Hello @unsung welcome to the Kingdom!!!! *waves* We’re SO thrilled to have you here!!! I’m Issabelle, but feel free to call me Is or Issa or any other nickname you come up with – it’s much quicker to spell, lol. And fantasy is one of the best genres ever!! *high fives*

@maryg3 Hey, Mary!! From what I’ve gathered about the bit you shared, it seems your book’s overarching main focal theme is about finding your place in life. (Did I get it right? 😂) So for my personal opinion, I think it’s really great to have more than one message in a story!!! I mean, we as people are so complex and learn so many different…[Read more]

@power Whoa, that poem was AMAZING and really touching!! I loved it! THANK YOU for sharing it with us!! It reminded me of the lyrics from TobyMac’s song Scars. “It doesn’t matter who you are, this world goin’ leave some battle scars.”

@godlyfantasy12

This might not be the best advice by a long shot, but you seem like you’re REALLY in love with the idea of bringing them back. Like I can just feel how much you love this idea and your excitement to write it. And I guess for me, that’s the best reason to follow through with the idea! It’s your story at the end of the day, and if…[Read more]

@denali-christianson Not me making like all my characters Asian because I’m Asian heh….

Okay I had this convo with someone else a few months ago so let me just copy/paste it here…

for me, i honestly don’t like it when diversity is forced in a book. if you feel like your character should be white, then make them white, if not, then make them…

@denali-christianson I still have all your text in my email from the post lol do you want it

@denali-christianson (hit send too soon to see newest post)

and now I have gathered another fan hehehehe it’s all coming together——

@denali-christianson I’m glad I’m a relatable person! 😀 Sometimes I think I’m just in the corner doing wack and setting things on fire while all the other writers have their lives together.

@denali-christianson Heh I haven’t had this much stimulation on the forum for ages. For years. I can tell we’re going to have a fun time! In a non-threatening way, of course. *added exclamation mark to sound less threatening*

Oof haha sometimes I get lazy over things but never enough to like, stop doing it. I’m usually overcommited and will stick…[Read more]

@denali-christianson Yes.

UhhhhhhhHHHHHHHH I know @e-k-seaver and @daisy-torres have made book trailers before. If I were you, and had zero budget and wanted to make live action, then I would use like a free stock video site like this one: https://mazwai.com/#/grid (I’ve seen one of my favorite artists make a lot of beautiful music videos using…[Read more]

@denali-christianson *yeets off to Story Embers forum to do some stalking*

*yeets back*

Yep.

Called it.

@denali-christianson I think I’ve given up on worldbuilding at this stage in life, for all my projects now it’s either like, “What generally fits the vibe of this story” if it’s something short or casual, or, “What would make sense in the story and help me achieve the goals of my plot/character arcs/themes” if I’m being serious and hardworking, or…[Read more]

@denali-christianson Lolol precisely why I write, so I can put some new things out onto the market.

Heh it’s okay I stopped because I graduated :3 You should savor your high school activities while you can

Haha this is the first time I’ve like met people who’ve enjoyed my writing online. And now I’m resisting the urge to plug a self-promo.…[Read more]

@denali-christianson Haha yeah I feel that. I also feel that nowadays a lot of medieval fantasy feels like a LOTR ripoff.

Yes I really loved ballet! Pity I had to stop.

Aww, thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

@denali-christianson Heheh sci-fi in medieval fantasy is honestly better than regular ol’ medieval fantasy. It’s really quite overdone.

And yah I did ballet instead of figure skating but they’re kinda similar so yeah
