I haven’t been active on these forums for a while (if you can’t already tell, lol) but it’s so good to see you here! Hope you have fun exploring the community 🙂

I have a copy in English and another in Chinese. I’ve read like 3 pages in Chinese so far and am more than halfway through in English, lol.

What sort of stories do you like to write? I’m assuming you write what you like to read, fantasy or dystopian?

I loved the Detectives in Toga duology by Henry Winterfield and Daughter of Rome and Thief of Corinth by Tessa Afshar. I can’t say I’ve read many others… I should go on the hunt! Especially if I’m ever going to write a story set in that…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting I read the story, and it’s beautiful! Your writing is amazing!

Seems we share a lot of interests. I don’t listen to a lot of Celtic music, but I like Celtic pop xD May I ask which languages you’re into?

LotR is pretty awesome, although I can’t honestly say I’ve read the actual books (I’m going through The Hobbit), but I have watched the first half… of the first movie?…[Read more]

Honestly, if you’re putting that much effort into worldbuilding, I think it’ll be very different. But yeah, save that for the editing. Well, that makes sense! If it’s similar to Divergent at all, it should be an interesting type 😛

I’m not into photography, but it’s really fascinating. And hey, that’s a great way to improve painting! I think. I’m trying to sound encouraging and like I know what I’m talking about, which I don’t because my past…[Read more]

@kathleenramm I used to be obsessed with the animal kingdom (still kinda am) but unimpressed by the “shifter” races in fantasy. I figured shapeshifting shouldn’t be limited to just wolves and whatnot. So, you know, the idea of a human who could turn into a squirrel came…[Read more]

Also that’s neat! I’m in awe of all you…[Read more]

@allisongrace I love fantasy and contemporary too, though I read a variety of genres. fairytale retellings in particular 😛 And I like to write in those genres, too. Fanfic is great, haha, I haven’t had the guts to try it in years.

*gasp* I get the top-secret…[Read more]

I’m also in high school, a Christian, and spec-fic writer! Mostly fantasy because I cannot do technology stuff, lol. But I like that kind of fantasy– urban fantasy/magic realism, whatchamacallit? Are you working on a project right now and if you are, what’s…[Read more]

I’m new so I don’t know who you are 🙂 but if you’re another crazy writer (and one who does it by HAND), and willing to admit it, then we have found common ground *shakes your hand in a semblance of calm maturity* What are your favorite genres to read and write about? And how much are we allowed to know about your current WIP?

Yes, I totally agree. The seed of inspiration has to come from somewhere, right?

English is really complicated, haha! That’s cool that you’re learning Korean too! I’ve never lived in Korea long-term but we visit every…[Read more]

Which ones do you listen to now?

(The edit button only seems to appear a few minutes after posting, so I can’t find it…)

I got into writing because of Shannon Hale’s Ever After High trilogy, lol. Yeah, I know it’s a pretty cliché beginning for writers to begin with fanfiction, but… *shrug*…[Read more]

I don’t really watch like… any TV shows (I’m a super boring person) so I only know of one k-drama by name, and I wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re looking for lots of cringe-laughs. So…

I can…[Read more]

That’s so cool! And wow, Angel is pretty old for a cat– that’s impressive. And that’s a neat story! Does it bring a little more meaning to Christmastime?

My sister and I are 3 years apart–…[Read more]

It’s one of those big crew-of-characters adventure stories! I’ve been working on it for a few months now.

All right, that makes sense. I guess it’s because I don’t technically fit under the official definition of being raised in a different country? It’s…[Read more]

Do you watch any K-dramas?

Okay, lovely. Looks like I’m doomed, then!

They sound adorable! How long have you had them?

I have one younger sister! And it’s a funny thing– I’ve been homeschooled only two years, last year and one grade in elementary school, but I’ve been going to…[Read more]

Ooh, you’re learning Japanese! I’ve always wanted to visit Japan… Have you been there? And do you know Chinese too?

Korea is a lovely place, with lots of good food, and fun things to do 🙂

And no, I don’t watch anime… Though I keep getting recs from friends who do.

I like to draw characters, too, either from other fandoms or my own! Most of my decent pieces are sketches of everyday things and animals and stuff like that, though. Do you draw characters from your novels or just draw new characters?

Nameless WIPs are just… just sad.

Yay, that’s so cool! That you’ve visited Shanghai AND that you write by hand. It’s a miracle mine hasn’t fallen off by now. I should learn to write with my left hand, too.

My family has moved around quite a bit… We spent 4 years in America before moving back to Beijing, and now we’re in Shanghai. I…[Read more]

Haha, it’s not that I don’t like coffee; I just don’t drink it. Actually, I don’t drink anything with caffeine on a regular basis, except the occasional bubble tea, because bubble tea is awesome.

I love Andersen’s the best, but I’m a big fan of Perrault and Grimm too. And stories from other places, too. My top favorites… I have too many! I’m an indecisive teenager! But “The Wild Swans” is definitely one of them. 🙂 What’s yours?

I used to live in Beijing (until like, two weeks ago), and it’s a really interesting mash of…[Read more]

Yes, all my projects need nice, shiny titles before I can get working with a good conscience! xD I’m very particular about that.

What if I don’t like coffee…?

Hmm, what about me is worth introducing? In the category of books (the reading and writing of), I’m very fond of fantasy, dystopian, and fairytale retellings. In fact, I’m very fond of fairytales in general. I love fairytales.

*pause for dramatic effect, and also to think of something else to say*

I write novels by…[Read more]
