@Joy Made me cry too. 😛
Yay! I’m sure you’ll like it.
Glad you’ve got the tags down. What Daeus said and what I said were two different methods but they’ll both show you the tag. It’s just a little more convenient to mouse over than to go to a new page, but whatever works. 😀

And a note on the tags—some of them have dashes in between words. Like mine—instead of @Emma Flournoy, it’s @Emma-Flournoy. @ Emma is the tag of another user. 😀 If you mouse over someone’s profile pic you can see what their tag is in the bottom left corner of the computer screen. The tag isn’t always the same as the user name.
It’s kinda…[Read more]

@joy Not quite. Click the blue text below a person’s profile picture (it’s their name). On that new page, right next to their profile picture, is their tag.

@Joy I know, he’s amazing! Not at all bad as Thorin either. XD Have you seen LotR and The Hobbit?
Ah yes, I haven’t seen Poldark or Downton Abbey but my parents love them. 😀

Yep, Kate is the sister right above me. I’m third in a family of 11 kids. Homeschooled of course. 😀 And I’m not actually a writer but I sorta hang around in the same…[Read more]

@allison-grace It’s possible you might want to change some things. I can’t say for sure.

I’ll just give some general thoughts on allegory. The main point of allegory is to get us to view something we already know about with a fresh mind. Because of this, your allegory shouldn’t be immediately obvious or predictable. This doesn’t mean that we…[Read more]

And the moral to THAT is, if your character gets punched very hard, he will suffer at least some recurring effects.

Aloha @joy! Me and my assistant, Aberdeen the Authorosaurus, greet you! I’m an INFJ too! Have you ever read An Old Fashioned Girl by Louisa May Alcott? What are your favorite sweets? Do you like to bake?

@joy Yep, this is a great place for that type of thing.

@Allison-Grace hey! Welcome to KP. 🙂
While I agree with every point made in that video, I don’t believe that just because a story has a few (or even all, necessarily) of those ‘cliche’ elements that it’s a bad allegory.
What do I mean by that?
Well, the problem with cliches is that so often they’re written just ‘because that’s the way things are…[Read more]

@Koryn-Koch Welcome welcome welcome! I second Kate, you should definitely read Les Mis. It’s a little slow in places and incredibly long, but it really is worth it. Don’t try to read an abridged version either. 😉 And A Tale of Two Cities is one of my favorites too.

Do you know your MBTI type? Are you…an ENTP?

Hey again @Joy! Which period drama is your favorite? Have you seen or read North and South?

I’m an INFP, btw. 😉

*hugs you because you not only knew your MBTI type but assumed we would all understand what you were talking about as well* I love you already. 😛

What’s your favorite genre, @joy?

Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet, @joy!

You’re the second person to join the forum because they found us through Pinterest. I guess that social media stuff works. 😛

Do you have a book you’re working on at the moment?

@anne-of-lothlorien I can only say hello, goodbye, and MacDonalds….

@That_Writer_Girl_99 sorry I missed you. 🙁 Keep tagging me… eventually I’ll be here at the same time. 😛

@koryn-koch Welcome to your bestistest place on the internet. Is your name pronounced Core-in? It sounds nice and crunchy. 😀

If you do get a chance, A Tale of Two Cities is my second favorite book. The Count of Monte Cristo is the first.

@koryn-Koch Howdy! Me and my assistant, Aberdeen the Authorosaurus, give you a hearty handshake!

@that_writer_girl_99 My species is even rarer. I’m not right-handed. I’m not left-handed. I’m a combination of right and left-handed!
