As one of the few active KPers who is not a teenager, I have thought about the age requirement thing too, more and more as each year goes by. Here’s a thought. What if at 25 or 30 the KeePer is offered a position as a mentor? Not a regular student, but a real Eccentric Mentor who acts as a bit of an instructor or a…[Read more]

In that case, I don’t think this writing strategy applies to her. If it’s public knowledge, it’s going to be reader knowledge. You could maybe hide her emotional reaction to the tragedy until later, since she needs to act strong for her country. (If you wanted. Just an idea.)
But I think in this case, it’s good to introduce her with…[Read more]

@loopylin

An assassination of her father, the President.

@whalekeeper

I pretty much agree. I know how to use this place, and I intend to use the blog library here more, since I remembered it existed. XD I don’t intend to leave. I see the new website as another resource, with the possibility of being a retreat should this place succumb to Wyoh or the famous 400 Chinese robots who attacked a few years…[Read more]

@theducktator

Was it a war or an assassination or something? Maybe this just doesn’t apply to your character?

@loopylin

Ooo Ink aesthetics!! I love the vintage/victoian style. It’s classy and dramatic, my favorite. Lol.

Brea’s is making me rethink her a bit. I like it. It’s playful and serious at the same time. The color choice is intriguing. The old photo is precious.

Felicity… I love it. I am also concerned. It’s beautiful and cold with a heart…[Read more]

@loopylin

I’ve seen that, and I’m trying to figure out how to avoid it for one of my characters, but it was also a major event in her country, so I don’t think it’s avoidable.

@whalekeeper

Hehe yesss these memes are excellent. I shall send them to my brother.

@whalekeeper

I had a feeling this might resonate with you.

( I wanna share this discovery with other people too though, but tags are scaryyy)

In conclusion, my apologies for tempting you to reveal secrets.

Don’t apologize. Questions like that are really motivating to keep me writing since I know someone is actually interested. So thanks :]

Once…

@loopylin

I know I was the one asking you, but this is my reason for holding backstories back too. This is it. My characters have those quirks that are connected to their past, but if I revealed the past, the cat’s out of the bag and it feels almost taboo.

In conclusion, my apologies for tempting you to reveal secrets. I shall always be on the…[Read more]

This isn’t a rant. I just didn’t know where to post this. But I found a thing on Pinterest that I think explains exactly why I don’t like talking about my character’s backstories:

(not that all my characters have sad backstories. I’m actually a pretty nice author by comparison to most lol)

@rae

Yeah.

I think many lgbtq people gravitate towards art because I know many of them are mentally unstable, and suffer from depression and other things, and as I think we all know, art is an outlit for that.

True

I’m currently experiencing a boom in my art. Just today I’ve done multiple sketches and linework, which is highly unusual for me, but…

@keilah-h

Sorry if she’s acting odd. I’m still trying to figure out how to write her accurately.

Felicity

“Emu. Ee-mu.” Felicity slowly sounded the strange word out to herself. She laughed.

“Emus, bird people, lizard people, trolls, disappearing boyfriends… Heh. This is insane.” She held her head in her hands, and backed away from the dead…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Brea’s aesthetic is adorable and her faceclaim has such a stubborn expression.

Does Fel need protection?

In her mind, it’s everyone else who needs protection.

@whalekeeper

I think I’m on the same page as you on that topic, though I’m most likely to just follow where everyone else goes. If everyone were to migrate to the new  website while kp was working still, I’d go to the new website too. But I doubt that will happen. Do we even have enough active people for there to even be a risk of people…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

I’m open to communicating by email. I think everyone who volunteered has mine already…..

When I scrolled to the bottom of the page, I expected the words ‘Books‘ and ‘Shop‘ to be clickable, especially when I was on my phone. The text underneath these words very much suggests that I should just be able to click on them…

lol! Love it!!!
