Sure, I’ll ask Paul some questions!

Hello, Paul. It’s nice to make your acquaintance.

Where are you from?

Do you have a family? Are there any people who have influenced your life positively, and who are they?

Would you tell me about this siege you’re preparing for?

Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey.

I wrote out a detailed response to this, but my post didn’t go through. 😒 So I’ll try again.

I think it’s a flawed adaptation but a quality modern film. It is very stylistically “Christopher Nolan” which is exactly why it is flawed yet still quality.

As an adaptation, it gets several things wrong – the b…[Read more]

I’m Esther, a homeschooled high school senior and lover of stories. I’ve been a member for 4 years but have sadly been quite inactive for the past year or so 😭 I’m trying to change that by starting with welcoming our new members!

Now I have some questions for you because why not…[Read more]

I’m Esther, a homeschooled high school senior and lover of stories. I’ve been a member for almost 4 years now, but the past year or so I haven’t been very active at all 😭 So we’re changing that by welcoming new friends!!

Okiii, some questions for you!

~ if you could visit anywhere in the world,…[Read more]

Yes of course!!!

About two years ago, my mom was diagnosed with Mantle Cell Lymphoma. It was pretty bad, she had to go to MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas (a LONG ways from Montana where we live!) and get some treatment because her cancer was really severe. Mantle Cell Lymphoma alone is very aggressive, and my mom also had…[Read more]

In his world “elf” is a racial slur. *narrows eyes at Koshka*

Of course it is. XD I will never speak that word around Inglor again.

He has heightened senses generally, talks to trees, and is ridiculously agile.

So Inglor is a monkey. 😀

For instance, a stranger traveling through the Wode expects to see lots of animals, maybe a r…

Wouldn’t it be great to own an ice cream or candy shop, and spend your days making pretty treats?

…If cereal has a lot of milk, is it a soup?

Hmm. I don’t know. It’s not cooked, so I’m a little skeptical. Not to mention, soup is savory. But I am willing to be persuaded.

……Are burritos/tacos a sandwich?

Decidedly no. Sandwiches are made from two pieces of bread with another type of food in between them.

………Is ice cream beautiful?…

There’s a reason I don’t drink caffeine.

I have a lot of things to thank God for, and this is certainly one of them. I can practically feel your radioactive energy shooting out of my screen.

Soooooo… ye like whaaaaales?

Wouldn’t you believe it, I’ve never been asked this question. Huh.

I actually have neutral opinions when it comes…[Read more]

You’re crazy. I like you.

Hello noob. You sound cool. :]

I must ask, how would you explain your summer novel, comic, D&D campaign, and metroidvania? Give me a little summary of each one, if you like. Or not. Whatever you would deign to tell a stranger.

It sounds like a challenge to combine steampunk, which is a genre built around retrofuturism and the…[Read more]

See, a perfect sphere is pretty, but something broken, something sharp – that could cut bonds.

Aaaahhh.

This is not just a straightforward evolution. You’re smelting off the dross.

Inglor is an elfling? Does he have any fantastical elvish abilities or talents?

…And this is the French Revolution? O.O

Ye. The whole story feels…[Read more]

Goodness, that was a rant you did not ask for. XD My apologies. It’s your turn to rant about something.

Someone may have asked this question before. But I’ll ask it. Do you have a current writing project, and what is it about?

hmm.. I like Kate ( though that seems predictable, but I sort of understand her).

Maybe it’s not that crazy to say this, but I think she’s a pretty unique kid and I’ve always loved her for that. She’s so unapologetically energetic but practical at the same time. And she carries the team several times.

There’s clevernes…

It’s his rock bottom.

😧

Inglor, no… I’m so sorry. I did not mean to lead your author to this idea. Please forgive me.

The poor guy probably doesn’t deserve to lose his rock. I vote he and his rock live happily ever after together, the end.

Is the project disconcerted as well?

Yes it is intensely disconcerted. It wasn’t even s…[Read more]

Really? *feels imense satisfaction*

Indeed. XD I hope Inglor finds constant hope under this vague doom you speak of.

I am both intrigued and concerned lol.

I am also concerned and I happen to be the writer of this… thing

Somehow, even though whenever we actually write in his story he’s a bundle of adventureous dreams and joy, he has always had this doom hanging over him.

His name somehow communicates that to me. Not concretely, but you know what I mean. It sounds dreamy to me, but also a little foreboding because of the –lor ending.

I think his s…

Thank you for contributing these lovely little memes today.

You need to tell me who Inglor is. I am a touch concerned for him. 😅 It sounds like he thinks he’s okay and he isn’t really okay.

Also, Remi meme! Heehee! I… may or may not be writing a novella for him. That may or may not be happening as we speak.

also, all that makes sense. If you really wanted to, you could actually just not have humans, and say that the equivalent of “humans” are all of the sentient races. There’s a book series I read which has three “human” races: the tall and skinny o’rants, the more muscular ma…[Read more]

It’s so weird not knowing everyone. It’s been the same people on here for almost 4 years and it feels so weird to introduce myself lol

Heck yes, it’s overstimulating. Hopefully it will calm down and everyone will settle! Or we’ll get used to it, I suppose. Either way, I’m thankful because the site was beginning to look desolate.

*Comes in, closes the door behind me, and crashes on the nearest beanbag* Undeniably yes. It’s my comfort series. Who is your favorite character, what is your favorite book, why do you like the series, and do you have any other opinions you wish to report?

Yeah, I opened my email and I was like WHATTT

And I logged onto Kingdom Pen and it’s very overstimulating 😭 I will get used to it I guess but wow it’s crazy

You are very welcome

@savannah_grace2009

Heeyyyyy, so uh… yeah, things are a little chaotic at the present. It hasn’t been happening for long! I believe we started getting new members on Monday? Not sure. We are all alive, some of us just barely. We were used to the quieter pace and now things are changing. This place is busy again. :]

OH MY WORD YOU’RE ALIVE

I’m Sara! I’ve been on here for about 4 years, but the last two years I haven’t been very active. I currently open KP once like every two months lol

I’ve also been working on the same novel since my freshman year (now I’m a senior) and I have yet to finish a single draft. Just ask the other people on here, I…[Read more]

I’m so sorry to hear that. I know what it’s like to have a parent fighting cancer. I don’t know what it’s like for you, but I’m willing to listen if you ever need to talk! I’m not super active on here but if you tag me I’ll reply when I can!!

@ellette-giselle @whalekeeper you guys are WHAT NOW???

And the KP people are ALIVE?!?!

I’ve been gone for so long lol I need to catch up hahahahaha

I would kind of like to be siblings with the Wingfeathers (tho that would throw off the entire plot), or Kate from Mysterious Benedict Society. Those come to mind first.

*Peeks at this conversation through a crack in the door*

Are you… a big fan of Mysterious Benedict Society?

After much thought (and casually disappearing again) I have decided what I want to do.

I’m still working on developing the plotline, as it has changed a lot.

I’m not sure if I’ll ever finish this story because I change it so much, but I honestly just write for fun so I guess if it’s fun, I should be…[Read more]

You’re welcome! Our brains need room to breathe and generate ideas without rules. Sometimes we cause our problems by putting too many walls around ourselves, hehe.

You literally just answered the question I’ve been asking myself: why have I never finished first drafts? It’s because the middle of my book always feels forced!!!

There you have it! When I talk with people, either about my own work or theirs, that section in between the inciting incident and the midpoint is almost always the pro…[Read more]

Rallascant, you fuzzy snitch. You’re the opposite of a lucky rabbit’s foot.

I do appreciate your sass, but this is remarkably unhelpful.

Moth

Well done. Moth’s chest rose a little.

He tilted his head in a sort of shrug, eying his attempt. It looked like he had some skill – even though that was not true. His initial wish for the shot had been much humbler. “I must make offerings to serendipity in my sleep. How do I know where the arrowhead will fly?”

Yeah, the middle part of a story is always the weirdest part. Koshka and Quicksilver made good points. I think a huge part of it is coming up with obstacles, and then connecting them to lead to the midpoint.

Follow-up question. Is it possible that the structure isn’t the issue, but that it’s incredibly difficult to think of actual…[Read more]

I’ll see if I can borrow this through my library! I was planning to get into my local library this week anyway. Interlibrary loans should give me access to this.

I haven’t read Adorning the Dark, but I’ve heard of it. I’ve heard good things about it. It has a lovely title.

In the space of a couple days, we’ve started making new accounts for people again, and this is the result. Lots of people. 😅

actually a random monster in soldier’s room actually makes sense y’know? not that his room is anything more than an alleyway or some cave most likely lol

I mostly draw pieces inspired by songs. I work digitally. I might post something in the art forum later, actually.

That’s so cool! I’d love to see your work if you decide to post it (:

There is a topic for explaining the roleplays now. As most of you know. I only gave basic blurbs for the most recently active three.

They are concept blurbs, not plot summaries. I could probably make plot summaries too. That will take longer, but hey, it would be helpful.

I’m thinking of Labyrinth…[Read more]
