@alia yeah the last one in WOTR was a bit weird. Yes, I have read the Knights of Arrethtrae as well. LOL!

@catwing Haha *spoiler alert* oops. Yes, you do need to read those books. They are awesome and you’ll love them.

@bluejay

I LOVE KEANNA! Gavinaugh’s books are my favorite from that series. The Wars of the Realm series is good but I was a little bit disappointed in the last book. It didn’t seem to flow as well. Have you read the Knights of Arrethrae series?

Perhaps we should find a carpenter and force…I mean ask for some new ones. 🙂

@alia Yes, it’s me.

@rochellaine No I don’t believe we have met. *shakes your hand warmly* I used to be here two years ago, but then life got in the way. I don’t know how much I’ll be able to jump on KP, but I’m back. (I’m starting a home business, so it’s got my focus a bit atm).

@alia Course i remember you. You’re even friends with me on here. 🙂 Oh dear. Yes, the fire does seem to have caused things to shut down around here. I wondered what had happened. Oh well, we shall have to do the best we can with charcoal desks and singled chairs.

@jenwriter Oh that’s hard. I think my favourite series is Wars of the Realm. But my favourite book is Kingdom’s Quest. I love Keanna. I made a movie once for his competitions and did a scene from her book. Here’s the link.

@bluejay

WHY DID NO ONE TAG ME THAT YOU’RE BACK?????

You probably don’t remember me because I only started being active on the forums about two months before you left us without a doctor (by the way, there was a lot of dragon fire after you left and no one to heal us), but welcome back!

@bluejay

is this BlueJay as in the resident doctor???

@rochellaine I’m Aussie and I play that alphabet car game. It’s great to help pass the time. Q is hard. We tend to use the word “quote” which is on electrical cubicles beside the road for things like traffic lights etc. I’m not sure exactly what they are used for, but they are there. X is the really hard one for me. (For a harder level, we also…[Read more]

@catwing yes, I use to be on here a lot. I miss how bubbly this place used to be too. It’s always a shame when things change, but life does go on.

@jenwriter17 Yay! Questions. Let’s see. I love books about Biggles. He’s a pilot during WWI & WWII. Great adventures and lots of suspense. As for my fav author, I love books by Chuck Black. My hobbies…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Bottle shops is the technical word, they are actually referred to as the “bottle-o” though.

I may need some clarification on the alphabet game.

😀 My brother and I were just discussing the difference between Aussie patriotism and US patriotism.

@dekreel Wow, thanks for such a warm welcome back. 🙂 Well, I have not been stolen away to this story embers website.

This is indeed the bestiestestest place ever!!!!!

@emma-flournoy Thank you!!!! *The doctor shall willing allow anyone who turns up to eat healthy ice cream.*

@valtmy

I just looked up the genre conventions of dystopian fiction and my novel includes all of them, though they are pretty severely underdeveloped 😀

@valtmy

But, technically speaking, its hardly a contemporary… 😛

@valtmy

I know, I seem to have worked myself into a tight genre spot. I can’t really think what I could market it as though. It doesn’t really fit anyway.

Oh well, I’ll see how it turns out after the third draft.

@valtmy

I know. But I’m so easily distracted! And yes, I know you want to read Wattle Fire 😀

oh, and I liked what you said about the worldbuilding. That actually makes a lot of sense, because I’m not entirely sure why I find the worldbuilding for SFI so difficult, since I’ve found the worldbuilding for Wattle Fire, which has a lot more intense…[Read more]

@valtmy @rochellaine

Maybe I just like letters? I write a lot in real life.

I’ll have to think over all the stuff you’ve said, but I did just want to point out that he does move from the Capital to his current house. He grew up in the Capital and that’s where his business was. He moved to his cool garden after the financial crisis.

#1

Yes, I’d thought about some of those consequences but I hadn’t actually thought about Sapphire’s mother. I really should do something with her…she kind of only existed to explain why Sapphire and Chessy had no mother. And I’ve been thinking about the details of the ID system, but that’s a conversation for another time.

#2 That’s true. I…[Read more]

@valtmy

For some reason I never got notified that you’d replied 😀

I know, I’m so easily distracted! (and yes, I’m waiting eagerly for the next part!)

most of them, a few pulled out, but I have several thousand (getting close to 15-20k) words  worth of feedback, so I have enough to go on.

I was considering talking to @rochellaine about it…[Read more]

@valtmy

I’ll be around for a bit 😀 I’m supposed to be drafting, but instead I’m pondering problems in Stars Fill Infinity.

@rochellaine

I might pass on this one. I’m currently just cleaning up a little.

@valtmy

Scrivener doesn’t have Australian spelling (Word does though) so I have to use Canadian spelling, but it doesn’t recognise all those unique Aussie words 😛
