freedom

It doesn’t help she’s taller than him by a few inches, so a long dress on her is even longer on him.

Tags are only sometimes working for me, so sorry about the late reply

So maybe we – the labyrinth people – helped you realize Gabriel should be an older brother? :-p

Oh yes. I do kinda doubt not giving him a little sibling now by blood, but it’d complicate things that I don’t want to complicate right now.

So I’m settling for him…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed
Hiiiii, Freedom. :] What have you been up to over these past few months?

Soldier

“Do you guys want a cheese stick?” Mel asked.

I stopped looking through a stack of paper on the table (it was a boring stack of paper anyway) and looked up. “Cheese stick?” I repeated. “Where?”

She gently pressed one into my palm. I bit it in half. Delicious. All too soon it was gone.

I shoved through the…[Read more]

Magic swords!

I have a story thought in a similar vein but never thought to have evil swords as well. Is there a visual distinction?

@koshka @whalekeeper @IYKYKArethEdition

KP is acting up, so I hope this goes through.

This is Koshka’s character Ari’s closest cousin (in age). They are quite alike in some ways, and in others it would be harder to be more unlike. I’m not sure they ever meet in cannon, but it would be hilarious if they did.

Arien Avelorion. The paragon of…[Read more]

Mel

The kitchen was small, with vinyl flooring and fake marble countertops. It was connected to the living room by a large doorway. In the living room was a couch, an armchair, a bookshelf, and a tv. Toys and comic books were scattered around on the carpet. Some were forced into the living room as the group crowded…[Read more]

Moth

“Yes, I do.”

Ellis was happy with that. The two boys jogged back to the academy, past trimmed hedges and trees, and back to the more open area where the gymnasium was.

The gymnasium sat behind the academy, so there was a bit of distance between the two buildings. Even though it was separate from the main building and much sma…[Read more]

Ellis

Ellis perked up again.

“Let’s go then! You’re not annoying. And if you were, I probably wouldn’t say. Do you like fencing?”

He might find Lois in the gymnasium.

He will not. Lois would have to be dragged there XD

@loopylin

Moth

“I am just looking for something to do with someone. This is a fun little mystery, but I would rather be with someone than go on an adventure by myself.”

Moth picked up the stick Ellis had dropped, which was a fine stick worth stealing. He twisted it idly like a baton. “I’ll follow you until you tell me I’m annoying.”
He might…[Read more]

Ellis

Ellis hesitated. He was used to ominous feelings and unsolved mysteries. The novelty faded quickly for him. Exploring with Moth sounded fun, but…

“I was going to go to the gymnasium. Practice some fencing.” It was something he had been looking forward to. He dropped his branch back on the ground and gave Moth a somew…[Read more]

@rae

KP no longer tags me, so I just have to think of checking.

I LOVE THAT IDEA!!! You could make that scene SO COOL!

@power

I love those kinds of characters and have several.

@whalekeeper not me trying to figure out whether or not my characters would recognize the name “Colorado” because the Spanish language and the name of the river (although it’s largely localized to one state/planet instead of multiple) both exist in their universe

in the end I decided not to bring it up lol

@whalekeeper

But I know a changeling story with a different, fun premise. It’s called The Oddmire: Changeling and it’s about a pair of twins.

I have had that same premise idea for a while now and I am simultaneously disappointed that someone beat me to it, and very happy that a story like that exists and is published. I shall check it out.

@rae

Did that leave you with more questions or answer some?

That answers enough questions. Although I guess I have one more. Is all this worldbuilding and character stuff new? I’m curious to know how the novella is coming along, what with this recent disclosing of information.

Yeah, it’s cool how many different ways the…[Read more]

Lucille

Lucy started, looking from Mel to the door. It had changed without the rest of them noticing. The stains of mud on the door made it look as if it belonged outside, pulled from a backyard or a porch.

Food sounded good. Lucy’s heart felt tired, in a good way, but that meant her body was tired too. She was a l…[Read more]
