@daeus I’ve had a couple of people read it, and I’m still interested in your offer of beta reading as well, but as for sharing with every one else, I want to wait, is all. So, if I wanted to send it just to you for now, how would I do that?

@Daeus *grins* Thanks…
And those sound absolutely adorable. I want one.

@i-j-anderson (btw, Taren’s also silently intense and sympathetic)
Ok, here goes one for a fantasy race I’m working on inventing.
The name is Teedletiden.
They are two to three feet in height, human like, and tree-dwellers. Culturally, they are traditional and by disposition merry, musical, and artistic. Their chief occupation is an…[Read more]

@i-j-anderson This is a cool idea! I love drawing characters (that doesn’t mean I’m always good at it 😛 Sometimes I get a gem, but it takes a lot of time sometimes) and I would also be interested in seeing what other people’s ideas for my characters would be.
Another thing I’d suggest we could do is after people draw other peoples’ character,…[Read more]

And I have easily a bazilliondy characters (not exaggerating), so if for whatever reason that doesn’t work, I can offer you more. 😛

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Character Art Exchange in the forum Art 9 years, 6 months ago
@I-J-Anderson … did… did I understand this correctly? You want descriptions of characters so maybe they can inspire you and other ‘stuck’ artists to draw a portrait of them?
This is… I like this. This is unusual. But really cool.
Umkay… let me see. *scratches head* Assuming I’ve understood this correctly… have a character.

@daues Oh, yes, that would work. Thanks.
But I think I’ll do that after I submit it to the contest. I’ll let you all know when I’m ready 🙂

@perfectfifths As for emails, you could have either Sarah Spradlin or me act as a middleman to get it out to everybody.

Louise Fowler replied to the topic Tips for Writing Short Stories in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 6 months ago
@ethryndal Thanks, I thought it a relief to to it this way, it means I didn’t have to think of a story and write it in 1,500 words or less – I just had to fix up existing one to be 1,500 words or less.
As for sharing, I’m not exactly sure, but @daeus said putting it in Google docs and sharing the link – though I’m not sure about that, because I…[Read more]

@winter-rose @graciegirl *gets captured by orcs and taken to Orthanc*
Well, I think I’m going to stop now. I wrote 500 or so words, which I am not too happy with. Whether or not I’ll keep it is debatable, but it was an idea on paper. Thanks for joining me! -

Ethryndal replied to the topic Tips for Writing Short Stories in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 6 months ago
@perfectfifths You are so much more ambitious than I… XD Ooh, I want to read it! That’s a pretty interesting idea, converting something you’ve already written into a short story. How does it work, exactly, sharing the link?

Ethryndal replied to the topic The Sarcastic Elf in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 6 months ago
@Emma-Flournoy I will never understand the language we speak.
@Audrey-Caylin Oddly enough, that’s actually as big as I could make the title. So either WordPress wants me to upgrade so I can make it bigger (and subsequently pay them money) , or I have no idea what I’m doing and missed something totally obvious. Both are plausible. 🙂 I’m going to…[Read more]

@Mark-Kamibaya I no, I’m so sorry! I will definitely pray for you guys.

@Ethryndal! *hugs you ’cause she can’t help it even though INTJs don’t like emotional display*
Why do you have to be so nice?
I can’t think of a Y either. Yummy? That’s the only positive Y word I could think of off the top of my head, and that’s only positive if you’re a cannibal. (I don’t think you are.)
Thanks, Sarah. 🙂
The superhero…I was…[Read more]
@Emma-Flournoy Ah, aherm, yes, most Elves don’t partake in cannibalism. XD I actually got curious and looked up positive Y words, and Yummy was practically the only one. Yummy and Yum. You are neither. I hope. 😉
Well, you deserve to be a superhero. Seriously, when I think of nice people on KP, you’re top on my list. So encouraging and helpful,…[Read more]
Nope. I’m very bland tasting.
That is seriously encouraging!! (You’re one of my faves too. ) That’s one of the nicest things you could say. To be helpful and encouraging is pretty much my ultimate goal along with doing everything for God’s glory, so when people say I am it just makes me SO happy. (Don’t tell people, but shortly after I got on KP…[Read more]
*awkwardly pats head because that’s all INTJs know how to do* I think it’s so neat, how much you want to serve God. Most of the teenagers I know are pretty shallow in regards to spiritual things, so when I meet one who’s not, it makes me want to do a happy dance or something. Honestly, most of the kids on KP seem to be pretty deep people, and…[Read more]
Yay, mission accomplished! I’m not shallow! 😀
No, I know what you mean. I don’t even know that many teenagers (aside from here of course), but I know what you mean. I love meeting spiritually un-shallow young people too, and it makes me seriously glad when I find one. Many of the awesome young people I know I know from here.
Whew, glad I didn’t…[Read more]
Yup, it’s a novel. Two years in the making and very little to show for it. 😛 Glad you’re interested. (And if it helps, it’s not a very long book. 40,000 words, and I don’t think it’s going to grow any time soon.) But that’s getting ahead of myself, because it’s not even going to be done for a while. 🙂
So how’s life?
*pops in real quick* @Ethryndal @Emma-Flournoy you guys are both amazing. *pops out*
@Kate-Flournoy Oh. Thanks, good to known. XD You’re amazing too.
Oh my @Kate-Flournoy, you too. *insane head-bobbing*
@Ethryndal Life….life…well, it’s going pretty much like life, currently. 🙂 Regular old cabin cleaning, school work, stuff… But I recently finished most of my school, and that makes me SO HAPPY!!! Ain’t goin’ to college, either.
Reading, beta-reading, playing the violin when I have time, playing the piano very seldom because when I have time…[Read more]
@Emma-Flournoy Oh, I’ll definitely pray for you. I have quite a bit of experience with chronic health problems that seem to have no answers, not for myself, but for my mom, so I understand. And I used to have really bad headaches all the time, and they are No. Fun. So yeah, I’ll be praying. At least you get lots of people-watching experience,…[Read more]
Thanks. 🙂
I know, your mom; is her problem something you think will be fixable sometime? I’ve been praying for her too.
Yeah…like, all of it. 😛 I have some math review I’ll be doing, and a couple more reports to write, and a rather large amount of history books to read still (but really, one should never stop reading educational books)…all…[Read more]
I just realized that could be slightly insulting. I’M TECHNICALLY NORMAL TOO. Just so we’re on the same page here. 😉
Flugabafluffff…mom is…well, it’s something called ‘Topical Steroid Withdrawal’, which is basically what happens when you use steroid creams, like Cortizone for eczema, for a long time. Your skin becomes addicted to it, until…[Read more]
HA, I didn’t even think of it as taking that meaning. XD No worries in the least, and I probably would have done the same thing. I find myself feeling bad a lot for things I said that could be taken the wrong way and offend someone.
That sounds TERRIBLE. I am so, so sorry. It sounds like it could be similar to having perpetual chicken pox; when…[Read more]
Are you sure you’re not me? Because seriously, you sound like me. 😀
Okay. I was literally JUST thinking about emailing and such last night, but wasn’t exactly sure how to go about phrasing it without sounding creepy. 🙂 I think we’ve been terribly misusing this poor activity comment…
Solemn pledge not to make it awkward, and I will go ask my…[Read more]
@Ethryndal *huge grins all over the place* I literally rocked for joy when I saw this. YAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!
Yep, I know—no posting e-mail addresses for all the world to see, uh-uh. I’ll ask Daeus or Sarah Spradlin to do an exchange—they do that sometimes with blog/website contact thingies to help the peeps on here who need someone’s e-mail.…[Read more]
Aaaaaaaand Parental Unit confirms! It’s a go! Ask a way!
*looks back over entire conversation* Wow. This got big.
Lovely. 😀 I shall.
It’ll be my mom’s address, because I don’t have one. 😉
Btw, I love how you seem to have a good relationship with your parents. That seems a kind of forward thing to say, but…how you respect their authority and all, it’s so good to see that.
I’ll be telling my mom about this, but I know she’ll let me so I haven’t asked her. 🙂
@Emma-Flournoy Well, I sent Daeus my email address, so, yay!
Awww *grins all over self (you’ve affected me that way 🙂 )* that makes me so happy. I love my parents to death. They’re my best friends.
And don’t worry about forwardness or anything. I’m not one of those people who gets offended. 🙂
Yay! I expect he’ll be sending it to me sometime in the next little while, ’cause he already knows mine.
That is so awesome.
And so is that. One thing I love about having dealings with Thinkers is that they’re less sensitive (or more rational, however you wanna put it 😛 ), so I, being a Feeler myself, don’t have to worry quite so much over what…[Read more]
Yay!
Yup, I’m not sensitive. In the least. Which is funny, because everyone else in my family is. It makes for an interesting dynamic sometimes… 😉
I probably used to know this, but what is your personality type again?
@Ethryndal Meh. Somehow I didn’t see a notification for this, and didn’t see it till now. I’ll answer your question in the e-mail since you asked it there too. 😉
