Rina —— Elderstrand (river)

The group came to a halt at the edge of a flowing body of water. It was a few hundred feet to the buildings on the opposite side. “This way!” Fleet shouted, running along the river to the right. “The dock is this way!”

They continued to run. Rina could no longer hear the Ironwalkers, but the…[Read more]

@grcr

Look at Whaley’s post above. I think she forgot you’re with us.

@the_lost-journal

Because your characters remind me a lot of that book. I was wondering if that’s where you got your inspiration. I think you would enjoy it.

Joy

So apparently there were instruments around here. Silvanis and Fairy had each found one. Joy didn’t recognize Fairy’s, but Silvanis’ appeared to be a piano. Fairy began to play, and Silvanis joined in. Joy leaned forward. Their music sounded like nothing she had ever heard…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

Greetings! I’m now here to officially introduce myself! I think everyone else covered what was currently happening here.

I am The Ducktator, also known as Abigail, and ruler of a vast ducktatorship. Currently, my fearsome army of tiny ducks and I are trying to conquer the world! I am 15, homeschooled, and a writer of…[Read more]

@keilah-h Sorry this took so long. I was on a trip, and then I had to catch up on school.

“So there are, in fact, enemy soldiers about like you assumed,” said Mr. Crosshair. “Fortunately, they seem to be pretty brainless, so as long as we avoid being in their direct line of sight we should be fine.”

That sounded boring. Besides, if we av…[Read more]

@hybridlore

If you want to talk about this more, we should move the conversation so it isn’t spamming this topic. 😅

@hybridlore

Do words really change color for you when you read them, or do you read it in black ink but see it in your head as colored?

Acchhh this is extremely difficult. I believe my grapheme-color is somewhere in between association and projection. I was never confused as a child about how the letters were made with multiple colors, I knew they…[Read more]

@rae @raxforge @ellette-giselle

Our characters are right next to yours, see below.

@jonas @hybridlore @loopylin

Marcel — Elderstrand (w/Ellis, Fel, Sara)

The four travellers tried to look inconspicuous in the dark. Their soaked clothes mostly blended in with the background. Marcel noticed Felicity’s bright hair, and motioned for her to shove…[Read more]

@the_lost-journal

Have you, by any chance, read The Sinking City by Christine Cohens?

@linus-smallprint

Like I said, my mind was in a weird place. Specifically in the place of a reader snacking on some yogurt-covered pretzels.

Ew.

Honestly, I have always found those things rather nasty. They taste like artificial sweetener. Or at least the ones I’ve had always do.

You can post every couple of days. I can go over a couple of…

@esther-c

Yes, I’m definitely praying for the election.

Thankful our God is sovereign and in control, no matter what ✨

I’ve found A Mighty Fortress a good song for today, precisely because of that. Delete the space at the beginning of the link.

Ilahna —— Elderstrand (w/ Klethen and Everett)

Ilahna ran blindly, following Klethen’s form in the dark ahead. She couldn’t manage a song while running, so she had no way to sense if anyone was nearby.

She could tell by sound, however, that the armored creatures were still behind…[Read more]

@the_lost-journal

(I wasn’t sure if your characters ended up following or not, so I just avoided mentioning it either way.)

Rina —— Elderstrand

“Where…are we going?” Rina panted as the group ran on.

“The city is being locked down,” Fleet responded. “We won’t be able to get through any of the gates. So, we’re heading for the river. We…[Read more]

@whalekeeper @loopylin @hybridlore

Ellis —— Elderstrand (w/ Marcel, Felicity, Sara)

Ellis nodded. “Let’s go. Quick!”

The group slipped into the alley and waited in silence as the soldiers neared the street.

“Spread out!” someone shouted. “They must be here somewhere.”

Ellis gripped his sword tight, prepared to silence the first person who…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Look, if anyone picks up the series at book two, they deserve to be confused. *shrug*

I have a friend with the same mindset. Alcatraz Smeadry will probably approve heartily!

WHAT? That doesn’t even fit with the period!!!

Like I said, my mind was in a weird place. Specifically in the place of a reader snacking on some y…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

Wonderful!

I love that musical so much.

@linus-smallprint

Look, if anyone picks up the series at book two, they deserve to be confused. *shrug*

If there’s any recap I’ll put a little in the Blurb on the back. But otherwise, what’s here is what they get.

Good Grief! Book two for nine year olds! NO WAY! It is so dark!

I’m a little torn. I think most of the conversation you have i…

@keilah-h

Hey, thank you so much for this!

Yes, that’s exactly what I’m trying to do, and I’m so glad you can see that! Makes me so happy!!!
