    Gabriel Mai

    As he walked on, Gabriel was internally debating if it was safe for Lucy to have a hatchet or not. When she was carrying his knife, she was careful, but that was briefly. Now she was toting a dangerous little blade with her like a trinket. As they passed through the rooms, Gabriel took some leather and a sewing kit he…[Read more]

    @keilah-h

    none of him home monsters look humanoid, so he might not have a kill reaction, but you bet they will be getting death glares at least. He might be a little protective of Lucy…

  • Ruth replied to the topic Labyrinth rp in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 months ago

    @whalekeeper

    I’m good with anything that happens as long as Lucy stays with Gabriel. She’d be none too happy if they got separated

    Gabriel feels the same, though he might have a more violent reaction than her if they got separated. Violent of the “kill everything” type.

    @loopylin

    Not that your characters would know this, but, just clarifying, the labyrinth doesn’t have an owner. It’s sort of sentient on its own, kinda, and more like a force of nature than anything else.

    Yep! I know, but Gabriel most definitely would assume there’s a person behind this, not a bunch of crazy night owl writers lol…[Read more]

    @whalekeeper

    Okay, glad you’re alright.

    Also, I like the poem

    The Protector — Gabriel Mai

    As Lucy read the poem, the voices grew louder, hissing their jargon in his mind. He wanted to shout at them to stop, but kept his voice silent, not wishing to disturb Lucy.

    “That’s alright, thank you. You read much better than I.” Gabriel tried to keep h…[Read more]

    Make something up, i literally have as much plan as I did with the piano lol.

  • @whalekeeper @loopylin @theducktator

    On further thought, I’ll put in Viktor’s reaction. Not intending to mess up the role play turns. 🫣

    Viktor

    Trash talk. Fun… Viktor grinned back at Marcel.

    “Maybe. But if you manage that, we must deserve it.” He blinked in that completely not innocent way that would give away the sarcasm, mouth twitching…[Read more]

    “Quit talking,” Rory hissed. He reached the door, turned the handle with his free hand, and slipped through, closing the door behind him. “It’s not humiliating. It’s how wounded soldiers are carried.”

    He looks older in this one, more grown up than how I’ve remembered him. I like it.

    Gabriel Mai

    “Yes, I see…” Gabriel walked to a set of drawers in a corner, picking up a book from on top. He opened the pages, a pressed, dried flower falling out, rocking to the floor. Gabriel bent and picked it up, then showed it to Lucy. Purple petals, and a white and yellow center. He put it back in the book, then tried to read…[Read more]

    @ellette-giselle This is random, but I just had someone call Baron a babygirl.
    Which apparently in this context “refers to a man who is both attractive and charmingly sensitive (or brooding/self-possessed/quirky) as opposed to stereotypically macho.” (Merriam Webster)
    I just thought it was kinda funny, lol.

    • Okay…… 🤣
      That’s kind of funny, actually. Though I’d prob. not like it if my character was called that. Not very flattering name. 😂

      Btw, how is all that going? Did you find someone to publish it?

      • Ruth replied 8 months ago

        I was very confuzzled when they said that. I personally won’t be adding it to my vocabulary but I found it interesting.

        I still plan to go with Wild Horse Publishing, if you’ll still have me, however the current thing holding me back is money. I do not have enough saved, and I don’t have a job yet due to health issues.
        As soon as I get a job…[Read more]

        • Oh yes of course we will! Okay yeah, did I give you a price quote yet? Take your time. However long you need is fine.

          • Ruth replied 8 months ago

            No, you haven’t given me a price quote, but from what I’ve seen online, it can take up to $2000 to $4000 to publish. I was planning on saving $2000 but I only have $700 right now. Maybe a little more after winter because I do get snow money and I have a few relatives who always send Christmas money because they live too far away to see us, but at…[Read more]

            • Well, I can tell you right off the bat that it will not be that much to work with us. If you give me a page number then I can give you an estimated quote on what you need to have in hand before we can start.

    • Ruth replied 8 months ago

      @ellette-giselle
      The reply button had to go to bed apparently.
      My doc is currently sitting at 97 pages. I do plan to go through and edit though, since I’ve found some week spots, and also need to clean things up, but it’d be around 100 pages.
      I’m sorry if that’s too vague for you, that’s the best I can give until I go through again (I stepped back…[Read more]

      • lol
        yeah no worries. I have to do something really fast, but I’ll get back to you on that in a minute.

      • So, running that as a mockup, here are the estimated prices to print each book. 

        Paperback, black and white illustrations—
        $3.66 per book (not counting shipping, handling, and tax) 

        Hardcover with dust jacket, black and white illustrations—
        $10.14 per book (not counting shipping, handling, and tax) 

        Hardcover with printed case no dust jacket,…[Read more]

        • Ruth replied 8 months ago

          Woah, that was not the numbers I was expecting.
          So, I have the money I guess (the sad thing is it looks like I’ve had enough for months and didn’t know it).
          Thank you so much!
          About illustrations, I’ll probably do those myself to save on money and capture my vision.
          For an editor, I know that I need one of those lol so I’ll get into that.

          I…[Read more]

          • I would have been sad if you didn’t want to do the illustrations! It just wouldn’t have been the same! ☺️

            well, i think the time of stepping back will actually help you refine it, so maybe it’s a good thing! We have a few editors working for us, or if you know of someone else, feel free to chose them as well. Here are our editors, but don’t feel…[Read more]

    • loll this is so funny to me, I’m active in a lot of online fandoms so I hear this term all the time 😂 it’s usually used for well loved characters or people so please consider it highest compliments

    • Bro what—
      Oh I would hate it if someone called my characters that lol

      (Given that most of my charries are from fanfics, there’s a very high chance someone already has.)

      • Lol. I don’t like the term itself, but I find it flattering that someone used a term that meant that about my character because it shows affection.

    • That seems like a pretty broad category to be fair, lol, unless the character has to be obviously sweet/sensitive/vulnerable in order to qualify. But that’s still funny.

    Rory

    “Right.” He grabbed Dante’s arm and hauled it over his upper shoulder. He then hooked his arm around Dante’s leg and hiked the boy up onto his shoulders. Keeping his arm still hooked around Dante’s leg, he reached around and grabbed the boy’s wrist, freeing his other hand. He moved to pick up his gun, realized this wasn’t…[Read more]

    Rory 

    He raised an eyebrow. This was weirdly familiar to him, yet also totally strange…. “Sure,” he replied. “But aren’t you not supposed to walk after you have stitches? The skin needs time to heal a little or you’ll rep em open and then we’ll be right back where we started.”

  • @rae

    Plus Tenz has healing abilities, and that may be needed the way this rp is going.

    *British sniff.* I take offense.

    Thank you…do his earlobes look uneven to you?

    I know random, but it’s the typical critical eye after I can’t change anything.

  • @loopylin

    Yes! That would actually be really helpful. XD

    Oh, I know. Me too.
