@emma-flournoy *passes out pancakes. With raspberries*

@aislinn-mollisong Oh wow. Giving Stan the reigns to a dragon story is going to end up dangerous. He’s wanted to be a full-fledged dragon his whole life.

Story 1

Victor had to admit, being a dragon was cool. He could tell as soon Graenw morphed him into the beast how much power was bound inside his scaled limbs, begging to be used. How much…[Read more]

@catwing 😀 Yeah. Stan could climb up with his claws if he wanted, of course, and I ought to encourage him to do so.

Being a dragon, though, he feels he supposed to be able to fly. (Which he kind of is.) Pulling himself up by his claws just isn’t the same as the way other dragons soar above the clouds and dart over fields with the speed and s…[Read more]

@ethryndal *coughs*

Two more kids go on a spoiled teenager’s boat ride to the edge of the earth. They have to sacrifice their pet mouse in the end but get to trade him for a pet lamb. Also they go through some industrial strength smog which is for some reason is out in the ocean, fight a water snake, and disturb a poor old dragon trying to die in…[Read more]

@ethryndal An elf queen? Dumb? Don’t speak of such things. It goes against everything I know about the order of the world. And lately that’s become a rather shaky knowledge…

😀 Ohh. Let’s start counting backwards.

Two kids from a troubled school are sent on a scavenger hunt for a kidnapped boy by a powerful godlike cat, who for some reason…[Read more]

@ethryndal *uses the wind to try to clear your throat* *quails under your glare of righteous death*

“Please, Lady Elf… I’m confused. I never said I didn’t finish Narnia. I said I haven’t read Wingfeather. I read all seven Narnia books when I was seven and eight, no joke. And I’ve reread them a lot since.…[Read more]

@seekjustice Alright 😀

@rochellaine There’s definitely room for that, too. In fact, it would be depressing if every story ended with the hero not solving the problems, but at the same time, I would love to read about it a little bit.

XD 😀 Yeah. It’s tough, with an MC like that in realistic fiction- you can’t just have her want to free her people, or become the next…[Read more]

@rochellaine I understand the problem XD. It’s a compelling prompt, because it’s very real. There’s rarely ever a ‘bad guy’ who wants to destroy the world, and a perfect hero who wants to save it.

@supermonkey42 *joins rant*

I have to agree with you, that the ‘good guy, bad guy’ conflict can sometimes be frustrating. Of course, it’s very simple,…[Read more]

@dekreel  😀 Great installment. I just had to be careful how much I realted to Stan, because as a dragon he’s aware that he should be one of the creatures capable of flying up to get a GIF… but his wings are still rather small

@rochellaine *Tries to cheer you up*

It’s okay. Stan would like to tell you he doesn’t write fantasy either. He writes realistic fiction.

Unfortunately, because Stan is fantasy, his realistic fiction with him as the main character still comes across as fantasy…. MWAHAHAHAHA 😀 😀 😛

@anne-of-lothlorien :D. I need to read Wingfeather, but until then…Narnia: (book 2)

Four kids become king and queen of a park full of endangered creatures by order of an escaped zoo animal, who crowns them because they offended a lady who loves winter so much she could have gotten a business deal with The North Face, but also hates Christmas…[Read more]

@sleepwalkingmk Wow. That is an exceedingly intriguing first bit, and would make an amazing story 😛 😀

@dragon-snapper I’ve actually been struggling with this a lot myself, ever since I started focusing on show-don’t-tell. My sentences are choppy. Like this. To show what a character does. Ike crossed his arms. Kaydon sniffed.

I think the key is to focus on some of the emotions and such, and make them longer than the others. These would  be the…[Read more]

@rochellaine 😀 XD Thanks. Lord of the Rings is ‘Some short guys who really hate jewelry….”

😛

@dekreel 😀 Wow. Dekreel meets Jenna herself. That was really interesting to read

@valtmy 😀 Excellent

@dekreel 😀 I like this idea

Here is Stan’s continuation…

Bessy smiled.

“Look what I made,” she said proudly, eyes glowing. “Don’t you like it?”

Freda took a step back.

“Bessy… what have you done?” she whispered. “What is that thing?”

Freda closed her eyes.

“It’s a thing I made out of rocks,” Bessy said. She shifted the terrible…[Read more]

@daeus XD 😛 It’s my trademark to describe WIPs 😀

*swallows* Okay. Of course, I imagine they wouldn’t to associate with dragons too much anyway, being tree people… at least not proper fire-breathing ones.  Flames around wood, and all
