Oh boy. Ok, this will be fun.

@liberty

YesYesYesYesYes!

My sister and I reverted to eleven year-olds the moment we found out. The amount of happy dances since then has been Citadel of Dreams worthy.

We have effectively spread the Natalian infection to multiple people in our church, and hopefully this next book will bring more loyalties. I feel like a Seventh Districter.…[Read more]

Mom: “Don’t forget you O’s”

Me: “I won’t forget my O’s! If i was to forge my O’s what kind of person would I be?!”

Mom: “A nut?”

Me: “YES!”

Mom: “You already are a nut!”

Me: “Cranberries cranberries cranberries cranberries cranberries cranberries cranberries!” Et cetera

Mom: “Of course her cranberries will come to Ruth when she calls.”

Oh, don’t make me cry…Poor Hans.

I need to write a fanfic one day in which Hans lives! it has to happen!

@kielah-h

like in Freedom’s Fire you see him as mostly heartless and cruel, but in all the other books he is more humanized–he has a brother, he has a family, he has reasons for why he did what he did. Not that the…

(Come to think of it, if you enjoyed this snippet of my worldbuilding you might enjoy my full on WIP I “borrowed” these characters for, I don’t think I’ve ever shown it to you specifically. It’s a junkpile but it’s at least a semi-coherent story and much cleaner than many works I’ve caught glimpses of in the fandom.)

I’m game! I think…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Well of course I’m reading it. XD

Ooooffffff I knowwwww. Hurting the poor babies hurts us too…

A threat?

…

Hmmm…

@ellette-giselle

I think you can go ahead and give the prompt whenever you want.

And I vote for one word. It makes things so much more interesting in my opinion.

@rae

Yay! Congratulations, @ellette-giselle !

This has been so much fun. If we do it again, count me in!

@raxforge @ellette-giselle @elishavet-pidyon @calyhuge @liberty @keilah-h

The results are in!

Note: I’m listing these in no specific order to give you all my thoughts

Liberty: First of all, I love your style. I think I’ve read one other thing of yours before, but I don’t remember being blown away by the word choice like I was with the first…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Okay! I finally got to read through this so far. Here’s my thoughts:

1) Joseph is a dear little boy who might need to be protected from his author.

2) You tend to rely a little heavily on Telling over Showing. For instance, you saying he is struggling with nightmares is unnecessary, since I can see that well enough from his POV…[Read more]

@loopylin

That’s so much fun!

@ellette-giselle

Yep.

Wait a minute.

@ellette-giselle

That is awesome. I wonder if our ancestors fought with, or against each other… XD

Alrighty, I finally finished reading through all of your stories for the first time. I’m gonna read through them again and then give you my thoughts, so hopefully you’ll have the results by this afternoon.

Baron (Brutus)—with Group 1, Elderstrand edge

Brutus sighed. “If he calls for help, I will not hesitate to answer, but you must all go on. He is fighting so you can get a head start running, don’t waste it. I’m staying here to make sure he’s alright.”

@calyhuge

because girls think stuff is gross that guys think is funny

Oh…that honestly makes sense.

I’ll give you my thoughts when I give it to everyone else, but I think you’ll be surprised. I’m a farm girl, I’ve seen some gross things.

Baron(Brutus)—With Group 1, Elderstrand edge

Brutus nodded, even though he knew the strain on him would probably temporarily cripple him.

He lifted Leon from where he lay on the other rooftop first, bringing him back over to their group. He was still out cold, and…[Read more]

@calyhuge

I did think it was funny. I also thought it was gross. Quite gross. Grossly gross. But it was funny.

Still wondering how y’all come up with stuff like that though.

@calyhuge

I wish this forum wasn’t mostly girls

Uh…okay. Out of the blue but okay. I don’t understand how that relates to your story but okay.

@ellette-giselle

Yes, usually I do.
