I mean for me it’s a very case-by-case thing. Like if a woman took an important mission with a bunch of men, knowing she’s the weak link, and potentially putting their lives at greater risk, then that’s wrong. Whereas if she’s the most capable in a scenario, yeah, I’m putting my trust in her and not in an inexperienced leader.

I asked the question of what my family thought about women in combat around the dinner table tonight. There were a lot of things brought up that I hadn’t even thought of. Here are some of the insights from my parents:

1. It’s not fair to the other side to have women on…

*tosses twelve year old me back into the past*

It did send me an email! Maybe I’ll just start doing that for fun so I hear the cool notification sound!

Am I okay?

@keilah-h

honestly I think something like that actually exactly what @stephie was going for. The guy either doesn’t know any better or is something of a coward, and the girl is forced to lead because of it.

Off topic: I wonder if I’ll get an email if I tag myself. @stephie

Anyways, yes, that was what I was going for. There are a few sit…[Read more]

Hmmm… choices, choices….

TNPT 🙂

@trailblazer

Often what I’ve observed is that guys who grow up without a father figure tend to take on more of the qualities of a woman because that’s all they know. This isn’t always a bad thing, but it can mean that they don’t always know how to step into the role of man the way God intended.

THIS.

Like I said, I’m doing a sort of redempt…[Read more]

Well, not only have I written my last five snowballs, I wrote about 2 000 words.

*chuckles*

And I killed off one of my beloved characters.

*cries heart out*

Anyways, now I have 10 snowballs.

I also really want another chapter from Linus.

I’m a little bit late to the party (a couple months late, but whatever), but I’ve got a question relating to the topic of women going into battle.

Sort of.

In my WIP, my female main character begins doing uncontroversial fine-for-girls…[Read more]

Not finished my words, but I did want to show y’all some poems I wrote:

 

Éphémère

Retirés comme l’air de nos poumons

Vous êtes le silence maintenant

Nous sommes ce que nous devenons

Les chaînes du temps en remontant.

 

Here’s a translation:

Ephemeral

Withdrawn like the air of our lungs

You are the silence now

We are what we become<…[Read more]

@theducktator

THAT. Role playing games…*leans back and remembers*

As the eldest, I have many memories of leading role-playing games with my sisters. Think tea party but with a plot and all of the dolls are sick with appendicitis. (There were a lot of games. Some of them were action packed, like when we had a villain who wanted to take everyone…[Read more]

You know you’re a writer when you get annoyed with creative writing assignments for being so rigid.

@esther-c

We also have a new tradition where we eat a different cuisine for dinner on the three(?) nights leading up to Christmas. Like Mexican, Chinese, pizza, and then on Christmas Eve we eat finger foods so there aren’t a lot of leftovers to leave room in the fridge for left over Christmas dinner. 😋

Lol pretty much. My family usually has C…[Read more]

@theshadow

Yes, I celebrate Christmas. Being Catholic, I also do advent during December. It’s a time of reflection and preparation for Christ’s coming. Christmas for my family and I is when we rejoice because Jesus came to Earth, and when we remember His birth and His love for us.

However, my parents have decided to abandon certain Christmas…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed

Here’s your 700 (actually a little over) for the 14 snowballs y’all threw at me.

ridiculous amount of snowballs

Y’all gotta chill XD

So you had 14 snowballs thrown at you.

Now I have 14 snowballs to throw at other people😏

And then you threw 14 snowballs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wait for it.

@linus-smallprint

I think I may struggle with this partially be because my Dad and I are not very emotional and struggle with being sincere, and sometimes can seem stiff. My interactions with him naturally are what I refer to for these scenes, so Alan and Charles have picked it up.

 

.Ah, I see. I have a very close relationship with my Dad, so I…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

Just-

What-

No! 

Seriously, that gave me the ugh-the-main-character-is-doing-something-stupid sinking feeling in my stomach, so bravo. You can successfully torture your readers.

In chapter the 28th, I did notice that some of the dialogue between Alan and his father is a bit stiff. For example:

Alan gave his father a…

Congrats to your sister! Looks like the perfect Christmas present for myself….

If you guys want to introduce them/give more details, please go ahead!

Gladly!

Winston used to be person, but I won’t describe what his human form looked like. He was a ruthless Captain in the Evil King’s army (I’m writing a novelized fairy tale, so I have permission to name my villain the Evil King lol) and a sorceress came and cursed…[Read more]
