@Ethryndal I almost just screamed. Seriously. And now I’m sitting here grinning my face in half.
I
LOVE
THAT
PICTURE!
*dies laughing* Thank you so much; you’ve just made my day.

@I-J-Anderson so much character in that drawing though! I love it!

@PerfectFifths this anywhere close?

‘Nother character…

Erika Paige, female, nineteen. Tall, a little bony, dark-ish skin and a light dusting of freckles, with grey-green eyes and a veritable mop of brilliant red hair. She’s a mechanic… her story is steampunk, so she makes steam-powered robots and drones and such… and she also dresses like a Victorian era lady, mostly in dark…[Read more]

Ouch.
This is superb. Just… everything. You had some typos, especially a lot in the first part, (and one grammar problem— ‘lays’ instead of ‘lay’ or ‘lies’) but everything else was amazing. I was also struck with how well you characterized Ellen— the quiet, sweet characters can…[Read more]

Welcome to the forum @jason! Glad you’ve found us. Who’s your biggest inspiration as a writer?

@widdrim Hey, another English/literature major! Welcome aboard. 🙂 Have you ever read Owen Barfield’s Poetic Diction? That’s the extent of my knowledge on linguistic drift, and it was a bit speculative at times, but it was overall a very fascinating read.

@Jane-Maree welcome to KP! What do you like to write?

@PerfectFifths

I have to stop looking at her for now, otherwise I’m going to see all the flaws and my perfectionism will drive me crazy!

Congratulations. You just summed up my life in one sentence. :’D

KP IS AWESOME. You guys have literally been everything to me in my writing journey. That is factually accurate; not an exaggeration. I didn’t know anything or anyone until I found you wonderful people. So thank you.

Yeah.
