@rae oh that’s hilarious lol

and trust me the version of him in the RP is a little toned down. probably because he’s got somebody doing that exactly.

@whalekeeper yep there’s my boy Mundy lol, forgot you were technically writing him for a fic

(yeah that’s his actual name, I’ve referred to him by it before)

he’s not forty, actually, there’s…[Read more]

@rae

I really like it! Mandin and Nahim’s relationship is probably my favorite part. I enjoyed reading it a lot. Please tag me when you have more chapters finished ☺️

@rae

Thank you for posing the other side, Rae 😌

But the purpose of a Christian is to “go into all the world and preach the Gospel”, to be a light in darkness, and writing is a way we can do that! It is a command from Jesus Himself to preach the Gospel, so shouldn’t we be using the talents and means God has given us to obey that command? Shoul…

I can say, with a 100% certainty that Aragorn was NOT meant as an sorta Jesus figure, or to represent anything in Christ.

Really? Does a character have to be perfect to be a Christ figure?

@whalekeeper @rae yeah I wasn’t saying Aragorn and Smalls were SPECIFICALLY designed to be Jesus archetypes, but the sheer fact that they are the good kings that win out over evil and take their thrones in the end means the writers were at least influenced by their worldview.

I mean, non-Christian authors do kinda the same thing sometimes, but…

@keilah-h @rae

I kind of agree… with both of you 😅

Ummmm I think Aragorn was not meant to be a Christ figure, but JRRT used some traits that happen to overlap.

When we meet Aragorn, he hides in the shadows, always watchful,
but rather quiet and mysterious, preferring to not make himself known. We’d
almost think him a little timid if we didn’t…

@rae

True. But it was a great picture all the same

@rae

In a shorter sentence, you like the drawing itself, but it looks nothing like Friedrich.

it looks kinda like him………….:D

@rae Oooh it goes right into the action!

Here’s some feedback for the first chapter:

“He lost it after his battle from earlier, from which he’d gained the wound on his neck.”

I don’t know why, but mentioning the neck wound here feels rather abrupt. I’d think maybe move any mentions of his injuries to the part where talking about his jaw…[Read more]

@rae I don’t have a job…..?

@rae

I’m not very good at critiquing (at all) but I can still read them and give any feedback I can. Sometime. Probably not today ’cause I have work.

@rae

I have work today, but I’ll try to read this as soon as possible!

@rae awesome!! I’ll do it tomorrow for sure!

@rae  @linus-smallprint @grcr @mineralizedwritings @keilah-h

Okay y’all! Here I go.

So one thing would be Friedrich is not left-handed, but I never specified that so that’s on me. His hair isn’t quite a wavy as I pictured, but otherwise he’s pretty spot on. I like the boots, though not quite the style I was thinking of either. Your shadin…[Read more]

@rae

Alright then!!

@rae

Am I getting an updated drawing from you, or would you like to use the one you already submitted?

@rae

So, as I said, I’m just debating the opposite side from you, so I most likely do not believe what I’m saying.  In fact, I’m personally more inclined to agree with your side.

Alriiiiight *cracks knuckles* Hopefully this makes sense (:-P)

I agree that sometimes a gospel storyline can feel forced when added randomly into a plot, but it just h…

@rae

Oh, also, I’m gonna ask someone to stop us if we get too heated. I have a tendency to do this when I really get the ball rolling. ellette-giselle If Whaley agrees, would you mind?

Yes, I can kill this if I need to, though it looks like so far y’all have kept your heads. lol

@rae @whalekeeper @mineralizedwritings I love how we can all peacefully discuss our different opinions on this💖

Y’all are the best  : )

I agree with you, Min! Writing God in a story is difficult, and it makes it even harder depending on the genre you write. I don’t think all books have to have God be explicitly stated or mentioned or even…[Read more]
