@northerner *nods* Makes sense.

@dekreel Great! 😀 we’ll be closing the voting on Monday I think, then start reading/discussing 🙂 You don’t have to read really fast, we’ll be pretty much going at our own pace and sharing what we learned from the authors.
tagging also @princessfoo @kate-flournoy @northerner

@northerner @kate-flournoy I love SE! A lot! It has pretty much the same mission as KP. I go over there all the time to haunt the forum and read the new articles which have been amazing. Still, it saddens me that KP is not what is used to be and so many people have left. My best friends though ( @alia @seekjustice @rochellaine @jenwriter17 esp…[Read more]

SeekJustice replied to the topic So what's next for the forums? in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 5 months ago
Personally, I decided to hang around here because I don’t have enough time for two forums (though I do have an account on SE) and because the people who I’ve become especially close to are still here (*cough* @alia @rochellaine @jenwriter17 @ariel-ashira ). I’m sad that everyone else has gone, but I felt I had to choose…[Read more]

@northerner  We have not vanished, we will not leave!
“What’s even left of the Kingdom?”, is the innocent cry, but much is left in our hearts and our minds, and though we be but few we are strong- and we shall fight for our Kingdom. Yes, fight for the Kingdom though most have left, fight fiercely with our knitting needles and golden retriever, f…[Read more]

@northerner I haven’t been on either community as much as I would have liked. :'( When the hiatus was first announced it really hit me in the gut, since KP has been my rock for the past five years and one of the best things that ever happened to me.
At first, I was a little skeptical about the idea of a new site. Sure, Story Embers would be…[Read more]

@Northerner This is why it’s better to just avoid on-topic responses around here. They generally never work.

Emma Flournoy replied to the topic Self-Doubt… in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 7 months ago
Gaaahhh @Northerner “On Fairy Stories” and “Mythopoiea” are two of the most amazing things ever written. And YES. Tolkien liked his notes.

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic What's Your WIP? in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 7 months ago
@Northerner *pounds table* AMEN, AMEN, AND AMEN.
Well, Tolkien has undoubtedly influenced me, but when I try to trace my intentions for this project back to wherever they’re rooted he actually doesn’t come into the picture much. I think… my whole life’s experience so far has been the influence for that idea. 😛 The storyworld began disgustingly…[Read more]

@Northerner Ha! 😂 Thank you. I really appreciate it. (I’m sorry too. But I forgive you. *magnanimous gesture* Gotta do whatcha gotta do. I hold out in the hope that maybe one day you’ll bring it to new life and I can do it again. Mostly for Deormod’s sake, you know.)
And I tag you for being a cool person who’s interested in old history and deep…[Read more]

@Northerner Was that poem published on here recently called The Human Mind by your sister, or by a totally unrelated Olivia White?

@northerner, INTP INTP INTP! Yeah I know, a little overboard. And I agree, INTJs aren’t as rare as they want us to think.
Are they @charisetter???

@Alia behold. *flourish* I give you @northerner.

I’m a sophomore in college, so not tackling my major just yet. I’m aiming to major in Creative Writing, though. @northerner

Lady Iliara replied to the topic Anyone interested in beta-reading a novella? in the forum Short Story Critiques 6 years, 12 months ago
@northerner I’d love to beta-read it, as I’m not doing NaNoWriMo or anything else! (If you still need betas!)

Ethryndal replied to the topic Anyone interested in beta-reading a novella? in the forum Short Story Critiques 6 years, 12 months ago
@Northerner Righto.

Elizabeth replied to the topic Anyone interested in beta-reading a novella? in the forum Short Story Critiques 6 years, 12 months ago
Ugh, I’m so sorry @northerner, but I just don’t have time. I’m constantly fighting with my college classes for any writing time as it is. I wish I could help–and truthfully, I really want to–but I gotta be smart. I don’t have time.
Good luck, though.

Ethryndal replied to the topic Anyone interested in beta-reading a novella? in the forum Short Story Critiques 6 years, 12 months ago
Hey, @Northerner, I’m not doing either NaNo or Rooglewood. I can beta-read for you.

Aislinn Mollisong replied to the topic Anyone interested in beta-reading a novella? in the forum Short Story Critiques 6 years, 12 months ago
Ooh, cool @northerner! I actually would read it. I could try, but I’m doing NaNo and beta-reading Catwing’s book, so I don’t know how much I would actually get done. How about I give it a go?
(P.S. Snow White retelling, love it.)

PrincessFoo replied to the topic Fairytale Expectations in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years ago
@daughteroftheking @northerner I would read that too.
OR for SUPER BONUS POINTS, a story where the princess knows her fiance is horrible, but marries him anyways to save the kingdom. It’s almost like Beauty and the Beast, really. Belle offers herself to a likely love-less relationship with a violent man with a quick temper (and she will be stuck…[Read more] - Load More
Completely unrelated. Other Olivia Whites do seem to follow us around, though.
Funny.
We’ve bumped into other Sophia Whites, too — one of them, when we lived in the Cities, went to the same hospital and our records got mixed up once. It’s weird how often that happens.
Oh, and then when people who know us personally call each of us by the other’s name, things get even more complicated in no time.
Uh, yikes. That’s freaky.
What, you and your sister? Do you look similar? That I’m used to. People think my oldest sister Elizabeth and I look incredibly similar (supposedly, we really do, but I don’t think the resemblance is THAT close), and we get called each other ALL the time. People confuse us for twins even. She’s four years older than me.…[Read more]
