Lucille
For the first time, Lucy’s face flushed. Gabriel knew she was young, but he didn’t know that while she was a good silent reader, she did not read aloud to people. She put the book on the table and squinted in the candlelight. She stuttered but got through it.

Sorry about the wait! I spent the afternoon whisking masa, cooking meat, burning my hand on a kettle, etc. Lots of cooking. And I felt I should update the school roleplay first if I had free time.
Make something up
Alright! I had an idea, just give me two shakes

@theducktator Yesss even though I’m not part of a denomination that celebrates that feast, I remember learning about it from the Christmas-themed What’s in the Bible episode (if anyone is familiar with those. They’re great if you haven’t seen ’em).
Did you know that today instead of the 25th was originally the day that children got presents?…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009 Thank you!!!
I might write some more today but not much, I got a Minecraft project I’m working on so I have to split my limited screen time between them both.

Did you find any ideas for this? It’s totally fine if you haven’t looked yet, but I would love to brainstorm this idea some more!

Not intending to mess up the role play turns. 🫣
It’s hard to tell who wants to go next so I don’t blame you lol. Loops or Duck, one of you needs to go after me.

Marcel laughed and brushed his hair out of his eyes so he could better return the glare. “With that attitude, you already do.”

Is there something you want the book to lead up to, or should I make something up?

Gabriel Mai
“Yes, I see…” Gabriel walked to a set of drawers in a corner, picking up a book from on top. He opened the pages, a pressed, dried flower falling out, rocking to the floor. Gabriel bent and picked it up, then showed it to Lucy. Purple petals, and a white and yellow center. He put it back in the book, then tried to read…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle This is random, but I just had someone call Baron a babygirl.
Which apparently in this context “refers to a man who is both attractive and charmingly sensitive (or brooding/self-possessed/quirky) as opposed to stereotypically macho.” (Merriam Webster)
I just thought it was kinda funny, lol. -

Huntress/Sniper/Soldier
“Okay, this is going to sound crazy, but I think I saw the imp transform into a rabbit. Maybe. There was a lot going on. But maybe that means he behaves like a rabbit too. We could trap him.” Felicity explained.
“That means we need ‘im alive.” Sniper told Soldier.
Soldier looked a little offended by the har…[Read more]

Lucille
Lucy picked up one of the candles. She tried blowing it out, then brought it to her nose and sniffed it curiously. It didn’t smell like anything. But it could be useful if they brought it with them.
On the one hand, the room disquieted both of them, but at least every element was familiar. Lucy even recognized the crochet pattern i…[Read more]

You can do that if you want! As long as you can handle the two of them lol

This is unrelated and I really shouldn’t be awake right now, but I’m confuzzled
Has anyone else ever seen the time on a comment labeled “right now”? Really silly, I know, but I have never seen that on KP before.

Okay…… 🤣
That’s kind of funny, actually. Though I’d prob. not like it if my character was called that. Not very flattering name. 😂
Btw, how is all that going? Did you find someone to publish it?
I was very confuzzled when they said that. I personally won’t be adding it to my vocabulary but I found it interesting.
I still plan to go with Wild Horse Publishing, if you’ll still have me, however the current thing holding me back is money. I do not have enough saved, and I don’t have a job yet due to health issues.
As soon as I get a job…[Read more]
Oh yes of course we will! Okay yeah, did I give you a price quote yet? Take your time. However long you need is fine.
No, you haven’t given me a price quote, but from what I’ve seen online, it can take up to $2000 to $4000 to publish. I was planning on saving $2000 but I only have $700 right now. Maybe a little more after winter because I do get snow money and I have a few relatives who always send Christmas money because they live too far away to see us, but at…[Read more]
Well, I can tell you right off the bat that it will not be that much to work with us. If you give me a page number then I can give you an estimated quote on what you need to have in hand before we can start.
@ellette-giselle
The reply button had to go to bed apparently.
My doc is currently sitting at 97 pages. I do plan to go through and edit though, since I’ve found some week spots, and also need to clean things up, but it’d be around 100 pages.
I’m sorry if that’s too vague for you, that’s the best I can give until I go through again (I stepped back…[Read more]
lol
yeah no worries. I have to do something really fast, but I’ll get back to you on that in a minute.
So, running that as a mockup, here are the estimated prices to print each book.
Paperback, black and white illustrations—
$3.66 per book (not counting shipping, handling, and tax)
Hardcover with dust jacket, black and white illustrations—
$10.14 per book (not counting shipping, handling, and tax)
Hardcover with printed case no dust jacket,…[Read more]
Woah, that was not the numbers I was expecting.
So, I have the money I guess (the sad thing is it looks like I’ve had enough for months and didn’t know it).
Thank you so much!
About illustrations, I’ll probably do those myself to save on money and capture my vision.
For an editor, I know that I need one of those lol so I’ll get into that.
I…[Read more]
I would have been sad if you didn’t want to do the illustrations! It just wouldn’t have been the same! ☺️
well, i think the time of stepping back will actually help you refine it, so maybe it’s a good thing! We have a few editors working for us, or if you know of someone else, feel free to chose them as well. Here are our editors, but don’t feel…[Read more]
loll this is so funny to me, I’m active in a lot of online fandoms so I hear this term all the time 😂 it’s usually used for well loved characters or people so please consider it highest compliments
LOL.
Bro what—
Oh I would hate it if someone called my characters that lol
(Given that most of my charries are from fanfics, there’s a very high chance someone already has.)
Lol. I don’t like the term itself, but I find it flattering that someone used a term that meant that about my character because it shows affection.
That seems like a pretty broad category to be fair, lol, unless the character has to be obviously sweet/sensitive/vulnerable in order to qualify. But that’s still funny.
Oh no…
I just realized Hugo is textbook “babygirl”
I am ruined
Lol, he is totally.
If his girlfriend called him babygirl, he’d probably just shrug it off. That’s how textbook perfect he is for this term. I’m not sure whether to be fine or not fine with this.
