@ellette-giselle @loopylin @whalekeeper @elishavet-pidyon @esther-c (Realized I was confusing the last two of you as one person. Oops! Too many names starting with ‘E’. Esther, did you see the thing about Notion for people who are interested in helping to get this website started/moderating)

I wanted to let you guys know about a girl named Eva…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle @loopylin @esther-c (@whalekeeper, tagging you as well because I have a feeling you want to stay in the loop.)

Thank you to all three of you for volunteering. Seems like we have different strengths among us, which is a good thing and will help us cover different areas of the site.

I don’t think I am going to proceed with making…[Read more]

@esther-c

I’m late to the party here, but I’d suggest maybe looking up blogs by people who travel and write about their experiences in other countries. You’d probably be able to get a peek into the culture of Africa through the eyes of an outsider that way. As Koshka mentioned, African culture can be vastly different depending on which part of…[Read more]

I’ll be writing this evening for a while. Starting at :15. I’m excited to work on Project Shaffer! I was planning on a different project to focus on during the C.S. Lewis Fellowship but I couldn’t focus on it, so I’m switching gears. (Trying to get words in before the challenge starts.) If anyone wants to join, please do! @freed_and_redeemed @koshk…[Read more]

@esther-c

A story set in Africa? Sounds great to me! I do see what you mean about the culture difference, and I’m just going to say up front that it’s a good thing you recognize the need to study instead of going with stereotypes! Still, don’t let it hold you back. If changing the setting ends up being the answer, that’s ok, but research doesn’t…[Read more]

@esther-c

First of all, cultural research?! You have my mostly undivided but prone to rabbit trailing attention. Now, Africa is very big and is as diverse in people groups, religions, climates, and cultures as most other continents. I would get an idea of where you’re sending your charies first to narrow down the scope of what you’re tackling.…[Read more]

@esther-c

Is there a reason why you want to set the story in Africa? Maybe you just want a fresh but still realistic setting, and if so, that’s fair.

I’ve never been to Africa, but I have a friend my age who travels the world almost nomadically with her family. She’s definitely been there! And she is an avid writer. So I can contact her with…[Read more]

@esther-c My grandma currently has a friend visiting who is from Uganda and my dad recently went on a short trip to Nairobi, so if you have any more specific questions I can probably ask either of them for you. :]

*slowly shuffles in*

Welp it’s been a while 😅🫶🏻

I have been *DEEP* in the trenches of life, school, and writing, and tbh I needed a bit of a break from here. I still don’t plan on being here a…[Read more]

@esther-c

Awesome! Y’all are the best.

I don’t have your email to my knowledge, so we can do the profile message thing or wait until next week when I’m hoping to have a system set up. Either way, I don’t mind! Just happy to bug someone else. 😉

@loopylin

Lois feels like that one guy who is basically either unfazed or slightly grumpy, and accidentally becomes the cool kid because of it

XD no, I was still in the digging ditches phase. My hands have so many blisters

I’m sorry. I hope they feel a little better by now.

@esther-c

Indeed! 🤣 Alright then, shall be expecting new character!

@linus-smallprint @highscribeofaetherium @keilah-h @ellette-giselle @loopylin

Alright, that sounds good! If needed, I can probably try to set up a Slack group, but since that won’t work for some people it might be better just to use email (as a last resort if the website actually goes down) until we figure out if we’re building a new web…[Read more]

@hybridlore

If you want to set something up on Slack go ahead.

I’ve started making a battle plan for a new website. For now, I will build a…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint @theducktator @keilah-h

It looks like our best option would be either Slack or creating a new website, I think. We can always switch around depending on what works and what doesn’t.

I’m bringing this topic back after a million months because I don’t like to make new topics. XD

For those of you who love sibling stories, what do you like most in a story about a sibling relationship? What tropes and dynamics do you like? I’m mentally exhausted from thinking about this too hard and I need more people’s ideas, just to wake me up.…[Read more]

@esther-c

I’m not here to get into a political debate, but I just wanna say that it’s awful to hear about things like this becoming normal in our country while I’m currently studying the founding of our nation in history class. People don’t understand the values our nation was founded on. 😣

Ugh, I know!!

I was thinking about that today. No human…[Read more]
