Hi!! Good to see you’re still alive. XP

You’re joining the C. S. Lewis writing Fellowship too? Lovely. I have no clue what it’s going to be like. Just hoping it’ll work out around life, ya know. As I’m currently writing this while sitting in the corner of the Math and Science building waiting for class to start…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

Wow, you’ve put a ton of work into that. it looks like a real working website.

It honestly looks a lot like the Parf Edhellen website, just a lot easier to navigate (at least for a snooper like me who doesn’t have an account for ParfEd and just cares about the dictionary). I like it.

As much as I hope KP gets fixed, I do so…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Am making a list of possible titles…

@loopylin

@loopylin

Good, good. Both excellent choices.

*Sniffs importantly*

@loopylin

XD

Why not give everyone titles? Although…we’d have to think of them first.

But we’re writers. That shouldn’t be a problem.

@whalekeeper

It does have quite the ring to it. Hmm.

Still the First and Second KP Archivists sounds pretty cool too.

@loopylin

Ah. But the idea of the Archivist slipping around in a long dark robs with a pocket full of colorful potions and smelling salts is spectacular…although maybe it should be a swirly neon dress and twinkle-toe shoes. That should wake some things up.

If not the Archivist, I do believe Whaley could carry said title.

(although I don’t…[Read more]

Oh my word. This thing hath been revived?!?

I am astounded. I didn’t know a topic could flatline for this long and come back.

*Happily sits back to sip tea and watch the chaos*

While I don’t know about Slack, I have shared my email, and am on a couple other types of messaging platforms.

@linus-smallprint

That looks like a functional possibility. *Nods to self* Yes, if the dear old Kingdom of Pen collapses, we won’t be left behind buried in the rubble.

*Strokes stone archway affectionately*

Also, having looked at the YWW (YDubs) page set up, I really appreciate the simplicity of KP’s page function. Topics on YWW are continuous…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Awesome.

Probably good advice. I would, but it’s already in his backstory, and I didn’t want to go back and change it now.

And I mostly just lost it when I realized that this, being a modern real life setting, I couldn’t go sort through or make up the customs and laws myself, like I could for nearly any of my other WIPs.…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Ah, thank you! This is a lot of helpful information.

Okay, so the kid is in Canada at the time (Quebec) as that’s the family residence. I have found a bit of legal stuff for Canada by now, but haven’t started looking into the American side. This is so beautifully concise (which legal documents are definitely not).

This is…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

Okay, thanks though. Neither do I.

*Uncertain laughter*

@stephie

Hmmm, not a bad idea. I’ll look into that.

@ellette-giselle

Alrighty. =)

Also not certain exactly how an ongoing murder investigation would pan out/effect things, when there’s no clear suspect or solid evidence besides the dad’s work (Parents were…[Read more]

And technically he’s from Quebec, do some stuff is in French. Which is certainly interesting, just not helpful. O_o

@whalekeeper

That would be lovely. I might just have to recruit you, if I can find stuff.

I did find something called the Youth Act, but while it had a lot of instructions for foster organizations, it didn’t seem to have any for a kid who has no parents left.

@whalekeeper

Any call for assistance is greatly appreciated. I have no clue who to tag.

(Totally didn’t freak out when I realized that since this book is technically set in the real world it has to at least look believable, and I can’t just write the law myself. Fantasy author problems)

@theducktator

Well, it wasn’t Google’s expertise either.…[Read more]

@grcr

Oh my word. Those are hilarious.

No, I can’t say I’ve wondered that particular question, but I do get that type of thing. Like wondering what you call an albino bluebird.

To the fear question:

Zlati is flight (his more natural response) and then fight (the response he’s leaned to survive his brother)

Vulka…well, you kind of have to feel fear to have a response. He doesn’t like that emotion, so he laughs till it changes to something else. Then it’s fight, because it’s always fight, even when there is nothing, or…[Read more]
