Gotcha @Jess.

I’m thinking that instead of the typical overthrow, they reconcile in some exciting, entertaining way.

That is an extremely creative idea! That could be so good; I can’t recall having seen it in a story before.

And I 200% agree with your philosophy for dealing with your ideas already being taken—‘Well, I’ll just have to make min…[Read more]

@Jess, that sounds like a terribly wonderful idea about the inventor. I love it!!

And being a “let’s see how this goes” type of writer is great sometimes, because sometimes neater ideas come as you go, rather than all planned out. 🙂

And if I know what, tell you? Where the inventor is?
Haha, well that’s for you to find out, I guess. 😀

So how l…[Read more]

This sounds really neat, @Jess.

Question: do all five of the kids each have all five abilities? I didn’t think so, but the way you said it in this post made it sound that way.

If there are only five, why would…[Read more]

Oh nuts. That’s too bad.
There are only so many names in the world, though; sometimes you can’t help using the same ones (if it just fits too perfectly, of course)! :

That can be really…[Read more]

Oooh, I really like Dalton!! Do that.
If you want to. 😛

Hazel’s not too bad; I like it a lot better than Rylee (or Ryder—whichever is the girl).

@Jess

@Jess, I don’t really HATE the names, though I don’t really like any of them. You asked. 😉

My favorite of the names is Jax, though; his name sounds like he’d be a nice character.

Also it’s kinda hard to tell which are male and which are female, if you don’t know.

Maybe the parents got taken by the government because they went outside the city boundaries for some (important to them, but illegal nonetheless) reason?

And then perhaps the kids want to change the government because if it’s oppressive enough to imprison people simply for leaving a city (though the fact that those people are…[Read more]

You tagged me, @Overcomer, but I think others will be better qualified to help you. Your assurance that I will not be sought vengeance on is greatly appreciated. 😀

That’s a neat poem, though. 🙂 I especially love the first three lines.

Ah!! I understand now. I didn’t know in your first post that you meant click the link BUTTON—I thought you meant the actual link.
Thanks—I’ve got it now!
