@clairec Hi :D, and welcome to the bestistest—- oh wait, you already know that XD
I’m new on here, too. At least, when you were on here last, I wasn’t here.
I’m a fantasy writer, and I have a dragon sidekick named Stan. 😀
What kind of things do you like to write?

@clairec Was Frances Hodgson Burnett the one who wrote Little Women? The name sounds familiar…
Are you Australian?

@catwing Of course, only ones that are unfortunately…already passed on.
I know. Stan loves science, though. He doesn’t even care about the more squeamish aspects. (Being a dragon and all, ya know.) He wants to be a dragon biologist, part time, when he’s not being the most fearsome dragon in the world.
XD Well, I was going to break the news to…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper Heheh I’m like that!
@sam-kowal Gotta write it somewhere XD
You know you’re a writer when you want to write about the back-stories of inanimate objects.

@dragon-snapper XD Wow. That is SO funny. Like, ‘so’ does not even cut it. GAAH XD XD
*starts laughing maniacally*
How have I not found this thread? It’s a crime of Fate that I haven’t been here
You know you’re a writer when you start outlining your next story on the margins of the book you’re supposed to be working on for school.

@clairec!!!! Hi!!!! I’m so glad to see you!!!!!
No, we haven’t met yet. I’m Dekreel! Nice to meet you! *tries not to dig claws into your hands as I shake it*
Sometimes I look through the archives and think, “What ever happened to those guys? I really miss them!” Even though I had never met them. So yeah, that’s why I’m so excited to see you XD…[Read more]

@catwing I suppose… for those indisposed towards that sort of thing… a suitable model, made of plastic or rubber, may be used. They did need to look at something to make the original model, though….
XD 😀 😀 I didn’t tell Stan about the class. Even though technically, he’s the one teaching it

You know you’re a Kapeefer when you go to the library and see a book called Keeper and you think to yourself, “They spelled Kapeefer wrong.”

@photobloggergal 😀 Nice to have you back here
Stan the dragon has been wanting his photo taken, but I keep telling him that that’s… not really possible over the internet
I wanted to tell you, too, @emily and @shannon are taking a hiatus from Kingdom Pen for awhile, because I saw that you had come back. So don’t be alarmed if you can’t find…[Read more]

Sam Kowal replied to the topic How do we define "worth" when there is no actual God figure in the story? in the forum Mission, Calling & Ethics 8 years, 8 months ago
@livgiordano This can be tough. It’s quite possible, though. The book of Esther in the Bible actually never mentions God by name, at all, in the entire book. But it’s still in the bible. So in way, its very similar to what you might be trying to do.
This thread might help you…[Read more]

@livgiordano 😀 Pure Starlight sounds really intriguing. Nice use of ‘Caelum’ to represent a kingdom in the heavens or the skies, by the way. Do you use Latin words often?
I love fantasy, too :D! All of my writing projects right now are fantasy, and it’s my favorite genre. Always nice to have another fantasy fan on here. And yeah, fantasy is…[Read more]

@livgiordano That’s okay — not a lot of people here watch TV 🙂 My favorite is Doctor Who.
I like movies, too! What’s your favorite? Mine issss…. I have several, all of which are animated. Inside Out, Home, Despicable Me, Finding Dory, and probably a few others that I’m going to head-desk over because I forgot it.

@supermonkey42 Light, electricity, and magnetism is a cool idea. 😀
@warrioroftherealm There’s also things like basing your elements on the real periodic table, which would make things a lot more limited. ( Power over, say, gold alone would create some really interesting circumstances for someone to use that power, versus power over all earth…[Read more]

WELCOME TO THE BESTEST PLACE IN CYBERSPACE!!! I’m so glad you’re here 😀
And now for my trademark question: What are your favorite books and TV shows (sorry of these questions have already been asked….)

@jane-maree @seekjustice The Reckoners!
*Stan does a happy flail*
I didn’t even think of those as sci-fi, I always considered those superhero-action (if that’s even a real genre. It’s not.) XD
I love those, books, though. I hope someday Brandon writes one more book with David in it, although I don’t think he’s planning on lengthening that…[Read more]

@warrioroftherealm I feel like they are, because they pop up over and over again. They’re a trope, but they aren’t an obnoxious one. You can do so many things to change them up and make them unique, that it becomes interesting again.
But yeah, just straight-up ‘this hero controls fire, this one ice’ is somewhat boring. There’s a seed of epicness…[Read more]
