I vote fantasy as well, and no, it doesn’t have anything to do with the fact that my current read is fantasy too. 😛 (Ranger’s Apprentice yeaaaahhh!!)

(also if this post shows up twice, don’t blame me. Blame the angry computer gnomes in my laptop.)

@jenwriter17 *rises dramatically out of the floor* Count me in!

@leumeister  I would like to try one/both of your characters…but I have hardly any time to spare at the moment, as I am helping prepare for my sister’s graduation party this Saturday.  They do sound like awesome characters though and it may be next week before I get to them.  🙂

@dekreel Katie would rather be rescued, although she would be realy embarrassed and probably choose not to climb anything for a while anyway. But, it’s going to be essential to the plot for her to be able to climb, so hehe *turns to Katie* Sorry about that, dear.

@jenwriter17 Katie would choose the parachute. She would have no idea how to fly a…[Read more]

@rochellaine :’D Quite. Thank you very much; that was indeed in need of clearing up. I guess that’s what I get for not being around. 😛

@rochellaine whew! 😛 I will confess, you guys had me a little freaked out. I guess I missed the discussion where it all started. *fans self feverishly* That takes a load off my mind.

@northerner I haven’t been on either community as much as I would have liked. :'( When the hiatus was first announced it really hit me in the gut, since KP has been my rock for the past five years and one of the best things that ever happened to me.

At first, I was a little skeptical about the idea of a new site. Sure, Story Embers would be…[Read more]

Jenna would rather forget who she is, have a perfect life and a terrible past, be portrayed as an animated character, and be loved by all.

Would your character rather have to be rescued from a tree by firefighters, or never be able to climb something again? Jenna would rather be rescued…

@daughteroftheking  @leumeister  @jenwriter17  @ariella-newheart

@ariella-newheart Katie would rather be loved, Brant would rather be feared, Jasper would rather be loved, and Ogden would rather just continue his anonymous existence. Not being known is kind of the point of moving into the woods and becoming a grumpy hermit. 😛

Would your character rather face their greatest fear or have their worst secret told?

@warrenluther04  Welcome back!! Yeah, I’ll accept you back. AS LONG AS YOU STAY LOYAL! 😉

I think The Kingdom of Pen and the… what do you call that place… what, Embria? Emberland? Um… 😛 Anyway, I think the two should be separate, but still associated with each other. Like frenemies. Maybe. I don’t know.

I like the network of islands idea!

@alia  Praying for your sister!

@seekjustice  @daughteroftheking  You guys are making my heart feel so warm right now!

I am so blessed to have found this wonderful place! Even as our numbers deteriorate, I’m so glad I have found a community like this. I can’t imagine where my life would be right now if I hadn’t started participating. Even if I’…[Read more]

Writing is an “alone-y” sort of thing. We sit in our caves, or corners, or hidey holes, and turn ideas into worlds and people. We may be surrounded by make-believe characters, but if an innocent bystander were to peek into our writing spaces, they would see a teenager on a laptop (or notebook. Or even phone, I won’t judge.). Just one teenager. But…[Read more]

@alia Coolio. So, who’s been ruling in the royal family’s place?

@gh24682468999 @dekreel I guess the excuse “I’m doing research” only gets us so far. XD

Piggybacking on what @daughteroftheking said:

You know you are a writer when you wish there was a way to test if a knife or sword is actually stained red after someone stabs somebody… without hurting someone.

@jenwriter17 I chose to use a pen name, simply because I don’t want my real name circulating around on the interweb. 🙂 I’ve never published anything, though. If I do, I will use my pen name. For now, I just use it on writerish websites like this one.

@ariel-ashira  *starts crying raspberry blood*

Wow. That was pretty inspiring.

@jenwriter17  I suppose it depends on how much you want to protect your identity. Personally, I use a pen name because my real name isn’t common in the USA, so it would be easy to search for on the internet, therefore, more prone to people nosing about my personal information.

But I don’t know how rare your name is. *grins*

That’s all I got. 🙂

You know you’re a writer when you go into the backyard to wave a stick around aggressively, pretending to fight wolves and whatnot. One of my characters fights with a staff. It’s RESERCH. I’m being PROFESSIONAL. Not just having way too much fun. RESERCH, I tell you.

@alia Well, why did she kidnap the princess in the first place? Was she the one who put the sleeping spell on the royal family?
