so good to hear about your works!!

Elishavet- yup! It’s the first destined book! And it’s just like the first draft I’ve ever truly “finished” like there are still scenes needing to be added and stuff, but it’s mostly cohesive.…[Read more]

1) I think this is from the Bible? I’m guessing the book of Ezekiel. It sounds Minor Prophety.

2) I have no idea.

3) This could be several people. Augh. I know the Captain from Tin-Tin says it, but as for anything more specific, I’m at a loss. It could also be Padra from the Mistmantle Chronicles.

4) Les Miserables?

5) It’s from Henry…[Read more]

Oh yes, Portals! I should read more of it. The bit I read was delightful.

I probably should not be as comforted by that as I am.

Published authors have probably felt the same about their stuff. If that’s not comforting, I don’t know what is. 😛

And I spelled it differently, so there. XD

Problem solved

Portals: When My Story Ate Me. The serial story I’ve semi-periodically shared on here. I should work on HoA(Viktor’s story), but I have zero motivation for that one. They’re just sitting in a friend’s shop at the moment waiting for their parents to find them. Portals is a more manageable size, so little bites first.

I love collecting ideas from novels published between from the 1910s-50s. Mostly 40s and 50s. I keep notes from them in a notebook and I’ve done this for months; it’s a lot of fun. I often collect dialogue because there’s something very identifiable about fictional dialogue from that time.

Oh, I like this idea. That is epic. I’ve n…[Read more]

What project are you working on?

Good job, friend 👍

What’s your favorite word biome so far?

Watching to make sure you’re held accountable 👀

I’m working on Portals and/or contract stuff. It’s late here, so I won’t be on for long but thought I’d give myself some accountability.

I just opened a WIP doc, misread a name, and thought a sibling had written some sort of fabulous crossover fanfiction in my WIP doc. I was so happy.

This poor WIP. I preferred a non-existent orphaned fin-fic to it. What a terrible brain-parent.

On other news, Tolkien keeps stealing my character names.

Unfortunately, I helped you pick these quotes so I can’t play this round. I will stalk this place until the next round. 😁

Get ready for some random ideas

1. Pride and Prejudice (something tells me it’s from something else, but I might be right)

2. Sassy. Hmm. Is this the part in Fahrenheit 451 where Montag talks with Clarisse?

3. The only wolf story I can remember off the top of my head is The Wolf Wilder. This probably isn’t even a wolf-focused story,…[Read more]

Hey girl!! It’s good to see you around. :] And good to hear you’re doing well.

You finished it??

Congrats on hunkering down and finishing the draft!! That’s crazy… I can’t believe there’s a full version of your first book out there. You have to get on here when it’s done so I can read it.

You haven’t hurt November too much,…[Read more]

Heeyyyyyyy! So good to see you!

Congratulations on completing your draft! *Throws confetti* That is absolutely amazing! ✨🎉👏🏻 Have you celebrated ? Rewarded yourself?

Some questions… Is it the Destina project or a different one? I don’t want to asume lol. Also, second draft, is it an edited version or a second book? Just…[Read more]

And I’m getting a bit (ok a lot) overwhelmed by everything…Mostly, I…[Read more]

Lol. Latin is fascinating.

Collecting slang sounds brilliant and fun. *Takes recommendation* I’ve played with coloquialisms a little, but in a useful way. I shall have to try that.

What’s your favorite word biome so far?

@grcr

*peers through the glitter*

Wow. Grammar is interesting, but I haven’t done work in it. Your conlags…[Read more]

True enough.

Oh this is interesting.

Reúven

Now that was a harder question. He scrunched his eyebrows together as he worked it out.

“Yeah. Accidents happen. I guess any school is going to have those. It’s gotten much better, though, under the current administration. The bully gang was broken up, so most accidents are, well,…[Read more]

I didn’t set you up for much else

Wren

She scribbled this down.

“And in that time, have there been any accidents or emergencies on school campus that you witnessed or were a part of?”

Sorry it’s so short.

Reúven

“Um…” He paused to calculate. “Three years.”

Wren

This last comment got an eyebrow raise from Wren, but she pretended not to be bothered.

“Yes, of course. I won’t even ask your name.”

She uncapped her pen, and flipped to a fresh page in her notebook. She thought for a moment how much easier it would be if she had brought Veronica with her to record, but her helper also…[Read more]

Yay!

Reúven

He had no idea who this lady was. She looked like a student, and near his class year at that. She had to be new.

But if she was new, how did she get on the school newspaper committee?

He looked back to the game as if he was distracted by something over there. Her face blurred in the corner of his vision. She…[Read more]

Wren Tallow

Perched at the top of the bleachers carefully watching the whole room with a notepad in hand, sat a young lady. She wore the school uniform shirt with brown pants and a loose knitted sweater. Her wavy brown hair was cut too…[Read more]

I’ve created a couple that almost work, they just need larger lexicons. I always make the sentence structures and writing systems but never the words… XD I love thinking about phonology and grammar… I’ve got like five “conlangs” that are just interesting sou…[Read more]

If I need a different language, I usually use some messed up version of Latin. because I already know basic Latin. Or I just make up words that sound like the essence I want to convey.

I may not create other languages, BUT I love collecting words, phrases, and names in English that belong in the world. The slang and vocabulary…[Read more]

Aww, Mel is such a cute girlie

Lucille

Lucy smiled at Mel. “He is a runt, isn’t he? Still giant, though. Corvus colosseus. Scientifically sp-”

Runt pulled his beak out of her hands and began snapping at her hair. It was like being tickled with a pair of tongs.

“Hey!” Lucy burst into chuckles. She pulled away and the crow snapped…[Read more]

Oh fun! Extinct languages in stories are some of my favorite. Is it commonly understood by the characters, or is it like Latin and has a niche group that uses it?

Anyone else make up languages? If so, what methods do you use? If not, is there any language you just like the sound of? Do y’all prefer logical languages or something closer to linguistic chaos?

I’ve been working on one off and on the last few years. It’s nothing serious,…[Read more]

Reúven

Yes, this game was fun.

For some reason, that phrase echoed through his head as he lay on his back, staring at the tangle of arms and legs that had plowed into him. Two younger kids had tried to dodge into the same space. Unfortunately, it had been Reúven’s space. He was going to b…[Read more]

Reúven

Eibuavkin! His ball smacked soundly into an opposite teammate. Reúven ducked back from the line before someone could fire back. One of his own teammates passed him another ball. Reúven turned the thing in his hands, testing the give of the rubber while he picked out a target. This ball had…[Read more]

Lol ok.

Sounds good! I can understand that and sympathize. XD I’ll try to get in some POVs from Reúven so it’ll be ready when you are able. It’ll be fun.

I actually forgot about the dance. Lol.

honestly, that’s probably the best way to enjoy this rp at the moment XD

Also, I will try to have something written sometime this week, but I suddenly got hit with a bunch of adult responsibilities all at once recently so it might be a bit, sorry.

Mel

Mel seemed almost hesitant at first as she approached the crow, but as she reached out and touched its beak, a huge grin appeared on her face. She reached farther, petting the feathers on the crow’s neck and made her way to its shoulder, where she giggled and buried her head in its soft feathers. Somehow, the bird allowed this,…[Read more]

I think I’ll get into like the first like trap or trial? Should my charries run into yours at any point?

TINDER

She needed something to do with her hands. Something to build or take apart. As it was, the strange island had limited options. She settled for a handful of rocks, twigs and vines, sitting down to to…[Read more]

Thanks!

ah that makes sense. Sometimes daydreaming up scenes is so much easier than writing.

Yayy

Okay let’s hope this comes through. KP has ignored me all day.

Lucille

The scuffle left the small crow even scruffier than before. Feathers stuck out from his neck like a frilled collar. He kept turning his head to the left, making the best use of his single right eye.

As he busied himself with the nest, Lucy tried not to catch…[Read more]

@theducktator

Like Loopy said, not much has changed.

I’m looking forward to meeting her!

Reúven is not wanting any attention, so that could be suspicious to her. He also usually carries a “pocket knife” that’s beyond the allowed length. She could also see him in uniform and think he’s some hired guard, or otherwise think he’d be great to interview. Then when he refuses an interview,…[Read more]

I wrote this while half awake and questioning reality so I hope it’s somewhat good.

Mel

Scissors? Mel took her garden shears out of her pocket, confused. They were tiny.

But somehow, they did the trick. Though size was not on their side, they were three against two, and soon, three against one. Mel cheered as the second crow took…[Read more]

Are you in the mood to rp? We can add more to the girls’ path or we can reunite them with the main group. If you don’t feel up to it, that’s okay.

I’m actually really excited to write this character. :] She’s new. I can…[Read more]

That would work splendidly. XD *paused to decide if I’ll info dump on the RP-AU or how he is in canon…*

CANON In his story, his father Micha is the younger brother of one of the heads of the Eirtanian houses (Viktor’s dad). Micha married the daughter and heir of a different house, so Reúven is actually the intended Ra’ehan of the…[Read more]
