The Ducktator

@keilah-h

So…I started reading and couldn’t stop.

I found myself really enjoying the story, and I forgot about critisims until now. My only mental note is it was pretty obvious that Spy was Huntresses and Scouts father from the point that Huntress entered his room and saw his stuff. That and sometimes it feels like the scenes are too short,…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Augh, I keep missing you!! 😅

Cool! So… how old is Joseph in the later books, if right now he’s “Young Joseph”?

@ellette-giselle

How could you kill your FAVORITE off, Ellette??? 😢

Oh, it’s been picked back up. Just slightly bent now. 😁

@ellette-giselle

Yeah, I know what you mean.

Lol yeah I totally read it and wondered, but then while I was reading this the only thing that I was thinking was that, “It’s probably the same Julian… right?” I did not even register that until right after, and then I was like 🤦‍♀️

So because Julian and Joseph showed empathy for Adrian in that sc…[Read more]

@loopylin Praying!!! 🙏

@keilah-h

Thanks for sending the link!

I started reading it (just got to the part where Huntress sneaks into Spy’s room) and so far I’m really enjoying it! Thank you for letting me read it!

@rae you were asking about my currently unnamed fanfic for a fandom I don’t even suggest getting into?? lol

not finished editing it but here, delete the space or something lol

@ellette-giselle

You two have some issues with trusting authors. I don’t deserve this at all. What have I ever done to warrant this?! (lol)

I am an author and I don’t trust myself, so there! Lol.

trust me (or don’t haha), we all have done plenty to warrant being very sus of each other. It’s nothing to be ashamed of, or well it kinda is, but is…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

It looks good. I’m still sad though.

Question- how come all the other believers haven’t been discovered, but as soon as Adrian became a believer basically, he was found out and killed?

@ellette-giselle

Not really crying—but not because I’m not sad. I just don’t really cry that much, even for some of the saddest books I’ve read. I kind of want to though.

You were so bubbly in the previous post, and now you are so sad. Part of me feels really bad, and the other part of me is wickedly gleeful.

I was half convinced you were going t…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

I don’t even know what to say… If you couldn’t tell I posted that before I read the new section.

I don’t even know if I want to see an Adrian aesthetic board anymore 😭😭😭

@ellette-giselle

LOL.

Oh 😂 Sorry about that. I wasn’t thinking about the POV shift at all. I guess with Adrian in so many of Joseph’s scenes, I forgot that it’s just Joseph’s POV. @Linus is probably right, you should keep it consistent.

I think you meant to tag @keilah-h up there, because those were her words.

You two have some issues with tr…

@ellette-giselle

did you ever do a board for Barron? If so, have you posted it? If not, I’d love to see one!!!

I was working on a hand drawn board for him but I never finished it and I also lost the page *sad face*. Plus, at the time, it revealed some things about Baron that I didn’t want to reveal yet.

I’ll probably redraw it and post it

@liberty (moving the convo over here so we don’t spam the short story topic 🤪)

Well, I’m slowly getting back into a rhythm too. I’m starting to write consistently as well. I’m hoping to start working on a WIP. I’ve also started freelancing and am writing for an Amish magazine, which is very exciting! So far, I’ve had one story win 3rd place in th…

@liberty

Hey!! I appreciate you reaching out. You’re so sweet! 🤗

Things are going pretty well right now! Volleyball made our schedule crazy over the past six months, so it’s nice now that it’s over and things have slowed down some. I’ve started working on some study rhythms for school to keep my grades up since I fell behind in some lessons…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

 even if we’re glad the character didn’t die, it often feels a little artificial.

While I agree with you that maybe killing off Adrian is the best course of action, especially considering this is supposed to be a realistic missionary story, I’ve also seen a story where it’s the opposite: They killed off a character because it…[Read more]

@the_lost-journal

Thanks, it’s not that I feel ashamed, it’s that I feel like I am being self absorbed and selfish just asking for prayer for myself.

No, that’s not wrong. Especially in your situation. How many siblings do you have? Are you the youngest, oldest, or in the middle?

I’ll be praying for you. Is there a name I can refer to you…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

I actually didn’t do the last contest, but I’ve been keeping up with this topic anyway. 😛 You picked a really interesting prompt… so I might just participate this time! We’ll see….

@the_lost-journal

Aw man, that sounds really difficult. I understand annoying siblings, but I can’t imagine how hard it is for you right now. 🫂 I will definitely be praying! <33

And don’t feel bad about asking for prayer! That’s what Christian community is for 🤗

@ellette-giselle

That new section looks good. The end feels like a perfect transition to a scene with Adrian… is that what happens next?
