*starts frantically digging through playlists*

@whalekeeper

Maybe we can make another playlist with wordless songs? I have a lot of those too.

I second this idea.

The second edition will also be much more distinct from LotR in its worldbuilding, just to make the situation a little less copywriter infringing.

Not that we plan to publish this, but if we ever did we would want to be legal…XD

@whalekeeper

We can fool people into thinking we’re super creative.

True, very true.

Been venom is often used to treat joint inflamation. Not sure exactly how it works, but my grandfather uses it and apparently it works? His is in a gell form he rubs on the achy joint.

What about gout? It’s caused by a buildup of uric acid crystals in the blood which get deposited in joints (hyperuricemia). The only real treatment of it is to try to reduce inflamation, change to a low uric acid diet (no red meats, ect.), and exercise.

But think of it like this: there is a substance in some food that forms crystals in a person’s…[Read more]

Sorely tempted to do another evil chef scene for absolutely no reason.

@whalekeeper

That meme feels way too relatable.

@ellette-giselle

hmmm, guess what?? I wake up at 5:00. I am never tired like this unless I’ve been sick. There is something wrong with you night people…..

I don’t argue that there isn’t something up with us, but at least we don’t go jumping out of bed before the sun.

Kinda random, but did you…[Read more]

@keilah-h

never mind that it doesn’t make BIBLICAL sense, nothing about that law even makes SCIENTIFIC sense.

As someone who is not getting used to hearing weird politically correct phraseology in Health textbooks, I would honestly like this on a T-shirt please.

@whalekeeper

Lol. He starts off sounding reliable. But he happens to believe a similar lie to the MC, so partway into the story you get to suddenly realize something doesn’t add up.

Or at least, that’s the plan. Who knows. I might make him the only person who knows the truth, but make that truth kinda hard to believe. We’ll see.

The prophesy…[Read more]

….

That’s not too bad a title, if you want it. The Resident Psychopath.

The difference my dear, is that I only kill characters if I have a good enough reason.

@ellette-giselle

*Squeaks*

Just felt bad leaving Leo where he was and returning to MG.

XD

I think madam, you may be dubbed The Lady Letter Opener, if others agree. You have both steel and letters in thy arsenal, so steel for letters in thy gift. *Curtsey*

Honestly call yourself what you want. I named myself the Nursery Rhymer, and I hardly…[Read more]

Cookie looking siblings,

Oops. Cookie loving. How did I get a typo in a pretyped, typo-less blurb…

@whalekeeper

Ma’am. Please introduce your story in more detail. I am currently working on a whimsy story of fairies, cozy homes, and evil people-eating rabbits. We have a few things in common and I would love to hear about your project.

Hmm, I do see similarities. Okay, here’s the blurb:

Cookie looking siblings, a begrudgingly helpful fairy, a…[Read more]

@power

I’m not in the competition, I just thought Ellette’s comment was funny.

@ellette-giselle

Eh, not in a good long time, and only when my brother was first starting out in it, so to speak. I definitely couldn’t hold my own against a real 14th century knight.

But I’m also learning a lot of medical stuff right now…so I could probably…[Read more]

@theducktator

Book recs?? *Squeals* okay, here’s a few of my favorite whimsy books.

A Place to Hang the Moon by Late Albus

The Ogress and the Orphans by Kelly Barnhill

East by Edith Pattou (this one does get kinda darkish, but as in, it’s a rewrite of a Norwegian fairytale where there are evil trolls who let freeze people to death)

@loopylin

Alrighty! XD And no time pressure. I need to focus on getting a first draft right now anyway, so I’m not asking for scheduled edits or anything. Lol.

@loopylin

I’m honestly a bit tired of dark stuff and stories that “deal with hard themes”. We need more silliness and whimsy. The real world is full of it. Maybe we should reflect it more in our writing.

A hundred and ten percent agree. We need more whimsy and light.

@loopylin

Ahhh, me too oOoOO… fairies…..

I was actually just thinking about getting someone to read over the first chapter and prologue and give me feedback. I know it’s got spots that sort of dragged, but I literally just finished that chapter a few minutes ago and so I didn’t want to look at it myself. (Actually trying a new writing habit…[Read more]

@loopylin

Hmm. Welp, I do write poetry, if it can be called that.

Also I have no idea what age group my stories are for when I’m writing them, but I definitely have a few that feel like children’s books so you are not alone :] I don’t have very many externally dark themes in my stories usually that would make it YA.

*Grateful hugs*

It does feel…[Read more]

Other possible titles for anyone who wants one of them. =D

The Optimist Thundercloud

The Local Amnesiac

The Chaos Gremlin

The Exhausted Chemist and or Mixer of Reality
