@xonos-darkgrate I use Powerpoint, and I’ve heard an app called Leonardo mentioned, along with some others.

@xonos-darkgrate Glad you asked. 😀 It’s where we post collages or art like that, inspired by our characters or story. Or anyone’s characters or story, really.

@salome01w4g @allison-grace @xonos-darkgrate
Thanks, guys!

Of course! The Corner is open to anyone who wants to write. Or at least, let people know they’re writing. @xonos-darkgrate

*snorts* There are, in fact, nine writer’s corners, but only because the other ones grew to be so long that we had to stop using them. Actually…we should be coming up on the end of this one shortly.

Anyway, the purpose of the Writer’s Corner is simple–it’s a kind of accountability thing, where one of us will start writing, tag others to let…[Read more]

*Deep breath* My last two chapters. *exhale* Here I go. Let’s write!

@allison-grace I don’t think there is another one. *hands you chocolate in the shape of feathers*
I call some other people so they can see this and comment too… @dragon-snapper @daugtheroftheking @epicaddie2 @emily @daeus @kate-flournoy @seekjustice @jess-penrose @xonos-darkgrate @jane-maree

Well, that happened. @epicaddie2 Oh, well…
@xonos-darkgrate praying. Being out numbered can feel awkward. (For some weird reason when you said you’re smart for your age, it made me think of Hiro, from Big Hero 6…)

@xonos-darkgrate You sneaky-sneak. Now I really want to read it because you sound like Lemony Snickets….

@xonos-darkgrate whoa….. *is speechless* I would have thought you were at least 15……

@xonos-darkgrate I think the youngest person we have is 13–that’s how old I was when I joined but then time happened so now I’m older…. XD

@xonos-darkgrate As far as the magic goes, I think it probably needs a bit more fleshing out with details, but as long as the power isn’t actually God’s power, but merely a separate power he created, I think you’re on the right track.

As for romance, it’s really up to you. It could be hard to write it without any experience and you do want to…[Read more]

…you’re younger than 15? @xonos-darkgrate I did not see that coming.

@xonos-darkgrate

Wow, it sounds like you’ve put a lot of thought into all this. I like how it sounds sort of darker and edgier, but still good (as in good is good and will triumph).

Hi @xonos-darkgrate

Solid story idea. I think this could be really cool. Like @daeus and @kate-flournoy said, though, I think articulating exactly how the magic thing works could be tricky. But from what I’ve seen, it looks like you’re well on your way to solving it.

Everything that needs to be said has pretty much already been said here,…[Read more]

@xonos-darkgrate @daeus Maybe it’s that, the power is used by everyone, but depending on who you use it through and for if it’s light or dark or grey. It could be like praying, if you pray to God (the only one you’re supposed to pray to), or to idols or other things.

@xonos-darkgrate Good ideas. The one thing that confuses me is point 1. It sounds strange that Satan could manipulate God’s power. Maybe there’s there’s an outside force of power that God created and controls as a testing ground? I’m sure you’ll figure it all out.

@xonos-darkgrate This sounds intriguing! And those names are pretty good, except the twins’ names are very similar. That’s probably what you’re going for, of course, but personally I like it when twins don’t have similar names, it makes them seem more individual. But it’s up to you!

And while I don’t really have a problem with making fantasy…[Read more]

@xonos-darkgrate what @Daeus said, basically.

Otherwise I think it looks very solid. You seem to already have a lot of thematic material (foils and such) to work with, so you’re starting out with a wide perspective and plenty of stuff to juggle around. Also you seem to know what to do with that stuff, which is always a plus. XD

As for names……[Read more]

@xonos-darkgrate I’m going to have to think on this a bit more. But for starters…

The few chosen to actually be able to manipulate the otherwise forbidden source of the universe

Why is it forbidden? By who? Why can they wield it?
@daeus had some good advice.
Also this could be an allegory. If you wanted.

Those names could work. The Mymar…[Read more]
