@leumeister I would love to, but unfortunately I’ve got a huge project on my hands right now (launching my first published book this year 😀 ) and I promised myself I wouldn’t take on anything extra.

@alia Don’t worry, I’m having trouble right now too, since I’m in the car and have to use my bluetooth on my phone to connect to my computer in order to get online.  So after this post I might not be on for several more hours.  I’ll probably be on for at least a little bit tonight, but I’m not certain of that either.

Hm, that’s a good point.  Ma…[Read more]

@valtmy Welcome back to the war zone! 😛  Actually, war hasn’t officially been declared yet because I have been slacking on writing the declaration of war.  So as soon as I get that written and @sam-kowal presents it to Story Embers the war will be on.  I was going to try and finish it yesterday, but I forgot that we were about to go out of st…[Read more]

@sam-kowal In light of that expression of your loyalty I have granted your request for access to the classified Kapeefer document. 😀

And in light of the fact that you provide cinnamon rolls, actually…

In all seriousness, I’m really glad you’re back.

@seekjustice No, not at all.  Only similar in that one aspect, I think you both do a kind of “oi” instead of “i” sometimes.  But not the same type of “oi” either.  Anyway, my Irish accent is good and my Australian accent is bad, so they can’t be too similar! 😛

Oh, do other countries also just call it the “Southern” accent even though it’s the Am…[Read more]

@seekjustice I don’t know…I could do that, but the horribleness of my pronunciation would probably sound more like an insult to Australians than anything else. 😛

And don’t your i’s sometimes have the “oi” sound similar but not identical to the one the Irish use?  (I have a really good Irish accent.  It’s my best accent, probably, other than m…[Read more]

@seekjustice It took about four tries, but I think I finally nailed a completely fake and weird Aussie accent. 😛  HI, IMMA KAPEEFAH Till I’m ol’ and gray!

*raises glass* To our queen!!  May she always live happily in the future, but deign someday to return to the past and visit us, her subjects.

About the accent, well, since we don’t have r…[Read more]

@seekjustice @kaya-young @catwing Oh, wow, you guys! *blushes* Goodness!  I don’t want to be president. 😮 I was actually going to nominate SeekJustice to be queen.  First of all, she’s Australian, so she has the accent for the job. 😛  Second, she has a Babylonian Sabre and an Army of her own.  Sounds like she’s fit for the job already. ;)…[Read more]

@alia @ariel-ashira I made a tentative partial list of those test questions, and put the link in the Writers’ Corner topic. You can check it out and add or erase questions as you see fit. 🙂

Ah yes, Ariel, you are my deputy!  I forgot about that, since right after @dekreel suggested that she left us… 🙁  At least she’s back now! 🙂

@daughteroftheking If you spend a lot more time here than on SE, I think you’re okay. 😉  Are you a true Kapeefer?  Would you ultimately choose KP over SE?  From what you say, I think you would, and in that case, TILL WE’RE OLD AND GRAY!! 😛

DISCLAIMER!!!!! This whole “Save the Kingdom” and “Story Embers Traitors” business is all a joke and we’re not really angry with anyone, and we don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings.  If you feel upset by any part of this game we’re playing amongst ourselves, please let us know, because that is not our intention.

(We really do intend to be loyal…[Read more]

CLASSIFIED – access will only be given to he or she who has been proven to be a loyal and true kapeefer

@kaya-young @alia @ariel-ashira @seekjustice @jenwriter17 (Tag any other true Kapeefers. 😛 )

@ariel-ashira @sam-kowal has generously offered to present the traitorous members of the newly-sprung town known as Story Embers with our Declaration of War.  My only worry is that I have a fearful foreboding that he, as the messenger, will receive the first blows of the battle over in Story Embers while very few of us Kapeefers are there to back…[Read more]

@dekreel I’d love for you to stay here.  The serious writing can go to Story Embers, and we’ll just have a small community of friends here who write a bit and chat a lot.  As Kaya puts it, we’ll bring our knitting needles and laptops to the small cafe called Writers’ Corner. 😀  If you read the pages of Writers’ Corner now, you’ll see that half of…[Read more]

@dekreel Look what you said.  You’re nostalgic?!  The “downfall of the Kingdom?!” *chokes on the words* You’re already treating the Kingdom like a lost cause!  You may say you are not a traitor but you’re certainly acting like one, trying to get all the loyal subjects left here to feel the Kingdom is only here as a nostalgic symbol of our pa…[Read more]

@sam-kowal You are most certainly a traitor. 🙁  I’ve been missing you, especially since I found a song about a small dragon that I wanted to show you, but you were gone…

And Bobert has been moping and rarely shows his face here anymore since there are no dragon rides to be had.

@ariel-ashira @kaya-young The Declaration isn’t finished yet,…[Read more]

@sam-kowal  Sam!! I’m glad there’s an Emberite left who has mercy on us. I’m glad you’re here! As long as you keep visiting often, I don’t think you’re a traitor. 😉

@kaya-young  Hello, hello! I liked that little short story thing, by the way. It almost made me cry. Well, if Daeus won’t be here to rule this Kingdom (will he?), then someone ha…[Read more]

@seekjustice @rochellaine @jenwriter17 @kaya-young @daughteroftheking @all-the-remaining-kapeefers Even though I’m on a SE guild, I’m also here :/ I’ve been busy recently, so I haven’t even been spending time on either this place or SE. I agree that it’s sad that the Kingdom of Pen has been abandoned. AND (lol) I also know how to both knit and…[Read more]

@seekjustice  YOUMENTIONEDTHEAETHERLIGHTAAAA!

Ahhh, umm, sorry! *sheepish grin* That… was beautiful.
