I guess my favorite character right now (it fluctuates) is Adriaen Blackwater. He’s set in a dystopian world, and the reason I really like him is because he’s so real. I made him a flawed, raw character and I’m having so much fun working out all the angsty bits with him where he’s currently at in my story.

@leon-fleming When Eleven talks to people, he comes off as a bit rude because he generally brings up things that he couldn’t have known about. He never introduces himself, and switches randomly from topic to topic. And I’m afraid he’s more on the average side…[Read more]

Here’s an update on where we are at working on the language:

@leon-fleming and I have identified some sounds to use in our language. Those are still open to discussion and are on page 5 of this Google Doc.

At this point, I think we’re ready to work on two things simultaneously:

1. Creating an alphabet/visual representation/writing…[Read more]

@rochellaine, @jenwriter17, @selah-chelyah, @ariel-ashira @dekreel, @catwing, anyone else

I’m writing, listening to The Clockmaker’s Daughter, and procrastinating. anyone want to join?

I’ll be here for a bit.

Thanks for the recommendations! I’ll definitely be checking them out.

I haven’t actually read any of the original fairy tale stories before, but my favorite Disney fairy tale would probably be Beauty and the Beast.

Not only is it a lot more interesting story wise to a lot of other Disney Princess movies, but the message is a lot…[Read more]

I’m on for a bit

The Scarlet Pimpernel is one of the books on my “to read” list!

Is there a specific thing that you like in a villain/antagonist most that makes them your favorite?

I definitely suggest checking out the entire soundtrack, not only are all the songs amazing, but all the voices too

I went into completely prepared to not be impressed, I was 75% won over but not completely until “Never in a Million Years” started. So beautifully done. It is sad that they changed The Plagues from the original because I loved that one, but over all it was just fantastic

@selah-chelyah Haha sure XD. But I will be critical.

@gh24682468999 Ooh, that sounds cool. So is the beast still going to be turned into a beast? Or something else?

I think that writing in Chinese definitely would be fitting for a setting in Beijing. There’s a book called Want by Cindy Pon which is set in Taipei, and although she does a great j…[Read more]

Your apology is fully accepted! I hope you look back on your time as a Bumbling Henchmen with fond memories. You were a very admirable Henchman!

Hehehe, a network of knowledge. Knowledge of what, you ask? EVERYTHING. How will we use it? …got no idea. But we will rise up in rank, unnoticed by the special chosen ones as they go about their special quests, until we are the ones they turn to for answers, for wisdom!

Hello, as the title so clearly suggests (yes I’m sooooo great with titles, can’t you tell? My stories weep because there is not an epic enough name for most of them yet), I have made a new topic to introduce myself. Some of you I have already met.

Someday when I am published (who knows when, lol, my writing process is pretty…[Read more]

Lol! I know. I’ve had to try to find a way to explain to people what my stories about in like three sentences. It’s so hard because the best parts are mostly spoilers and/or seem really random when you mention them. Like I understand your excitement about a MC interacting with the King of France (eeekk stuff like that is fun) but…[Read more]

@selah-chelyah GREAT! I have a HF warrior to stand at my side already! We shall be a force to be reckoned with, I’m sure. Sharpen your blade, m’dear, I feel (a fun) war brewing in the air…

@leon-fleming Yea tell us about your MCs!

So since my work is a very large work, I have many MCs, but I have chosen one central character, who I guess is both the main character and the villain.

To understand him you’ll have to understand the background of the world.

The Magic Users are known to be the most blessed and most cursed of…[Read more]

Don’t worry guys, I know her.

@selah-chelyah

Hmm, should we come up with a new conversation topic?

Sorry I can’t help more! I don’t know much about this. 🙂

@leon-fleming I always like conversation. In real life my conversations are usually like:

Me: *asks a question*

Other person: *answers*

*awkward silence*

I guess, like, if someone asks you a general question, ask it back? That helps boosts the conversation a lot.

Welp, sadly I am out of conversation juice.

@selah-chelyah Aw, I hope you feel better!
