Another suggestion for you. Is there something happening elsewhere that might be distracting the king? Something that seems more important than dealing with rebels? This could work with Ducktator’s idea, where the cultist uses this other issue to his advantage to distract the king.

Hello, welcome to Kingdom Pen! (Sorry about the late welcome, it’s been a while since I’ve been on KP 😅)

I’m theloonyone or just loony. A little bit about me, I’m a Christian, teen homeschooler who likes to write, surprise surprise. I have a lot of different hobbies and am not too great at any of them; writing, art (mostly just pe…[Read more]

(Sorry if this felt judgey, I can totally understand why AI can be helpful and fun)

No worries! I know I was pushing for positives to AI earlier on, but this was because I wanted to get a discussion going, not because I wanted to justify using AI. I am actually struggling to think of the positives in using ChatBots for authors myself.…[Read more]

@theducktator something similar to the moose thing has happened to my family before lol

ooh also did you get your signature from the Life of Fred math series? My family has all of them, they’re hilarious. oh and yes I have seen Mississippi Squirrel Revival. My dad listens to a lot of random stuff too lol

Thank you for your suggestions! Her name is Ayla. Loopylin, is Lindy your name? TheShadow, I actually have an Estelle. XD

I usually read my siblings what’s in my notebook, but I like bringing it to co-op, and I live in mortal dread of my archnemesis reading it. *shudders* Or one of the other annoying kids. Or…anyone who’s not a sibling, basically.

@rae @theducktator @savannah_grace2009 @theshadow

Yayy!! 😆 I’m glad I got almost everything right! I wasn’t expecting that! And even though I got some stuff wrong, you guys know your stuff front to back anyway. Thanks for the fun music session (I did laundry while listening, hehe).

@theducktator

Why do so many of these songs legit sound like ducks??

Ahem. *Composes myself*

1. With a sense of dignity, this character is not willing to give in to others at the cost of their plans. They believe themselves a representative of impeccable fashion. Whether or not they actually have this… up to you XD They have taste for the…[Read more]

Maple Leaf Rag, by Scott Joplin

They play this song constantly at the theme park I work at XD I never knew what it was called until now

@theshadow @savannah_grace2009 @ducktator

I’m going to leave all the character guessing up to Whaley, but I’m really enjoying listening to the music you shared! Adding some of these songs to my own…[Read more]

@theshadow

Yep ;P

@theshadow XD I love those.

Over the Garden Wall is the absolute best

@theshadow

I might have to try that, it sounds quite interesting. Thank you for sharing!

@trailblazer, @theducktator, @theshadow, and @grcr.

Thank you for your ideas. I am seeing a recurring theme here. Use a notebook/document, and jot down the little things as they come up. Unfortunately, I am not a notetaker, but perhaps it is time I power through that and jot things down. (Which is kind of funny, because my user/pen name here…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

Nice to meet you! Yes, if the villain’s “redemption” ended up looking like just a strat to get the girl, I would be devastated with myself. Good reminder XD What series are you referring to?

@theshadow

Thanks for that! I especially like your idea of giving them common ground 😀

@theshadow

Christmas. It’s Jesus’ birthday and the buildup to it so much fun. Also my siblings and I have a tradition where the oldest dresses up as his version of santa (for example, Marine Santa or Batman Santa) and gives the gifts out like that, and it is one of the best things ever lol. What about you?

I agree, Christmas is the best hol…[Read more]

@theshadow
I really like what Ducky said (can I use that nickname @ducktator ? XD) about having a cultist influence the king within his closer circles. Another idea – since you want to preserve the concept of the land being rich and probably settled and populated – is to create a special communications system, then cut it off somehow before the…[Read more]

@theshadow

Well, I doubt any of the cultists would have told him. If he had already been to the nobles, then yes, the king would probably know. If he hadn’t, and the group is in the far reaches of unexplored kingdom, then he would likely know that some sort of rebel group existed, but might just dismiss it as rumors, especially if he has no idea…[Read more]
