Melissa Thompson 

Mel’s great aunt Tina had several strange and interesting  things in her backyard. She was what Melissa’s mom called a “hoarder”. She had always said it like it was a bad thing, but Mel liked that word. It made her think of dragons and piles of hidden treasures.

She stood before one of those treasures now. It was a tall wood…[Read more]

@theducktator I’m going to add a second character in a few minutes, so if you want, there’s someone Ayla can meet

@keilah-h

Felicity

“…Planet?” Felicity’s mind spun as she tried to process everything she just heard. She had hoped finding out where Huntress was from would help figure out where they currently were. Instead she was just more confused.

She felt her frustration bubbling up again, and she pushed it back down, forcing herself to take a deep…[Read more]

The Protector—Gabriel

Gabriel sighed. The night seemed peaceful so far. No direwolf howl, only one monster attack, and as long as they avoided the purple vines and didn’t climb the walls, they didn’t have to worry much so far. He watched Cassius’s and Leander’s sleeping forms, wondering about childhood. After a c…[Read more]

The Protector—Gabriel

Gabriel’s eyes drooped under his mask. As Barnes spoke, he started awake. “Do whatever.” He turned his back to Barnes and the other sleep two, taking off his mask and punching himself in the face to wake up. He couldn’t fall asleep. He didn’t trust the maze, and he also didn’t trust that L…[Read more]

ugh KP signed me out as I went to post, no!

The Protector—Gabriel

“Relax.” Gabriel adjusted his position, sitting with his legs crossed. “Inhale…hold it…exhale. Calm down your heart rate, it’s distressing you.”

Gabriel avoided Barnes’s question purposefully. What would everyone think if they knew his real age? Maybe they wouldn’t care, or they’d never r…[Read more]

@hybridlore I’m available the 24th and 31st, but I’m not sure about the 7th yet. I can do Saturday mornings, but afternoons are better for me since I’m 3 hours behind everyone. That would also give @mineralizedwritings the chance to join too if she wants to and is feeling up to it.

Have you ever given a charrie of yours a weird mannerism that you have yourself?

A few of my charries like to sleep in a fetal position, or curled up around a pushie or blanket. And Gabriel stretches similar to a cat. Mannerisms I sometimes have.

The Protector—Gabriel

The scent of the smoke invaded Gabriel’s nostrils. It sickened him, but he remained silent, listening to Cassius’s talk about pleasure. Internally, he wondered if happiness and pleasure were different, and if they were, how were they different. A small plop sound woke him from his thoughts. H…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

How did the doctor visit go?

The Protector—Gabriel

Gabriel hesitated, before sitting on the stone, bringing his knees up to his chest. He tensed at the slightest noises, eyes darting to where Cassius and Leander slept. “Uh… so do you want me talk like the Protector, or like…my other persona? Or just not talk at all.”

@jonas I’d love to join! I do have a summer job (lunch break rn), so I’m not sure how much time and energy I’ll actually have, but I would really love to have other people pushing me to get writing done.

I’ll have a hard time picking which story to work on though.

I’ll see if I have time. I have rowing to do, plus I’m looking into getting a job this summer as well as taking the first steps to getting my driver’s permit since I’m turning 16 end of July and would like to get my permit as soon as possible. If I have time, I’d be interested!

Not sure what I’d write yet though…

@esther-c

Hiiii Esther! I just saw this!!!
I have a critique for Easton’s character arc.

You’ve been having him do all these things for Tyler, and having him trying to encourage Tyler.

Do you mean to have him come off as kind of distant and cold? like Shadow said, he feels really impersonal.

What I mean is, in your book are you trying to show…[Read more]

The Protector—Gabriel

“Yes, my birthmarks aren’t a mental illness, but that doesn’t mean that people don’t hate me, or judge me. If I was not the Protector, if I didn’t wear the mask, if I didn’t hide the birthmarks, I would have been killed by the people I protect everyday.” Gabriel clears his throat again, v…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings Oh gross I didn’t know they could be that bad. I used to pick up slugs all the time as a kid to take them out of the garden. (I washed my hands afterwards of course.)

@whalekeeper

Is Marcel here? Because if he is, he might get pelted with apologies from Chase

@loopylin @ellette-giselle @whalekeeper

Well, I guess it’s a go for finalizing the sketch and then coloring it. I have a few coloring choices I’m deciding on. I might add a starry backdrop, and make his hair silver, or just do like it’s daytime. That’s why the top part of the page is devoid of anything at the moment.

Tbh, after an experience…[Read more]

The Protector—Gabriel

“So it wasn’t a flippant reason after all. That’s surprising.” Gabriel’s voice sounds young again. His hand moves towards his own mask, hesitates, then slightly dislodges it. A small sliver of skin showing a small cluster of strange birthmarks on his jaw, could be seen. He shows them to C…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Real.
Ok but actually that’s part of how I got diagnosed with autism. I was writing Ellie so much and realizing how much I related to her, and at the same time noticing how many autistic traits she had. So I started getting suspicious and researching it and then I finally asked my doctor and now here I am.
