@michelle I haven’t heard the full soundtrack, but I will listen to those songs now that you mention them! Mine are “Out There” and “Esmeralda,” I think!
That’s so cool! And wow, Angel is pretty old for a cat– that’s impressive. And that’s a neat story! Does it bring a little more meaning to Christmastime?
My sister and I are 3 years apart–…[Read more]

@gh24682468999 Nice to meet you! May I ask which fairytale(s) you’re retelling?
It’s one of those big crew-of-characters adventure stories! I’ve been working on it for a few months now.
All right, that makes sense. I guess it’s because I don’t technically fit under the official definition of being raised in a different country? It’s…[Read more]

@merieshenanigans I know right! it is such a great musical, I really like the opening song The Bells Of Notre Dame, and Rhythm of the Tambourine( especially the very beginning part of it) What are your favorite songs from it? Okay lets see if I can remember lol. I got princess I think three days after my fourteenth birthday (she was just a kitten…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting That would be really cool! I bet your Chinese is better than mine, haha. I want to learn other languages too, but not all from Asia. (Korean is really easy compared to English and Chinese, in my opinion, so if you’ve gotten this far I think you’d kill it.)
Do you watch any K-dramas?
Okay, lovely. Looks like I’m doomed, then!

@michelle *gasp* I love that musical! What’s your favorite song from it? I like listening to Hamilton, Les Mis, and Anastasia as well 😛
They sound adorable! How long have you had them?
I have one younger sister! And it’s a funny thing– I’ve been homeschooled only two years, last year and one grade in elementary school, but I’ve been going to…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting I love Beijing!
Ooh, you’re learning Japanese! I’ve always wanted to visit Japan… Have you been there? And do you know Chinese too?
Korea is a lovely place, with lots of good food, and fun things to do 🙂
And no, I don’t watch anime… Though I keep getting recs from friends who do.

@merieshenanigans *claps* You read that story too!! Not a lot of people have:) I love Celtic music, especially traditional💖
nostalgia is a powerful thing lol. I am planning on listening to more Christmas music.I am really obsessed with The Hunchback Of Notre Dame Broadway musical. Do you have a musical you favor?
The oldest cat is named Angel…[Read more]

@merieshenanigans So cool! Were you born is China? Or did you move there? *holds hands on heart and smiles* I too am a fan of Grimm fairytales. My favorites are The Youth Who Went Forth To learn What Fear Was, The Blue Light, Faithful John, and The Princess Who Had Never Laughed. I will for sure check out The Wild Swans:)
I like to make tasty…[Read more]

@kathleenramm I’m glad to be here!
I like to draw characters, too, either from other fandoms or my own! Most of my decent pieces are sketches of everyday things and animals and stuff like that, though. Do you draw characters from your novels or just draw new characters?
Nameless WIPs are just… just sad.

@devastate-lasting It’s nice to meet you too!
Yay, that’s so cool! That you’ve visited Shanghai AND that you write by hand. It’s a miracle mine hasn’t fallen off by now. I should learn to write with my left hand, too.
My family has moved around quite a bit… We spent 4 years in America before moving back to Beijing, and now we’re in Shanghai. I…[Read more]

@michelle Sometime, when I have pictures worthy of that!
Haha, it’s not that I don’t like coffee; I just don’t drink it. Actually, I don’t drink anything with caffeine on a regular basis, except the occasional bubble tea, because bubble tea is awesome.

Hi, Michelle!
I love Andersen’s the best, but I’m a big fan of Perrault and Grimm too. And stories from other places, too. My top favorites… I have too many! I’m an indecisive teenager! But “The Wild Swans” is definitely one of them. 🙂 What’s yours?
I used to live in Beijing (until like, two weeks ago), and it’s a really interesting mash of…[Read more]

@merieshenanigans You must show us some pictures of your country:)
That’s okay *throws coffee pot away* that’s perfectly fine:) How about tea and soda?

Merie Shen replied to the topic hey, hello, hi in the forum Start HERE 6 years, 2 months ago
Thank ye kindly! I just moved to Shanghai, so I couldn’t tell you very much xD
Yes, all my projects need nice, shiny titles before I can get working with a good conscience! xD I’m very particular about that.
What if I don’t like coffee…?

Michelle Black replied to the topic TOPIC OF THE WEEK – How do you think of story ideas? in the forum Start HERE 6 years, 3 months ago
@kathleenramm *coughs* Oh man that is hard lol. The simple answer would be I don’t know where I get my ideas. I find inspiration everywhere even when I am in my backyard and look through the slats in the fence and see what the neighbors backyards look like, I imagine that the inside looks like a castle on the beach. Or I imagine a town, but…[Read more]

Kathleen replied to the topic TOPIC OF THE WEEK – How do you think of story ideas? in the forum Start HERE 6 years, 3 months ago
I loved to make up worlds when I was younger as well. (Still do to this day actually).
But when I was little I would envision worlds with as much detail as possible as I fell asleep hoping that I would go there in my dreams. The world was almost always a fantasy world where I was a princess about to go on a perilous journey.…[Read more]

Sorry if that was too loud, I always get excited when someone new joins. XD
You like to draw as well! What kind of things do you like to draw? For me I love drawing characters from movies, dramas, tv shows, etc. but I also like to make up my own characters from time to…[Read more]
