@R-J-Wordsmith first off, I love your tag. And yes! The Screwtape Letters are awesome. As are TCoMC, and Narnia, and homeschooling, and tons of siblings, and more stories than you know what to do with… *grins* Welcome to KP. *hands you superhero cloak* You may need this around here; we’re a bit prone to saving the world. 😉

@Ethryndal ooh, I like it. Thanks. 🙂

@Hope niiiice. And technically your prompt can have anything at all in it so long as it includes the topic… so a magical cell phone that can turn into a sword isn’t too far fetched, if you wanna go that route. 😀

@Kate-Flournoy Cellphones, is it? Not something exciting like a sword? *scowls* Ah well.

You get a voicemail on your phone. Someone is pleading for help and you can hear your own voice yelling in the background. When you check the time stamp, you see it is dated five years in the future.

@Daeus yes. *chokes again* I see.

@Daeus *chokes* Well that escalated quickly. :’D

@winter-rose nope, not a problem. And I like that one a lot.
Soooo… let’s say the new topic is cell phones, shall we? If any of you still have any brilliant train (or otherwise completely unrelated 😉 ) ideas feel free to share, of course. It just helps with focus if we have a topic.

@Jenali ooh, I love those too! Very nice work everyone.

lol! Those are hilarious @GracieGirl. They may indeed prove a bit too long, but I’ll try them, and regardless they’re hilarious. 😀

@Kayla-Joy that’s awesome! Thanks so much. 😀

@GracieGirl absolutely. Submit as many as you like. And I like that one. *wiggles eyebrows* Nice and mysterious. 😉

@Ingridrd no, that’s awesome. 😀

@Audrey-Caylin oooh, I like it! Lovely!

@Audry-Caylin oooh, I like it! Lovely!

Okay guys, let’s try something different here. We’ll pick a topic/category and each of us will try to think of something different for that one category, and when we’re out of ideas someone can suggest a new category/topic.

First topic— trains.

@Daeus and @Kate-flournoy you are in danger of becoming unoffensive due to a lack of opposition. Cliches are so much fun. 😀 I like twisting their endings, not actually using a complete cliched scene or idea, but starting with cliches and then making it turn into something else is a very useful technique.

@aratrea Ah, right. Sorry.

His experiment in living is that man’s value consists in his name, and his name consists of his actions. Everything he does, he does with his name into mind. In his mind, if he fails, then he loses his name, and if he loses his name, he loses his worth.

The focusing question is: Of what does a man’s worth consist? T…[Read more]

@Daeus *concurs and joins you in the ranks of offensive un-authors*

This is a positive arc for a character in a fantasy novel of mine.

Characteristic moment: Shows protagonist discriminated against because he doesn’t have a family name. He is struggling to gain a name through his own actions.

Mash 1: Being told he has a name. He feels he didn’t earn it and doesn’t deserve it. He hasn’t proved his worth and m…[Read more]

If there was a Greek word for “post-apocalyptic gray concrete oppressive state in need of a rebellion and some kissing”, I’m not aware of it.

@Northerner *chokes* Ouch. Preach it. 😛
Now now, though. No story is defined solely by its genre. I agree with your lovely sarcasm, but let us not be narrow-minded here. *clears throat softly* I happe…[Read more]
