I agree with @rae. It’s a normal cycle. There have been ice ages for crying out loud! I’m not going to say it’s not a problem at all—I’m not well read on this subject—but at this point I don’t think we have to worry about it.

@rae yeah that seems like the best course of action.

now to stop procrastinating and start writing those character bios……

@esther-c Tysm for your advice!! 💖 @rae @koshka @elishavet-pidyon @smiley @keilah-h @savannah_grace2009 @lightoverdarkness6 @whalekeeper @anyone-else

Another Riker scene!! And, finally, a Leon scene😂💖 Because apparently Leon/Riker are still running free in my mind even tho I thought I would take a break from them. XD

@princesachronicle22 I don’t really know.

On the one hand, yeah I feel like using their real names would be easier for everyone else, but on the other I’ve grown so used to calling them by their callsigns in the fanfic that they’re the stars of, I kinda want to use those names here.

I’ll ask everyone else here too, I guess.

@rae

Yes, and after all the entries are posted, we elect 1-3 judges who aren’t doing a story, and they decide upon a winner.

Okay! I plan on doing the music one.

@rae I like what you said about having certain habits.

@whalekeeper Interesting perspective, I hadn’t thought of it like that. I agree with both perspectives though, but for this character there is mostly a reason for why he’s serious.

@linus-smallprint The character’s name is Eldred, and he and his brother Percival are knights. He’s serious and…[Read more]

@rae

Lol my bad, I’m not correcting you! I’m saying a character can have an aura of seriousness and be hiding something, like you said, but they can also be completely honest if the author wants to go in that route. It’s really up to the person.

This might be more of a side thread, but it also helps to know how aware the character is of their own seriousness, and how aware they allow others to be when that seriousness pops up.

For example, the chewing-lip-denial @rae just mentioned suggests the character doesn’t know they are expressive in the first place, or it suggests the character…[Read more]

@rae

Hey, is it okay if I put Sef back in here??

@everyone

Has the dance happened yet??

@rae aww nice little poem! I missed it!

@rae

Whatever It Takes so fits Alpha! I’ve heard it!

@rae

hehe

Violet

The girl stepped back, still reserved. “Violet. Robotics engineer and programmer. Here on a temporary scholarship trip.”

@rae

Fyi she belongs to a mystery story. So she and the rest of her cast are very thorough when it comes to evidence/justice/whatever. ;]

Violet

“It means bringing you to justice for being irresponsible.” Violet raised an eyebrow, and held up the robot. “And I have the evidence to prove you guilty.”

Gage twisted its head around with a mel…[Read more]

@rae

Aw, I like little robot companions! They’re always so cute.

I redesigned her but forgot Gage existed for a while 😂 Originally he was a knockoff of Wall-e, which I won’t hold against my six-year-old self. Wall-e is an amazing movie.

Violet

Violet cocked her head. “And at how many inconvenient times have you scratched that itch?”

When the g…[Read more]

@rae

Coolsies 😛

Violet

“Gage, record.”

The robot’s eyes spun, clicking, and gazed sightlessly at the surrounding lawnscape.

“The experiment was a positive until power failed.” Violet bowed her head, hair falling over her chest. “We’ll try tomorrow. But at least, for now, we can get some key lime pie or something. Forgo any further advan…[Read more]

@rae

Oh, good idea bringing this back!

I might be able to participate if I can fit it in around school work. I hope I can.

@rae

Ooh, this looks fun! Do we just post our stories into this topic?

@rae

I almost said that I’m going to try to do this, but then I would have an excuse to not do it. Sooo… I AM going to do this! It think this prompt will stretch me a little bit, but it sounds fun!
