🤣 Love the papayas

I think I technically lucid dream all the time because I always know I’m dreaming, and always change it to my liking. Although I’m still woozy so I never think to dream about any characters. But I had a real lucid dream a while ago, where I dreamed I was in the hallway next to my bedroom. It was the reale…[Read more]

Goodness XD That’s so fun. And yeah, crazy dreams like that always happen when you’ve woken up during the night and gone back to sleep again. Have you ever had a lucid dream?

Thank you, I had a lot of fun writing it! I used to catch a lot of pill bugs when I was little. Called them rolly-pollies. Goodness, I don’t know how to spell that XD

Oh those dreams must be so cool XD I never dream about my characters. I see yours reveal their greatest passions easily. How often do they communicate to you t…[Read more]

Awww that scene was so sad but cute!

Of course!

I happened to stumble upon this by chance….and I’m glad I did! Your writing is beautiful! It’s so sad….but beautiful! (you should publish this…)

This is so sweet and sad! This is random, but I was wondering how old Marie was?

Aww, thanks! I’m really enjoying this story. It’s been quite a refreshing change from my major WIP. I think this will end up being a short story or novella.

I bet!! That’ll be cool!

Oh my goodness XD

Finally finished reading! I’m loving the characters. That last one with the toad was adorable.

Argh, my posts are having trouble coming through!

I’ve been trying to say for a while that I’m loving these writing snippets! They’re really good!

XD Yeah, I could see that lol.

No problem! Thanks!

I really like it! XD The toad… Lol.

That sounds like so much fun. I love thunderstorms and candles. I’d love to read what you wrote. Did you post it already somewhere else?

@euodia-vision

Thanks! 😊

Not that I know of, though that is a funny idea!

This is a really cool idea! I like how you’re telling a story while still using all the prompts in order. Great job so far!

Sure!

@fernweh_grace

Aww, I know XD What’s your character like? I’m sorry, I can’t remember what your WIP is about, lol. Have you talked about it on here?

@keilah-h

That’s weird… I’m not a star wars fan, but still. Interesting.

@freedomwriter76 wow nice boards!

wait, is Fin the one that dies on Riker’s watch??

His dad died too?

Wow, that family has some sad story going on.

Awww, I really like this! It’s so sad though. What setting is it in? Like time period, fantasy world, real world, etc.

Cool! Can’t wait!

Oooh, that sounds really cool!!

For sharing, you can do that on here!! Or make a new forum. Whatever ya want!

I’m jumping into this conversation a little late, but just thought I’d mention another RP I’ve been in that just recently started. I didn’t start it, but it’s called Characters of England/ A 19th Century Role Play. Idk if that would interest you at all, but the first party just started and then the RP sort of stalled, so it would…[Read more]

Thanks! And yep, they’re really fun!!

Yeah, I’m part of her street team actually, so I just got a letter from her and all that. I’m probably going to preorder her book too – it looks awesome!!

Oh good!! I’ll have to check that one out! And yep, I know what you mean XD

Oh yeah, I think I did read that summary… it looks cool! I’d be interested to read it!

Okay, I thought so!! And that’s awesome!!!

Yes, I know. I figure I’ll give out my email a few weeks before I do leave. I already have some random emails from my mentee, fellow chess players, my accountability partner, etc., but I plan on keeping in contact with some others as well. (:

My favorite part is probably adding all of…[Read more]

Oh, actually, I might know you! Didn’t you draw that awesome map of Aerwiar and all that and put it on the Wingfeather PM??

I’m Ava Murbarger on YDubs!! Also I’m in Amber!!! I’m the same way in the competitions lol, but I might actually be leaving YDubs in May… Still a long ways away, but it goes by fast.

I’m starting to draw…[Read more]

Also, your story sounds really cool!

Oh my YES The God of the Garden was sooooo good!!

Yep, I’m on YDubs! Thanks for the tag @hybridlore 😁

Uh, let’s see. A little bit about me. I play guitar and sing for church, I’m about to be a PK, I just sort of finished a decent sized novel (no editing, so it’s kinda rough XD), and I’m working on a sequel. Hybridlore is kind of the beta reader for all that stuff (:

Aaaaanyway,…[Read more]

Hi again! I’m pretty sure I’ve already introduced myself, and I’m late XD

I love the Wingfeather Saga, but I haven’t read anything else by Andrew Peterson yet .. I’m excited to, though! I’m waiting on Adorning the Dark, I think. And I also really liked Our of the Silent Planet!

I’m not on YWW, but I know that @kyronthearcanin is!…[Read more]

Hi, nice to meet you!

We do have one role play going on that you can join (I know because I made it, lol) if you want. We’re pretty far along, but you can hop in anytime! It’s the one titled “Character Party” on the General Writing Discussions session. If you happen to join, you might want to read all the previous RP’s so you…[Read more]

I’m good, thanks! How are you doing?

@fernweh_grace

Hi! Of course you can be here, everyones welcome 🙂 lets see…. I dont really have the patience to look at moss, my mom and brother love to do it, but I cant really get into it. I do loooove to look at paintings though! I haven’t read any of those books you listed either, but I am…[Read more]

Hi!!

KP can definitely be confusing sometimes, but you’ll figure it out eventually, I’m sure 😛

I’ve participated in a lot of the roleplays on here, and while I don’t lead any of them per say, sometimes I take the moderator role because that’s just my personality XD You can join almost any of them if you ask! Some people jo…[Read more]

Hi! I’m Keilah. The first half of your name was funny to me, because my uncle owns an ice cream shop by that name!

We LOVE roleplays lol. There are a bunch, they’re mostly kinda dead/going slow right now, but I’m sure if you joined one it could get everyone to remember them lol.

We also share LOTS of story snippets. There’s a…[Read more]

I’m @highscribe’s brother. I’ve taken a number of online classes, but I don’t think we’ve met either.

I know there’s one role play going on right now. I’m not sure if that one’s open to people joining right now though. (The house the RP is in locked everyone in I think.)

Anyway, I have been playing piano for 10 years, and I al…[Read more]

Sure! I don’t think we’d have met anywhere, unless you happen to take HHL online classes.

There are several role plays. I’m not rlly into that sort of thing, so I’m not in any of them, but I’m sure other ppl would be happy to help you join one. Some ppl share stuff about their WIPs. Some ppl create a new thread, or just share in…[Read more]

OFC you can be here! 🙂

I qualify for everything you just said.

I don’t have much of an opinion on moss 😂

Yeah, once again though, this is the era of self publishing, so stories from indie writers from all over the planet are getting better and better access to the market, allowing a deep saturation of ideas, themes, and stories of all sorts of cultures, including African varieties. While I don’t know of many examples of African…[Read more]

No worries, we all have lives, I knew you would get around to it eventually.

Those are excellent points. Things like dragons specifically might drag on the story’s ability to distinguish from other stories (pun almost unintended🤦‍♂️). Dragons are a unique case I think though, they can be unoriginal, but they have a timeless…[Read more]

Hmm, so my worldbuilding is pretty solid, and very real for me, because I literally have places based off of real things. For example, I have an underground trade city in the Nevari Desert that is directly based off of Derinkuyu, Cappadocia. I have a whole tribe that has ties to the Basotho, geographically, and culturally, and I…

I would love to tour Europe sometime! I’ve seen a little bit of England when I went with my parents to visit some missionaries in Wales a couple years back, but my ancestors are from Switzerland so it would be fun to go there. And I took French so I’d love to go to France, too.

A hard vs. soft magic system relates to how well defined the rules are. I’ll try to give some examples.

If you’ve read the Lord of the Rings, that would be a soft magic system. We don’t understand how it works really.

A hard magic system is one that the readers understand well. I can’t think of a good example that you’ve…[Read more]

Hello! Welcome to KP!

I’m the Arcane Axiom, I love math, searching for divine fundamental truth, and exploring that in my writing. I read/write sci-fi/fantasy and am currently working on a universe with my sister called the Septrum.

Questions!

Do you lean towards hard or soft worldbuilding? (Hard meaning concrete rules for the…[Read more]

Welcome Kathryn! I’m Acancello, also known as Allison! I’m homeschooled and  I love guinea pigs, dogs, traveling, acting, trying weird food (whats the craziest you have tried?), writing, reading, talking and a lot more 😁! I write Dystopian and post-apocalyptic books. I’m so glad you could come to Kingdom Pen!  OK, now I’ll as…[Read more]

I posted from my phone, but apparently it lost its way *facepalm*

Anyway, hello! I’m Jonas Cloaked Mystery’s (younger and infinitely more mature) sister. You can call me Bridget, or HighScribe. I love literally EVERY SINGLE one of those authors you mentioned, and the books, too (except for Mere Christianity and Phantastees, which…[Read more]

Welcome! I’m Janessa, aka Trailblazer, and I’m still fairly new here, too! I write a lot of contemporary fiction and also historical fiction, and I’ve tried my hand at mysteries, too. I’ve done some journalism, and I enjoy photography, especially when it involves mountains! I like to get out and hike, but unfortunately I don’t live…[Read more]

Cool! Fantasy is definitely my favorite too. What exactly do you mean by “fiction”? Wouldn’t any sort of novel be fiction, as opposed to nonfiction?

That lunar magic system sounds cool! Would you say it’s a hard magic system or more soft?

lol! No, I’m not a Ydubber. 😅 It must be a teen thing.

I agree.

Same, I’ve been writing since then too (or around that time anyway).

I see. 🙃
