I love stories where good characters die. It’s so refreshing after all this impossible happily ever after on earth for everyone we might have liked plus some.

😳😳😳😳

You love stories where good characters DIE???

Ok, I see what you’re getting at. Every story doesn’t need to be a happy ever after, but it shouldn’t be depress…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Anyway. I need to go do some school but I found the old forum where you posted parts of the first book, so I’ll be catching up on that later.

@ellette-giselle

Exactly!! Jk. Kind of. I think we need Adrian/Julian by themselves. Unless that’s not realistic for what they would let a prisoner do… idk.

I know! Poor Julian. And now he thinks his brother is going to die..(which he CAN’T!)

why? what’s stopping me?

I WILL! 😤 Anyway, you already killed off Aaron. Don’t do this to your readers.…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Nope. Nothing. One reaction to that scene.

Yes, I am getting attached to Adrian! He is so sweet to Joseph! And I am not satisfied with the confrontation. They need another scene. *plops down stubbornly* I really love brother dynamics … 😅

Anyway. You CANNOT kill Adrian too. 😖

@ellette-giselle

Ellette, if you kill off Adrian too… 😭😤

@the_lost-journal

Of course! Don’t feel ashamed to ask for prayer. No one’s life is perfect and we all have stuff going on.

@the_lost-journal I’ll be praying!!

@whalekeeper In my mind, I see it as:

Protagonist–The main character or character whose arc we’re following. The POV character in a first-person story.

Hero–Subtype of protagonist. Usually someone with a sense of good and evil, a person with moral standards they won’t break unless in an extreme situation, a person worth emulating at least by…[Read more]

Discussion question. What is the difference between a protagonist and a hero? What qualities do you like to see in a protagonist, and do you prefer them to be a ‘hero’ or nay?

I’mma throwing this out there because I like reading people’s responses. 🙂

@ellette-giselle

Yes, the defeating the prophesy junk is stupid unless there is a very valid reason. For instance, I had a character in a book who was cursed by the gods of his people because of a prophesy, but when he came to Christ he was able to flip that on it’s head and say, “you know what, I was cursed. But so are all of you. We are all cur…

@rae yeah I can see that.

idk about misunderstood but tragic definitely.

@freed_and_redeemed ugh you’re making me sad now

like in Freedom’s Fire you see him as mostly heartless and cruel, but in all the other books he is more humanized–he has a brother, he has a family, he has reasons for why he did what he did. Not that they were good reasons, mind you, but it means that it upsets you that he went down the path of…[Read more]

@loopylin

I give you the stamp of approval. 🏅 But you already know that, since rubberhose is my favorite.

@rae

If you ever finish yours, I’d still like to see it! I now it’s too late for you to enter, but I’m very curious.

Honestly I think it revealed too much about one of my characters. And as you know, I am quite skittish to post such things. XD

Congrats, this topic rose in popularity again! I’m glad everyone is having fun! And this whole family…[Read more]

Aaaand I shall cross my arms and back away from this, because I have roleplayed enough already.

Marcel — Elderstrand (w/Group 1)

Without waiting for the group to disappear over the rooftops, Marcel ran at the ironwalker he had previously maimed.

His opponent horizontally sliced its broadsword. Marcel leapt onto the hilt and quickly stuck his hand into the elbow joint. As…[Read more]

well also you can’t really talk about church density NOW as opposed to in the past….y’know?

pretty much about the entire country is really skewed when it comes to that these days….

@calyhuge whoa he was your ancestor? As much as you might dislike him, you gotta admit that’s cool.

@power @ellette-giselle lollll this conversation has me just sitting here on the sidelines watching, I would be eating popcorn but I’m not a huge fan of popcorn, unless it’s popcorn chicken so maybe that’s what I’m eating.

@rae thank you!!

• glad I wasn’t disqualified lol
• confusion in writing is what I’m good at for some reason XD XD
• honestly though, I can see why you think this reads like a chunk of a larger story rather than a short story, cause it kinda is. I wrote it for practice and to maybe one day turn it into a larger storyline, cause that’s how I craft…
