@hybridlore so sorry for taking over your forum. Those boards are awesome.

@whalekeeper

“snipercore” lol

idk if that’s a word but IT’S A WORD NOW

CROSSHAIR AND MUNDY FOREVER BABY

(gonna regret saying that in a decade when this shows up on some old internet log and I have a chance, however small, of being like ‘who do those names belong to again?’ But whatever)

Yes to reptiles and sci-fi, every time. Lol

and he…[Read more]

Also I can’t disagree that trauma doesn’t automatically make characters deep. Nothing does. We have to work to make our characters, same as anything else. There’s not just a switch we can flip to automatically make a good character.

Unless you’re like me, then you can just borrow them from other people’s stories, but even that takes wor…[Read more]

@whalekeeper lol “the Keilah genre”

What exactly does that entail?

And not all in the same book too. It’s better if the main characters all go through different things.

@ellette-giselle

Maybe all our writing has come to life and our characters are walking around in different places!! (sounds like a movie or something)

It could be kinda scary if some of my villains got loose. 😂

Lol that would be weird….but also kinda cool. Except for the scary villains haha, I have my share of those.

Now where are my t…[Read more]

I don’t like being super graphic/body horror about it, I just make sure my favorite characters come out of it with a tangible reminder of the incident.

@ellette-giselle You’re crazy girl! Lol

okay but I do agree with you, making the main character miserable is fun. Not so much killing them all the time in my book, but brutally scarring them is what I tend to do.

you lose an eye and YOU lose BOTH eyes and this one get his arm slashed off and this one gets her wings shredded

lol

@the_lost-journal lol

I guess we’re just spamming poems until the moderators pay attention XD

@grcr

only thing is I don’t think I’d be allowed back on Discord because we had a… scary predatory… moment happen on there… so I don’t know… I’d have to ask… 🙂

hmmm this might’ve been why I was avoiding it come to think of it…..

I’ve never had an experience like that but I’ve heard of this kinda thing.

@godlyfantasy12

Splindiferous work!

I just got the cabbage stuck on the stove so we can eat in a few minutes.

Right now I’m wavering between WIPs. Mostly SR (Vulka and Zlati), TC (more recent WIP my sister’s in on), and a semi recent WIP currently without a title that my mom actually started me plotting. There are others, but I’ve basically…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Awesome! You already have more words down that I get in several hours of writing.

@godlyfantasy12

Good! I’m lounging around after work, waiting for dinner to finish in the slow cooker and enjoying the fact that I don’t have any homework for the moment.

How’s life?

@hybridlore

I’ve used GroupMe a lot. You can create subtopics and stuff like that, but I’m not sure how well it would work for a substitute KP. It’s a group messenging app, not a forum layout…?

@ellette-giselle

Yes! I like how you did Rolf’s story. It didn’t disrupt the flow, but also kept you from an info dump (while still avoiding the confusion of too many flash backs). Well done.

Conrad. *Sniffles* Brave young boy.

One note: Rolf seems to weep a lot in the desert, despite severe dehydration. While I understand him crying, I’d…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Yep, one of hers. It doesn’t have a lot to do with the book, but there is an otter who shows up with his trident great fork part way through. He’s possibly one of my favorite characters.

@godlyfantasy12

Story Embers? They closed their community forum down, so convo is basically impossible.

Annnnnd YDubs costs money…*broke college student speaking*

@godlyfantasy12

Hi!! I’m on for a bit.

@koshka ooooh that’s a great story. You said it’s from your sister’s book?

that kind of tale is always fun.

@the_lost-journal you’re good!
