@anika123 Welcome to the Kingdom! We’re so happy you’re here! I’ve got some questions for you, if you don’t mind.

1. What are some of your favorite hobbies outside of writing?

2, What’s your current work about?

3. What are some of your favorite books/movies?

@elfwing Hi there! Welcome to the Kingdom! I’m Linyang, though most here call me Lin.

Ah, dragons. Is this the type of fantasy that you write? I write fantasy as well, though I stray more towards an urban fantasy. Can you tell me what your current work in progress is about?

Also, beautiful profile picture.

Ey, I’m homeschooled as well, and also…[Read more]

@gracie-j Ahhh tysm! It’s from a song called “Campanella” by Kenshi Yonezu! I highly recommend it (and the book which it was based on).

@gracie-j Why thank you! Yours is quite lovely as well!

@kathleenramm Cry. Or scream. Kidding, kidding. I’ll either scribble down some incoherent things for my future self to decipher, or I’ll run it around in my brain for a few days or weeks until I feel like I have a coherent idea for me to start developing. And then at some point I start it, leave it for six months, then come back and see where it takes me.

@kathleenramm Exactly! That’s why I love foreign literature.

@kathleenramm Of course! I totally get that. I feel like that while there’s clichés in manga, there is also a much different set of stories to explore than the ones we usually see.

@kathleenramm Good characters! Hmm… Fullmetal Alchemist is definitely there at the top, or Silver Spoon, if you prefer school life over action/fantasy. A Silent Voice has a really nice MC and storyline for him. Spy x Family is extremely fun. 20th Century Boys by Naoki Urasawa, which I’m currently reading, is also phenomenal, though I’d have to…[Read more]

@beth-darlene I am indeed! I think I’ve seen you around.

@abigail-m @writerlexi1216 Heavens, you guys sure type a lot. Love to see the enthusiasm, though.

@beth-darlene Welcome! I’m Linyang, but you can call me Lin. I write crime, fantasy, and school life stories.

Stopping at :34 with 376 words. Favorite line:

Ranen sighed and rubbed his temple, evidently wondering why he had been dragged into this mess.

Gonna be sprinting from :40 to whenever I need to sleep if anyone wants to join.

@lewilliams Well, now that you’ve so implored me to watch this show, I’m definitely going to put this on my to-watch list.

@joy-caroline Ah, I should be the one thanking you! Thank you so much, Joy!

@kathleenramm Based off of memes I wanna say Dr. Doofenshmirtz and Perry the Platypus. But I haven’t watched Phineas and Ferb, so…

I really enjoyed the Batman and Joker’s dynamic in The Dark Knight. How Joker is everything Batman is not. Towards the end of the film there is one iconic quote, when Batman is dangling him from a building:

“Oh,…

@joy-caroline Thank you so much! I love it!

@issawriter7 Not good, haha.

I think I’m gonna jump in and see how much I can write/study until :30. Gonna study, write, alternate every few minutes.
