Remington sounds fun. I am probably too tired to be doing this but here goes lol.

Wilhelm

“I…” He swallowed back whatever words were forming on his tongue. The stranger was an impressive figure, cheerful and domineering. His eyes almost glowed in their intense suavety. Wilhelm squared his shoulders. “Then what should I say?…[Read more]

@loopylin

Tis ok! Life can be like that sometimes.

Reúven

“Safety procedures? Like drills?” He paused. “There have been some fire drills, I think.”

He almost went on to say that he always assumed those fell on days he was absent, but that was far too much information. It was always better to keep things simple. He kept the rest of his…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Ah! Yes, poor thing.

I can bring him into the food area if I need to. I think he’s very lost at the moment.

@godlyfantasy12

Elishavet- yup! It’s the first destined book! And it’s just like the first draft I’ve ever truly “finished” like there are still scenes needing to be added and stuff, but it’s mostly cohesive

Yayyyyyyy! *happy dances* 🎉 🎵 This is so exciting. I’ve wanted these books written ever since you shared their mood oards. XD

If you need br…[Read more]

1) I think this is from the Bible? I’m guessing the book of Ezekiel. It sounds Minor Prophety.

2) I have no idea.

3) This could be several people. Augh. I know the Captain from Tin-Tin says it, but as for anything more specific, I’m at a loss. It could also be Padra from the Mistmantle Chronicles.

4) Les Miserables?

5) It’s from Henry…[Read more]

1) “in the midst of the stones of fire you walked.”

2) “It will be rather a bore, I expect. Love and marriage, and all that sort of thing, is rather a necessary nuisance in its way.”

3) “Blistering barnacles!”

4) “Be off with you, or I’ll blow up the barricade!”

5) “Soldier, why wear’st thou that glove in thy cap?”

6) If you tell stories, you…[Read more]

Portals: When My Story Ate Me. The serial story I’ve semi-periodically shared on here. I should work on HoA(Viktor’s story), but I have zero motivation for that one. They’re just sitting in a friend’s shop at the moment waiting for their parents to find them. Portals is a more manageable size, so little bites first.

@whalekeeper

I love collecting ideas from novels published between from the 1910s-50s. Mostly 40s and 50s. I keep notes from them in a notebook and I’ve done this for months; it’s a lot of fun. I often collect dialogue because there’s something very identifiable about fictional dialogue from that time.

Oh, I like this idea. That is epic. I’ve n…[Read more]

Stopping at :59. I got 442 words in an hour. Not wonderful, not terrible. I think I like where this section is going.

UFO (unfinished object) SPRINT

I’m working on Portals and/or contract stuff. It’s late here, so I won’t be on for long but thought I’d give myself some accountability.

*sigh*

I just opened a WIP doc, misread a name, and thought a sibling had written some sort of fabulous crossover fanfiction in my WIP doc. I was so happy.

This poor WIP. I preferred a non-existent orphaned fin-fic to it. What a terrible brain-parent.

On other news, Tolkien keeps stealing my character names.

Welp, I know some of them.

2) Edmund from Prince Caspian

6) One of the Feechiefolk from The Secret of the Swamp King

9) Morley the cooper from Sir Kendrick and the Castle of Bel Lione

10) Screwtape from The Screwtape Letters

@koshka

Unfortunately, I helped you pick these quotes so I can’t play this round. I will stalk this place until the next round. 😁

@godlyfantasy12

Heeyyyyyyy! So good to see you!

Congratulations on completing your draft! *Throws confetti* That is absolutely amazing! ✨🎉👏🏻 Have you celebrated ? Rewarded yourself?

Some questions… Is it the Destina project or a different one? I don’t want to asume lol. Also, second draft, is it an edited version or a second book? Just…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Lol. Latin is fascinating.

Collecting slang sounds brilliant and fun. *Takes recommendation* I’ve played with coloquialisms a little, but in a useful way. I shall have to try that.

What’s your favorite word biome so far?

@grcr

*peers through the glitter*

Wow. Grammar is interesting, but I haven’t done work in it. Your conlags…[Read more]

@loopylin

True enough.

Oh this is interesting.

Reúven

Now that was a harder question. He scrunched his eyebrows together as he worked it out.

“Yeah. Accidents happen. I guess any school is going to have those. It’s gotten much better, though, under the current administration. The bully gang was broken up, so most accidents are, well,…[Read more]

@loopylin

Sorry it’s so short.

Reúven

“Um…” He paused to calculate. “Three years.”

@loopylin

Yay!

Reúven

He had no idea who this lady was. She looked like a student, and near his class year at that. She had to be new.

But if she was new, how did she get on the school newspaper committee?

He looked back to the game as if he was distracted by something over there. Her face blurred in the corner of his vision. She…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Oh fun! Extinct languages in stories are some of my favorite. Is it commonly understood by the characters, or is it like Latin and has a niche group that uses it?
