@ashlyvye Never fear, I read the Cursed Child the day it came out in the US, and I was very happy with how it played out (pun intended).

Don’t get me wrong–I like Gryffindor, they’re just a bit…irritating. I don’t like how the books are catered to their house, but that might just be the Slytherin in me talking…

I like how you used the…[Read more]

@christianna-hellwig A word about tags–to let someone know you’ve responded to their post, simply put @ and then their username, like I did with your tag above. You can find a persons’ tag just below their username. My username, for example, is Elizabeth, but my tag is @that_writer_girl_99. Make sense?

@rochellaine,  7 books???!!!???

Wow.

I’m gonna go eat ice cream and cry in my closet now.

And maybe do some writing. 😉

I just finished a term and a bit’s worth of science, history and math in one week, so writing hasn’t been remotely feasible. I’ll be back to it a bit more now, but I start more schoolwork on Monday, so…

yeah.

@dragon-snapper, ha ha! I don’t imagine they would be very easy! 😛

Don’t worry about getting my tag wrong. Have you seen how many typos and wrong tags a do?? :O

@warrenluther04 Well, this seems like a pretty sturdy story idea. I like the idea of using this mythology with elves and stuff. (Or are the alfs?) 😛 Anyway, it’s like what @that_writer_Girl_99 said, that the character will be pretty important. How the character ties into that sort of plot. Maybe Loki and Laufey’s motivation. What they want.

If…[Read more]

@clairec After all these years I got your tag wrong? Ugh. See above.

You know you’re a KaPeeFer when you try to sneaky-sneak other KaPeeFers into your books. (Yes, I have a dragon named Snapper. And catwings. And a Ranger named Addie.)

@aislinn-mollisong XD I’ve been cameo-ed.

@ariella-newheart I’m terribly late. *facepalm*

I’m the dragon that wrote the Legend of King Daeus that @claire-c and @dekreel were talking about. 😛

(And Claire-c, as for the Aberdeen question, I’ll see if I can, but these are not the easiest stories to write. XD)

So… Ariella, what do you like to write?

@aedesia Welcome to Kingdom Pen! 😀

@dekreel Nope. Never been sued. Though I should be. *grins* @rochellaine *looks at you* *promptly melts a chair*

@seekjustice Hey, no problem. I do have like 5 other people reading it. XD But yeah, the general stuff is just as important as the normal stuff, so if you are willing to do that, it would be amazing!

@daeus XD Yep. I am extremely determined. 😛

@ashlyvye That last one is definitely me haha! I’m lucky the college I’ll be going to has a creative writing major.

@daeus, sorry I didn’t see this till now. You probably already have enough answers, but I’ll do it anyway. 😉

Absolutely, but, and this ties in with the second question, as I believe someone maybe already mentioned, writing is a secondary career path for me at present; a hobby, if you will. I love it very much, would like to impact culture and…[Read more]

@daeus Absolutely. One of my goals is to become published. And I am vigorously trying to get contracted before college.

Well then yeah, I’d say that describes how I feel about it. @daeus

That depends on what you mean by sold out…? @daeus

That’s the goal, yes. @daeus

@mnvalentine I completely agree with you! I love the Harry Potter series, and I think it has a lot of positive themes. I’ve no problems with the HP books, and simply mentioned them because @princessfoo had. Really great thoughts there!

The Twilight books, however, are completely empty of any positive themes. I mentioned that they’re for…[Read more]

@daeus Never.

XD Just kidding. Of course I do!

You’re right. When I think culture, I think of it on a grander scale, and with an emphasis on the mental/spiritual ways books challenge us to think and act. On that note, you’re right–the Twilight and Hunger Games books present a number of smaller issues that were only escalated due to their popularity. @princessfoo
