@loopylin

Rallascant, you fuzzy snitch. You’re the opposite of a lucky rabbit’s foot.

I do appreciate your sass, but this is remarkably unhelpful.

@stellybean

This is such a fascinating character concept!

For names, I usually decide what letters “fit” the person, then look at names from the cultures I feel are aesthetically/culturally similar to my setting. I also like to look at name meanings. Sometimes I find a perfect name and sometimes I find inspiration for a made up name.

@whalekeeper Do ittt

@whalekeeper @rae @keilah-h this doesn’t directly affect your characters yet but im tagging you anyway

Rallascant

Rallascant had been shooed away from the vegetable garden by the local Iris many times, but this time he was sure he would get away with it. He sat among the green leaves, legs and rabbit ears tucked in to remain as unnoticeable as…[Read more]

@liberty

Praying!

@koshka

Yay! I was able to find a copy on Libby. Looking forward to this!

I have the desire to add a new little guy to this. A guy with fun frilly sleeves

@koshka @loopylin

Moth

Well done. Moth’s chest rose a little.

He tilted his head in a sort of shrug, eying his attempt. It looked like he had some skill – even though that was not true. His initial wish for the shot had been much humbler. “I must make offerings to serendipity in my sleep. How do I know where the arrowhead will fly?”

@liskaboyce

Yeah, the middle part of a story is always the weirdest part. Koshka and Quicksilver made good points. I think a huge part of it is coming up with obstacles, and then connecting them to lead to the midpoint.

Follow-up question. Is it possible that the structure isn’t the issue, but that it’s incredibly difficult to think of actual…[Read more]

Finishing stuff is hard. I think that’s easy to forget sometimes, but it’s no less true.

@koshka

I’ll see if I can borrow this through my library! I was planning to get into my local library this week anyway. Interlibrary loans should give me access to this.

I haven’t read Adorning the Dark, but I’ve heard of it. I’ve heard good things about it. It has a lovely title.

@grcr

In the space of a couple days, we’ve started making new accounts for people again, and this is the result. Lots of people. 😅

This is awesome! Congrats to Whaley and Koshka for becoming mods (I already congratulated Ellette on being the Queen of KP)

@stellybean

Haha! I love that! Robbin Hoodie!

Ooo yes! I love that you would want a fiction big brother. I have a list….. lol

@stellybean

Robin Hood. The original animated one with the fox. I could (and already do) watch is consistently and love it more every time. ❤️

The best robbin hood movie of all. Fight me. XD

@stellybean

Beth did well. No need for disappintment.

Tavar

A waterfall of words slipped from Bryce. Tavar leaned forward in his seat, eyes wide, mouth parted to catch any stray droplets of knowledge.

The vital organs and their shapes and significance to the body rushed past his imagination. This was not about the mind then. That fit the…[Read more]

Congratulations on finishing a draft! That’s a huge milestone. I declare you deserving of cheesecake (if you like cheesecake. Otherwise I’ll eat it myself,…[Read more]
