@wordsmithHey there! Many times I don’t feel like it… but I guess I might be considered a veteran here (am I @scribbles)… anyway.
Welcome to Story Embers! I am Wordsmith… and I promise I am a person (most of the time). It’s pretty cool that you like superhero stuff. Somehow everything I write manages to carry some form of superhero tint, but hey! It’s cool. I like to call it SuperHero-Opera.
What person do you enjoy writing in, and furthermore, which tense? I’m pretty flexible as far as preference. If you read my blog (thebookshelfstaircase.wordpress.com) you’ll find a verity. That being said I have one novella in which I wrote third person past tense… and my WIP is the same. So on larger projects I’m probably more comfortable sticking with that.
Also… I hope you’re sent to Rillumen! Here’s our homepage if you didn’t get a chance to look at it:Β https://storyembers.org/rillumen/
Oh! One other think… I am an ENTJ. My extroverted side is really high, so you are not alone. I think you will find quite a few extroverted writers here, even if we are in the minority. So don’t lose hope. Besides… many of the introverts are super nice.
If you have any questions I can either answer them or point you to a higher authority. @daeus-lamb is the forum manager so you can always ask him any of your questions.
So with that I again welcome you to SE… May God bless your time here! π

@write-owlWhy hello! Thank you for such a warm welcome! Haha, SuperHero-Opera – I like the name π
I prefer writing in third-person. It feels less strict to me, somehow. And I just checked my WIP, cause I wasn’t sure, but it turns out I am writing it in the past tense. That appears to be my default tense as well, although I would like to try present tense someday soon. Maybe I’ll test it out on a short story or something…
Honestly, I hope I’m sent to Rillumen too! I was looking at all the guild’s homepages and Erekdale and Rillumen rose to the top as my preferences
(although – don’t tell those from Erekdale – I think I prefer Rillumen).Yes, glad to know I’m not alone here as an extrovert! *does small happy dance* I actually tend to prefer spending time with introverts anyways, as they don’t object to me taking whatever spotlight there might be π
Thank so you much!

@write-owl@seekjustice Heh, you’re welcome π
Dang it, how do I get out of this one. Oh, I believe you! The awesome part, I mean π I don’t know which guild I’ll be in, but whichever one it is, I’m know I will be devoted to it… even if it isn’t Rillumen or Erekdale haha.High-key stereotypical ENFP-T

@seekjusticeMost definitely π but Erekdale is very cool and I’ve really enjoyed working with everyone there.
Though I guess I can’t really say that Erekdale isΒ better than all the other guilds, since I’ve never been part of the other guilds.

@wordsmithYeah… I think in someways it is less strict, if you’re writing in omniscient narrator. But I’ve also found it fun messing around with all of it, because once I get comfortable with the idea, it’s not super hard.
Oooohh! Thank you! That’s so sweet.

What’s your favorite class in HS right now?

@write-owlPhew, I feel a little better now. Thanks!
My WIP is currently a YA superhero story. It evolved from an adult political thriller, so who knows where it’ll go next if I decide to change it again, haha.
Hmm, my favorite class… Surprisingly enough, I’m really enjoying chemistry. I know a lot of people don’t like it, and even though I don’t really like my teacher, I find that I am learning a lot and I like it π I’m also taking nutrition at a local community college and I can almost feel my brain growing with all the knowledge being put into it haha. Government is interesting too; it almost makes me what to change my intended major to politics.Β Almost.
I know a lot of writers who decide not to go to college to focus on writing, but are you doing that? If not, what are you studying?

@write-owlIt wasn’t you, it was me π Warning: if you have a friend in Erekdale, don’t say anything remotely bad about it, or they will come down on you like a dragon on Erebor.

@write-owlOh my, what a conflict! I shouldn’t be put in either of those guilds at this point. I’ll only succeed at causing war between them π
