Awesome! Ok, my character is Noa Montero, a seventeen-year-old apprentice pilot.

@theducktator

Yay! I’m not the only high schooler who still trick or treats! What are you going to be? I’m going as a flapper.

Oh wow, that is such a good idea. O.O I’m going as the princess Hornet from Hollow Knight.

@the_lost-journal

I’m sorry you worried – you do not need to, I assure you! 😁 It can sometimes feel like things are slowing down for good, but usually people are just busy in real life. This forum is not one of those forums which has slowed down since it began, fortunately. Lots of people are active right no even if they aren’t posting…[Read more]

@theducktator

Thanks!! I almost have to change it now, haha. Same!! They are SO good. I just reread the whole series and started the Chronicles of Avonlea, which I’ve never read before. Which ones have you read?

(Rilla of Ingleside is so sad!! 😭)

@freed_and_redeemed

Thank you!!

@ellette-giselle
Is Collins saying we should all act like Darwinist survivors tho? Just because Katniss has a traumatized survivor mentality, doesn’t mean Collins thinks it’s a good thing.
I thought the evil government was about:

Desensitization – – – – dehumanizing others (the birth of the Hunger Games) – – – – now children are traumatized and…[Read more]

Ok, Chapter 11. It was good. I liked seeing Nahim with the guys and Mandin haha. There was a lot of unconsciousness and Nahim not responding to people, but I get that (a) they’re fighting spiders that make you fall asleep and (b) Nahim has some issues with talking to other people. Those were my main thoughts. Overall, great job!

@ellette-giselle

Gotcha

 it’s all about doing whatever you must to survive. Then we have covid, and what happens? Americans make compromises with their freedom that should never have flown all in the name of survival

Yeah totally. A text, especially something that can be sloppy around the edges (like Hunger Games), can negatively affect the cu…[Read more]

Thanks!! 😁

@mineralizedwritings

Also, have you heard of Kara Swanson? Random, but she’s a great fantasy author who also happens to have Lyme disease. She wrote Dust and Shadow and her new book that just came out was Ignite.

@ellette-giselle

Yeah I’m not a huge fan or critic of Hunger Games. A lot of the appeal for teens is drama/gore thrill, but to just dismiss it because the protagonist has an overwhelming survivor mind defeats the point of her character. You feel me?

@ellette-giselle @freed_and_redeemed @keilah-h @anyone-interested

New moodboard for Sara Bauer, the main character in my 2nd WIP:

She has synesthesia and is a budding writer/journalist. Her story takes place in dystopian (2090s) Denver

@rae

So sorry I missed that! I’ll check back up on it and give you some feedback asap.

@jonas I’m in!

@rae

Oof. I feel you a bit girl. My Dad has chronic Lyme’s. My big brother had to go to Mexico when he was two to take an experimental Lyme’s treatment to save his life. Thankfully it worked for him.

That’s crazy. And what makes a chronic illness even more detrimental is how the effects trickle down to different members of the family, whether phy…[Read more]

XD you mean me?? I guess I can sheepishly take that title 🤗

*Stitches the title into a cap and puts it on your head*

Hey that’s not what I meant! 😂 I meant I wanted a update on how much you are enjoying gravity falls, not that you needed to update to a new show! Have you finished? Is it still really good? What’s your fav…

Girl the line art texture, I just can’t 😶🤯

@ellette-giselle

Cool discussion on 50 Shades, I’ve been exploring the 2010s romance/dystopia through video essays for some time now, and that was one of them. What a freak of nature. XD I’m disappointed with Wilson’s take on Hunger Games though, just read an article on his opinion and it was very shallow. Wilson is one of those people I have…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

Auugh, that’s annoying. 50k is so close! lol. Thanks for the tip! I will try to implement it and see if it helps 😉

Thanks! Yeah, it’s the best. I will definitely! And yeah, actually, that’s something I really need to flesh out more, so if you’re up to it, I might tag you for some brainstorming help sometime. 😊

@mineralizedwritings

Of course!

Yeah, I get that. It sounds like a good strategy though because I tend to get burnout about 15k in and then end up stopping. 😔 Maybe once I get my side one going I’ll try that.

Here’s the main one! XD

Noa Montero has spent half her life traveling on her pilot father’s starship, the Annora, across the Feder…[Read more]
