@dekreel Classic.

@jenwriter17 Yeah. I think it’s the “Worst Allegory Ever” video.

@dekreel XD I figured.

@dekreel These keep getting better and better.

@dekreel Lol. You just tagged yourself. 😛

@sam-kowal 😀 Thanks!  Go eat the pancakes and cinnamon rolls. (Stop it, you’re making me hungry too.) 😛

@ethryndal @daeus @winter-rose @jenwriter17 @sam-kowal @jane-maree @audrey-caylin Hey guys! I revamped my blog, if you wanted to check out the new design. 🙂

(And Audrey, I also redid my blog button, if you could update that too. 😀 Thanks! )

@SlyLilHuntress 😀

@Dekreel Quite. XD

@SlyLilHuntress Welcome to KP! You have now gained many friends. 😉

@Daeus I’ll have you know I was racing to get that typed out before you posted and said all my stuff for me. XD

No, good points though. Maps are important… I have them… in my head… XD Allegorical and historical elements too. Oooh ooh, in fact @Joy, I actually have a cool thing for you. Four ‘pillars’ for you to figure out, that’ll give you…[Read more]

Oh, drat. Kate just stole my secret fire. 🙁

@joy

Fantasy, more than any other genre, is about the past, so the most important thing to nail down is the past history of your story world. Allegorical aspects are good to nail down early too if you want to have them. If you’re going to have magic, nail that down early. Oh, and nail down a map of all the lands included in your story, so you…[Read more]
