Hey!  @aislinn-mollisong I’m working on my western, and chatting with @clairec about how – contrary to what most people here think – fantasy isn’t the only genre out there. 😀

What are you doing?

@clairec Okayyy, that sounds interesting.  I’m a real stickler for historical accuracy, but not so much historical events as culture.  I will freak out if someone wears a 1947 dress in 1943, or talks about an actress whose first movie was released six months later than the time in which the book was set, but if you want to add a few historical e…[Read more]

@clairec  Yes!  Everyone is so into fantasy now it seems all other genres are forgotten for young people!

I have read a little fantasy.  I liked the Chuck Black Kingdom  and Knights series okay a couple of years ago, and I love the Frank Peretti Cooper Kids series (which is only semi-fantasy).  Other than that, though I mostly read histori…[Read more]

@sam-kowal Definitely!

@sam-kowal “No dwarf wants to. . .” might be a good place to start the synopsis? I see what the others are saying. Though I will differ and say I really liked the last sentence. It doesn’t have a huge sense of foreboding to it, so if that’s what you want to go for, I’d change it. But I think it sounds like we’re getting ready to go on a fun…[Read more]

@dekreel  Yeah, I have a feeling I would be a sweet, well-meaning character who unintentionally ruins everyone’s plans because I would deal with things in a real-world way. 😀  That would be very annoying for fantasy believers, and could really mess up the cliched plot for them. *snickers*

I don’t know…if you act enough like a person I might f…[Read more]

@rochellaine Yes I agree! But what if they had the same goals, but different opinions on how to accomplish them? *Shrug* 🙂

And yeah im in the USA haha. Good good.
Having them get together for the end will make your ending more satisfying. *cackles* 😀

@rochellaine  Hmm…. *smirks*  I like that! It’s unique!

… Wait, so how do you feel about me? Please don’t make me disappear! *prepares to hide under table*

@dekreel Have you noticed how not-into fantasy I am?  I think if I was in a KPA I would probably be the person who instead of wanting to go on the quest would try to call the police.  Or if someone had a cute imaginary creature for a pet I would say something like “That’s not a real animal” and poof!  the creature would disappear because I di…[Read more]

@rochellaine  Absolutely! *whips out character notes* What’s your suggestion?

@sam-kowal Wow… I wish I had come up with this idea. Sounds great!

I like the unique voice of the synopsis, but the way it ends doesn’t leave me with much anticipation or dread or anything, just the feeling of “Oh, they’ll build exosuits and win the day.” It could use a bit more of a cliffhanger, I think.

@dekreel Oh good!  😀  May I make a suggestion?

@rochellaine  Okay I’m back, but only for about twenty more minutes XD

The KPA is actually going to be a whole series of holiday-themed stories. So if you aren’t in this one, you will undoubtedly be in another one. And don’t worry — I won’t make you a creature 😉

@dekreel Bye!  I’ll probably still be here for a while, so I might be here when you get back.

@rochellaine  Ahh, I gotta go! Sorry I couldn’t stay longer! I shall return later!

@dekreel *Slowly peeks out from under eyelashes* Am I going to be in the story?

I don’t really care one way or another if I’m in it, so don’t put me in if you weren’t planning to. 😀  I just want to make sure I’m not some weird creature, because I have noticed you are prone to doing that, and I don’t think I would like it… 🙂

@rochellaine  Exactly! And it’s working out!

Cool! BTW I read what you had on the doc, and I really liked it!

@perfectfifths Yeah profiles are soo hard! This makes me want to practice those now…  *ponders*

@dekreel A vague idea is better than nothing!  😀

I’m working on my western again.  Kind of a little outlining, which I don’t normally do fully, but I’m a little confused as to how the story is going to work out, so I’m trying to give myself at least a plot to work with…

@notawriter That should be the new KaPeeFer motto: “Just a tag away!” 😀

Okay, conflicting goals:  I think I could do different, but parallel goals, but not conflicting goals.  I think if they had conflicting goals there is no reason they should even consider being together.  If I met a guy who was a missionary or a doctor I would immediately th…[Read more]
