Stepheroni and Cheese

@stephie

Yes! These are just what I have running through my mind and never put on paper!

My dad was in the military and is now in law enforcement and one thing he always says is, “When I get shot, I’d rather have A guy carry me out then a woman try to drag me out and end up getting us both killed.” He’s a very tall, muscular guy, and I honestly…[Read more]

@stephie

Very good practical points. I had a very similar discussion with my dad about two hours ago. 👍

@stephie

No you are not 😛

@stephie

Well, I’m glad to find someone who does agree. It’s a lonely stance.

Hopefully anything I said was helpful!

@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]

@ellette-giselle I mean, I DID say that was the exception as opposed to the rule, so if you’re trying to counter my argument, we’re actually kinda saying the same thing.

but 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…[Read more]

@stephie

Okay. I’ll be working on that right away. I did get called into work unexpectedly today, so it will take longer than I was hoping, but I hopefully will post the next chapter soon.

@stephie

I also really want another chapter from Linus.

Of TNPT or the boy stranded on the island story I’ve been putting on this forum?

@ellette-giselle

How did you get Mark Rober on your side?

@stephie

I had some fun creating a lovely, traumatic backstory.

Good times. XD

@stephie

That’s a something I didn’t actually think of! *raises hand to give you a high five* I have now been gifted with an idea I am VERY excited to write about, so–

Lol glad I could be of service!

Heyyyy I missed this topic’s beginning while I was gone, but I’m glad I found out about it now! It was quite interesting reading through everything, and now I have so many thoughts I don’t know what to do with them lol!

@stephie

I do have one thought for you, though. I’m not gonna repeat everything the others were saying, but my one suggestion…[Read more]

@stephie lol

poor character

@stephie

TBH, Whaley, Ellette and Koshka are all basically saying riffs on the same thing from what I can tell. It’s ok to have a girl fighting if she needs to (or if she thinks she needs to, which could be an important character arc), but don’t make her into what’s basically a guy with long hair and wide hips. (I mean, like the judge Deborah in…[Read more]

@stephie oooh I love the poems!

@stephie

Lovely poetry 😊

@stephie

Now, I wouldn’t make too big of a deal out of this. You know your character’s temperaments, backgrounds, personalities. Those will dictate how they react to situations as much if not far more than whether they are male or female. Let them do what you feel they would as a character. Keep a good balance in mind, but don’t worry so much…

@stephie

I’m fine with women going into battle, as long as they dress, act, and fight like women (and the author doesn’t try to make some weird point out of it). It’s when girls start saying things like “I’m just as good as a guy” or “I’m better than any guy.” Because, while I believe that all people are in fact equal, what the author sounds like…[Read more]

@stephie

Hmmm. I always believe it’s best to give leadership rolls and protector rolls to men, but there are times when a woman does need to step in. I have no problem with a woman defending herself or others. However, running into battle, leading armies, leading campaigns, leading missions, I don’t think that is a woman’s proper place.

I’m…[Read more]

@stephie

Oh! I like them. The first is very lonesome/dreamy, and the second does well painting its picture.

@stephie

We all loved the Little House books, and we had a bunch of settler costumes we’d wear. One of the only ways my mom could get us to clean the house was to pretend to be Ma, and then I’d be Mary, and my sister would be Laura, and when the youngest was old enough to play she was Carrie. We’d have SO much fun cleaning, you wouldn’t believe…
