Also, I am working on a short story for the prompt, it’s just gotten a little delayed (I decided to totally scrap my first idea in favor of another one Thursday. It’s been interesting)

@ellette-giselle

WHAT???!!!

*Undignified squealing commences*

Oh, she is kinda scary. I think she’s done a good thing though. She deserves the medal.

@hybridlore

*GASPETH*

@ellette-giselle

I’d say don’t kill the boys. You could bring them close, scare the living daylights out of the others, but don’t kill them.

I expected them to get captured and killed. It felt like “here we go again”. So many characters by this time have been killed, that it was almost…boring? Change…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Noo! XD At least, I don’t think so. 🤔😉

@ellette-giselle

By the way, this article isn’t (or maybe it is) about psychological suffering, but since I’m pretty sure it’s point is what you’re intending in your stories, I’ll share it. It definitely changed the way I think of pain.

And it’s hilarious, so you know. Thought you’d enjoy.…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Ok, I will say that I enjoyed how it was carried off in this section. I agree with what @linus-smallprint said about that. It reminded me of The Healer by Dee Henderson. (A book about facing the grief of a broken world.) Very good.

What I say is redundant is the fact that it feels like more characters are dying than those who…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Eeellllllleeeeeeetttttttte………

Why shouldn’t you kill them? Well, because it’s getting redundant. I love your story and your characters. The setting has a unique feel of its own and the characters are compelling to say the least. However, unless you have a brand-new absolutely unseen point to make with more death, it may…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed

Awwww, so fun! (Why do your grown characters still ignite the “poor little babies” part of my brain?)

Also…what does Nikolai look like perchance? And have you done a collage for him? (If you haven’t…well now, I don’t know a whole lot about his story, but I think I’ve caught his drift)

@ellette-giselle

Yay!

Maybe. 🙂

@ellette-giselle

😊 Maketh my heart gladeth.

Does it fit how you pictured him? The plushie is yet unclaimed.

@ellette-giselle

Not sure. Maybe because he’s a guardian type, protecting his younger brother. Maybe because he reminds me of a centurion, and I always loved the centurions in the Bible. He doesn’t understand everything, but he has a strong sense of honor.

@koshka

Aha!

*pulls on gloves*

*Grabs gold pen*

Lisa was looking for that. You don’t want her looking for you instead!

*Looks around*

Oooo, nice story, Ellette. I like Julian.

I will post a character aesthetic, though. It has a bit of the backstory woven in, so I won’t be specific, but see if you can guess who it is! (I say like it’s not painfully obvious.) Whoever gets it right gets an imaginary plushie of this character OR his horse!

@ellette-giselle

Good. That’s what I assumed was happening.

The emotional/spiritual aspect will be addressed later.

I’m afraid I was more concerned over the emotional/psychological aspect, but I suppose that’s kinda what you meant.

*Cackles*

Oh, and I wasn’t sad. I was almost angry. Slightly mad. Highly miffed. And rather sorry for…[Read more]

@koshka @ellette-giselle @hybridlore @keilah-h @theducktator

Mae Govenen! Thank ya’ll for your feedback. And I will especially thank you for tactfully reminding me to post the extra that fateful Thursday.

As we all know, the extra was not posted.

Fear not, nevertheless! Although we have not posted chapters, we have been writing them. And…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

*Glares*

You killed him. I’m more than mildly miffed at you.

*Huffs*

*Contemplates writing you into a short story just so I can heap vengeance with my pen*

As to the last section…

This could just be a difference is my own temperament, upbringing, or understanding, but I’m not sure I agree with how Sabina handled the…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed

Oh! I love hearing about your progress. This is so exciting!

The aesthetics are exquisite! I love all the little peoples in them. They really show Riker’s tender heart.

Hans will forever be “a cold sore on the lip of life” like Anne Shirley puts it, but hey, what makes a better villain? I agree that he’s not flat, (dare I…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Oh boy. Ok, this will be fun.

@liberty

YesYesYesYesYes!

My sister and I reverted to eleven year-olds the moment we found out. The amount of happy dances since then has been Citadel of Dreams worthy.

We have effectively spread the Natalian infection to multiple people in our church, and hopefully this next book will bring more loyalties. I feel like a Seventh Districter.…[Read more]
