@elanor Whoa, that’s so cool! You must have an awesome collection!

@elfwing Ahh…the forum does that sometimes. It’s quite annoying.

I have betta fish! One’s called Dennis, the other called Festus. They’re quite cute.

@anika123 Me? I’m old…I can handle some mature stuff. I like crime, mainly. But also sad stories.

@elanor Lovely movie choices! And yes, Hallmark, does, uh, kind of suck. At least for me.

Those desserts sound delicious! And vanilla is seriously good.

Oo, rocks! What’s the most interesting rock that you have?

@anika123 Oh, nice! Any shows you would recommend?

@lydia-s I’m glad to hear you love writing so much! And ey, soon to be graduates unite!

Me, I’m going to college for computer science, actually. With a minor in music. I’m not planning on doing any writing classes. I’m hoping to write a lot in my free time, and the dream is to be able to quit my job and become a full-time writer before 30. I feel…[Read more]

@ariel-f Hi Ariel! Nice to meet you! I’m Linyang, though you can call me Lin, if you’d like. Welcome to the Kingdom!

I love wolves, music, and reading as well! Since you write science fiction, are there any sci-fi books you would recommend me?

Your story sounds awesome! Can’t wait to hear more about it.

Oh, by the way, do you like pineapple on…[Read more]

@elanor Dragons! I love dragons! Nice to meet you, by the way! I’m Linyang, but most here call me Lin! Lovely to make your acquaintance!

As @joy-caroline has beaten me to some of my common welcoming questions, I’ll greet you with these:

1. What are some of your favorite movies?

2. Any particularly delectable desserts you’ve tried before?

3.…[Read more]

@elfwing Your WIP sounds so cool! I’d love to hear more about it!

Ruby is so cute! I have two fish, but that’s it.

Oo, lovely choices! My favorite would be Tron: Legacy, but I also love Inception, The Dark Knight, Parasite, and Midnight Special.

Ah, yes, I’ve read the Lord of the Rings, the Silmarillion, and the Hobbit when I was younger,…[Read more]

@lydia-s That’s so awesome that you want to make writing a career! 😀 That’s so awesome! That’s also what I pursued after high school. I didn’t go to college for it, because I didn’t think that was necessary. I think there are plenty of other resources (books, courses, websites, videos, etc.) that you can learn adequately from without paying as…[Read more]

@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.
