Emma Flournoy replied to the topic Kingdom Pen Revamp in the forum Start HERE 4 years, 11 months ago
Heyyy @Dekreel!I’m well, how are you? What kind of art are you into? I know you used to do some manga-style stuff… (I think…) What’s your favorite kind to do?
@Hannah-C Thanks for the enthusiasm! ;D HA, well I’ll admit, that does lend itself to one being legitimately allowed to tell people when they’re wrong. XD XD Heheh. :’D

Oh, wait, we haven’t been introduced, haven’t we? Apologies haha. . . I’m Dekreel. I’ve always wondered where you’ve been! It’s great to see you back! Sadly, at this point, most of the Kapeefers have vanished. Deserted this place for Story Embers. Tragic times.…[Read more]

I can’t tell you all how happy I am to be back here, even though KP isn’t running anymore.

Alia started the topic Cliches in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 3 months ago
There is this short story idea I have, but the main thing about it is that it is chock full of cliches. So if y’all could list every cliche you can think about, I would really appreciate it. (particularly narrator, protagonist, and villain cliches)(but other ones as well)

@alia I’d love to read this part of your book (are you wanting us to leave comments?), but sadly due to busy life and other beta jobs, I won’t be able to read the whole thing. 🙁

Northerner replied to the topic So what's next for the forums? in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 5 months ago
@Rochellaine, that’s good to hear. Like Kate, I was getting worried too.
And, @kate-flournoy, I was in a writing group before, on Ravelry (Hope might remember it), and a lot of the older writers left for another group, leaving just us less experienced ones, and so through all this I’ve been remembering the downturn that group took in terms of quality.

@dekreel Great! 😀 we’ll be closing the voting on Monday I think, then start reading/discussing 🙂 You don’t have to read really fast, we’ll be pretty much going at our own pace and sharing what we learned from the authors.

@northerner @kate-flournoy I love SE! A lot! It has pretty much the same mission as KP. I go over there all the time to haunt the forum and read the new articles which have been amazing. Still, it saddens me that KP is not what is used to be and so many people have left. My best friends though ( @alia @seekjustice @rochellaine @jenwriter17 esp…[Read more]

SeekJustice replied to the topic So what's next for the forums? in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 5 months ago
Personally, I decided to hang around here because I don’t have enough time for two forums (though I do have an account on SE) and because the people who I’ve become especially close to are still here (*cough* @alia @rochellaine @jenwriter17 @ariel-ashira ).

@kate-flournoy Haha, glad I could clear it up! 😛 Oh, and I noticed in your post you were saying you thought we were trying to “prove our loyalty to KP” by “competing with SE”. Actually we’re not at all trying to compete with SE. The whole thing is about the people who left without a second glance and have completely deserted KP for SE. Sev…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy I’m just popping in here to let you know that this whole “we don’t like SE” and “going to war” business is just a joke. It seems like you might be wondering if we’re serious, but we’re just having a play sort of like the KP fanfiction. Personally, the reason I’m not on SE is because I don’t have time, and it’s easier just to s…[Read more]

Jenna Terese started the topic Pen Names in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 6 months ago
Hi, all! As some of you may know, I’m planning on self-publishing a novella late summer. I’ve been figuring out self-publishing and marketing and I’ve begun rewriting the little beast, but one question arises; do I need a pen name? my parents want to kind of keep me protected, and though having my real name on my published book has been a dream of…[Read more]

good news for @kate-flournoy and Emma, we have decided that even if you ask for the answer to the questions it still means you’re loyal. However, you must answer four total

@emma-flournoy I understand how life happens. That’s a perfectly ligitimate reason. And if you don’t even have an SE account, I won’t question your loyalty. @kate-flournoy on the other hand…

ah, very well. @emma-flournoy this is an optional test for you

But…but doesn’t @Alia have a SE account? *disarming grin* I see nothing wrong with having both. But I have no idea whatsoever what the name of the best coffee shop/cafe in the Kingdom is, so you see how woeful my knowledge of currents events is.

@alia and if they prove themselves loyal, add them to the list of loyal kapeefers

Hmmm… no fear. I’m content to simply remain the KeePer I always will be at heart, even if I don’t make the list. 😉 You don’t forget places like this. Even if you move on.

I truly hope you two have a good excuse for your extended absence from Kingdom Pen. As the newly appointed Border Patrol Chief I must have you prove your loyalty to KP.

*chuckles* Dear me. I had no idea we were at war. XD If such is the case then I fear you’ll have to mark me down as a double agent and court martial me, as I do indeed have accounts on both KP and SE.
That said, I haven’t been around as much as I’d like on either, even since before SE came on the scene. You can blame life in general for that.…[Read more]-

*polite coughing* Hm. My dear Border Patrol Chief, I really have no good excuse other than life. *fatalistic shrug* I have not indeed moved to Story Embers, and don’t plan to (it’s even more writer-specific than here), but I was already far less active on KP even before that came up.

OH MY GOODNESS! @bluejay How have you been?? 😀
Hiiiii! Glad you’re back!! Maybe you should go re-introduce yourself on the forum and those who still frequent this place can meet you! 😀 I’m not much on here anymore unless I’m specificially in a conversation with someone, but I think there’s a dozen or so people who still hang out.
And no doubt they could use a doctor. ;P
@perfectfifths I’m well. I’ve missed being here with you guys. Life is about to get crazy, but I’m really hoping that I’ll be able to get writing well and truly back into my life.
@emma-flournoy That’s a good idea. It will give me a feel for who is around and introduce myself to the new people. Oh wait, I’m the new person. 🙂 LOL
@bluejay It’s good to see you back. I’m one of the few that haven’t gone over to Story Embers (I’m signed up for their newsletter and read their articles, but I don’t use the forums). So you’ve not been writing much lately?
@perfectfifths Yay!
No, not much. Still working on the Golden Conch. I’ve semi started the sequel to it. And I wrote a short story recently, but over the past two years, no not much. 🙁
@bluejay
Oh yes, I’ve been wondering about that. You left about the time I sent you my feedback/edits and I never heard from you about that. XD I’m sorry to hear that. I know I have times where I’d been writing less, but it’s usually been weeks at most and this year I’ve written fairly consistently. But we all go through dry spells.
Are you doing…[Read more]

Yes, that was right. I’d be happy to send it through in the near future so you can read all the changes. (I believe it will be quite different since you’ve read it.)
Yes, we do. But I’m hoping that it’s going to pour with rain now. 🙂 And end the drought.
No, I’m not doing that. I don’t want pressure when I write atm, just need…[Read more]

I’d love to. How do you want to send it? My email I think has changed since then, but I still have yours, assuming it hasn’t.
