I started on the twentieth chapter of my Prequel Trilogy rewrite… and it’s proving harder then I thought it would be to write.

We understand that closing the forum will be a loss, but having considered our options, we don’t think there is a way to keep it running that would be less of a risk/sacrifice than closing it.
The forum will be removed from the site, though I believe we will still have the archive on the backend. However, I do not expect the forum…[Read more]

Huge thank you to Story Embers and especially all my Knaphollow Guildlings for this forum experience!

Will the forum still be here, simply closed to new posts and replies? Will we, and others who stumble upon the site, still be able to access and reference the…[Read more]
