Accidentally scared any possible friends away with my thinking face. XD

XD You get ‘em, girl.

Just checking you do have friends, right? Just checking. Because I would be surprised if you didn’t, and very sad.

Also you went to, like, real school? I’ve only been in a homeschool group.

@loopylin

XD  No. It’s a Disney cartoon that has just two seasons. It has fun characters and a really well planned out story with a good ending.

Good to know.

It also has a really weird sense of humor which I really enjoy, but I’m a bit strange so…

That’s the best kind of humor XD

No 🙁  I only saw the first before we got rid of Netflix

@savannah_grace2009 I’m so glad she’s feeling better!

@rae I’ll be praying as well! I’m glad you were able to get on a medication to help!

@esther-c

LOL I love that XD. Yeah, siblings are so much fun to write

@loopylin

I remember being confused when my old school friends had crushes on very annoying, trouble making boys in our class.

XD And people tease you about looking at boys or talking about them, and you are genuinely confused because you obviously don’t feel that way.

@loopylin

I think people tend to forget that humans are irrational. We don’t always do things that make sense. So writers try to rationalize their characters’ bad behavior by giving them tragic backstories.

(Maybe? Idk, just a theory)

Right. Someone I was talking to was like, “there always has to be a reason!” And I’m like, “uh, sinful natu…[Read more]

@loopylin

Like Gravity Falls! (Have you seen it? It’s the best) You never even see the parents’ faces.

Oh, like with the Peanuts? I haven’t watched it, but I might now that you’ve recommended it. Hilda became a hit in our household, and I was watching it a couple nights back when I first got sick, trying to catch up XD Off topic, but did you see…[Read more]

@loopylin

I also like emphasizing in my stories the fact that people don’t need trauma or terrible tragedy in their lives in order to struggle with sin. Everyone has problems to overcome, even Average Joe with his calm, happy, suburban childhood.

YES, this. I’ve tried to explain this to some people and they don’t get it for some reason.

@loopylin

Aw ❤️

Uh, not me.

🤣 Okay okay, that would be me too! I meant hypothetically, if a girl was open to dating, those things wouldn’t push her away.

@loopylin

I don’t think so. I’ve watched a lot of shows where you’re just thrown into what the characters are doing right now, and sometimes the backstories come in later, but it’s not a big deal. It’s endearing because the present is what’s important, not the past. Plus some stories shouldn’t try to be “deep” because they are all about the smal…[Read more]

I’m going into this topic completely blind other than reading the first post, so um, yeah, let’s see how this goes XD

YES I’M LATE XD

Of course a character’s backstory is going to influence their perspective on life. Absolutely. And writing them is so fun – the funnest thing ever.

Personally though, I’ve seen a pile of characters where the…[Read more]

@rae

Ngl, I think you should be asking, what girl would not want to date him? XD Like realistically, yes those tendencies would be hard to handle, but you can’t say they aren’t attractive to the modern teenage girl, or to a fantasy girl for that matter.

@loopylin @whoeverelsewishedmewell,iseeyou

Thank you, I am feeling better this morni…[Read more]

Avoiding this roleplay for a few days to survive strep and absolutely no sleep. I’ll pick up where we left off after that 🙂

@beth-torres

Sounds good! Yeah, let’s just try to stay updated and maybe someone can post the number of chapters we’ll read to each week? I would say 3 chapters per day will work in general, but you’re right, it definitely depends on the book.

@grcr @beth @mineralizedwritings @esther-c @walkbyfaith

So this week, read until Genesis 22, I think?…[Read more]

@rae

Ohhh, my bad. That makes sense!

@freedomwriter76

Awww, that’s so sad! 😭 The parallelism is really cool though.

@rae Ooh, that’s a great fear for a villain! Very relatable

@savannah_grace2009 Ooh, this is really interesting! Haha, I noticed that about @scoutfinch180 too, it was very thorough!

@esther-c

Ooh, it sounds so cool! Yeah, that’s a good way to get information, XD. A mystery-type thing would be cool! I don’t have too many ideas right now, but I would love to read it if you end up posting pieces later!

@esther-c

What’s the plot for their story like? Is it dystopian, fantasy, realistic?
