Okay…I guess I could try, but I don’t want to do a prompt that nobody will like.

What kinds of prompts do you want to do? Does it matter to you guys? Or is it just random? Can they be one words, can they be phrases, what’s the criteria here?

(I am probably overthinking this, it’s just the…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

I guess so. I did have something, but our internet went down the night before Thurs and didn’t come up till today so I missed the submission date.

Lol! Who the heck is that guy?!?! He’s nutso! As I read the first paragraph, I thought it was going to be some great ramble inside someone’s head about some topic of philosophy! I like…[Read more]

@grcr

😓 Ehh… due to a lot of deleting and a massive mid-month story/plot change, I am still only around 7000 words…. unfortunately. I’ve kinda been hopping around in chapters, so many have been started… but only the first chapter is at a good/finished place.

At least you made progress, that’s really the important part. 😉

OH MY GOODNESS, WOW!! 😆…

@everyone

One thing I could use some help on is the linguistics for this world. If this isn’t your area of expertise, feel free to ignore this. I know that at least @thearcaneaxiom is interested in this topic.

I have a rather gigantic list of essentially just names. I’ll paste them in…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009 @thearcaneaxiom @hybridlore @grcr There’s a post up there 👆 Because y’all did NaNo, or some modified version of it, right?

@thearcaneaxiom

Idk

@thearcaneaxiom

😂 Great job!

Nice loophole-finding/exploiting.

I forgot about this too.

@thearcaneaxiom

Lol that was great XD 👏👏

I kind of forgot about this.

@thearcaneaxiom

Yeah, that’s the main thing I haven’t figured out, the powers of the system. In some cases, I think it would be cool to have the benefit be related to the cost, like maybe sacrificing your ability to see color for better vision overall. But I’m not sure if that would work as a general principle. I’m not sure what the powers will be.

@jonas @highscribeofaetherium @thearcaneaxiom

Here’s my next chapter… if you have romance, LOOK AWAY lol!

Chapter 6: Raindrops

Lilitu was sitting on the steps, minding his own business, like any sensible person would do.

He was watching the wind sway the trees, listening to their whispers.

Often, he would sit and try to make sense of what…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

Okay, I don’t know what I was thinking last night. Let me think through this again. Let’s say you sacrifice the thing you value most. The power you got must now be the thing you value most, because otherwise you wouldn’t have done it. So if you sacrifice that power, you must get something better than that, so that would just le…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009

How do you guys come up with this stuff? IT’S SO GOOD! I could never. I should hire you peoples to make magic systems for me, lol

Thanks! It isn’t easy for me. This one has been marinating in my brain for a long time, and it’s still only half-baked. Like if you asked me to just come up with one right now, I couldn’t come up wi…[Read more]

@jonas @highscribeofaetherium @thearcaneaxiom

I’m just randomly popping in here, lol

@thearcaneaxiom @highscribeofaetherium

This is a magic system idea that has been floating around in my head for a while. It’s pretty rough, so far, but here’s what I’ve figured out.

The basic premise is that you make sacrifices to gain power. (Not like ritualistic sacrifices. I just mean giving something up.)

Here are a few basic rules.

1. The…

@thearcaneaxiom

Yeah, Dawnshard is the book (although I haven’t read it heh heh. I just don’t really care about spoilers from the Stormlight novellas) that gives the most information about the organizational aspects of the Shards. Even there there isn’t that much. Most of what we know isn’t stated, but can be deduced from that book and things…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

There are only nine unmade, however, and ten orders. That doesn’t disprove your theory though, especially considering something you’ll learn early in RoW. That is an interesting observation. I didn’t think about that. Perhaps there is a tenth spren that never became an Unmade.

Unity is not the confirmed one, but you’ll find ou…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

That is a very important point. It makes sense that seeing the future isn’t necessarily a corrupt quality, as that’s a shared ability of all the shards as far as I know. Yet the spren is corrupt regardless, so they assume that’s what tells him the future, but there’s definitely a lot more going on.

So the weird thing is, Brandon…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom @jonas

Here are two interesting tidbits I’ve been speculating on. See what you think.

In one of the cabinets in Urithiru, a gemstone message from an ancient Truthwatcher says “I foresaw this.” That’s not the whole thing, but it’s the important part.

Secondly, what about that part when sodium screams “WE KILLED YOU”? Who is ‘we’?
