Ben Gunn and Flare – Group 1, Everstrand edge

“We’ll stick with you Baron,” Flare put his hand on his shoulder.

Ben raised his head from his half-sleep, “Who are we sticking with?”

“Baron.”

“Who?”

Flare pointed at Baron, a little frustrated, “This guy!”

“Oh, okay, I’ll b…[Read more]

Thank you!

Do you guys have a name?

If you can’t tell be the signature at the below 🔽, our name is Anduth.

@raxforge

WIP = Work In Progress

MC = Main Character

Define WIP and MC for… um… @rae, cuz she probably doesn’t know what they mean (I’m just asking cuz I actually don’t know)

YESSS I WANNA WATCH BONHOEFFER SO BAD😭😭😭

I know, right?

Riker Schind, an SS officer, struggles with his conscience as he uncovers the horrific truths behind the regime he serves. Haunted by his past and the role he plays in the suffering around him, Riker’s journey towards redemption is fraught with peril and soul-searching d…

Little things, hidden in big things…Big things, hidden in little things…

Oh. *contented sigh* I love the clincher here!

@freed_and_redeemed

EeEeeeEeeeee!!!!!!

I think I love this book already.

One thing I noticed…if these are Slavic names in Slavic culture, they aren’t quite right. Dmitry Volkova is feminine; Dmitry Volkov is masculine. Even as a surname, I believe the name gender changes, although I’m not sure if Sofiya’s name changes…but I think so. Also,…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

yes!! A girl after my own heart! lol. I am German, so this is really close to me.

Do you speak German?

YES!! I’m just waiting for it to come out!!!

I know!!!

oh I’d love to read it if he’d let me! Do you want to post it here, or do you want my email?

I can post it here.  @freed_and_redeemed You can read it as well! I’d love to hea…[Read more]

How darest thou insult our fuzzy black personage by pelting our pelt with white cloud dust!?

Brin glared at his brothers, Volks tall and strong who should have known better.

“Dah dah, I know. But as I don’t intend to die and be thrown to the sea, it won’t matter, nyet?”

Krazsimir growled, folded his arms. “You’re a loyal volk, Brin, and a fighter. We need you here. We can still turn…[Read more]

@theducktator

I agree with Hybrid and second everything she said. It really depends on what kind of book this is and what age group it’s targeted towards. 11 is probably a lot if it’s something like middle grade fiction. If this is something massive, like, say, the Stormlight Archives, then 11 is more reasonable (though even SA doesn’t have that…[Read more]

the 20s really marked the beginning of people turning away from traditional values, something the USA tried to go back to in the 50s before all fell apart in the 60s…and we’ve just gone downhill from there🤷🏻‍♀️

Better in some ways, a whole lot worse in others.

@whalekeeper

Hiiii 👋🏻 So, I will first say that a lot of my research has been sporadic or else focused on a single specific topic, so I honestly don’t remember a lot of sources I used for a lot of research by this point XD

And most of my research is focused on WW2😅

But each of the decades were really marked by specific things:

The 1910s was…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle I love that idea too!! 🥰

@theducktator

It really depends. Does each MC have their own POV? How long is the series, and what genre is it? Typically a long, multi-book series will have plenty of characters, while a standalone may only have room for a few. (However, Gordon Korman is a big exception to this rule. He writes mostly standalone contemporary MG fiction, but he…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

If it was for an assignment, there’s little hope that it actually stays in my brain. XD

Hm. That is really interesting to think about. I, for one, am glad there are so many viking burials. Especially the ones with ships.

Well, I have pretty much finished a civil war ensemble (all layers ect.) except for boots/shoes and a bonnet…[Read more]

@koshka
I didn’t know about the patent system update, that is really helpful to know… Huh… I did a lot of research on patents a couple years back but all the information disappeared from my brain after I finished the assignment.

Awesome. I’ll start digging this evening.

I’m going to be doing a looooot of digging in the next five months, so I…[Read more]
