Another recommendation would be The Postmodern Pilgrim’s Progress. It’s really good and also the narrator is hilarious.

@linus-smallprint I haven’t drawn a Hypersense yet! I should though. Once pictures are working, if they ever work, I WILL spam this chat with drawing of the different dragon species lol

@linus-smallprint

I don’t like the idea of the bad spirit. I would like to avoid angels and demons (especially demons) in my story. This is part of the reason why I developed the crystals I wanted to avoid a demonic score of magic and I wanted to use one that felt more natural.

Fair enough🤷‍♂️

I’ve also played with the idea that other animals hel…

I accidentally said the wrong thing. I was trying to say that Jesus always did the will of the Father, showing the harmony between the Father and the Son.

Gotcha, that makes more sense.

Very well. Seeing as you have dealt with all this before and you have likely dealt with whatever my response to those arguments will be. From…

Cool! Good to know; thank you for clarifying ;P

@linus-smallprint

Yeah, KP doesn’t do well with multiple links, sometimes it doesn’t do well with any at all. It’s kind of hit and miss in that way.

Ha ha. Yeah, this is a bigger issue. You might want to grab some coffee or something to drink for this one, it’s going to be long.

I like the confidence, but I don’t drink coffee. If you want long, w…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint oh yay, another person who thinks dinosaurs are just Earth’s dragons! lol

yeah that explanation makes sense, that maybe the worlds were always intended to be freely connected. It would explain why the portals are there in the first place, and part of why it’s so bad that they were closed.

@linus-smallprint Raptaurs have one set of arms. I really want to show you a picture, but I can’t…..😥

Not really! They can be all types of birds. Although most of my established characters lean more towards songbirds and birds of prey, I could see a flamingo ornithiform, or a penguin, or a peacock.

Also, there isn’t really different…[Read more]

Glad I could give you some direction! If nothing else XD

I was wondering. Alan’s profile affirmed several times that he is seen as a monster. Do you mean the common folk eventually discover his wizard powers and then think he’s a monster, or is there some obvious trait on him that people see immediately? From your drawing, he…[Read more]

If you didn’t know, my cat named Marbles had a litter of four little treasures around two weeks ago. This is the Canva link to some pics of the little things!

Many thanks to Shadow, Loopy, Highscribe, Linus, and the…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom @linus-smallprint

Sorry guys; I dropped this when young adult life crept into play, and have since lost relevance and steam. I had some specific thoughts, since I wanted to clarify some things before moving forward. But I don’t even fully remember what my questions were… I may come back to this later – and reread our…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

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…

@linus-smallprint

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…

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…
