I feel like maybe we should have freedom post a pic of Fun because some of us here have seen his face claims and some haven’t, which is kinda unfair? Anyone else have thoughts?

@freed_and_redeemed

FIN!!! I’m screaming with joy!!!!!!

@keilah-h

yay!! I’m glad you want to read more!!
question: what do you think of the Seven year jump forward ending?

were you sad Aaron died?

I love how that soldier–Adrian, I think?–wants to learn more about Aaron’s beliefs after he saw how brave he was before dying.

yes!! That was one of my favorite parts. Aaron’s last prayer was that God would…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

Well, it just gives away some of what will happen to the characters. That’s all.

Is that a bad thing? Do you feel like it spoils too much? What can you tell me is definitely going to happen from that scene. (Just so I can gage how much it actually does give away)

As for the cover, I’m not sure what you are using to make it and…

@theshadow same.

@koshka

Once most girls start to fight, they don’t care what it takes to win.

Hah, you just described my charrie Huntress. Good thing too. I was worried I’d made her a little too masculine when fighting, but now I see I don’t have to completely trash those scenes, just edit them a bit.

My perspective on this whole thing is similar to esther-c’s views.

Nothing’s wrong with a character having qualities that would more of be attributed to a man (like a Tom boy, or a girl who likes things boys normally do).

Now, the point where it gets wrong is when the roles of men and women are completely swapped to the point of distortion. It’…[Read more]

@whalekeeper CHARRIE TEAMS YESSSSSSS

The Guardians of the Galaxy. The Bad Batch (technically they’re a ragtag group of misfits if you really think about it). Team Fortress (I won’t talk about them much here, but it doesn’t change the fact that they completely fit the description). The Dragonets of Destiny from Wings of Fire (again, won’t talk…[Read more]

yeah, I’m agreeing with @esther-c on this one.

it’s ok to mess around with the “societal norms” as long as you’re not messing with the Biblical roles. That second one’s kinda the whole problem with people these days who believe they can switch between the two (or that there’s a myriad of genders rather than simply two predesigned ones). That’s…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Hmmm…. Depends on what the challenge is.

I love how that soldier–Adrian, I think?–wants to learn more about Aaron’s beliefs after he saw how brave he was before dying.

The fact that you have a story where the main character dies and the POV switches is nice for me too, because I have a story idea where something like that happens and now I have an idea of what to do.

@theshadow Right now it’s going terribly lol, but at least it’s kinda going….

also, would you mind if I gave you a little challenge concerning my writing??

nobody I’ve asked has said yes to this, and I’m sure you won’t either, but you’re one of the like 5 people I have shared this story with so……

@smiley oh cool!! there are graphic novels?

@ellette-giselle UM YEAH I wanna keep reading!!! Especially after all that!!!

also love the cover.

@linus-smallprint

btw, it won’t let me share it. It’s a PDF and I can’t get it on here.

@linus-smallprint

Wow. You make Sanderson’s books look short.

*Bows* thank you!

So why include this Epilogue in book one then?

Um, because I like it. Is it bad? I can cut it. I just felt like it was a nicer ending the Sabina crying, plus I have a seven year jump ending in the next one, and a several year jump in the last one.

(I have a f…

@whalekeeper @ellette-giselle wowww those are so cool!!

@linus-smallprint

Not your fault at all. I just lost my own personal race.

Yes, I can send the whole thing in just one sec. I’m going to lock it down tho, just because KP is somewhere anyone can get onto, so you won’t be able to do anything but read. Not even copy and paste. Hope you don’t mind.

So Aaron held on to the end, and he…

@whalekeeper

I could not ignore how cute those cartoons turned out!! 🥰 Love them!!

I subscribed to this topic so I keep getting notifs 🤪

But this is an interesting conversation. I think I can agree with both points you ladies are making.

Yes, men and women have roles predetermined by God. I’m not going to marry some guy who relies solely on me to protect and provide for our family. (Nothing against stay-at-home dads, but you k…[Read more]
