i’ve got your nose.

THAT’s where it went 👀

OK I”M BACK

I was over here like, “I’m here!” And then I got called to dinner 😑😂

@godlyfantasy12

Awesome! You already have more words down that I get in several hours of writing.

@godlyfantasy12

Good! I’m lounging around after work, waiting for dinner to finish in the slow cooker and enjoying the fact that I don’t have any homework for the moment.

How’s life?

@hybridlore

I’ve used GroupMe a lot. You can create subtopics and stuff like that, but I’m not sure how well it would work for a substitute KP. It’s a group messenging app, not a forum layout…?

@ellette-giselle

Yes! I like how you did Rolf’s story. It didn’t disrupt the flow, but also kept you from an info dump (while still avoiding the confusion of too many flash backs). Well done.

Conrad. *Sniffles* Brave young boy.

One note: Rolf seems to weep a lot in the desert, despite severe dehydration. While I understand him crying, I’d…[Read more]

I’d be open to creating our own community. Slack would probably work for me, I’d have to check with my parents about Discord since I don’t have it yet. There’s also Group Me… which I don’t know much about, but plenty of youth groups seem to use it for announcements (not sure if you can create mini channels or anything like that.)

@keilah-h

Yep, one of hers. It doesn’t have a lot to do with the book, but there is an otter who shows up with his trident great fork part way through. He’s possibly one of my favorite characters.

@godlyfantasy12

Story Embers? They closed their community forum down, so convo is basically impossible.

Annnnnd YDubs costs money…*broke college student speaking*

@godlyfantasy12

Hi!! I’m on for a bit.

@godlyfantasy12

I ammmm

but idk for how much longer, lol

@loopylin @keilah-h
I’ve never used Discord, but I’m open to it!! I wasn’t aware you could have separate channels and such.

Keilah, Slack is mostly used for businesses, but I’ve also been a part of a writing camp that uses it and it works pretty well. The only problem is that if we use the free version, the message history is only 90 days.

@ellette-giselle

Yep! I noticed that! 😆 “Teacher.” I like it.

@ellette-giselle

I love the way you put us inside Rolf’s story instead of having him just tell it. It worked so much better. Also, the transitions were great.

Good section. The part about Conrad was sad, though. I don’t really have any big critiques. Great job!

@theshadow

It looks good! I don’t have any major critiques. It is a very short chapter, but it does a good job of building on the tension. Also, I like the way you described the trees.

It seems a little weird that Olivia and Adeline and Dylan don’t seem to care about their families… well, maybe Dylan a little bit.

@freed_and_redeemed

Love it!!

Also was not expecting Erich! I need to know how he joined the American army!!!

@keilah-h

*Grins and steeples fingers together*

Ah, a KaPeefer finally asked this most interesting of questions…

XD

Short story: “Fork the Gork!” Is a rally cry from one of my sister’s books (her Beliriegn children’s story, if she ever talks about it on here). Certain characters tend to use it with conjunction with their own battle cry “Fork…[Read more]

Or if we can’t do Slack find another free platform where we can have separate channels/forums to keep everything organized

I’m half-tempted just to create our own Slack community at this point. Since (i think) we all trust each other. And then only people we know can get in (no more stalkers XP).

Because if KP was just abandoned, then we’ve got our own little writing community that will live on

Idk 🤷🏻‍♀️ Just an idea…

@keilah-h

Perhaps not, but it would be interesting to see what people noticed it.
