Hello!

You jumped in at a interesting time. lol

Haha, yeah I did. Tbh, I’ve been reading everything since E. N. Leonard joined, hehe… it been interesting😂
I have no idea what Yarrow’s greatest regret is.

oh… and there is still a mystery floating around… Abirami found a pile of papers with everyone’s faces on it, their eyes cut out, and many of them had red ‘x’s across them….. no one knows who, and only a few are privy to the papers existence….

Yes! Those papers! I’ve been wondering about those for a long time. Is it people who won’t say their greatest regret? Or what? I guess I’ll find out…

Hi!

Yep that happens XD To be honest, two of my own favorite characters (Basil and Kit) were both HEAVILY inspired by two of my favorite characters from a series I really love. I found them really intriguing, and wanted to explore those kinds of characters further, so I just…completely ripped them off and reverse engineered them to find out why exactly they’d behave the way they do in this context. And it actually worked? You have to go through this weird, embarrassing period of trying to separate them from their inspiration, but eventually they really started coming into their own and becoming completely separate characters XD It’s kind of embarrassing to admit, but I’m honestly really glad I did it because Spire would not be where it is today without these two!

Interesting. I’ve never actually created a character inspired by another (my mind won’t let me😂) but that’s a good point about wanting to explore that type of person. A friend of mine who used to be co-authoring with me actually created Yarrow then me and my sister (who edits for me) ran with him. The comedy personality was started with him bowing really low and all his arrows fell out of his quiver. Guess they weren’t in right… 😂
I love when characters you don’t intend to look like someone else but they do become their own person.

Btw do you like LotR? And if so, who’s your favorite character?

Oh boy, allow me to reintroduce us (this is all based on personality).
I am the White Lady of Rohan, Éowyn. I fear not death, but cages.
E. N. Leonard is Frodo. She is the first to attempt peaceful negotiations and is strong in a different sense (not physically).
Ethan Leonard is our dear Pip, always hungry and first to draw the sword.
My favorite character is probably myself 😂, Éowyn. I also like Galadriel (cause who doesn’t😂). I can freak people out by mimicking Gollum’s voice perfectly😁
Yes, I love LOTR😂😂😂. I read it in less then a week.
