*red-faced with embarrassment* Just forget what I said above.

@theshadow

Oops! Sorry, I didn’t mean to tag you in the above one. Are you ready to submit your story?

@savannah_grace2009 @koshka @theshadow

Thank you!!! I will read over them today…and Lord willing, post my feedback tomorrow.

@raxforge

Okay! Thanks for letting me know!

@liberty

I started something, but then I didn’t finish it. Sorry, I’ll just skip this one.

@liberty

Here it is!!!

Wind spiraled frozen fractals and reddened Lainey’s cold-kissed nose.

Every breath crystalized in frozen puffs, and she wrapped her arms around herself, shivering.

The sun sunk beneath the houses across the street, bathing the neighborhood in amber light, and Lainey hugged her knees to her chest as she watched the s…

Here it is either way.

Cobblestones

The boy glanced warily about another smogish street before making his way across. Maribel would be here any minute now, and he needed to be here to see her safely home. That was his side of the agreement. She was always on time, always happy to share a bite of gingerbread and a laugh. His friend.

I have a story to submit, but it’s sort of…shifted a bit, so it doesn’t fit with the theme much anymore. Do you still want it?

@esther-c ha! That’s awesome. I don’t know anyone like that, which is unfortunate cause I’d love to have someone on call to voice act my animations with these characters.

@keilah-h

Haha, true though. 😂

The guys I know can do the accent pretty well though, just cuz they’re so accustomed to it🤪

@esther-c haha yeah I don’t expect every Australian to look like Hunter and Sniper. That would be the most unrealistic assumption ever.

nooo Andrew we aren’t trying to offend you we’re just being girls

(he said his accent is American though so he’s off the hook)

@keilah-h

Lolll 😂😂

The Aussies I know are actually redheads…

(Bro… I wonder if Andrew is stalking our conversation, seeing as he’s an Aussie 🤭)

@theshadow 😆

@theshadow yes! I definitely will!

forgive me for my strangeness btw, it’s 8:40 at night where I am and I’m sitting in a car with nothing else to do.

Hunter, too. He’s in all technicality not from our world, and if he were he’d be from New Zealand, not Australia, but it’s close enough. There are simps for this guy left and right.

Well, the accent is one thing, and another is how we Americans romanticize literally every other country’s inhabitants…..

Take one good look at Sniper and tell me he’s not a prime specimen, and he’s not the only one.

@the_lost-journal lolllll is he French?

@esther-c true, true. Standard Americans don’t have much of an accent. You’ve got the southerners, and a couple of the New York/Massachusetts people have got something, but the vast majority of us, nothin’.

@theshadow

It looks so much better! I love that we got to see their family now. I feel like I know the characters so much better already.

Great, here it is:

Chapter 1

“You ever wondered what it would be like to leave Rosen?” Jack questioned, glancing down at his twin sister.

Elina’s eyebrows shot up, “Why? Do you want to?”
“I don’t know.” Jack replied. “I’ve been thinking about it a lot, though. I mean, it’s kind of weird we can’t leave, what with the wa…[Read more]
