@foreverme  I have not joined the Aetherlight yet, but I have been actively stalking the forums X)

@ariella-newheart  I second @clairec. You HAVE to read LOKD! It is awesome. And there’s a sequel on page 37!

Um, I guess you could also count one of your own characters?  Not in a story you read, but a story you wrote. :p

But then analyzing the fact that they were created by you could end up confusing…who do you really love?  Yourself, since you created the character?

@dekreel So, @sam-kowal mentioning historical science fiction by Jules Verne reminded me that one of the most well-known science fiction series ever is the Tom Swift series by Edward Stratemeyer.  The first series was written in the early 1900s, and was a huge success, but most of the inventions Tom made have now been made in real life, such as t…[Read more]

Thanks for the history, @kaya-young! Some of it made me laugh. It was extremely helpful!

I keep flip-flopping between loving Ike to pieces, and wanting to smack him upside the head with his own book.

Oh goodness, yes that is so true!!! XD XD XD @dekreel @aislinn-mollisong Ike is awesome. XD *hits him with a book* *says she’s sorry for all the other terrible things that happen to him* *another book*

@dekreel Definitely read the Robot Wars by Sigmund Brouwer!  They are the best!!

In the series’ original publishing under the title Mars Diaries (which is the version we have) they were set in 2040.  When I first read them it kind of freaked me out that all that might happen so soon. 😀  I don’t know if they changed the time to a later time now…[Read more]

Oh, Oh, Oh @seekjustice !  I searched through your documents and found where you did mention your love interest’s nose…

Quillon wrinkled his nose and it suddenly struck me that he looked sort of cute when he did that.

Now, what do you think of that?  Though it isn’t a complete description, I think you followed their advice well enough! :…[Read more]

@seekjustice  My pleasure! It was great 😀

G’Bye!

@seekjustice  The end of MANY worlds as we know it!! *scandalized*

Well maybe at least Daniel is. I could see him wanting to be the Kapeefer King. This advice… it’s like a foreshadowing… Okay maybe not XD

@seekjustice  It will be the end of the Kingdom of Pen as we know it!

*blinks* Hey… do you think Josiah and Daniel are secretly revolting against the king…?

@seekjustice  Oh yeah, Greek noses are cool 🙂

I’ll bet if everyone followed Josiah and Daniel’s advice, the most well-written novels would be a page long XD

@rochellaine no I haven’t heard of that movie series. are you not planning to watch them ’cause of bad content?

yeah, I figured with some of the scary technology coming out now(ahem, self-driving cars!!!!), that this is a possibility. 😜

@christi-eaton sorry, I haven’t either

@dekreel I can’t think of any sci-fi books at the moment (unless dytopian is considered sci-fi. if it is, I’d recommend the Out of Time series by Nadine Brandes). I’ll definitely let you know if I think of any…

@seekjustice  No, actually I mean all the stories that we would write if we took the DeGraafs’ advice.

Hm. What’s your preferred nose shape? I like small, pointed noses 🙂

@seekjustice  Yeah… at this point we seriously need a subgenre for that! That’s a good idea.

I wonder if they’ll all come out the same way… What with all the limitations XD

@seekjustice  Did you now. Well how dare you! The characters’ noses are the most significant, most thematic element in the entire novel! Tisk tisk… 😉

I wonder if this is the first time a Kapeefer has actually followed their advice…

@seekjustice  *cowers in shame*

Wait. Woah wait a second…

*goes and watches How to Write the Worse Climax Ever*

HAHAA! I’m doing it right! Josiah and Daniel said not to put the climaxes in at all! I’m nailing it!!! XD

@seekjustice  I love that name!

Is it a climax? I actually don’t know if there is a climax in this story. *slinks back* Oh dear, oh dear…

@seekjustice  Oh cool!! What’s it called?

I’m doing okay. I got out of a little writer’s block in the KPA, which is great. I’ve written over four hundred words tonight. 😀  And I’m having a lot of fun! This is an exciting part…
