Meaning? Is America taken over by another country and that country is the one making the laws?

@whalekeeper

It’s sort of mirroring a Soviet era takeover.

@ellette-giselle

I get that. I was actually saying I don’t see how that’s a viable strategy for a country right after a world war and civil war.

This is the thing I said that I’m most concerned about:

Because you just said family is what the men believe is worth fighting for, and if this is still America and they’re ravaged this badly, w…

@whalekeeper

Oh sorry. You said you couldn’t see america banning family, and I’m saying they just declared that children belong to the government, not families. They are already laying the blueprints for doing it. Just not as dramatic as my book.

@ellette-giselle

actually, there is a bill that got passed by america allowing homosexual couples to have children

I’m not sure what this has to do with my questions. *Mind-scattered confusion* Am I just not understanding the link between this and what I asked?

@whalekeeper

actually, there is a bill that got passed by america allowing homosexual couples to have children and in the bill they said that the reason they are allowed to have children is because children belong to the government, not to families. Now, nothing has built off of that bill, but it’s a perfect springboard.

@ellette-giselle

Wait, is this still the American government enacting everything or is this another country controlling it? Because you just said family is what the men believe is worth fighting for, and if this is still America and they’re ravaged this badly, wouldn’t they want people to have a fighting motive? Taking family away just makes…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

There’s an old quote that I love that was said by a man once. He said, “Give me a wife to fight for and children to protect, and I’ll conquer the world with my bare hands.”

This is also an America after the devastation of WWIII plus a Civil War to boot, which completely wiped out half the country and just about destroyed the half…[Read more]

@keilah-h

I know right?!?!?!?!?

@koshka

We’ll see.

That’s the fun of not knowing how your own story will turn out in the end, I suppose. You can’t plan everything. (One side of me wishes it were possible, though.)

@ellette-giselle

Without a family to fight and provide for, men loose their purpose. (It was actually a strategy developed by communist Russia though it was never fully established)

That’s really interesting. I’ll have to look into it. Sometimes I hear about a government control strategy I didn’t know about previously and sometimes it’s like “o…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

They don’t marriage. People can live together, but no covenant or commitment. It started out as a war against the church, but then they realized that it is easier to control the people. Without a family to fight and provide for, men loose their purpose. (It was actually a strategy developed by communist Russia though it was never…[Read more]

@koshka

Delightfully whimsical-sounding! I shall look at what you sent me. It’s been a log time since I read the perspective of an unrelatable narrator.

What kind of prophecy is it?

Actually I should just start reading instead of asking you. But you can answer if the answer isn’t a big spoiler and doesn’t show up in what you sent me.

@ellette-giselle

In a country where true family is forbidden and marriage is a crime

Not to entirely derail the KP title drama, but I was just thinking about your blurb. I may have asked this question when you first talked about this but I don’t remember 😅 How does this work? Why is marriage a crime?

I feel like this would be an interesting…[Read more]

But no matter. It works now heehee

Oh me goodness guys…. My email hasn’t been working, so I didn’t see the messages from when KP was down 😖😖 I finally got it to work but still ughhhh

@elishavet-pidyon

right-o, though you may have to wait for Monday.

@loopylin

btw, it was very fun reading those emails from you while the website was down. Would you want to take the title of Official KP News Reporter/ Messenger Bird Caretaker? (Since you have all the emails lol)

awww! I just saw this!! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
I am an optimistic conspiracy theorist which means I am never taken off guard by p…[Read more]

@koshka

I always have a reason. I dare you to find a character I killed without reason. *British sniff*

@koshka

you should. Leo is going to desert and come join me because I will write his story. So there.

The only difference was I thought it would be much funnier if it was a collage kid. And yes, I guess the prophesy and the fearie were not supposed to be in the same book to begin with. But still…….

Call me what you want. I don’t care.…[Read more]
