*Gaspeth!* how dare you! We came up with that story, and now you are sharing chapters without even telling me!!!! *sobs* 😂

Sendeth me a chapter. Now. Or you may talk it over with my steel. 🤣😂

(not really offended, But you don’t need to know that. XD)

@ellette-giselle

XD I think it’s you. I didn’t remember and had to go back and check, but yeah. You are officially triggered.

Cookie looking siblings,

Oops. Cookie loving. How did I get a typo in a pretyped, typo-less blurb…

@whalekeeper

Ma’am. Please introduce your story in more detail. I am currently working on a whimsy story of fairies, cozy homes, and evil people-eating rabbits. We have a few things in common and I would love to hear about your project.

Hmm, I do see similarities. Okay, here’s the blurb:

Cookie looking siblings, a begrudgingly helpful fairy, a…[Read more]

I’m not in the competition, I just thought Ellette’s comment was funny.

@ellette-giselle

Eh, not in a good long time, and only when my brother was first starting out in it, so to speak. I definitely couldn’t hold my own against a real 14th century knight.

But I’m also learning a lot of medical stuff right now…so I could probably…[Read more]

@theducktator

Book recs?? *Squeals* okay, here’s a few of my favorite whimsy books.

A Place to Hang the Moon by Late Albus

The Ogress and the Orphans by Kelly Barnhill

East by Edith Pattou (this one does get kinda darkish, but as in, it’s a rewrite of a Norwegian fairytale where there are evil trolls who let freeze people to death)

@elishavet-pidyon

AWWWWW!!!!

okay who’s turn is it?

@koshka

@loopylin

I said “likely” (except auto correct said “Lily” Likely IS a word.)

anyways.

but have you all actually been trained to fight with them? 😂

@loopylin

Alrighty! XD And no time pressure. I need to focus on getting a first draft right now anyway, so I’m not asking for scheduled edits or anything. Lol.

Just tried to sort out a title for myself and lapsed into a poetic paragraph reflecting on my self-perceptions. What utter rot. XD I’m not so nice as I think myself. What an uncomfortable, shivery feeling that is.

I am chaos. I am quiet. An echo of sorts. I am that feeling you get when you sneak gummy worms into your dormmate’s sleeping bag. I am…

I’m honestly a bit tired of dark stuff and stories that “deal with hard themes”. We need more silliness and whimsy. The real world is full of it. Maybe we should reflect it more in our writing.

A hundred and ten percent agree. We need more whimsy and light.

@loopylin

Ahhh, me too oOoOO… fairies…..

I was actually just thinking about getting someone to read over the first chapter and prologue and give me feedback. I know it’s got spots that sort of dragged, but I literally just finished that chapter a few minutes ago and so I didn’t want to look at it myself. (Actually trying a new writing habit…[Read more]

@loopylin

Hmm. Welp, I do write poetry, if it can be called that.

Also I have no idea what age group my stories are for when I’m writing them, but I definitely have a few that feel like children’s books so you are not alone :] I don’t have very many externally dark themes in my stories usually that would make it YA.

*Grateful hugs*

It does feel…[Read more]

Other possible titles for anyone who wants one of them. =D

The Optimist Thundercloud

The Local Amnesiac

The Chaos Gremlin

The Exhausted Chemist and or Mixer of Reality

@whalekeeper

 I remember watching it when I was younger and being creeped out. It’s such a fun film.

Why do these two sentences make sense together? Like, why?

Or at least, titling things. I can name stuff all day long. It’s the officially titlely stuff that gets hard. Most of my books aren’t even titled.

For a title for myself, don’t really know that I’ve done anything of great impact here. I do seem to write more children’s fiction than most though (or maybe y’all are keeping secret MG WIPs? *Hopeful smile*). So maybe The Nursery Rhymer, or something. Idk. I’m not very good at naming things.

@ellette-giselle

seeing as I am Lilly one of the few on here who actually owns swords and daggers…. I think I get a fair chance at that title

An interesting thought, madame.

@whalekeeper

Secondary Archivist? Other options could be: annalist (chronicler), scribe, registrar, recorder, chronologer, and custodian of records, according to google.

@keilah-h

This is a splendid idea!

Let’s see what the rabble decide. My two cents are “Dragon Warden” or “Serpent Scholar”.
