@ingridrd I’m back…but if anyone comes along claiming I must return to the gold from whence I came, I don’t know what I’ll do. Especially is someone says:

that.
@salome01w4g *lights your sword* Go forth and conquer!

@ingridrd I can’t hug all of them!! I had like 120 stuffed animals…now I have guilt.

*sigh*

My only critique is that I though the dog was real so I was confused when you said the button nose was falling off…but otherwise it is really cute. 😀

@Ingridrd ooh, I’m getting strong velveteen rabbit/toy story vibes. 😀 I love the open end though; there’s still hope. 😉
And… believe it or not I really don’t have any criticism. It’s adorable. It made me feel guilty about my stuffed leopard that I haven’t talked to in ages. And it has that sweet, half-wistful tone of all stories told from the…[Read more]

@daeus

Even the king is against me.

@ingridrd *cough* Dragons are our friends.
*flies off so as not to be beaten*

@ingridrd I want that on my wall!

@perfectfifths Yeah. I knew it was in editing mode. I left it that way because sometimes people like to leave long comments at the end of a story. Suggesting mode is much better for editing in general though. You can switch it to suggesting mode whenever you like.

There. I made one!
The picture came from Pexels…the quote came from me.

@perfectfifths Yes, I think I sent you an email, but if you didn’t get it, you can access it here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/16ycjr6zOnxjAtIpSkMQ6SDkHKlg5iX3oMfA9aHpUD7I/edit?usp=sharing

@dekreel XD The arrival of Fall is indeed a glorious thing. 😀

@Daeus Righto.

@emily @catwing Welp…I unfortunately have to sign out now, but it would seem that you two are in different time zones than I. Read you all around. Enjoy your music…and living. 😛

@catwing @emily

@dekreel same. I know it’s a classic but I’ve never read it. 🙁

But as far as unique and compelling stories go… when you think about it, all stories are pretty much a mash-up of the same storylines being used over and over again. What makes them their own is what the author uses them to say. When a new voice picks up an old story, new depths…[Read more]

@emily Enya! (Watch, I’m not going to die this time) *lives* Isn’t it awesome! 😀

Well, I was listening to some videogame music, but it was scratchy, so I turned to my battle playlist.

@emily … Um… *shrugs* Maybe it comes from the term, “It’s to die for…” ? Which never made sense to me because if you died for it then you can’t have it. Okay, so I didn’t die. I pretended to die. I’m still alive!

@emily @catwing ‘Sup. 😀

I’m writing, and going to find way better music than this…because this…must stop.

It kinda disconnects me in a way. Even in third person narratives, you can reach this point where you feel like stuff in the story is happening right now. But dairy entries interrupt that for me. They serve as a constant reminder that the action I am reading about has happened already which is a bit distancing. Maybe it’s just me.

Nope. I’m w…[Read more]

*stares pensively at screen* I meant: “Even in PAST TENSE narratives…”
*mutters incoherently* Third person narratives…what in the world, Gracie…

@Daeus I likey. *double thumbs up*

As far as the diary debate-thingy…If it will just be a short story or a novella, I say keep the diary format. But as a reader, I would feel a little weird reading something in that format for a full-length novel. It kinda disconnects me in a way. Even in third person narratives, you can reach this point where…[Read more]
