

This has been so much fun. If we do it again, count me in!

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

The results are in!

Note: I’m listing these in no specific order to give you all my thoughts

Liberty: First of all, I love your style. I think I’ve read one other thing of yours before, but I don’t remember being blown away by the word choice like I was with the first…[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]

@ellette-giselle

THAT IS INCREDIBLE!!!!!! 🤩 I want one of those in my future house!!!
