Ari

The professor blinked once or twice and nodded regaly. “That is a question more suited to the philosophy masters, but you may be on to something. Science was once called the philosophy of nature.”

After another pause, the lecture recovered and staggered on. Ari hunched over his desk, elbows propped on the tabletop.…[Read more]

Awesome! It’s a wonderful little book. Hope you enjoy!

@elishavet-pidyon

Sounds like a good plan. I know it’s hard to find time to read during the semester. Let me know if there’s anything I can do to help. 😉

Interlibrary loans are some of the coolest things. It’s basically like a low-profile network of…[Read more]

Mothy…..0_0

Ari

The silence stretched thin. A boy three seats ahead elbowed his neighbor and glanced back at Moth with an amused smirk. Moth shrank a little further into himself.

Ari’s eyes went black. He locked gaze with the back of the boy’s head. Slowly, the boy turned to look. The color drained from his face.

@ellette-giselle

is this chef good or bad?

Hmmm…

Every time I start to like him, he gives me creeper feelings.

Good, good. Trust your feelings.

@whalekeeper

Just a note: in my head the kitchens are built kinda like a star, with specialized kitchens branching off from the main room where LeQoi can survey everyone’s work at much the same time, or go from kitchen to kitchen as he likes. And he will absolutely be checking in on Callum and teaching…just perhaps not is a perfectly normal…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

LeQoi

Fresh, sweet, and undeniably irresistible. The bread would do. A gracious flick of his fingers to the trembling kitchenmaid saw the basket of steaming challah whisked away back into the whir of luncheon preparation.

Now for another sampling. The master chef’s chocolate drop gaze landed on a boy standing six feet away. Ah y…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

GUYS. IT’S REMINGTON’S TWIN.

*Screaming intensifies*

You’ll be happy to know, Kavi, that the kitchen is enormous and filled with all the best foods. And lots of it.

The kitchens are also presided over by a questionable master chef named LeQoi. Which reminds me he hasn’t said much is some time…

First week of November! It’s time for our book discussion question, but first I want to check in with y’all.

How are things going? Any troubles finding the book or finding time to read? Any thoughts or rabbit trails?

*Thoughtful humming*

Here’s the question: What are two bits of this book that…

Absolutely! Introduce your character and toss him in! There’s several groups and single characters scattered around the school right now. You can either prick one to plop your character with, or find something who’s on their own.

If you’re a bit baffled with how this works, Whaley wrote a lovely explanation post about rope…[Read more]

@maiden_moonlight

Welcome to the Kingdom! I mostly write middle-grade fantasy and the random poem–besides living life as a full-time university student. I love history, languages, cultural studies, hand-crafting, and bread.

Oi, I love a good fairytale. How would you describe your writing in terms of aesthetics or colors?

I see you appear to be…[Read more]

@whalekeeper @loopylin

Either of y’all go right ahead.

@loopylin @whalekeeper

Ari

Ligjt streamed in through high arched windows. Dustmotes drifted in the scattered rays. Voices hummed and bubbled as students slid into seats. Perfectly climbable shelves lined the entire far wall–although the school would likely not agree with that assessment. Ari hovered just inside the door.

The teacher’s smile…[Read more]

@loopylin

Oh my word. Yes that’s a typo. Why do the ‘d’ and ‘f’ keys have to be next to each other?? XI

@beth-torres

Glad it gave you joy. I shall go fix it, thank you. You may resume maturity.

@loopylin @whalekeeper

I would like to point out to Ellis that Ari has not said he was going to class.

Ari

After another moment of hesitation, he finally managed to stepntowards the door. Perhaps walking with Moth would be enough. At the least, he knew where the chemistry classes were held. They wouldn’t be lost to the tangle of ordered…[Read more]

*Drowns in laughter*

I love them. Poor Lucien. I like that kid. And that is exactly what Ari sees.

@writingwren

First of all, you’ve been writing for two years and have worked on 6 drafts? That’s a lot of writing in not very much time, even if you didn’t finish or get far into some of those drafts. There’s a ton of ideas to work through and develop.

What you may be experiencing isn’t a lack of good Story. It might be a lack of understanding…[Read more]

Ari

Moth wilted a little. Ari looked away, but he could still feel the fairy boy’s petal-blue eyes. His skin prickled. He glanced at Ellis without expecting anything helpful from that quarter.

Bother.

A sigh chuffed out of his lungs.

“What type of science class am I going to?”

@whalekeeper

Those cats. Gracious.

They kinda fit too. XD

@loopylin @whalekeeper

I feel like if it weren’t for Moth, Ari and Ellis would probably not get along.

I feel this is true. Probably more than is good. XD

Ari

His eyes narrowed at Ellis’s back a moment, but the question seemed innocent enough.

“I was not unwilling.” It was nice, after all, to still be breathing. “But of course, no knowledge m…[Read more]
