I agree with Kate! 🙂 Sometimes fewer topics is better; you can make more as you get more participation, but since you’re going for bolstering numbers, the broader the topic the more likely someone will have something to say relating to it. 🙂

If there’s anything else I can do to help, just let me know!

@sarah-h, Probably the best way to do that without paying for Google promoting and whatnot is to fill up the art forum. 🙂 We can also share the word on social media. Currently, we don’t have any cool graphics, but since you brought it up, if you want to try your hand at one, I can at least publish it on Facebook. ;D No pressure–just an idea!

I think I can put all of this debate to rest and say yes, you are allowed to post your writings here before submitting them for publication on the main site. In fact, this is encouraged! Write your story or poem or what have you, get some feedback, fix it up, and then email it to us!

Posting your works-in-progress on the forum is not considered…[Read more]

I second Daeus. Or make the illustration of the murder more like the one from Disney Robin Hood with Clucky and the rabbits and Maid Marian. 🙂 An “Ohhhhh, ya got meh” kinda thing.

Love this! I feel like it could be used in Vacation Bible School or something of the like 🙂 it has a really unique tone and simplicity to it that I really liked! Great job ;D

Totally got the typewriter feels the first time I read the poem! It’s a really interesting poem, and it almost has a haunting kind of rhythm to it. Good job!

Excellent! I shall go and scope it out. I’m always on board with poetry!

@bluejay— DARN! MY COVER’S BEEN BLOWN!

@overcomer— So, basically, when you post this thing, tag the three of us in your post and we’ll get you started on the critiques. 🙂

Two thumbs up for this idea!

@kate-flournoy Much sneaky. Very devious. Don’t tell Reagan. 😛 😀

Definitely a little envious! My spring break is in the past now. Just gotta make it to summer. *fails at self motivation* xD

Here’s a sneaky-ish way around that: post it, get the critiques, and then edit your post to remove the story once you’re done getting critiques. 🙂

You should definitely post it here! I for one would love to read it and…[Read more]

Tis true! Thanks for your help Kate. 🙂 @overcomer, As far as I know, that is perfectly fine! And if it isn’t officially fine then we can just be rule breakers together 😉

Hmm, that stinks. Let me know if it works now.

DUDE! DAEUS! This sounds fantastic. Basically a KP book club. I am a fan of this idea. *much nodding* Lemme talk to the other staffers about it and I’ll get back to you, but I don’t think this would be really difficult to do. It might be harder to do a book a month (that’s a ton of reading). What about more like just reading a chapter a week? We…[Read more]

I’m originally from Ohio (yes the Wright Brothers were from Ohio therefore Ohio gets the title), but for the last 16 months I’ve been living in Florida.

Wow, guys. I think I can taste… like… bald eagle feathers. Also, freedom.

Really bad knock-knock joke:

Knock, knock!

Who’s there?

Not freedom.

Freedom rings.

*drops mic*

Anywayz, I’m from Georgia. If any others of you happy rebellious hooligans also reside in the state that is also known as awesome, we should meet up sometime. ‘cuz…[Read more]

No problem! 🙂

And I used PicMonkey for my profile pic. It’s really handy.

Hey! I just moved this to Novel Ideas because “Start Here” is for new members to introduce themselves. 🙂

I don’t think it’s unrealistic to write a story in which there is little diversity. In fact, including diversity can make a story unrealistic. It all depends on what kind of culture your story takes place in. The story should drive the elements, not a political agenda.

For example, if you were to write a story that took place in say, India, it…[Read more]
