It’s been a bit since I posted more of my story, so here’s the next little bit. It’s a little fragmented and summary-ish in spots, but it’s what I’ve got lol.

As the fall months passed, Bert Hawley began courting Clara. Clara’s mood brightened considerably, and she willingly did household chores and helped in t…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009

The only thing I thought of was how quickly it seemed to drop off at the end. Were you planning to continue their conversation after the flashback in that same chapter, or in a different chapter? To me, it sort of felt like their conversation should continue after the flashback. Ending with the flashback felt very abrupt, and…[Read more]

@freedomwriter76

Aw I love this short story so much! I almost wanted to cry. I’ve written a few things like this, too.

@esther-c That’s really good! I missed the first parts of your story but just from what I’ve read here, it sounds interesting!

@grcr @everyone

Kari

“Have you had much experience in dancing?” Lane asked, after a brief pause. He stood up and put his hands in his pockets.

“Well, most of my experience is from school dances, and I didn’t really participate in those much,” Kari replied. “But my dad taught me to dance a little while ago, and I just taught Ottoline, so maybe I…[Read more]

Kari

Now that Ottoline was dancing with Hugo, Kari found herself alone again. The new guy with the lightsaber thing didn’t seem very friendly, and this girl who had shown up out of the blue was being way too friendly with him, and with Amir. This whole situation was only getting stranger and stranger.

Kari noticed Lane…[Read more]

@grcr

I can bring Kari over to talk to Lane if you want. Currently she’s not doing anything either since Ottoline is dancing with Hugo.

@smiley

Let us know how it goes, and if you need any more ideas!

@smiley

I like that idea! A few things that came to mind that might give you some ideas of how to start it:

• The story begins at the family get-together; I think showing the tension of the family relationships right at the start will give you an opportunity to then dive in and explore the causes of those tensions throughout the novel. However,…

@smiley

What’s your story about? I write contemporary too, so if you still need any ideas I might be able to help brainstorm.

@keilah-h

If you’re thinking of adding a character to the RP, you should add a female character… Our girls are outnumbered and it’s hard to have a formal dance with mostly boys lol.

@savannah_grace2009

Yeah and it would be easy to bring back guy characters because they could just get new actors… Their voices would have changed anyway. The female roles would be a little harder, though.

But this would be a really fun RP idea… Everyone chooses an old character and we bring them all back as adults!

Rand the Barkleys- they…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009

Yeah honestly, I don’t think it’s such a bad thing to be a goody-two-shoes either. I used to be super picky with some things though, and even now I still have different standards for things than most youth, but I don’t judge other people for making different choices anymore like I used to.

It’s been a little while since I…[Read more]

@sarafini @smiley

I’ve been wanting to ask this and keep forgetting… so here we are, finally:

Which Odyssey character would you be, or which one is the most like you?

I would be one of the oldies… Lucy Cunningham-Shultz. She’s a newspaper editor, for starters, and I was a newspaper editor when I was in public school, too. As I was reading…[Read more]

@sarafini @keilah-h

Ok I have a confession to make.

I had no idea it was called cotton-eyed Joe.

I’ve literally been confused about the name for probably seven or eight years.

I always thought it was “catnai” joe or something like that lol.

I don’t know how, I guess I never saw it in writing before….

It’s kind of embarrassing that I didn’t…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009 @grcr

This is totally out of the norm for anything Victorian era but what if they did some group dances?

@savannah_grace2009 @grcr

If we’re going for anything similar to a Victorian ball, then I think the guys are expected to dance with different girls, but since we’re trying to put characters from multiple eras in the same room idk how this should work.

@savannah_grace2009

I just wasn’t sure how to get a masquerade ball started, which was why I didn’t RP since the dressing room, but once it kicks off I’ll try to jump in.

@sarafini @smiley

I wish Mitch hadn’t gotten married to someone else… that made me upset lol. But I agree, I like Jason and Jillian together.

Oops, meant to tag @smiley, not @savannah_grace2009….

But since I tagged you, Sara, I think we agreed that Bennett and Christine would be an a cute couple, right?
