@dragon-snapper I absolutely cannot believe that I didn’t see this earlier!!! Wow, this is great! Although…. I do have to say that Daeus isn’t like how you pictured him. He really is very kind and not at all controlling or desiring of power… 😀 But I do have to say, the part when “As they marched into the armory, Daeus conldn’t help but say,…[Read more]

Here’s one that everyone knows.
*nasally voice* “Marriage…” Ready, set, guess! Okay, the answer will literally leap into your heads. 😉 -
ClaireC replied to the topic Reader Behavior Survey in the forum Publishing & Platform 9 years, 5 months ago
@daeus. Yep, I’d have to say she’s my #1, too. 🙂 I thought it was really nice of her to say yes. And it does seem rather awesome, doesn’t it. 😉

@daeus, I’ve been in contact with Katie Weiland (https://www.helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com/) a few times about writing questions, so I wrote and told her about it. She has not only taken by put it on her twitter page. 🙂 Awesome job, by the way. Katie said it was very well put together.

@Dragon-Snapper @GracieGirl @Winter-Rose Totally agreed.
They actually had a relationship, if you know what I mean. Not just a you-look-pretty-we-work-well-together thing. It meant something.
Gabrielle, exactly.

Sometimes, simple is better. The hug at the end was WAY more powerful than any words or kisses.
AGREED. Gushing and kissing, sheesh. That hug was so incredibly sincere it was WAY better than any gushing or kissing would’ve been.

@Ethryndal I’m not sure myself, but now you’ll have a glittery Elf kingdom for your domain!

@Dragon-Snapper I’m going to be an MC? Cool.
Yes, you should totally totally do more sequels. You can make it a collection of KP spoofs. THIS IS SO FUN.
Oh, and you’re very welcome for that prompt. If I’d only known…You should do something with @Ethryndal and her glitter everywhere, and her amazing snark. Oh and maybe her Galadriel-ness.

@PerfectFifths At your service. 🙂 *bows*

Emma Flournoy replied to the topic Tips for Writing Short Stories in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 5 months ago
@PerfectFifths Indeed they are. I liked the first trilogy a good deal, and the second one was good at times but I found it pretty boring. 😛 But I hope you like ’em!

@Daeus I know. *sigh*
Well, I hope you can find many good ways. -
Emma Flournoy replied to the topic Tips for Writing Short Stories in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 5 months ago
@PerfectFifths Wow. So cool to know a famous author.
But it’s gonna be really nice—I’ll know quite a few famous authors once all you guys get published. 😮I’ve read Hostage Lands, and his 6 Scottish/Scottish-American ones.

I terribly wish I could help more, but I don’t have any kind of ‘social media’ account accept here. 🙁 I would broadcast it to the air, but I don’t think that’ll do much good.

@Ethryndal @GracieGirl *collects four cents*
Okay, I totally agree, now that you’ve both expressed yourselves so lucidly on the matter. 😀 I do think it was more than just comradeship, but only a little. And I was almost rejoicing that they didn’t kiss. XD I loved the hug at the end, but that was plenty. That’s more of a just friendly thing…[Read more] -

@Ethryndal Yeah, purty sure. 😀 And it’s still awesome, no matter your age group.

@PerfectFifths Nice! Is Douglas Bond Australian? I’ve read some of his books.
@Ethryndal @Kate-Flournoy entered that contest too, and went through the same thing (obviously). It was n.e.r.v.e. w.r.a.c.k.i.n.g. I don’t think it was an error, either; not to be badmouthing them of course, but there were updates on their Facebook page or something…[Read more]

Thanks, Emma! I was ridiculously delighted when I saw it 🙂 Kingdom Pen has come to mean a great deal to me in the relatively brief time (less than a year) that I’ve been involved, and it was awesome to get that little shout-out.
I daresay you’ve come to mean a great deal to KP too. Judging from the reaction your articles always bring, for one thing. 😉
