@whalekeeper AHHHH SHE BROKE THE SILENCE AND ACTUALLY TOLD ME SOMETHING ABOUT MY CHARACTERS

lol

so they technically shouldn’t be trying to kill each other. But they probably will fight a lot. XD

@freed_and_redeemed haha!

ok.

maybe they exist in the same universe as yours…..just in like kingdoms really far away that don’t concern themselves with this one’s mess lol

@ellette-giselle the story makes a lot of sense now that you explained that point.

But how exactly did the Airman boys and their dad avoid this? (btw is “Airman” a title or their actual last name? Couldn’t exactly tell lol, so I’m assuming it’s their surname) Where are they that they aren’t being searched every month, because no doubt the…[Read more]

@raxforgethat helps me too! Now I can select from a wider range of my animal charries.

@koshka @ellette-giselle

Marcel

Marcel watched Leo and Rory focus on their ear pieces. As they became more distracted, he sat upright. His shoulders spasmed erratically. “I can punch one more guy. No p-prob.”

@keilah-h

Heheheh 😈 Spoilers I guess, but the characters all end up in little groups, and Crosshair and Mundy are in the same group.

@ellette-giselle

Ooooooh okay, I gotcha. 👍 No familial ties, no relationships at all. That’s much more sterile and dystopian than I thought you were going tor. But this makes much more sense.

Do they have some way of suppressing hormones, like in The Giver?

@whalekeeper lolll that meme

still waiting to see who dies first out of my two. They’ve been arguing about it for months.

Weird thing to argue about, but that’s dragon snipers for you.

@whalekeeper

Lol, thanks!! 😊🤣
It for real looks like either me or my mom, it’s so weirrrddd!

@esther-c

And….. why does the reference pic for Esther actually look a little bit like me…? 😳🫢

Really? If the moodboard is any indication, I think you’re gorgeous, girl <3 🤣

@ellette-giselle

Okay, reproduction is allowed, but only through government selection.

Okay, check. Makes sense.

Yes, I do have that under control.

How does the government get rid of those desires?

Haha, this isn’t marriage at all. Marriage isn’t a promise to stay together, and it isn’t a government contract. Marriage is a holy and sacred coven…

@freed_and_redeemed

I love it!!!!

They all look so awesome!! Wolfgang’s pic looks like one of my charries actually!

And….. why does the reference pic for Esther actually look a little bit like me…? 😳🫢

@ellette-giselle

Okay, so you’re going for a more ambiguous setting with more brainwashing? I do love The Giver and Fahrenheit 451, I like the genre.

I feel like most of what you just said doesn’t really have much to do with the story………

…Well I said this:

 Because it doesn’t make much sense from the perspective of a government to deny heterosex…

@ellette-giselle

Okay great 😊 (If anyone is sensitive please skip reading.)

This is just a big brainstorm post, maybe it will be helpful.

Why would everyone give up as a group on heterosexuality? American culture overwhelmingly enjoys any depiction of male-female pleasure, it is an integral part of our culture. (It’s disgusting, but here we a…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

So I like the idea of a marriage themed dystopia, but I do have some questions because some of this doesn’t make sense and could be cleared up. Can I ask a few things?

@keilah-h

Cool, I listened to it while writing.

I’m still tinkering away at this! but casually. And I actually have to write future scenes before posting the next bit because of all the plot threads, deaths, etc etc etc.

Actually I haven’t seen any story use objectification as the protagonist’s flaw, that would be kind of cool. Lots of rough growth, but cool.

@ellette-giselle

Ohh *sneaks in* this is the marriage story right? If you post a section where the characters explain why marriage is banned versus discouraged, I’d like to read it. I liked the first scene you shared too.

Also I had to meme-ify this 😅

But no one’s perfect at the beginning of a book, it’s a good story idea to see someone grow…[Read more]

Okay cool

I just realized several people owe Marcel or want to say sorry for something. I tried to even it out with the demon fight, but I don’t think this is ever going to stop unless he stops doing things for other people. 😂

@loopylin

Hehehehe, repressed romantic emotions.

@rae @theshadow

Okay Shadow, I’m not going to move after this until you’re good to go. 🙂

Barnes

“Good,” she replied to Tenz.

Hugo began to stir. He stretched, and sat up, casually tracing the hearth with the tip of his foot. He reminded Barnes of a stray cat who used to haunt her front porch – grateful for the warmth, but undeniably exploiting…[Read more]
