Thanks! That last word is supposed to be my name, I think. I’m Abby.

@theducktator

Oh that sounds cool! I’ve seen western towhees here, we get owls sometimes too.

Oh yes! I mean I don’t really speak it, but I can read basic stuff okay.

ありがとう is Arigatou, or thank you.

アビイ is Katakana, which is used for words that are foreign in Japan (Like American names). I’m assuming this is a Japanized version of the…[Read more]

My favorite bird I’ve ever seen is probably a Brown Booby. I live in the middle of Indiana, and I’m not sure how this bird got here, but he was at a state park 2 hours from my house, and my parents agreed to take a detour on our way to vacation. It was so cool!!!! And a couple days ago I saw my first Eastern Towhee, so…[Read more]

Next chapter! I’ts been a while since I’ve done two chapters in one week, but I got excited by this one and put off some school. So here you go!

This is the chapter where my book will be redeemed in the eyes of Ellette, Ducktactor, and Stephie. I hope you’re all…[Read more]

@liberty @whoever is in this rp

So…I used to write animal fiction. In fact my first short story (written 2018) was about a jackrabbit and a meerkat. I stopped because it didn’t click for me, but I think I’m going to join anyways. So, sorry in advance if these charries are wobbly, I haven’t told stories about them for probably at least three or…[Read more]

I’m no longer surprised when a character is taken/died. In fact, I was expecting it any time now. That’s not good.

Is it though? I mean sure, in modern storytelling that is a thing to reserve for smacking readers with, but could the fact that no one is safe almost be a shock in in of itself? Maybe I’ve read too much from early church histo…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

thanks so much for this feedback.

im not going to say anything so as not to shed light on which path i take, but i will say that it was extremely helpful knowing your thoughts.

thanks again!

@ellette-giselle

Okay. So you are coming off as a little cold-hearted, but there is something this section did for me that you may be all right with.

This section established the fact that no one is safe.

Protagonist, side-character, mentor, or any of them could suddenly be captured and killed. There is no plot armor. I thought before that you…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

Why was I expecting this to be something positive?

You should know me better than that.

It kind of made the event feel like a slap. (Ouch. I’m feeling Josephs pain.)

Perfect! That’s exactly what I wanted.

It also feels more tragic because of how casually Eric and Asher headed out. It was just a normal day.

Ah yes. Poor b…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Something was about to happen that would change everything.

Why was I expecting this to be something positive? It kind of made the event feel like a slap. (Ouch. I’m feeling Josephs pain.) Unless I misunderstood what this event ended up being?

@hybridlore

Drat.

KP isn’t letting me know that y’all responded!

Grrr.

Hmm, it looks like I really stirred it up around here. lol.

@ellette-giselle

Ha! I got it right!

😢😢 Please tell me Eric and Asher don’t die too. There is too much death in this book. 😭

Oops! I fathom ya’ll be the wrong people folk!

NEXT SECTION

Sorry it’s so short.

Joseph woke. For a long moment he lay, trying to figure out what was happening and where he was. He had been so exhausted he didn’t even remember lying down. There was an odd sound, a sound he knew he had heard many times be…

Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life.

~J.R.R. Tolkien.

@ellette-giselle

You shouldn’t kill them because they don’t deserve it.

And it’d be very uncalled for.

And because I really like them.

(I am reading—I’ve caught up and all—I just don’t really have anything to say.)

@grcr

Oh.

Wow.

I didn’t even know you were reading.

Hmmm.

Why shouldn’t I kill them?

@ellette-giselle

Please, please, please don’t kill Eric or Asher! I will be very sad if you do. I will sue you.

@power

I’m sorry, what?
