@ellette-giselle but they….can’t have children? Biologically?

like yeah adoption is a thing but that’s different (not that I agree with homosexual couples or the idea that they could raise children, because I DON’T, I’m just saying I know of incidents where that’s happened)

@ellette-giselle BIRTHING LOTTERY?!!

That alone just—just—…….oh my gosh I hope the US never, ever, ever gets to that point, because HECK NAW IF THAT HAPPENS I AM REGISTERING MYSELF AS DEAD THIRTY YEARS AGO AND MOVING UNDERGROUND.

I’m sorry, evil government, but no one, NO ONE, is EVER allowed to treat me like that, and if I could I w…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Lol. He starts off sounding reliable. But he happens to believe a similar lie to the MC, so partway into the story you get to suddenly realize something doesn’t add up.

Or at least, that’s the plan. Who knows. I might make him the only person who knows the truth, but make that truth kinda hard to believe. We’ll see.

The prophesy…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon lol I like those too.

@ellette-giselle

*Snort*

….

That’s not too bad a title, if you want it. The Resident Psychopath.

The difference my dear, is that I only kill characters if I have a good enough reason.

@ellette-giselle

*Squeaks*

Just felt bad leaving Leo where he was and returning to MG.

XD

I think madam, you may be dubbed The Lady Letter Opener, if others agree. You have both steel and letters in thy arsenal, so steel for letters in thy gift. *Curtsey*

Honestly call yourself what you want. I named myself the Nursery Rhymer, and I hardly…[Read more]

Cookie looking siblings,

Oops. Cookie loving. How did I get a typo in a pretyped, typo-less blurb…

@whalekeeper

Ma’am. Please introduce your story in more detail. I am currently working on a whimsy story of fairies, cozy homes, and evil people-eating rabbits. We have a few things in common and I would love to hear about your project.

Hmm, I do see similarities. Okay, here’s the blurb:

Cookie looking siblings, a begrudgingly helpful fairy, a…[Read more]

@power

I’m not in the competition, I just thought Ellette’s comment was funny.

@ellette-giselle

Eh, not in a good long time, and only when my brother was first starting out in it, so to speak. I definitely couldn’t hold my own against a real 14th century knight.

But I’m also learning a lot of medical stuff right now…so I could probably…[Read more]

@theducktator

Book recs?? *Squeals* okay, here’s a few of my favorite whimsy books.

A Place to Hang the Moon by Late Albus

The Ogress and the Orphans by Kelly Barnhill

East by Edith Pattou (this one does get kinda darkish, but as in, it’s a rewrite of a Norwegian fairytale where there are evil trolls who let freeze people to death)

@loopylin

Alrighty! XD And no time pressure. I need to focus on getting a first draft right now anyway, so I’m not asking for scheduled edits or anything. Lol.

@loopylin

I’m honestly a bit tired of dark stuff and stories that “deal with hard themes”. We need more silliness and whimsy. The real world is full of it. Maybe we should reflect it more in our writing.

A hundred and ten percent agree. We need more whimsy and light.

@loopylin

Ahhh, me too oOoOO… fairies…..

I was actually just thinking about getting someone to read over the first chapter and prologue and give me feedback. I know it’s got spots that sort of dragged, but I literally just finished that chapter a few minutes ago and so I didn’t want to look at it myself. (Actually trying a new writing habit…[Read more]

@loopylin

Hmm. Welp, I do write poetry, if it can be called that.

Also I have no idea what age group my stories are for when I’m writing them, but I definitely have a few that feel like children’s books so you are not alone :] I don’t have very many externally dark themes in my stories usually that would make it YA.

*Grateful hugs*

It does feel…[Read more]

Other possible titles for anyone who wants one of them. =D

The Optimist Thundercloud

The Local Amnesiac

The Chaos Gremlin

The Exhausted Chemist and or Mixer of Reality

@whalekeeper

 I remember watching it when I was younger and being creeped out. It’s such a fun film.

Why do these two sentences make sense together? Like, why?

Or at least, titling things. I can name stuff all day long. It’s the officially titlely stuff that gets hard. Most of my books aren’t even titled.

For a title for myself, don’t really know that I’ve done anything of great impact here. I do seem to write more children’s fiction than most though (or maybe y’all are keeping secret MG WIPs? *Hopeful smile*). So maybe The Nursery Rhymer, or something. Idk. I’m not very good at naming things.

@ellette-giselle

seeing as I am Lilly one of the few on here who actually owns swords and daggers…. I think I get a fair chance at that title

An interesting thought, madame.

@those who are talking about titles

can i be the resident xeno-anthropologist or something? (No, you do not have to call it that, something simple like beast master or alien/dragon/whatever negotiator is fine lol)

was thinking what role I’d play and then realized the entirety of my time on KP has been marked by at least one h…[Read more]
