@trahia-the-minstrel Haha, that meme is quite true. I love the author’s works a lot, especially Silver Spoon.
The Promised Neverland has some horror elements (spoiler: it’s basically about a bunch of kids that raised on farms to be eaten by monsters) and it does get gory at times. The manga is much better than the anime. I haven’t watched the…[Read more]

@koshka Hey there! Late welcome to our Kingdom of Pen! I’m usually one of the early greeters but I don’t think I’ve welcomed anyone in a long time due to school, hhh…
I’m Linyang, but everyone here calls me Lin, and I enjoy writing crime and fantasy. I was homeschooled as well, and I did a ton of Bible quizzing as a kid. Honestly, I can totally…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon What about you? What are you currently working on?

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic Our Book Premises Nerd Space in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 11 months ago
@elishavet-pidyon I’ll do this for my current WIP so I can better write it. Thanks for asking me stuff!
My main character is Joey Garcia, a 24 year old worker at a store. I think his struggle throughout the book is to find reason to do something as well as how best to convince someone to give himself up. He’ll probably accomplish both of these…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 I still haven’t read the last volume of The Promised Neverland, ahh…the art is super pretty!

@anatra23 Big thanks to @trahia-the-minstrel for putting out content warnings here; about FMAB; it does get pretty dark, actually, but I feel like if you watch Jujutsu Kaisen you can probably watch the bulk of most anime, considering that Jujutsu Kaisen is rated TV-MA here in the US but FMAB is rated TV-14. Common sense media is a good place to…[Read more]

@calidris The fandom is scary as heck but I love the manga art style and the characters and how they portray authors as characters and the worldbuilding and I also have been playing the mobile game for almost two years and–
*cough cough* The fandom is. Very. I don’t like the fandom.

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic Anime Nerd/Chat in the forum Film 2 years, 11 months ago
@anatra23 Ay, for comedy/slice of life I recommend:
- Barakamon
- Yotsuba&!
- Way of the Househusband
And for fantasy/adventure:
- Fullmetal Alchemist (if you’re only going to watch the anime watch the Brotherhood version)
- The Devil is a Part-Timer!
- Bungou Stray Dogs
Me, looking over my lists: I could have sworn there was way more I need…[Read more]

@anatra23 Finally, my field of expertise.
I have heard of all of these! I’ve read several volumes of Horimiya and Your lie in April was my first anime. For a complete list of my read and watched anime, you may consult myanimelist here: https://myanimelist.net/profile/xiajiao
Well, lemme just open up my presentation that I bring with me whenever…[Read more]

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic What's an unexpected benefit you got from writing? in the forum Topic of the Week 2 years, 11 months ago
@kathleenramm Writing has allowed me to appreciate different forms of story more. While more things may seem mediocre now, I can also truly better appreciate the highest forms of literary art, such as classic lit, as well as extremely well done movies. Yes, being a writer ruins some things because now I can predict the plot. But when I can’t…[Read more]

Girl, I really just want to wrap you up in a big hug. I have a pretty good understanding of how you feel and it absolutely sucks. I’m sorry you’re having to deal with it.
I also have chronic health issues, though not covid related, and with them comes a lot of chronic pain and chronic fatigue, so I get you there. It’s really hard trying…[Read more]

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic What's a book that hasn't aged well for you? in the forum Topic of the Week 2 years, 12 months ago
@kathleenramm Ever since I started writing I read much less, and I don’t reread books I read long ago anymore, plus I think we gave a lot of them away. On the rare occasion that I remembered I loved one book as a kid and I would reread it, I usually found it more hilarious than before.
There was one trilogy I really loved called School For Good…[Read more]

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic What aspect of writing have you grown most with as a writer? in the forum Topic of the Week 3 years ago
@kathleenramm I think for me it was probably plot and themes. I remember when I first started writing I didn’t really know what themes I wanted to write about, how to incorporate them, or if I even wanted a theme. Now I think that everything I write has multiple themes woven throughout, though I can’t quite tell what they are. (This is why I…[Read more]

Ranting about my new novel idea to myself in the depths of my soul. Will I share anything more than a few cryptic words? No.

@kathleenramm Plenty of places that I don’t even remember. Probably something similar to your waffle house experience. If I remember I’ll let you know.

Jenna Terese replied to the topic Planning out a trilogy! in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years ago
That’s so exciting! 😀 I’d definitely recommend figuring out how you want the whole series to end. Ask yourself, at the end of the last book, what do things look like? Where are the characters? What has been resolved? What hasn’t? In regards to plot and character arcs, think of the series as a whole one big character arc, or one big…[Read more]

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic What's something you thought was necessary in writing, but actually wasn't? in the forum Topic of the Week 3 years ago
@kathleenramm Oh, almost everything. That you had to follow prose conventions taught in school or plot outlines that followed a specific formula, that your character had to go through a very specific and obvious development, that you had to write something that followed all of these things with a reasonable and expected ending…
None of those…[Read more]
