@calidris btw I don’t sort socks either and I actually have a pair with owls on them. Well… I just moved out on my own so I won’t be sorting socks no more, hallelujah!! I used to dig through the pile until I had them all matched XD (there’s eight people in my family, hence the reason I could actually dig in the sock pile XD )

@calidris Aw that sucks because it’s a great app. But the lab that supports it is amazing as well and if you sign up (it’s free!) you can submit your sightings and observations as well as access their library and bird pictures and sound recordings and stuff! I use it a lot.

I know right?!!! birds are so unappreciated in forms other than roasted…[Read more]

@kathleenramm thanks!!

the idea for the fantasy one was a griffin keychain pendant and an idea that sprouted from my childhood world I invented when I was about 10.

The inspiration for the sci fi was… um… good question. XD wanting to try my hand in it and the character was based on my personality but obviously not my life lol.

Honestly……[Read more]

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin @akbaer

@calidris no waaaaaaay!!!! A fellow birdwatcher?!! I love birds!!! Have you heard of the Merlin Bird ID app? It’s so useful! what are your favorite birds?

sorry for the outburst of enthusiasm. XD

Well,  you can share some things you enjoy, so you’re off to a good start 😉

I like worldbuilding too!! I will see that art! Also, to tag people,…[Read more]

@anatra23 thank you! yes, that is very good advice! Thanks everyone!! 🙂 @keilah-h he is a shape-shifter of sorts, so he ‘sprouts’ wings when he’s stressed or angry or needs to

@zatara

Hey, sorry about the late welcome, but WELCOME anyway!  I’m Ella, I write dystopian/thriller/suspense/mystery/post-apocalyptic/YA novels.  I love myself a good mystery/thriller book on a rainy day with a cup of tea, if I’m in the mood.  If I’m not, I’m most likely in the gym or playing basketball or hanging with friends.  And writing is…[Read more]

update to the fanfic topic: I stopped writing the artemis fowl fanfic I had started a while ago. It was too cringy for me. BUT I did get the protagonist (or rather, the first idea of my protagonist) for my crime novel out of it!

@kathleenramm

Thanks!  Well, i always had the idea for Hope’s character in the back of my head, but watching the Will Smith movie, I Am Legend inspired me to expand the plot.  That movie, paired with Interstellar really sealed the bill for me. XD  I love complex plots, high stakes, and characters searching for family/romance, so this story is b…[Read more]

@kathleenramm This is actually the sequel of a sequel of a spinoff for my original idea for Thirteen Ways, ha… It started out with me wanting to make a world where I could escape to, and gradually I just added on, and on, and on… And now, thankfully, I’ve run out of ideas for it.

@abigail-m I read it and enjoyed it! @devastate-lasting totally summed it up well, and no I would’ve have the heart to get rid of any of them

@kathleenramm intriguing!!

My plot stake? in my fantasy it’s these:

Stake 1: If they fail the world is destroyed by giant dragons.

Stake 2. If they fail they die in painful ways and goblins take over what is left of said demolished world.

my sci-fi novel…

1: If they fail to keep away from the lab that screwed up their genetics and made them…[Read more]

@nanisnook ok sounds good!! Yes, I am indeed! There isn’t really a deadline for finishing it as of right now. Also, I would suggest just looking up the definition of beta reader because I’m terrible at explaining it XD

So @keilah-h @nanisnook just email roseoakauthor at gmail dot com and I will get you on there in a few days. Sorry for not…[Read more]

@keilah-h fun!! XD

@lydia-s thanks!! it was fun to do 😉

@elfwing

I would totally be interested in this! Are you still looking for people?

A couple warnings, I haven’t beta read anything before, so I don’t know how good I would be. Also I’m not sure how long it would take me.

@kathleenramm I’m gonna use the current arc of Thirteen Ways since the stakes are the clearest. Basic premise: they need to gather ingredients for a spell to vanquish a demon. If they don’t, then some friends and family are lost forever to the demon.

In order to collect the ingredients, they must defeat the guardians of some of the ingredients.…[Read more]

@akbaer

Tbh, i feel like every era was just plain bad. XD  Maybe i’d go back to the eighties and nineties to jam out and crowdsurf XDDD  Not a super intelligent answer, but that’s what I’d do:)
