Before I say anything else, I have to comment on how hilarious your “Alan’s favorite ice-cream” analysis is XDXD

ISTP. Do you do personality tests on your characters?

Yes. These types are not a be-all-end-all for me; they aren’t as important as say, the main internal struggles. But Meyers-Briggs captures some of the things I…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

Thank you for the suggestion of the trickster, but I kind of want to keep it as a curse if I go with the Sabtah origin story, trope or not. Why? Because of the irony. Sabtah was trying to escape curses and got cursed yet again. Perhaps some of what I was thinking is that Sabtah wanted to be separated from God, and while he could…

Hold on, let’s back up a bit. It’s great that you agree with most of what I have said, but I would like to know more about the Tritheist heresy you mentioned. Are you saying you do not believe The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit are not one God but three separate Gods? Another thing I know The Church of Jesus Christ of Lat…

@theducktator yep your ducks would fit into this category!

@linus-smallprint It depends on the story. I use them throughout several different story universes and their roles are different in each one. Often I use just one species for each story. I do have some set rules for each though:

• Ailurids often have clan-based societies, because I…

@linus-smallprint Personally, I think of that idea a lot too–the concept of Earth being the “first world” God created, and then He created other worlds, and filled those with creatures somehow.

Kinda like Narnia, where Aslan brought humans in from Earth to rule it in The Magician’s Nephew. 

Now here’s the question. Was Everwylde always i…[Read more]

Here’s my story. It’s going under major reevaluation right now though, so keep that in mind if you want to read it.

@linus-smallprint

This story is not about overcoming addiction, it is about overcoming sin (you are not the first to mistake it as this). While others do get addicted to magic, loving the power it gives them and how it makes solving their problems easy, my protagonist will never be addicted to magic. Warning, if you want to read my book someday,…

The church I attend is non-denominational, but I would say it is in a group of churches coming out of Grace Community Church that feels very close to becoming their own denomination considering it has things like its own hymnal (Hymns of Grace) and Psalter (Psalms of Grace). I’m not sure what it would be called though. Gracits o…

@linus-smallprint

He is on a quest for redemption, and fears being drawn back in. Towards the beginning, he tries to redeem himself by becoming a hero, but as the story goes on, he instead learns to trust in The Saviour to forgive him and to help him overcome temptations to magic. So it’s a story about redemption, forgiveness, sanctification, a…

@linus-smallprint You’re welcome! I liked that specific idea too.

You think we should have it in another topic? I’ll go ahead and make one….

@linus-smallprint

Yep! And of course I will still stress the fact that this doesn’t mean that we can sit and do nothing, for faith without works is not faith at all, James 2. God has indeed foreordained us with sacred roles to serve in this life, though personally I believe that it is our choice to live up to that or not, Matthew 22:14, as I’m…[Read more]

Heya people, bringing back this thread. 🙃

Can anyone think of times in fiction/whatever where police officers, government…[Read more]

KP deleted my post😭😭😭

Ok, here we go again.

Maybe, I do like nature as well though, so the country that this story takes place in has mountains to the west and praries to the east with forests in the middle. Trees are common in their cities. The capital, Pryde, has a river valley with paths that connect all the way through the…

@linus-smallprint I have IDEAS!!

Since the predominant race besides humans in most of my story universes is a dragonlike one, I like the idea (and the horse one is cool too, I’d use it)! I have two different dragon concepts for you, I’ll share them in a bit.

• For South or Central America, would a parrotlike race work? They could, perhaps, be…

@linus-smallprint

So what you are saying is that if one carries out Christ-like behaviour, he or she will be saved? What if I forget to seek after Him at times, being distracted by something else?  Am I doomed to go to hell if I fail to show Christ-like behaviour and if I fail to love others as much as I can?  You mentioned earlier that Christ s…

@linus-smallprint

What is your answer to these questions? Also, if escargot is not the weirdest food you have tried, then what is?

I have not tried escargot, but I have made some pretty weird cakes. On a ketchup bottle was an advertisement for a ketchup cake recipe, and it looked pretty good, so I made it for my grandfather’s birthday. (Your…[Read more]

“People call me indecisive, but I really am not sure if they are right.”

😂 too relatable

Probably Zeb or Ezra. How about you?

Oooh, that’s hard. Ezra is definitely one of them, and I love Hera… and Kanan… also Kallie (😂 that said Kallus, but spell-check changed it to Kallie. I think I’m going to start calling him that)

For inspiration, I did not want to go to medieval England, so I am digging into the 19th century for inspiration. They do not have electricity yet (they will soon after this trilogy), but they have cameras, locomotives, and plumbing. Style of clothing is a combination of clothing from this era and what is more typical in fantasy.…

@linus-smallprint I just saw your creatures’ pages and they are amazing!! I kinda want to get on that website and make stuff for my creatures now lol.

The kentors sound exactly like something I’d come up with.

what guidelines do you have for coming up with species? I’ll put out a few of my creatures, and you can just get ideas from them I…[Read more]
