@rae you–

you actually liked it??

wow.

thank you!

three months of my life weren’t wasted writing this!

My only mental note is it was pretty obvious that Spy was Huntresses and Scouts father from the point that Huntress entered his room and saw his stuff.

This is probably a relic of earlier drafts, in which Huntress figured it out while she…[Read more]

@rae you were asking about my currently unnamed fanfic for a fandom I don’t even suggest getting into?? lol

not finished editing it but here, delete the space or something lol

I had a link to the same story several pages back on this forum but I…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

You two have some issues with trusting authors. I don’t deserve this at all. What have I ever done to warrant this?! (lol)

I am an author and I don’t trust myself, so there! Lol.

trust me (or don’t haha), we all have done plenty to warrant being very sus of each other. It’s nothing to be ashamed of, or well it kinda is, but is…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

 even if we’re glad the character didn’t die, it often feels a little artificial.

While I agree with you that maybe killing off Adrian is the best course of action, especially considering this is supposed to be a realistic missionary story, I’ve also seen a story where it’s the opposite: They killed off a character because it…[Read more]

@the_lost-journal

Thanks, it’s not that I feel ashamed, it’s that I feel like I am being self absorbed and selfish just asking for prayer for myself.

No, that’s not wrong. Especially in your situation. How many siblings do you have? Are you the youngest, oldest, or in the middle?

I’ll be praying for you. Is there a name I can refer to you…[Read more]

@whalekeeper In my mind, I see it as:

Protagonist–The main character or character whose arc we’re following. The POV character in a first-person story.

Hero–Subtype of protagonist. Usually someone with a sense of good and evil, a person with moral standards they won’t break unless in an extreme situation, a person worth emulating at least by…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Yes, the defeating the prophesy junk is stupid unless there is a very valid reason. For instance, I had a character in a book who was cursed by the gods of his people because of a prophesy, but when he came to Christ he was able to flip that on it’s head and say, “you know what, I was cursed. But so are all of you. We are all cur…

@rae yeah I can see that.

idk about misunderstood but tragic definitely.

@freed_and_redeemed ugh you’re making me sad now

like in Freedom’s Fire you see him as mostly heartless and cruel, but in all the other books he is more humanized–he has a brother, he has a family, he has reasons for why he did what he did. Not that they were good reasons, mind you, but it means that it upsets you that he went down the path of…[Read more]

well also you can’t really talk about church density NOW as opposed to in the past….y’know?

pretty much about the entire country is really skewed when it comes to that these days….

@calyhuge whoa he was your ancestor? As much as you might dislike him, you gotta admit that’s cool.

@power @ellette-giselle lollll this conversation has me just sitting here on the sidelines watching, I would be eating popcorn but I’m not a huge fan of popcorn, unless it’s popcorn chicken so maybe that’s what I’m eating.

@rae thank you!!

• glad I wasn’t disqualified lol
• confusion in writing is what I’m good at for some reason XD XD
• honestly though, I can see why you think this reads like a chunk of a larger story rather than a short story, cause it kinda is. I wrote it for practice and to maybe one day turn it into a larger storyline, cause that’s how I craft…

@ellette-giselle wowwwwww

That is so cool!!

My dad designs houses, so if I ever want him to make me a house, I’m gonna ask him to put one in there.

@ellette-giselle THAT WAS AWESOME.

I have like zero records of my family history lol. My dad is trying to find some information on his family tree, but there isn’t much to go by. I guess his ancestors didn’t keep a lot of genealogical records.

@koshka thanks!!

@koshka

here you go!

my charries confronting each other on top of a train. Inspired by the hurricane that hit Florida last month; the wind sounds reminded me of what it would be like standing on top of a fast moving vehicle such as a train, so I drew this. Then I wrote a scene for why they were confronting each other, and then I revised it a…[Read more]

I also have the drawing I based the original scene off of if anyone wants to see it.

@everyone but @rae especially

This….barely counts as the story of a scar, or a short story. LOL.

I had a much better one in mind but just didn’t have the drive to write it. So I pulled out a scene I had written for practice and added some extras to it, polished it down, etc.

So instead of a clear, nicely written short story, you get three…[Read more]

@rae I’m working on mine as well, although if I don’t get it done by today am I out? Like, is it ok if I get it up tomorrow?
