A “forum regular”? me? When did I becomes a regular? *grins*

Kate! You’re gonna be awesome. I’ll help you in any way I can, love, rest assured. @kate-flournoy

I’m glad you approve @ethryndal

@mariposa Right you are!

Miss Polly Harrington entered her kitchen a little hurriedly this June morning. Miss Polly did not usually make hurried movements; she specially prided herself on her repose of manner. But to-day she was hurrying–actually hurrying.

@that_writer_girl_99 That. Is. Beautiful. <3

@Jess-Penrose this is the story I was telling you about. *fingerguns*

A soft shhhh-ing noise whispers through the air, and suddenly in his hand Matthias holds an icicle aloft. The shard of ice is razor sharp but perfectly translucent; any other time, it would be beautiful, but it’s not now, not when the tip of the icicle is aimed high in the air, tilted downwards at Blake’s throat.

Yeah. @winter-rose

Honestly, I think it shows how much I’ve learned about character arcs so far. Originally, I had no backstory for Blake, and he was just sort of this flat character that made everything in Kara’s world perfect again. Now that I’ve built his backstory, he’s so much more.

Yeah.

Well, Matthias is mad at the whole world right now, and Blake is strangely insensitive, which is a quality I didn’t foresee him having… @winter-rose
