@elfwing Mm yes ducks would make such cute spies. My guards would definitely let down their guard for them. If I had guards.

And yes, eat the chickens. Better than eating the horse, heheh.

And geese are absolutely terrifying they would definitely make very good watchdogs. Or turkeys. Forget peacocks turkeys would do more than just be decoration.

@elfwing How about…chickens? There seems to be an underwhelming amount of chickens in fantasy except in cooking.

And ducks. And geese.

@alia I’m going to be sprinting all day, so I may or may not be on here. Have fun writing!

@kathleenramm Secret identities —- your works sound lowkey like Durarara!, which has quite a bit of that around the climax.

Hmm…for me I find myself pulling more light novel tropes, usually, such as getting hit by a truck, white curtains blowing in a classroom, fireworks festivals, etc…. I watch too much anime…

Um…I use “the quest” a…[Read more]

@joy-caroline That sounds awesome! I’m all for parallels! Sounds like it would be hard to pull off but if you could do it, that’d be really good!

@keilah-h Of course! One of my favorite books, East of Eden, is a retelling of Cain and Abel, and I love it to pieces. Your methods sound so cool! What stories do you usually choose?

@kathleenramm Ah, farmer/shepherd meaning Cain and Abel, haha… I didn’t realise I was writing a retelling of the first murder until I was almost done. So…

Yes, reflective character arcs are so good with foils and things… Those always strengthen themes the best, I think.

@kathleenramm Positive character arc…what’s that…

I used to not think about character arcs but hey, now I kind of do.

I know I have some planned but the only one I can think off of the top of my head that I’ve actually written is Rainan Streamgate’s negative character arc. Which, honestly, turned into a farmer/shepherd story more than I…[Read more]

@ariel-f AHH I’m so glad you loved it! 😀

@joy-caroline

Oh my word I am DYING! 😂 These are priceless!

By the way everyone I’m saving all these precious memes on the Ignite Pinterest board.

@hallie-jean Glad I could help! To be honest, I have an outline too, but if my characters want to go somewhere else, I let them and forget the outline completely.

It has a a feather.

In it. Yup it do.

@hallie-jean Me, I write my first drafts as how I expect my story to be, except really really in need of editing. That is, when I’m on paper. My paper things aren’t good enough to be shown to the world. On PC I just write and try to aim for quality.

First draft I think means the first time you write a story through before you edit it. And I think…[Read more]

Oops… @ariel-f

@elfwing

Idk man… dorito is only for the high class, so unless you got two hands rather then one, I don’t think you’ll be seeing the inside of  a dorito factory anytime soon.

Sorry, #twohandsgangboiiiii

@mkfairygirl Ah, I’m in a Zoom right now but I may or may not join you afterwards if I’m not passed out!
