@daeus  BTW I am sorry if that GIF made you feel uncomfortable in any way. I’ll restrain myself from now on XD

@rochellaine  I know! That was my reaction, too X/

@clairec  @notawriter  @graciegirl  @jenwriter17  @epicaddie2  Thank you all! 😀

Claire — Umm…. I’m going to see how comfortable Daeus is first… X)

@Jenwriter17 as Princess said, some of the elements are fairly generic with the dystopian genre. Evil government and Outcasts are common features, BUT that doesn’t mean you can’t use it. I definitely say you can still do this well if you have your own aspect and take on the situation and use your own style to make the story unique and different.

@rochellaine, Yep! XD Sorry about that!

@dekreel… *softly* Wow…. can we get some more of these? Also, great look @daeus. *cackles*

@notawriter  I still got a notification when you tagged me.  It just didn’t go green for some reason.  🙂

@dragon-snapper That’s fine. 🙂

To clarify though, it doesn’t have to be an author you know. It could just be one you read.

@daeus Yeah….. no.

I don’t really know that many authors. Haven’t been to any conferences really–one local teen one–but otherwise… not yet. XD I’ll let you know if I can think of any.

Alright, KeePers, Josiah recommended I contact some published authors about this survey. I’m going to ask if they want to see the results when they come out and maybe if they want to share it with their audience too.

I’ve got a few authors in mind, but I don’t know a tone of authors. Any you can think of who might be interested in…[Read more]

Oooh  I just looked more closely at the second picture.  Kiiiitttttyyyy!  What’s his/her name?

@notawriter  I totally feel you on drawing the mouth ten times…except it’s usually noses with me.  🙂

Awww you’re so sweet!  But you are too modest.  You’re drawing is brilliant!  I love the sprigs of greenery.  🙂 🙂 🙂

@jenwriter17  It sounds really cool!

The only thing cliche I see about it (putting it next to the video on Dystopian novels) is the fact that the main character is a teenage girl

I’m no expert on the Dystopian genre, so I might be worng…

But still, I would read it 😉

@jenwriter17  She was super fun to do!  🙂

@notawriter

You know you’re a kapeefer when you spend a ridiculous amount of time trying to think of a kapeefery thing that you do (That hasn’t already been said!) and then feel bad because you couldn’t

Well, you invented the word “Kapeefery!” That’s something XD

You know you’re a Kapeefer when all of a sudden you start loving the name Josiah…[Read more]

You know you’re a bookworm when you try to find themes in everything, not just books

Sorry, I didn’t wait for permission to draw Rin, buuuuut…here she is!  I think her hair is a little too dark.  *shrugs*  Hope you like her!

@daeus  I know — It’s creepy  *rubs head* X)

@notawriter  I did actually consider that! I’ll leave it to someone else to add the raspberries

@perfectfifths  Oh, my indeed 83

@dekreel Oh my! XD

@jess-penrose Yes–that looks great! Depending on the plot/genre of your story, it may be interesting to also have an answer that you can lose your right to freedom if it’s for the greater good of society. (I’m thinking of times of crisis where citizens or soldiers may be coerced to do things because otherwise the nation may be overrun.) That sort…[Read more]

@jenwriter17  Would you mind very much if I attempted Rin also??  She looks super fun to draw…pretty please?  🙂
