This is one of my favorite threads. And @epicaddie2, that is definitely what I look like right before a plot twist. 😉

@northerner *nods* Makes sense.

@rochellaine :’D Quite. Thank you very much; that was indeed in need of clearing up. I guess that’s what I get for not being around. 😛

@rochellaine whew! 😛 I will confess, you guys had me a little freaked out. I guess I missed the discussion where it all started. *fans self feverishly* That takes a load off my mind.

@northerner I haven’t been on either community as much as I would have liked. :'( When the hiatus was first announced it really hit me in the gut, since KP has been my rock for the past five years and one of the best things that ever happened to me.

At first, I was a little skeptical about the idea of a new site. Sure, Story Embers would be…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira a little. I’m part of one of the guilds, but not as active as I should be.

@ariel-ashira XD Preparing for a book launch. 😛

@leumeister it’s quite science-y but also plausible. 😀 I like the gravity manipulation thing. I have something slightly similar, only it’s a negative energy pulsar that basically creates a mini wormhole around the ship and enables almost instantaneous transportation.

Lots of cool ideas. 😀

@leumeister *grins* Thanks.

@leumeister I would love to, but unfortunately I’ve got a huge project on my hands right now (launching my first published book this year 😀 ) and I promised myself I wouldn’t take on anything extra.

@waterlily yeah. What he said.

@jenwriter17 heh… I’ve got the opposite problem. 😛

*scratches head* I would say probably the number one thing that makes my novels so ridiculously long is the crazy amount of time I spend really delving into the layers of chemistry in live scenes. I try to do all live scenes if I possibly can (no summaries, no overviews, no generalizations)…[Read more]

@Daeus *sniffles* It was an awesome gif too.

@Daeus my luck says this gif won’t work, but here you go anyway.

Awesome stuff. You should, like… I don’t know, do a course on it or something. XD

@ariel-ashira Here you go! 🙂 https://storyembers.org/resources/

@gh24682468999 I use a character questionnaire sheet I made up that used to be on KP and is currently on the Story Embers site. For me, a lot of a character has to do with asking enough questions about them to boil them down to three central qualities about who they are as a person. Once I have a set core for the character, it’s easier for me to…[Read more]

@dekreel That presumes I have a Pinterest account. 😛

@rochellaine This is why I don’t let @the-real-kapeefer beta-read my novels.

@warrenluther04 yep, I believe so… though Kai wasn’t my original invention so I’m not a hundred percent on that… @Dragon-snapper is Kai right?

@warrenluther04 sure, go ahead! 😀
