Oh I would love to! The character game is really fun. But I have to go. 🙁
Haha yes. Your story may be inspired by Les Mis but you’re not going for that. 😛 Though I’m think there may at least be some really, really minor characters (some that don’t even have names?) that even Hugo overlooked?
I’ll be going off now.…[Read more]

Sorry don’t feel bad. I do the same for my characters. 😛
Unless the story is simple or you are actively going for a minimal cast of characters, I don’t think it is possible to make them all interesting and significant.

I always end up feeling sorry for such characters. Because God has plans for each and every person in this world. But for our own characters, we often really don’t due to our limitations. 😛
Hello. Not working on anything. Just on the way to work. 😛

Poor premier. His purpose is to simply die to signal that it is time for the revolution. 😛

Can’t join you in writing, unfortunately. But I can chat for a bit.
What part are you tackling? 🙂

I’m going through some seriously hard stuff right now. Prayers would be appreciated.
Also, I’m going on hiatus from internet communities in general for an indefinite amount of time. Half because I’m grounded, and half because, well, I think I need it. I’ll miss you guys!! Beast out. <3 <3

@f5a8c3e92 Is it a coincidence that you call yourself “The Impossible Girl”, too? XD
Heheh, I’m in an MBTI nerd phase myself. I’m not obsessed with it, but I’ve been asking everyone around me which type they are and adding some of them to a list. XD And I like guessing people’s types, too.

@f5a8c3e92 Heyyy, great to see you again!! I faintly remember you. 😉 We could always use more company.
Hold on. . . Isn’t Clara Oswald called “The Impossible Girl”? *smirks with amusement* That’s just great. XD Who is your favorite Doctor, by the way?
Congrats on finishing school! I’m excited for you! 😀 😀

Yes, I think that will work. 😀
Haha… “speculations of American evangelists”? That is oddly specific. 😛
However, I do understand the mindset in the making these theories. I do believe that many of the political/social/technological/economic trends that are happening can be attributed to a giant conspiracy by the Devil. But my…[Read more]

Personally, I have no issue with the barcode thing because now I don’t think anyone can say with 100% certainty what exactly is and is not the Mark of the Beast that is being referred to in Revelation. I think there are two ways you can get around this issue:
#1: The Mark is supposed to be, if I remember correctly, either on the…[Read more]

I see. 😀
Reposting because my first post strangely disappeared…
I looked at @rochellaine‘s comments and just have a couple of things to add:
#1: I agree that you have to decide what names Jean/Chessy use when they think of themselves and each other and change the names accordingly when writing in their POVs but I think you are…[Read more]

Haha thanks. Unfortunately, if I do pursue editing as a career, I would not be able to pick and choose what projects I want to read as freely as I do now (since editing work will become a matter of putting food on the table) and I don’t think I can do that since I am so easily bored and frustrated by many types of stories and…[Read more]

Haha should I consider a career change as an editor? 😛
You’ve been helping me with QOD as well (even if I don’t think there’s been much to discuss so far thanks to how tediously slow my writing is) so I’m glad to return the favour whenever I can.

valtmy replied to the topic Writers' Corner #22 in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 8 months ago
That sounds like a good idea.
I think you can have it such that this prologue depicts the second visit Jean makes to the store. So he first visits the store to check if there are available identities for him and Chessy to use and ‘reserves’ those identities (has to be a similar age, appearance has to be similar, father-daughter…[Read more]

valtmy replied to the topic Writers' Corner #22 in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 8 months ago
One solution I can suggest is that instead of a completely new identity, Jean buys an existing identity for himself and Chessy so there’s an existing record already in the system. Maybe there is a real John and Charlotte Whitehall or something but they are dead and their deaths were not reported so the government is not aware of it…[Read more]

valtmy replied to the topic Writers' Corner #22 in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 8 months ago
#4: I think my issue is that it’ll actually be really, really easy to find the new identity Jean is using unless literally every single government database storing identity information is compromised. Caderousse knows that Jean came here to get a new identity so she knows that a record change has been made. To identify the false…[Read more]

Hey, Kapeefers! I figure it’s about time I ask for a writing critique, so I’m going to go ahead and do that! I’ll give you a sample of a roleplay I’m doing for another community. There shouldn’t be too many confusing inside jokes and references and stuff so don’t worry. But please let me know if you’re confused anyway! It’s just over two pages…[Read more]
