I HAVE ARRIVED.

I not only adore political intrigue in fantasy, I believe it can be absolutely essential for developing your world and characters.
Disclaimer before I explain that— a fair chunk of my characters are inherently political by very…[Read more]

@amy-l-klob Welcome to the site! Glad you made your way over into getting an account. 😉 What sort of stuff do you like to read?

@livylynn Hey! Do you have a certain time you want the feedback sent to you? I’m super interested (fairytale/ sci-fi sounds fascinating!) but am trying to think through all my time commitments.

@aislinn-mollisong Hi!!! (Since I hadn’t said it before)

@amy-l-klob Welcome!!! I’m so glad you found KP! (Before I joined KP I hadn’t used a forum either :p don’t hesitate to ask questions if you need help navigating this new world 🙂 )
And a fellow drama lover! Favorite drama? Do you like musicals?

@joy-schmidt You’re back! (again, haha 😀 ) Couldn’t stay away, huh? :p I’m super glad you’ve returned! (Maybe this time we’ll succeed at keeping you around?)

@warrioroftherealm oh my heavens. This question. Just— I have a rant, okay? And I don’t have time to rant it right now.

@the-real-kapeefer
Welp, I’m here…finally. Better late than never, right? It took you long enough to join! Anyways, hi and welcome and all that. 🙂 See you around.

@hannah-c I’d be interested in doing it in January. I can’t guarantee it will work for me, but I think there’s a pretty good chance.

@warrioroftherealm

Well, it depends. You should know that men don’t have a particularly large advantage over women in a one on one combat. The disparity mainly exists in battles where men can keep fighting way way longer.

The trick is, I assume this angel is quite competent with a sword. The best idea that comes to my mind is that she could try…[Read more]

Hi, @joy-schmidt 😀

@jane-maree I’m afraid my characters do tend that way… 😛 😉

Well, you guys inspired me. I actually went and made a collage for a character I haven’t even written yet. His name is Kaine.

Oh, and did I mention he’s a villain?
@Dragon-snapper @Daeus @Hope @Mariposa @aislinn-mollisong

@Dragon-snapper he does look really annoying. XD

@daughteroftheking @jessi-rae Plz no. >.>
