@everyone

We can give everyone 2-3 weeks? Is that too long?? No less than 500 words and no more than 3,000 words.

@rae

Oh, yeah. I forgot about the 20% rule. That makes sense.

@rae

I’m going to be on vacation for the next week, so I’m not going to be doing this one.

@rae

Ok, I thought it was probably something like that.

@savannah_grace2009 posted our next prompt:

New Prompt: A person who keeps their emotions bottled up inside/won’t acknowledge their own pain to others.

Who would like to participate so we know? We don’t have a s…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009

Do you want us to post our entries in one week or do you have another plan?

I’m such a horse geek, I can’t even talk about elk without bringing in horse terms.

Hands is four inches.

Wither is the top of the horse’s shoulder.

When you measure a horse, you measure in hands to the wither.

And if you don’t know what tack is, it’s the saddle, bridle, et cetera. Basically accessories you put on your horse for riding.

@highscribeofaetherium

The 20% rule is a rule for equestrians about riding horses. A rider should only be about 20% the horses weight, including tack. Not all equestrians follow it, but there are many scientific tests showing that being even at just 23% your horse’s body weight can harm your horse, maybe even for life.

I’m so mean to my charries. I’ve got one who’s abused. One who became a bad guy through revenge and grief. One who hides his emotion. One who lost his entire family. One who was banished…the list goes on.

@jonas

There’s only been one prompt so far, and only RAE and Axiom participated.

Technically only Axiom participated. I missed the deadline.

@savannah_grace2009

Oh! I already have an idea!

@savannah_grace2009

Ooo!!!! Those look really good!! I like Sef’s!!

@rae

What’s the 20% rule?

And yes, I am a follower of the 20% rule.

@savannah_grace2009

Cuz think about it, I couldn’t go with regular elk since most likely that would break the 20% rule and therefore cause serious damage and discomfort to our poor elk. Also, riding a HUGE elk is much cooler!

@rae

I believe the extinct Irish elk was six foot at the shoulder or 18 hands at the withers. So yeah, draft horse size.

Oh…so they’re not regular elk. I forgot about that. Never mind! Yeah, they’re definitely Clydesdale size.

@highscribeofaetherium

It depends on the horse. Elk are probably Quarter Horse sized, but definitely not as big or heavy as a Clydesdale. For reference, Elk are between 700-1,200 lbs, where Clydesdales are about 1,700-2,200 lbs. They’re HUGE!!! Anyway, sorry, I need to quit talking about horses lol

Injuries are not gonna matter too much, since Kate can heal serious injuries nigh instantly (though a limited amount), and Katonia and Brian have a stone that  heals unlimitedly.

You’re lucky I’m not like Rae and won’t spam this chat with saddle pictures lol!

HEY!

@jonas

Oh yeah, I forgot about that.
