Fabulous. Ok, should I make a separate thread for this? It’s entirely about sharing art…

Basically, those in the circle would need to post new art when designated others posted. For starters, it can be Whaley, Ellette, and Myself if y’all want to participate…. Ellette and I need to post art since Whaley did just…[Read more]

*Sigh*

And yet, things were moving full-swing a few years ago. They were opening a publishing house of sorts.

I joined around 2021, several years after that Hiatus notification. I think the KP I saw a was a little different from what was then, but I wouldn’t say it was on Hiatus. (Plus, Story Embers has turned into a fabulous…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon

I’m tempted to suggest a challenge group where I have to draw and share if you draw and share… Thoughts?

Go for it. It could be a lot of fun.

@keilah-h @mineralizedwritings @elishavet-pidyon @ellette-giselle

Thanks 🙃

@loopylin

Okay, got it. Don’t hesitate to butt in whenever you want to.

Ralascant has simple, non lethal traps like nets and camouflaged pits and things all over the maze for people to fall into.

You know what should happen? @rae Gabriel should get stuck in one of these. 😁 Not right now, but at some point, just because I think it’d be funny. No…[Read more]

@theducktator

Yes! I’ve been Constance for years. Literally. You have no idea how many compliments I get every single year.

@whalekeeper Eh, don’t worry about it. They’re just ideas. Just do your own thing and I’ll pop in if I ever see a good opportunity :]

But one thing you guys can use if you ever get bored that I thought of is that Ralascant has simple, non lethal traps like nets and camouflaged pits and things all over the maze for people to fall into.

@theducktator

Do I want to post my last name here? Have I done that before? Uuumm, hm… My profile pic is a drawing of a cartoon girl with yellow hair and a red coat. It’s like a little cartoon headshot in a circular frame.

@keilah-h

Soldier missing every death path is exactly the kind of thing he does lol.

I feel like we all have that character who traipses through life missing every gunshot to the head. Oh, a joy to be them.

gonna have to do that tomorrow

*Bombastic side eye*

@rae

Indeed, I have returned. *Bows* I thought that one would amuse you. XD

@loopylin

@theducktator

I’m participating of course! Must get back into my first draft. I got 20k done in a month and slacked over Christmas break, which means this challenge is aptly situated to get me going again.

@theducktator
I am! I don’t know how active I’ll be though since this is the first week back to school since break. 😂

(Side note… I’m also joining YWW next week and I’m so excited!! I can’t remember if any active Keepers are currently on Ydubs tho)

I guess we never really noticed or cared until their absence started causing problems

@hybridlore
Yeah, I feel like it was still relatively active after that. I stalked the website before I was old enough to join (and that was 3 or 4 years ago) and it never looked “shut down” to me. New articles, new members, and Kathleen was still active until recently (I can’t even remember when that was lol 😭).

@esther-c

Whoa, weird!

@everyone

This article may give us some more context… https://kingdompen.org/kingdom-pen-goes-on-hiatus/

My browser recommended it to me when I searched up the website. What I don’t understand is why there were so many people able to join after this?? And we still had submissions occasionally for years, right?

@theducktator

I forgot about that! I’m probably going to be on vacation this week though (assuming my family doesn’t keep getting sick) so I don’t think I can!

@elishavet-pidyon

imitating styles is something I can do very well, so that is an option. I’ve never read either of those books, but a few illustrations is what I had in mind. I planned to do them like the pictures on retro sewing patterns and books from the time period.

@power

love it!!! 😂

@ellette-giselle

Great!

I think… It could go either way. I think something like Scout: Secret of the Swamp would be good.(Also Nancy Drew did the same thing) Occasional illustrations, half or full page, but never two pages. It would be fun to imitate a drawing style of the time.

@stephie @keilah-h @ellette-giselle

Thank you! 🩷

@whalekeeper

awww! So cute!
