Faith Q.

@elfwing Awww it sounds amazing XDD It actually sounds similar to how “mine” acted looolll XD

@hallie-jean Ah, it’s been a long time since I’ve read Percy Jackson… It is by that new Riordan press, though, right? The one with all the mythology YA retellings?

To be honest, if I were to redo mythology, I’d do Chinese mythology, because that’s my personal favorite, heh.

@hallie-jean Ah, no, actually! That sounds very fun, though! XD

Here’s another picture I took for inspiration:

@elfwing Mm yes ducks would make such cute spies. My guards would definitely let down their guard for them. If I had guards.

And yes, eat the chickens. Better than eating the horse, heheh.

And geese are absolutely terrifying they would definitely make very good watchdogs. Or turkeys. Forget peacocks turkeys would do more than just be decoration.

@elfwing How about…chickens? There seems to be an underwhelming amount of chickens in fantasy except in cooking.

And ducks. And geese.

These are incredible!  Have you thought about published some poems on the KP blog?  I did it once, with the poem The Journal.  You should totally do it!!

Also, welcome to KP!  Feel free to join any topics that you want.  Do you only write poetry or do you write fiction/nonfiction too?

@alia I’m going to be sprinting all day, so I may or may not be on here. Have fun writing!

@joy-caroline

Ugh, I totally get what you’re talking about!  Sometimes  daydream about my other books while writing a blah one, and I’m like “why am I even writing this??”

So I’d say go for it.  If you got problems, face ’em head-on.  That way, you’ll be able to get over the problem more quickly.  And as for your idea, I’m loving it!!!  I’m per…[Read more]

Ooh ooh!

@elfwing FENNEC FOXES THE LOVE OF MY LIFE!!! And yes there is one in my series.

Look up exotic animals if ur looking for something new! There’s lemurs, monkeys, lizards, fish, turtles, sugar gliders, porcupines, guinea pigs, hamsters, ferrets, kangaroos, deer, etc.

Oh and tragic backstory…

and secret identity…..

ermmm. Let’s just say most of them 🤣

@kathleenramm

Chosen one and found family. Tho also best friends turned lovers if that counts. Lol

@kathleenramm Secret identities —- your works sound lowkey like Durarara!, which has quite a bit of that around the climax.

Hmm…for me I find myself pulling more light novel tropes, usually, such as getting hit by a truck, white curtains blowing in a classroom, fireworks festivals, etc…. I watch too much anime…

Um…I use “the quest” a…[Read more]

@joy-caroline That sounds awesome! I’m all for parallels! Sounds like it would be hard to pull off but if you could do it, that’d be really good!

@elfwing I gotchaa, I was actually discussing the same thing the other day with a friend! I used a weasel-like fantasy creature in Era of Shadows XD She talks and has venom tho

@kathleenramm

I have a couple of tropes that will have to be pried from cold dead hands. I do like secret identities and I usually have one or two in any given book. But found family is my number one trope, it’s literally in every single book I’ve ever written.

@kathleenramm

Undoubtedly, most definitely, undeniably dark and brooding love interests… 😐

They’re just so amazing, you know?  And even if he isn’t the love interest, he’s probably gonna be a side character.

Also, hate-to-love romances are pretty amazing.

So ya, to some it up, romance tropes are most common in my WIPs… hehe!

@keilah-h Of course! One of my favorite books, East of Eden, is a retelling of Cain and Abel, and I love it to pieces. Your methods sound so cool! What stories do you usually choose?

@kathleenramm Ah, farmer/shepherd meaning Cain and Abel, haha… I didn’t realise I was writing a retelling of the first murder until I was almost done. So…

Yes, reflective character arcs are so good with foils and things… Those always strengthen themes the best, I think.
