Pastor Nikolai Aleksandr Smirnov and MGB Agent Peter Dimitri Kuznetsov together as the MCs of a novel would be fabulous…I’m getting ideas already…oh no XXD
What?! Another book? Oh dear. XD
A quick side note: did you intend Alesandr and Dimitri to be middle names or were you referring to patronymics (the father’s (or other…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings I actually like the Star Wars shows better than the movies for that reason. The show characters are easier to connect to. Their character development is more spread out. They typically have more clear ambitions/passions/etc, even if those ambitions and passions aren’t exactly good ones. The movie characters don’t have it that way.

And you could totally play with his backstory like why he chooses or has to fight as a gladiator when he’s just this super nice guy

Oooh, I love romantic side plots XD
You could also toss in some conflict and have the guy meet her with bad intentions, like to figure out how to make Vital or steal it, etc. But then he ends up liking her. I feel like that trope is kinda overused, but if it’s done well, it doesn’t bother me.
I like Loopy’s idea too.…[Read more]

That sounds very inconvenient to live under. No wonder your characters want to get out. Does just the Orb shrink, or does everything inside it shrink too?
Oh yes, very inconvenient 😑 lol
Just the Orb itself
I’m terrified that by the time I get to experience 4 feet of snow I’ll be too old to enjoy it. XD
Lol! For real XD

Esther replied to the topic The Chat Chat in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 5 months ago
Umm… my immediate answer would be Leon. I find him more relatable in a general sense and for some reason I just love him more. XD I wish I could give you more of a complete answer, lol. I guess I pretty much agree with what everyone else has said.
And that scene….
Girl!!! They’re smuggling Bibles together?!! I love that!! 😆

Thanks!! 🥰
It was because i saw a pic of a girl riding piggyback with a guy and I was like, “I need to put this in my book!” XD

His own book? Welp, that is the way it goes, isn’t it. XD

Soviet Russia era Bible smugglers/underground churches?! EEEEEEEE…I am so happy.
Also, I adore the name Nikolai.

SD Smith quotes…
“Call me Master, child.”
“Yes Masterchild.”
“I’d go for Joe’s arm. He’s sensitive there and has to get it wrapped by the pretty doctors every day.”
“Hey!” Joe said “They make me. It’s not like I want to.”
“Semi-madness?” Emma laughed. “So he’s ahead of you on the madness scale. That’s good.”

Ooof. It’s so hard to pick a favorite character. XD Especially when I haven’t actually read the book book yet.
As you know, I do like Leon. He was my first favorite, when I first met them. He also reminds me of other characters I have long adored (Natan Israeli, Judah Ben-Hur). At times I don’t enjoy his arc very much,…[Read more]

MineralizedWritings replied to the topic The Chat Chat in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 5 months ago
Oh, interesting question…
Well my kneejerk reaction is Riker because I feel so bad for him but honestly it’s got to be Leon.
Here’s a couple reasons why:
Leon feels realistic. He’s lost his spouse, been in the concentration camp, and now has to start over. It makes sense he might become a alcoholic.
Leon’s character arc…[Read more]

I would love some plotting help from you guys if you have the time! I’m thinking about starting one of my stories as a webtoon and I’m wanting to work out the kinks first.
I’m tagging you guys because it’s a lot darker than my other story and I didn’t think you would mind lol.
Basically, there’s a point that could be a…[Read more]

Ok, thanks! I may check out Instagram, but I have to see 🙂

Well, just to clarify, the excited part was about you almost being ready to be published. 😉 I mean, driving’s exciting t…

Yesssss. She would be adorable as a part of Riker’s family tho 🥰 Then Riker/Iris will have 6 kids! XD I mean, why not?? 🤣
Um yes that sounds awesome!! That’s how big I want my family to be when I’m married. 🥰 Whenever I say it, some people give me looks, but I’m like “I know it would be crazy and that’s a lot of kids, but I…[Read more]

Agh! This notif got buried in my emails and I almost forgot to reply! Sorry!
That sounds really interesting! So, the Orb is like a giant bubble they are trapped in?
Pretty much. It’s kinda like a screen, so it simulates what the outside should look like, but it’s not very good. So it can start pouring rain and lighting and thu…[Read more]

It’s so funny that I (and Loops now?) have a reputation of being fine with darkness 😂 Am I darker than the average person?
Ooh, okay, so is this female scientist going to have a redemption arc? Either I would assume that by reading from her POV, or I would assume she is only going to be an initial POV character as an intro to the world and s…[Read more]
Ooo I love this story idea.
So you’re asking if the scientist lady should be forced into the experiment in the first episode or in a later episode, right?
I agree it’s a great hook, but I guess it depends on how much world building and stuff you want to fit in before that happens to her. Maybe you want some time to show what her normal life loo…[Read more]
@loopylin
Thanks 🙂
@whalekeeper @loopy
Thank you guys so much for your feedback! Showing a bit of her normal life before could be a good idea…. hmmm I’ll think about it.
Lol, I can just tell. I can’t remember what it was loopy said a long time ago but somehow I knew. Oh, and when Whaley told me abt her dragon prince pfp she warned me abt…[Read more]
I’m…uh…intrigued already
a little dark, yes, but it can also show something beautiful if handled correctly. If you feel led to do this, then I say don’t shy away from it <3
I am loving those themes. I feel you there, girl…it really does sometimes feel like Christians don’t understand. My BFF has dealt with a lot of mental health, so she does understand, but I know what you mean <3
I absolutely love the idea.
I'm doing well! Juggling school, church, writing, family, and all of the things, 😂, but doing well! I've…[Read more]
@mineralizedwritings
The string of commenting on comments is maxed 😂
*Is probably more bothered by the darkness comment than I need to be* Most of my writing is composed of jokes and exaggerated candy metaphors! 😭 That stupid human Pokémon story will never leave me. Never.

@whalekeeper
Oh I’m sorry I didn’t know it would bug you! I just tagged you and loopy because I knew it wouldn’t disturb you, everyone has different tolerance levels. I didn’t mean to say you are a dark person 😂
Thanks!
And thank you for the prayers! <3
Lol are you infj too?
Btw how are you doing?
It’s okay 🤪 I think there are specific types of dark, and I lean into a different type than others do on here. Like for some reason a lot of people here don’t write or read dark humor? But tragic/tortured/abusive backstories are common and detailed. It’s a weird combination of preferences, and I have to admit I don’t identify with those prefere…[Read more]
Also I’m sorry if I sounded pushy over the whole darkness topic! 😖
@whalekeeper
I get that, maybe it does seem odd to other people. Dark humor is pretty much fine to me, Ig just depending on context like anything else.
I think on kp where the *line* stands seems odd because it’s largely dependent on religious beliefs vs some standard. Like, most of us here are not comfortable with ‘creepy’ stuff. For example,…[Read more]
@whalekeeper
That’s interesting. I analyze other people, but I also analyze myself to a further extent. I want to understand all the things my subconscious is hiding from me so I know exactly how I work XD
Ah, freezing fear of college. Well, I’ve got a freezing fear of Uni. College isn’t so bad, who cares what people think anyways. You’ll have a…[Read more]
Riiight, so it’s a distinction between objectively bad things/creepy/bordering on dark magic. I’ve understood the magic issue to some extent, it’s just a lot of the in-between stuff that bothers me.
Side note, I was into Veggie Tales and Pixar 🙃
I’m sorry for the little rampage here 😅 But someone can describe the details of their charact…[Read more]
Ah, yes, the elusive subconscious 🤣
I’m almost definitely taking a gap year. Whenever I tell a well-to-do mom I’m not going to college right away, they’ll pause, and their eyes go glassy… it’s funny but intimidating because I’m not living up to expectations.
The Katara thing!! Yeeess!!! I absolutely hated that! My dad rolled his eyes, and I had t…[Read more]
@whalekeeper
Ah, I see where some of the confusion is. I think the best way I can explain it is that for the majority of the people here, creepy isn’t a shade of dark, it’s an entirely other animal that isn’t ok. I’m not trying to say your doing something wrong, just some people won’t be on board. It’s something that for me changes with exposure.…[Read more]
@whalekeeper
Lol, that’s interesting. Well you should be proud for picking what works best for you, instead of doing the popular thing. You’re living up to your expectations, not theirs. Isn’t that important? 🙂
