@supermonkey42 😀 The Pearl of Lima.  It’s been a while since I read it, (why would I re-read a thing like that?!) but I think its something like either a white man falls in love with an Indian girl, or two Indians from different tribes, sort of like Romeo and Juliet.  He escapes with her but on the last page of the book their pursuers shoot hi…[Read more]

@sam-kowal I agree with everything you said…except the last sentence. 😀

Did you read my “rant” in response to the one @supermonkey42 wrote?  I like to look up to the heroes in the book I read, so a hero who messed up is realistic, and I will appreciate that, but in the end I want him to solve the problems and be a true hero. 🙂

@rochellaine I understand the problem XD. It’s a compelling prompt, because it’s very real. There’s rarely ever a ‘bad guy’ who wants to destroy the world, and a perfect hero who wants to save it.

@supermonkey42 *joins rant*

I have to agree with you, that the ‘good guy, bad guy’ conflict can sometimes be frustrating. Of course, it’s very simple,…[Read more]

The GIF-Hiders: An Easter Story

Part Seven: Dog, Cat, and Squirrel

“So, Jenna?” began Dekreel after their previous conversation had petered.

“Yeah?”

“What do you like to write?”

Oh, no, <i>that<i> question. She sighed a little. “Umm… several things, I guess.”

“Anything you’re working on?”

“… Not really. I write random essays. And I journa…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 *runs away from life* AAAAHHH!!!! *slams door on the blizzards face* Sorry I’m late. But I’m here now.

My response is:

“She was going to write a Snow White retelling, and needed all the white books for research.”

*nods* I’m a genius. 😛

And I tag @supermonkey42 to write a one sentence story based on this picture:

@supermonkey42 Don’t worry, I love rants! 😀  I’m going to do one too:

Yes, I think in real life we are all at once the hero, the villain, the sidekick, and the mentor.  It all depends on from whose perspective we’re picturing ourselves.  Everything in life is based on bias, which is why it’s hilarious to hear someone explain just how they kn…[Read more]

Sooo, I wrote this and showed it to my brother, but I don’t think he found it as funny as I did.  So I’m wondering if it’s just me, or if maybe other writers will understand the problem posed here:

@jenwriter17 @dekreel @supermonkey42 @sam-kowal @seekjustice @daughteroftheking

@dekreel Nope. nothing new, except I think someone forgot to tell @supermonkey42 that I don’t write fantasy, so I had to completely change the story from what you, Sam and Ben probably intended.  😀

I think it still works, though.  Have you read it?

You were working on the KPA earlier.  Are you still working on it?  I saw that you said you had…[Read more]

@supermonkey42 I’m probably one of the best people to tag if you think you got too intense. 😀  Has anyone ever told you I don’t write fantasy?

Part 4 of Story #2

“No.” Freda heard rough breathing, and looked around wildly before realizing it was her own.  She focused back on her parents.  “No!  No, Mom.  Please don’t!”

“But honey,” her moth…[Read more]

@supermonkey42  I came across this, too. XD

@supermonkey42  Thanks! Yeahh, sometimes I feel like I’ve spent may too much time here. Because, in case you haven’t picked that up, I really love it here XD

(I wasn’t going to ask. I knew you’d put it there one way or another. XD 😉 )

@supermonkey42 😀 😀 😀 Thank you!

I need to mention again that the website is amazing!  You organized it really well.

@supermonkey42  Nice job. I think you should put all of them in there. XD

@supermonkey42 Um, @dekreel reminded me of this yesterday.  I wrote a KP comic, (I think that’s what it’s called?) so, you could add that if you want.  😀

The Gif-Hiders: An Easter Story

Part Six: The Green-Eyed Bumbler

“Hi there! You must be Jenna!”

Jenna’s shivering softened a little, but she didn’t dare move, or open her eyes. Who said that? Where was the dog creature?

“Are you all right?” said the voice, clearly concerned.

She heard footsteps approaching her, crunching leaves as they came,…[Read more]

@dekreel 😀 I like this idea

Here is Stan’s continuation…

Bessy smiled.

“Look what I made,” she said proudly, eyes glowing. “Don’t you like it?”

Freda took a step back.

“Bessy… what have you done?” she whispered. “What is that thing?”

Freda closed her eyes.

“It’s a thing I made out of rocks,” Bessy said. She shifted the terrible…[Read more]

@supermonkey42 Oh. My. Goodness. Thank you for this. I’ll probably spend a couple hours reading all this…

@supermonkey42 Oh. My. Goodness. Thank you for this. I’ll probably spend the next five hours reading all this…

@supermonkey42  I was scrolling through a random topic, and I found this:

There Once was a Kingdom Called Pen by Louise Fowler

Oh, and this haiku, also by Louise Fowler

And THIS haiku, by S.F. Dekreel
