Awwww, so fun! (Why do your grown characters still ignite the “poor little babies” part of my brain?)

Also…what does Nikolai look like perchance? And have you done a collage for him? (If you haven’t…well now, I don’t know a whole lot about his story, but I think I’ve caught his drift)

@ellette-giselle

Yay!

Maybe. 🙂

@ellette-giselle

😊 Maketh my heart gladeth.

Does it fit how you pictured him? The plushie is yet unclaimed.

@ellette-giselle

Not sure. Maybe because he’s a guardian type, protecting his younger brother. Maybe because he reminds me of a centurion, and I always loved the centurions in the Bible. He doesn’t understand everything, but he has a strong sense of honor.

@koshka

Aha!

*pulls on gloves*

*Grabs gold pen*

Lisa was looking for that. You don’t want her looking for you instead!

*Looks around*

Oooo, nice story, Ellette. I like Julian.

I will post a character aesthetic, though. It has a bit of the backstory woven in, so I won’t be specific, but see if you can guess who it is! (I say like it’s not painfully obvious.) Whoever gets it right gets an imaginary plushie of this character OR his horse!

@ellette-giselle

Good. That’s what I assumed was happening.

The emotional/spiritual aspect will be addressed later.

I’m afraid I was more concerned over the emotional/psychological aspect, but I suppose that’s kinda what you meant.

Oh, and I wasn’t sad. I was almost angry. Slightly mad. Highly miffed. And rather sorry for…[Read more]

Mae Govenen! Thank ya’ll for your feedback. And I will especially thank you for tactfully reminding me to post the extra that fateful Thursday.

As we all know, the extra was not posted.

Fear not, nevertheless! Although we have not posted chapters, we have been writing them. And…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

*Glares*

You killed him. I’m more than mildly miffed at you.

*Huffs*

*Contemplates writing you into a short story just so I can heap vengeance with my pen*

As to the last section…

This could just be a difference is my own temperament, upbringing, or understanding, but I’m not sure I agree with how Sabina handled the…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed

Oh! I love hearing about your progress. This is so exciting!

The aesthetics are exquisite! I love all the little peoples in them. They really show Riker’s tender heart.

Hans will forever be “a cold sore on the lip of life” like Anne Shirley puts it, but hey, what makes a better villain? I agree that he’s not flat, (dare I…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Oh boy. Ok, this will be fun.

@liberty

YesYesYesYesYes!

My sister and I reverted to eleven year-olds the moment we found out. The amount of happy dances since then has been Citadel of Dreams worthy.

We have effectively spread the Natalian infection to multiple people in our church, and hopefully this next book will bring more loyalties. I feel like a Seventh Districter.…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Well of course I’m reading it. XD

Ooooffffff I knowwwww. Hurting the poor babies hurts us too…

A threat?

…

Hmmm…

@ellette-giselle

I think you can go ahead and give the prompt whenever you want.

And I vote for one word. It makes things so much more interesting in my opinion.

@rae

Yay! Congratulations, @ellette-giselle !

This has been so much fun. If we do it again, count me in!

@ellette-giselle

Okay! I finally got to read through this so far. Here’s my thoughts:

1) Joseph is a dear little boy who might need to be protected from his author.

2) You tend to rely a little heavily on Telling over Showing. For instance, you saying he is struggling with nightmares is unnecessary, since I can see that well enough from his POV…[Read more]

@loopylin

That’s so much fun!

@ellette-giselle

Yep.

Wait a minute.

@ellette-giselle

That is awesome. I wonder if our ancestors fought with, or against each other… XD

@calyhuge

I did think it was funny. I also thought it was gross. Quite gross. Grossly gross. But it was funny.

Still wondering how y’all come up with stuff like that though.
