but have you all actually been trained to fight with them? 😂

Depends on exactly what you mean by training, but how is this at all writing/ kp related?

@whalekeeper

I just don’t like how they’re treated as more important/impactful than other stories.

Exactly

@loopylin

I’m honestly a bit tired of dark stuff and stories that “deal with hard themes”.

I’m always a little annoyed when people say we need more writers dealing with darkness in their stories. Literally 90% of the WIPs I’ve heard about have dark themes like PTSD and abuse, and a lot of published books are the same.

I write dark themes so I don…[Read more]

@koshka

It does feel kinda like it at times…I’m actually working this whimsy story of fairies, libraries, and evil people eating woods right now that I haven’t introduced here because…*shrugs*

Ma’am. Please introduce your story in more detail. I am currently working on a whimsy story of fairies, cozy homes, and evil people-eating rabbits. We have…[Read more]

@loopylin @koshka

Yessss, I want silliness and whimsy! Do you have book recommendations???

@elishavet-pidyon

AWWWWW!!!!

okay who’s turn is it?

@koshka

@loopylin

I said “likely” (except auto correct said “Lily” Likely IS a word.)

anyways.

but have you all actually been trained to fight with them? 😂

Just tried to sort out a title for myself and lapsed into a poetic paragraph reflecting on my self-perceptions. What utter rot. XD I’m not so nice as I think myself. What an uncomfortable, shivery feeling that is.

I am chaos. I am quiet. An echo of sorts. I am that feeling you get when you sneak gummy worms into your dormmate’s sleeping bag. I am…

@koshka

That would be awesome! Idk when I’ll have time to read it exactly, but I will

I’m honestly a bit tired of dark stuff and stories that “deal with hard themes”. We need more silliness and whimsy. The real world is full of it. Maybe we should reflect it more in our writing.

@koshka

That sounds absolutely wonderful. I love whimsy. And fairies. Loving fairies was like my whole personality the first two thirds of my life. Please do share if you feel up to it.

The Local Amnesiac

Relatable

@koshka

I feel like “Rhymer” sounds like someone who does a lot of poetry?

Also I have no idea what age group my stories are for when I’m writing them, but I definitely have a few that feel like children’s books.

@whalekeeper

Yeah the plot was very lacking. It would be cool to see the characters developed more.

@loopylin

Yeah! I remember watching it when I was younger and being creeped out. It’s such a fun film. I kind of wish it got a show instead of a movie because it felt like it didn’t cover all the plot it wanted to.

@whalekeeper Oh I love that it’s perfect 🤍 I have 9 on dvd. I love the animation and general vibes.

@elishavet-pidyon

Ooo, those are a lot of nice synonyms

@loopylin

Okay thanks :] Have you ever watched 9? It’s an animated movie with puppet dolls living on post-apocalyptic Earth. A couple of them are twins and they’re basically archivists. That’s what I’m suddenly picturing.

@whalekeeper

I am absolutely willing to share my title with you

@ellette-giselle

seeing as I am Lilly one of the few on here who actually owns swords and daggers…

bold assumption

@whalekeeper

Secondary Archivist? Other options could be: annalist (chronicler), scribe, registrar, recorder, chronologer, and custodian of records, according to google.
