The reply button had to go to bed apparently.
My doc is currently sitting at 97 pages. I do plan to go through and edit though, since I’ve found some week spots, and also need to clean things up, but it’d be around 100 pages.
I’m sorry if that’s too vague for you, that’s the best I can give until I go through again (I stepped back…[Read more] -

@ellette-giselle This is random, but I just had someone call Baron a babygirl.
Which apparently in this context “refers to a man who is both attractive and charmingly sensitive (or brooding/self-possessed/quirky) as opposed to stereotypically macho.” (Merriam Webster)
I just thought it was kinda funny, lol.-
Okay…… 🤣
That’s kind of funny, actually. Though I’d prob. not like it if my character was called that. Not very flattering name. 😂Btw, how is all that going? Did you find someone to publish it?
-
I was very confuzzled when they said that. I personally won’t be adding it to my vocabulary but I found it interesting.
I still plan to go with Wild Horse Publishing, if you’ll still have me, however the current thing holding me back is money. I do not have enough saved, and I don’t have a job yet due to health issues.
As soon as I get a job…[Read more]-
Oh yes of course we will! Okay yeah, did I give you a price quote yet? Take your time. However long you need is fine.
-
No, you haven’t given me a price quote, but from what I’ve seen online, it can take up to $2000 to $4000 to publish. I was planning on saving $2000 but I only have $700 right now. Maybe a little more after winter because I do get snow money and I have a few relatives who always send Christmas money because they live too far away to see us, but at…[Read more]

Well, I can tell you right off the bat that it will not be that much to work with us. If you give me a page number then I can give you an estimated quote on what you need to have in hand before we can start.

yeah no worries. I have to do something really fast, but I’ll get back to you on that in a minute. -
So, running that as a mockup, here are the estimated prices to print each book.
Paperback, black and white illustrations—

Woah, that was not the numbers I was expecting.
So, I have the money I guess (the sad thing is it looks like I’ve had enough for months and didn’t know it).
Thank you so much!
About illustrations, I’ll probably do those myself to save on money and capture my vision.
For an editor, I know that I need one of those lol so I’ll get into that.-
I would have been sad if you didn’t want to do the illustrations! It just wouldn’t have been the same! ☺️
well, i think the time of stepping back will actually help you refine it, so maybe it’s a good thing! We have a few editors working for us, or if you know of someone else, feel free to chose them as well. Here are our editors, but don’t feel…[Read more]

loll this is so funny to me, I’m active in a lot of online fandoms so I hear this term all the time 😂 it’s usually used for well loved characters or people so please consider it highest compliments
-
LOL.
-
-
Bro what—
Oh I would hate it if someone called my characters that lol(Given that most of my charries are from fanfics, there’s a very high chance someone already has.)
-
Lol. I don’t like the term itself, but I find it flattering that someone used a term that meant that about my character because it shows affection.
-
-
That seems like a pretty broad category to be fair, lol, unless the character has to be obviously sweet/sensitive/vulnerable in order to qualify. But that’s still funny.
-
Oh no…
I just realized Hugo is textbook “babygirl”
I am ruined-
Lol, he is totally.
-
If his girlfriend called him babygirl, he’d probably just shrug it off. That’s how textbook perfect he is for this term. I’m not sure whether to be fine or not fine with this.

Dante
“Ow. This is humiliating,” Dante grumbled. “Walk faster.”
A nurse rounded the corner behind them, then froze when he saw them. Dante waved nervously.
“Go fasterrr,” he whispered to Rory.
“Hey!” The nurse finally found his voice. “What are you doing?”
Rory sped up, and they turned a corner into a new hallway. There was…[Read more]

Dante
Dante stared at him. “…I would rather get stabbed again.”
Rory shrugged.
But the thought of just waiting there helplessly in the hospital bed started to bother Dante. Where was Ace now? Was he close? What if the hospital had notified the police and they were coming too? The sound of footsteps in the hallway sud…[Read more]

Dante
Rory was right, of course. Again. Dante huffed and settled back into the bed. He was feeling antsy, and was fighting the drowsiness that had been sneaking up on him all this time. He glared at the far wall.
“Maybe Alpha was right,” he muttered to himself.

I have to write an email and do math for taxes
I did neither of those things, but here I am again anyway. Procrastination at its finest.
Dante
“Yeah. We can just keep things professional.”
There was a silence, and Dante found his mind wandering somewhere he didn’t want it to go. He mentally yanked it back like an angry dog…[Read more]

Ah ok that’s cool! Yeah I used to post chapters and kinda made Tauren my whole personality back then lol.

Wait, this is actually crazy, did you join kp after I stopped posting my story?? Tauren was my main oc for like 2 years! His story is the one I was writing when I joined kp, and it’s unfortunately been neglected for a bit. Who’s your Tauren I don’t think I’ve met him?

NoOooo they’re making each other worse.

Dante
Dante’s stomach twisted, and he shifted uncomfortably.
“That was just a lie to get you in the door. You don’t want me as a brother, trust me.”
He saw the hurt look on Rory’s face, and his stomach twisted even further. He looked away.

This was the second time someone had claimed him with that familial title. He was beginning to like it.
Aww <3

They shook hands, finally formally introduced. Rory cocked his head to the side. “Brother…?”
Dante looked at him sharply, a bit confused. “Don’t call me that.”
The doctor came in, and treated his wounds. He…[Read more]

Dante
The hospital was close. Rory helped Dante walk to the bus stop, and then rode with him to the emergency room. Rory seemed tense and wary on the bus, but then, so was Dante. They picked a seat near the door, and kept an eye on the other passengers.
When they arrived, a nurse told them that a doctor was available to treat…[Read more]

Lol. Yeah, I can see that. Scratch PK and put in “military brat.” In the book cannon he’s a farm kid, but it’s an ancient world where everyone fights sometimes, and ballads are some of the only literature he has read. Reúven is even more military minded.
It would be funny to compare their different views of war, heroism, and military.

@ellette-giselle do you mind if I fast forward a bit with my next rp?

I don’t know. XD I’m not sure to be diverted or concerned by that comparison.
Viktor is an introvert that still loves being around people. He’s an anomaly. He wants to help everyone but has serious doubts about what he wants to be when he grows up. Doesn’t feel like he fits anywhere. Typical young teen/PK problems to be honest,…[Read more]

Dante
Rory’s tone made Dante feel like a kid again, being bossed by an older sibling. His posture slouched and he grumbled something indecipherable. Then he looked at Rory with a slight glare.
“I can’t… go by myself.”

I should not be laughing this much at Rory’s skewed view of the world, but this interaction is hilarious to me lol

Dante
Dante silently followed Rory’s instructions. He watched him work, but soon his mind began to drift. The excitement of the fight had worn off, and he was beginning to feel numb again. He was tired, and the only things keeping him awake were the presence of another person, and the sharp pain of the cuts.
Soon, Rory was…[Read more]
