Scoutillus Finch

I kinda wanna start a fight with Felicity. Either that or start the next class. Kinda miss the twins.

@ellette-giselle Yeah that makes sense with your photographic memory.

My memory sucks. Wanna trade?

@whalekeeper

Your drawing is soft and sweet, i love it!

@whalekeeper @elishavet-pidyon

That’s interesting. It’s fun learning how other people’s brains work.

Can you picture your family’s faces from different perspectives?

No. I can remember basic stuff like hair and if they wear glasses, of course, but the faces are really hard. At first, I can only remember a picture I drew of my dad once, my mom’s h…[Read more]

@anyone

Here’s a weird thing I realized while reading the portals story and I need to tell someone. Do you guys actually picture your characters’ faces in your minds while you write them to the point where you could recognize them if you met them irl? Because I have no idea how to do that. I can picture details like facial expressions or…[Read more]

Reading everyone’s answers to this question is really fun. I should post answers for my own characters sometime soon.

But, in the meantime, a second question: How long would your character survive the zombie apocalypse?

(The first question is still open for answers, of course)

@grcr

Their story is inspired by Chinese fantasy… so… ancient China… mixed with elements of, like, Japan and Korea… and my own crazy fascinations.

That sounds really cool!

I just finished reading a Brandon Sanderson book that was partially based off of Japan and ancient Korea and I really liked that style of world building.

@elishavet-pidyon I posted a response in my profile because this topic was glitching out really bad earlier

@esther-c Characters still attend class and do normal stuff when their authors aren’t writing for them. They just fade into the background, not freeze in place, lol. Unless you want to write that they were doing something else that whole time.

If you want, I can give you a summary of recent events if you do want to jump back in

@esther-c @keilah-h I bet we can get there before 2026. We just have maybe twoish more class periods and lunch before the dance.

@everyone would people be ok with making classes end early today to give the students time to get ready and to make the dance come quicker? I’m thinking one more class period, lunch, and then one last class.

Lois

“I suppose.” Lois felt his worry go dull, like a voice being muffled in a midwinter snowfall. He let the flakes bury it, and turned back to the science project. He’d check in with Brea before tonight.

After identifying the last mineral, a chalky white crumbly rock, the group looked around to find that they…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon

Did you find it?

@linus-smallprint

Oooh that’s a good idea!!

And I like your ideas too…I feel like that would be really cool if we did something like that

@whalekeeper

I did not make up the minerals, they are real.

Well I’m dumb XD

Still, that’s cool though.

@whalekeeper I am impressed that your worldbuilding has gone as far as making up new minerals for the world. Did you make those up on the spot?

@elishavet-pidyon Whenever I write Dante, I definitely overuse the word “grin” too, lol. Sometimes words just stick i guess

Lois

Lois gave a simple nod. He wrote down something in his class notes, then…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon @whalekeeper

Lois

Lois looked down at the textbook. Corpse crystal wasn’t actually the scientific name given in the book, but, just like fool’s gold was another name for pyrite, Hugo was technically correct.

“And what are you talking about besides that, anyway?”

“Living imaginary friends and little siblings.” Lois put away t…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon

Yeah the challenge is still open for anyone! I have no idea when the characters will be finished if I do draw them, but I’ll try not to take very long. I’d really love to read your short story.
