@trahia-the-minstrel You should!

@elishavet-pidyon Yeah, totally!

@nanisnook ANOTHER series we both love?! Wow, that’s crazy! (You do remember the long conversation we had about Warriors, The Bad Batch, and Loki, right?)

@autumn-rebecca So many people have disapproved of the series itself or of you not watching it? But besides that, it is fun to make a universe of your own. I like the creatures I created for it.

@thelobsterlover

Hey, sorry for not replying right away! I think your post got lost in my notifications!

Wow, you are such a great artist!!! Those drawings are TOTALLY Maria. I might have to ask you to draw my other characters too if you don’t mind doing more. Thank you so much for doing that!

Thanks for checking out my blog, too. I’m hoping to…[Read more]

@thelobsterlover Ack, poor Dune. He needs serious help. And Windris is a cool name. She’s your antagonist?

The one cynical character I had was from a fanfic, so he came that way if you know what I mean. He’s had some work on his attitude–spending time with the more optimistic character [an OC of mine] he’s supposed to guard has lightened him up…[Read more]

Ooh! Honestly, I like battle scenes, and I’m a girl. It has to be a good fight scene or battle though. I think it’s a consequence of having a 10-year-old, Halo-obsessed brother, and watching a ton of Marvel (actually, like, four movies) and Star Wars (I’ve seen all of the movies and all five of the major shows.)

@lydia-s That’s a great scene idea! You should put it in the book! I’d read it.

@koshka Yeah, those are fun!

@koshka So cool! In my own stories and fanfictions, several characters are humans with cat ears and tails, and fur (although they wear clothes and armor over that), and they usually walk on two legs but can also go on four. I just kept their armor and weapons the way the characters were in the stories where they were completely human (since most…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon Yeah, isn’t it so annoying when you have to wait for a story to finish? I’m like that with one of my other favorite series, there will be two more books but I have to wait until November for the next one to come out…..

@trahia-the-minstrel It’s pretty good, actually! It is kinda unmemorable at first, but the later books…[Read more]

@keilah-h

*Stormy auplause*

Which was your favorite book? Mine was always the first, but my siblings say that if I actually read (opposed to skimming so fast I miss half the scenes) Ember Falls that’ll change. I doubt it…

@keilah-h

Anyway, my animals are complete animals in clothing that walk on two legs but often run (or lope) on four. I’m still figuring out how exactly armor and weaponry will work with this, but so far I haven’t had any real difficulties.

@keilah-h

Thank you! I love some of those too, especially when it’s like Green Ember or Mistmantle Chronicles. These are physically just like normal animals here (besides the whole clothes, weapons thing), but are otherwise persons (if not human).

@elishavet-pidyon Thanks! I actually created Crossfire for a fanfiction, and Hunter was based off of a character by the same name from a TV show I really liked (and I just tweaked his features to make him my own character). But Torrent and Beaumont were mostly made up on my own.

@koshka Your animal characters sound so cool! Are they animals that stand normally or do they stand on two legs sometimes/most of the time?

@karissa-chmil

I just reread my response and realized it was pressent tense (English, *sigh*). My Dad went over to Spain for a several months to help a missionary family get settled, like close to twenty-five years ago, so something’s have probably changed. =] I have seen a bunch of pictures though, and seriously, those castles are beautiful.

@thelobsterlover

Hmm, forgiveness character arcs. There aren’t a lot of well written ones that I’ve read, but The Viking Quest, Broken Bow by LaJoyce Martin, and Ben-Hur (although I highly recommend listening to the Focus on the Family audiobook instead of the actual book) were all good. Sir Kendrick and the Battle of Belion, The Green Ember…[Read more]

@koshka Your cat character sounds so cool! I love that kind of story, with animals which are almost humanoid, but not quite.

@faith-q Yeah, Picket was cool. And at the end, after he loses his arm and his niece is sentenced to “100 tickles for spreading dandelion seeds all over his garden”…..

Picket: “I’ll try to carry out the sentence, but I have only one arm, and one hand on that arm.”

Heather: “If you had two hands on one arm that’d be weird.”

Picket: “Depends on…[Read more]
