@Daeus — Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, lines things are something I like playing around with, but don’t always get it “right.” xD

@Shaina — Awesome! Thanks for sharing. I really like this poem! I would almost play around with capitalization with the “ands” to provide almost a false sense of a broken continuation of the sentence before like an…[Read more]

99% of men don’t want to cry in front of other people. I don’t think he would be upset at not being able to mourn either.

Is it a good idea to take our world (planet earth, our solar system, our universe, etc.) and fantasize it? Even add other planets inhabited by extraterrestrial life? Is it a good idea to take something we know is fantastical and does not exist and place it in our world for a story?

Are you asking if it is morally okay to add fantasy elements to a story that takes place in our world? If you are concerned about this morally, may I ask why? What are your concerns?

Thanks for the tips, Daeus. I have an… ahem… hypothetical case to present. Just a question, actually. Say a young man (sixteen, almost seventeen) was thrown into command of a tired, demoralized, losing army, while his father (who had been the commander) and his uncle (with whom he is very close) and his sweetheart (enough said) are captives of the…

Welcome! I hope you enjoy it here!

And I fail to see how having lived in both China and Colorado is boring. 😛

Welcome! And if you’ve been to the last three Oyan workshops, does that mean we were at the same one? Ordinary Heroes?

Peasants rule!!!

Welcome Joy! And hurrah to the oldie Oyaners! Glad to have on the KP forum! 😀

Hi Hope!

There is no way to private message currently. We have debated enabling this feature though.

Wow! I just saw this, and it made my day! You guys are the best, and like Sarah said, you guys are why we do it. Without your support and enthusiasm, KP wouldn’t be here.

Here is to the many awesome years to come (Lord willing)! *Raises non-alcoholic beverage*

Cheers!

I know. I really need to learn music theory one of these days! Glad I could help!
