@glitter-ocelot Heh; nice. I have trouble with serials on the internet due to my terrible memory of character names, but since I (should) already remember most of these characters, I may dig into it one of these days before the release; we’ll see!

Also just got to say I’m a huge Hamilton fan. And since musicals are going on in this thread, I…[Read more]

Welcome to the site @glitter-ocelot! Homeschooled nerrrrrrrrrrrrds are my favorite. 😉 Also totally with you on the Oathbreaker release train! So ready for that to come out in November. Are you going through the Tor previews for the book as well?

The first one grabs me the most, but the rhythm is a bit off to me; what about ‘Darkened Ages’?

@bethanysinkyroses Great question. >.> Short answer is no. Long answer is we hope to release it sometime in the next several months, but right now a lot of my time at least has been eaten up by rolling out this new web design. Once we have that done and rolled out, figuring out a release date for this is close to the top of my list of things to do…

@dragon-snapper @salome01w4g Yes, my hope is that once we update everything, this issue will be resolved. Please let me know, though, if this is still a problem after we roll-out our new web design, and I’ll look into the matter.

Hey @theacornman; welcome to the site! Glad you found us. 🙂 That’s great that you’re a fantasy/sci-fi writer. Who are your favorite authors in the genre?

Hey @theacornman–welcome to the site! Glad you found us. 🙂 That’s great that you’re a fantasy/sci-fi writer. Who are your favorite authors in the genre?

@shannon It is. 😀 I’m actual super-excited for the day when we get to show it off to all of you!

@lightningmouse Unfortunately that right there is “fake news.” 😛 We’re testing this out on a two-year old backup of the site, and we’d been running a contest at that time.

@jane-maree Good eye. It’s the “Extra” theme, which is also made by Elegant Themes and utilizes Divi heavily. So yes.

Oh; sweet. Tell you what. I’ll email you the access info for the dev site we’re testing things out on if she (or you) have time and interest in looking through it and giving us your feedback. None of the security stuff is set up…[Read more]

@Lady-PenDragon Sounds neat. Kudos to trying to tackle two at once. xD Best of luck with them!

Welcome to the site @Lady-PenDragon! Glad to hear you’ve been a regular stalker. 😉 What’s the premise of your current work-in-progress?

Started working on our planned forum re-design tonight. A bunch of small upgrades that we’re going to keep under wraps for now. But to continue to boost excitement, I thought I’d mention that we’ll be able to display usernames under the display name on the forum. So you won’t need to hunt down their profile to tag them once we do the relaunch.

Thanks so much for sharing, @jane-maree and @bethanysinkyroses! If we continue to investigate this route, we’ll probably create a survey about it for our subscribers, but that’s really helpful to get as a starting point.

@josiahdeboer No–we’re going to make sure that doesn’t happen. All previously published forum and post content will remain (though some of our pages will be updated); they’ll just now be more elegant, faster, and mobile-accessible.

@jane-maree @bethanysinkyroses Not to take this conversation down a bit of a rabbit trail, but how often do you tend to meet with your mentors and what type of help do they tend to give you that you find most helpful?

The KP staff is currently in a lot of talks about what kind of new initiatives to consider taking on moving forward and providing…[Read more]

@perfectfifths I think that’s a great example here of a negative arc and how catharsis works in it! Because Wormwood doesn’t seem to get worse over the course of the story, it’s probably a combination of a flat and a negative arc for him.

@dragon-snapper Fantastic–sounds like a solid length right there with plenty of room to expand if needed. 🙂

@dragon-snapper YASSSS!!! 😀 Congrats! What’s the finished word count?
