@anatra23 Welcome, welcome! Please, do have some of the brownie cookies I made!

Anyways, as you may have well gathered, we’ve planned a surprise party for you! So without further ado, I shall bombard you with my usual set of welcome questions.

Ready?

1. What are some of your hobbies?

2. What genres do you like writing?

3. What’s your current…[Read more]

*throws glittery confetti*

Hey! Welcome to the forum! Sorry for being a tad-bit late, but transporting 13,794 balloons to this party was a bit trickier than my grandfather told me.

Ah! I also brought some cherry soda if you’d like any. It’s not the best cherry soda in the world, (that requires a plane ticket to North Carolina and a…[Read more]

@molly

Those genres are all really fun! Do you usually write short stories with them or longer-length projects?

Your WIP sounds quite interesting! What stage are you at with it right now?

Vanilla ice cream is indeed supreme. As well as cheesecake.

Eyy, pineapple on pizza gang!

@ariel-f I remember one of my favorite manga artists saying that if the story he’s writing doesn’t surprise him, then he stops writing it. And I am always surprised and astounded by his work. Truly wise words.

To be honest, I struggle with this a lot. I honestly really dislike the characters I made back when I started writing (well, not dislike,…[Read more]

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin Curse these tags.

@writerlexi1216 I believe in using a pen name, as I am right now. I just do it for privacy reasons, as this name is still as hard to pronounce as my previous name. (Not me never saying this name out loud, haha….)

Anyways, I think that A.M. Williams sounds really cool and elegant! A.M. reminds me of the morning.

@keilah-h Ahh I haven’t gotten very deep into the Tron franchise yet but Tron: Legacy is my favorite favorite movie and will always hold a special place in my heart. You draw really well, by the way!

@keilah-h Is this from Tron

*sweats* Maybe we should wait for them to formally introduce themselves, eh? I’m afraid we might’ve scared them off…

@lewilliams Awesome! I love plugging in obscure foreign literature to others!

@godlyfantasy12 How exciting! I think everyone here has given you better advice than I could have, haha. Wishing you the best of luck with it!

@nova21 Of course! Have fun!

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin

A Party sounds spectacular. I’ve gone to quite a few parties in my life time, and by many I mean two. Both of which involved burnt cookies and awkward conversations with people who were in the weird gray area between friend and acquaintance.

I’ll bring bottled cherry soda, gift them with the opportunity to choose…[Read more]

@nova21 Personally, I don’t really think about themes, I just write, and then hope someone can tell me what the themes are, because I’m really bad at discerning what my themes are. Have you seen Story Embers’ latest article? I think that might help you. Let me send you the link (and hope that the forum doesn’t eat my…[Read more]

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin Sounds epic. I will bring brownie cookies (my specialty) and my gift shall be my typical set of questions.

The games sound awesome; I’m willing to give it a try.

Oo, face reveal, how fun!

Hm, not sure what to wear. I think I shall do one of those “Boring Halloween” things and dress up as a lady who’s waiting for a…[Read more]

@elfwing

I love characters that you can’t tell whether to trust or run the opposite direction from. XD And Lord Rodolpho Greco sounds like one of those characters.

I haven’t heard of The River of Time series before, did you enjoy it?

I just watched ATLA a few months ago because my younger brother recommended it, and it’s so fun! (Especially if…[Read more]

@kayleigh-idea

That totally makes sense! I too like more complex characters over simple ones.

@joy-caroline It’d take too long for me to recount 13 Ways so I’ll just give a quick glossary over some short stories… I guess most of my ideas stem from like images I see in my brain or something that I’m reading at the moment. For example, I was reading a manga and about halfway I thought, What if I did something like this too, except not…[Read more]
