@Daeus nope, not crazy. But in my experience you don’t even have to click on the link in the description; if you click on the pin, then click it again, it’ll take you back to the link embedded in it. And I think just about everyone knows that about Pinterest, so you might just end up stating the obvious.

Nice turtles. 😀

@Daeus yes! Much better; either of those would work very nicely.

@Daeus

Daeus here— I just took one of your templates and put rough lines where I was talking about. If you shrink the text inside those lines, it makes it very neat and tidy and leaves clean, empty edges to frame the quote and make it look complete.

@mark-kamibaya had a great thread on sci-fi a while back that touched on a lot of cliches… Well-worth reading: https://kingdompen.org/forums/topic/beginners-tips-for-writing-science-fiction/

@Catwing I’m so proud of my scales. *examines her arms in smug satisfaction*

All the puns on people’s names tho… and inside jokes… XD I love KP Literature.

You know what, maybe you could just put two straight and fairly defined black lines down the sides of the one you fixed, about half an inch from the edge.

@Daeus hm… better-ish? I like the first re-do, but it isn’t perfect. What program are you using to put these together? Because putting in white boxes is like… as basic as the abcs…

@Daeus whooo, my eyes are crossing. 😛

None of these are particularly amazing in my very humble opinion, though I do think the second has potential. The biggest problem is the composition— there are no lines to define where graphic meets text, or to organize the whole thing for us so our eyes have to do as little bouncing around as…[Read more]

Identical thoughts to @daeus Good premise, and if the entire story isn’t going to be as dark in the first chapters, you just want to include enough glimpses of light to indicate that. I don’t personally have a problem with dark, depressing stories when there’s a point to them, but you don’t want to unintentionally indicate that’s the type of story…[Read more]

@Daeus sounds good to me. 😛 Honestly I haven’t studied it as much as I should have. But from what I know of Pinterest, that’s a very solid plan.

@gabbyj I did–it was a great experience! It worked quite differently then than I believe it does now, but I learned a lot of Scripture passages through that and grew a lot because of it over these three years.

That’s great that you’ve been able to discover new authors through our interviews. 😀 I’m thrilled that we’re able to interview so many…[Read more]

Hm. It… might actually be the link in my forum signature acting up. It wouldn’t be the first time. @Daeus @Aratrea can I get your thoughts on this?

@Dragon-snapper I am so awfully sorry. I have no idea why it’s doing that. Guys, is anyone else having that problem?

@Catwing wow, we’re just gonna start a regular new genre here! XD

Oh, and by the way, it may help if you put the sharing settings of the doc on ‘anyone with the link can view’. That way we don’t have to request individual access.

@Dekreel ooh, cool! I likey. 😀 I’m such a drama queen…

@sleepwalkingmk Great question. I believe the details are currently being kept under-wraps, so to learn what Succession House is looking for, email Christy at cjsomerville@gmail.com. She’s pretty easy to talk to and will let you know what kind of auditions she’s looking for and what the contest will be like.

Welcome to the site @gabbyj! Love your profile pic. 🙂 I did the Bible Bee for the first four years of the competition but then graduated out of it when I left high school. xD

Who are your favorite fantasy authors?
