@hallie-jean

thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!!

@keilah-h

ah ok! I admit I’m not into the half man half animal kind… but that sounds cool!!

if you think of a real animal you don’t really see in stories… what  comes to mind?

@hallie-jean Ah, it’s been a long time since I’ve read Percy Jackson… It is by that new Riordan press, though, right? The one with all the mythology YA retellings?

To be honest, if I were to redo mythology, I’d do Chinese mythology, because that’s my personal favorite, heh.

@hallie-jean Ah, no, actually! That sounds very fun, though! XD

@hallie-jean

haha!!

thanks!

@hallie-jean

lol Yes mwahaha And one of my MCs is scared of heights… bad thing when you can turn into a dragon and are expected to fly… XD I am so cruel. Tbh I really don’t like grasshoppers but they’d made good giant rides lolol and if you take into account the good lawnmowers they are…

Here’s another picture I took for inspiration:

@devastating-lasting

yess they would!!

yeah, horse isn’t too bad apparently, but duck is cheaper lol

haha yeah geese are terrible fowl. XD and turkeys are scary but pretty, and they’d make good distractions XD

@elfwing Mm yes ducks would make such cute spies. My guards would definitely let down their guard for them. If I had guards.

And yes, eat the chickens. Better than eating the horse, heheh.

And geese are absolutely terrifying they would definitely make very good watchdogs. Or turkeys. Forget peacocks turkeys would do more than just be decoration.

@hallie-jean

ohhh I did the bubbly gal falling in love with the tall dark n handsome guy toooooo

It is my FAVORITE love trope in my writingggg!!! the journey of learning to better understand each other is so fun and developing their characters can be a total hoot and also give some tears. I would say it’s my top favorite, but I have not used it…[Read more]

@devastating-lasting

So true!!!!

I love ducks!!! they’re good pets and would make very innocent looking spies, and also information carriers if you trained them…

Chickens!!! yessss. They’d make good traveling companions! push comes to shove eat the chikcen… muahahaha  They’re also good at catching mosquitoes and other annoying bugs!! so…[Read more]

@elfwing How about…chickens? There seems to be an underwhelming amount of chickens in fantasy except in cooking.

And ducks. And geese.

@power

These are incredible!  Have you thought about published some poems on the KP blog?  I did it once, with the poem The Journal.  You should totally do it!!

Also, welcome to KP!  Feel free to join any topics that you want.  Do you only write poetry or do you write fiction/nonfiction too?

@hallie-jean

oooo great point!!!

*gasps * Ladybugs! Perfect! You gave me an idea!

and GIANT grasshoppers! For my dragon people!!! They get on their grasshopper and it jumps and flings them on the air and they get a jumpstart flight!!

thank you! You gave me ideas!!

Moths would be cool too… I mean Gandalf used one…

ohhh what if the…[Read more]

@alia I’m going to be sprinting all day, so I may or may not be on here. Have fun writing!

@joy-caroline

Ugh, I totally get what you’re talking about!  Sometimes  daydream about my other books while writing a blah one, and I’m like “why am I even writing this??”

So I’d say go for it.  If you got problems, face ’em head-on.  That way, you’ll be able to get over the problem more quickly.  And as for your idea, I’m loving it!!!  I’m per…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

ooo my friend loves those critters!! Good choice, good choice! That must be so fun! Do they talk? O.O

what did you name it?

yeah… that is a great idea when I need some critters! Thanks!

i have an albino deer and elephants and a ferret and a cottontail rabbit in mine, and the ferret is named Lokee  XD

@kathleenramm Secret identities —- your works sound lowkey like Durarara!, which has quite a bit of that around the climax.

Hmm…for me I find myself pulling more light novel tropes, usually, such as getting hit by a truck, white curtains blowing in a classroom, fireworks festivals, etc…. I watch too much anime…

Um…I use “the quest” a…[Read more]

@joy-caroline That sounds awesome! I’m all for parallels! Sounds like it would be hard to pull off but if you could do it, that’d be really good!

@joy-caroline

wow I would say YES but I really like adding a  traumatized person to my stories and then tying in their story with the plot!

I would say as long as you make sure to keep it tied into the plot, do it. Like maybe they just miss each other or something…

anyways yes!

@hallie-jean

yesss! That’s great! 😂 love it!

@joy-caroline

Good point… I like zebras too! That’s a good idea! 😃

@daisy-torres

cool! Haha sounds perfect for unsuspecting mischief… and a talking one at that!

my dad had a pet ferret at one point named Loki 😂 it was a cheeky critter; it loved to hide under the couch and then when peo…[Read more]
