@ellette-giselle Got it!

@loopylin

You want to go?

Heyy we’ve reached 400 pages! 🎉

HUZZAHH!!!

@loopylin

Where even is Danté?

@loopylin And I didn’t see your post before sending in my last RP. Just assume he didn’t hear her while handing up on Silvia.

@ellette-giselle @keilah-h (is Hunter here?)

Leo

“-just a lab table, nothing important. I don’t even think the teacher is mad at me this time. She even-“

Movement caught the corner of Leo’s sight, a blue of color reflecting off his thermos. He looked up.

A young man stood staring at him from the doorway. Something about the kid made his back…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Go ahead and bring him in!

@loopylin

Absolutely!

@ellette-giselle

No, as long as it hasn’t changed. I already read his. =)

Leo Boltman (Leoron Benneck)

He’s just been hired at the school as a maintenance repairman and electrician. He’s hoping to find a good school for his sister and sort-of-adopted little brother, where they’ll hopefully be safe from *backstory*.

Appearance: Somewhere bet…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Great! Would you like me to repost his description? I have it at the beginning of his book because I’m lazy.

@whalekeeper

And Whaley, if you want interaction I’ll go ahead and do a POV with Silvia.

And, if needed I can repost her description…

(Or is you want I can bring my Elf back around. Inglorion would probably enjoy the attention)

@ellette-giselle

And your soldier boy would probably have fun with Leo or at least one of them would.

*Hands on hips*

Excuse me?!? I was here before there even were such things as RPs here in the Kingdom of Pen, and am quickly nearing the old fogie stage of Keepers! Why, I was one of the first writers in this school, when we decided to remove some chaos from the Castle (which castle I helped build).

*Exaggerated huff*

No offense…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Ah makes sense!

@ellette-giselle @linus-smallprint @keilah-h @grcr

Thank you guys! It was a lot of fun getting to see all the submissions! 🥰

Don’t worry about it @rae !

Ok! Here’s my comments on each one. I’ll post my drawing below.

You got his facial features pretty well, and I really like how the hat has a bit of droop to it lol. It looks…[Read more]

I agree with Elishavet that there were many books that we checked out at the library, read, and returned without a whole lot of impact.

And oh yes, I hated it when a character was embarrassed, but then I hated to be embarrassed myself. I also loved the dangerous parts of books, but I also dearly loved a well finished book. I was also, and still…[Read more]

Ironically, most books that impact me now, are those that impacted me then. We read and enjoyed many books that I no longer remember because they went back to the library and apparently their impact ended there.

Long List of Books/Authors! Skip at will: Saundra Boynton; Little Women; American Girl series and Mysteries; Nancy Drew; The Trumpet of…[Read more]

Now to try and answer your starting questions.

So, what are your thoughts on children’s fiction?

My thoughts? I don’t think there’s room enough to properly answer that question. It would be easier to answer verbally, instead of here. But, in the pith, Children’s fiction, and I mean good children’s writing, is the same as any good writing. There is…[Read more]

Hey @esther-c !

Children’s literature is a precious genre!

Let’s see if I can figure out some answers from my own experience as a very young bookworm and aspiring writer of a children’s novel.

@esther-c

*Stumbles in through window*

Did I hear Children’s fiction? Middle-grade literature?

*Deep if wobbly curtsey*

A writer and reader of all things such as these at thy service.

That dragon is now glaring at me most reproachfully. I don’t think it likes my pencil’s jabbing.
