    If it’s in line with your plans, I thought it might be convenient for the portal to drop everyone on Nathair. Poor guy’s about to die of boredom.🙃

  • “You better come with us so you don’t get killed!!!!!!!” the child shouted.

    Goya was certainly not inclined to follow the two strange and utterly unhelpful maze dwellers through their whirling vortex of darkness. However, the skeleton flung itself at him, and while he wrestled with it for control of his knives, the spider succeeded in squ…[Read more]

    No problem!
    Okay, your idea to switch out Ewoks with Mandalorians is brilliant! I love it. And it does seem a good idea to cut the extra super weapons. They get a little repetitive. Do you think you’d ever rewrite the other trilogies? The new one especially could use some serious help.🙃

    @mathematical_cellist

    I just finished the last Mistborn book! It was so much fun! Brandon Sanderson is an evil author though. Especially with that one character at the end of the first book. I was very mad about that. Also kind of impressed, because what author makes a character that good and then actually goes through with killing them? I get so…[Read more]

  • @this-is-not-an-alien

    Thanks for the rundown! *Awkwardly returns hug*

     

    As Goya walked through the opening, he heard a hissing, slithering sound from behind. Spinning, he found that the moss had grown over the opening until there was no way back. He felt a brief pang of apprehension, and it occurred to him to wonder whether the Wind was not…[Read more]

    Hi Michaela! For me, I generally have several stories simmering in the background, but I can only really focus on one (maybe two, if one is fanfiction. Those tend to require less work). What I do (or, what I’d like to be doing) is have one project that I’m writing beginning to end. If I have a sudden burst of inspiration for something…[Read more]

    Can I take this as a personal invitation? Hi! I’m Lydia. We wouldn’t want you to go nuts on account of limited social interaction, now, would we.

    Meet Goya! My villain. He’s a nobleman from a minor house who has gained a great deal of power through doing what no one else would dare. His country recently went through a revolution…[Read more]

    Hi Emily! I’m Lydia. I’m going into my senior year in high school. What are you majoring in? Have you got a favorite author?

    I am not particularly artsy, but I’ve a great respect for those who are. I do love color, so I enjoy embroidery. Music is lots of fun! Do you play an instrument? Have you got any favorite artists or albums…[Read more]

  • @rae

    Clown? Court Jester? Some other kind of tradesmen that Igua regards as utterly useless? Merman? Bear? 🙃🤷‍♀️

  • @rae
    Basically, Lord Castle booms the ultimatum (give up your most prized possession or participate in the fashion show) so that Igua has a vague idea of what’s going on. Assuming he participates, you need to come up with something hilarious for him to wear. He must then go down the catwalk (whether he does that willingly or under Lord C…[Read more]

    • Now it makes sense…Lol! Igua would HAVE to be led down the catwalk. He’s got too much pride to walk down in something ridiculous! Early Igua’s most prized possession was his book of Wondian history from his father but later Igua’s would be his sister but she really isn’t a possession… So it goes back to his book but he gave it to his sister…[Read more]

    Alpha doesn’t really have to break down and cry. Neither does Grathmere. They just both need to decide that it’s not a good idea to kill each other right now. That doesn’t mean the relationship is going to be completely healed on the spot, but it can at least open the way for it to begin.
    Yeah, that last idea works. But if you don’t like it . . .…[Read more]

  • Abrielle posted a new activity comment 1 year, 6 months ago

    My mom thinks a prophet should show up at the final duel and preach forgiveness. Or all three should die.
    Anyways… So, did Grathmere accidently give Alpha the disease or was that on purpose? I get that Leahae is a sweet person and all, but if her brother kills Grathmere when she was just beginning to get to know him, it would probably cause…[Read more]

    • It’s a tough one. I like the prophet idea but getting one…hard. I also can’t see Alpha breaking down and crying, neither can I see Grathmere. All three…that would spiral into chaos for a Realn clan and a entire kingdom Leahae rules.

      On purpose. It does not last forever but when he’s under the effects, he’s helpless. It can. Last hours or…[Read more]

    “You’re not the first person to want to know what his father’s last words are! I purposefully omitted them from the text in that one spot since in a later scene that you will have to wait until Chapter 23 for, he tells someone those words…”
    Figured. Nuts, what an evil author thing to do🙃. “Here’s an interesting tidbit . . . just kidding! Now…[Read more]

  • @inkhorn

    That would do it! Are y’all moving, like, across the country, or are you staying in the area? Are you excited about it? I hope that goes smoothly for you!

    @rae
    Hi! I’ve finished what you’ve written so far, and it’s pretty good! It certainly doesn’t drag, which is great. I think the biggest thing I have is that you tend to be a little wordy. Particularly with trying to throw too much information into one sentence (totally understandable, it’s really hard not to when you’re trying to introduce…[Read more]

    • You’re not the first person to want to know what his father’s last words are! I purposefully omitted them from the text in that one spot since in a later scene that you will have to wait until Chapter 23 for, he tells someone those words and also mentions he has never told another person before. The funny thing for me is the use of the quote f…[Read more]

      • I mean I can hint to it… And I did actually already hint to something but it’s so secretive…I bet you’ll never figure it out until then. **Knowing smile creeping over face** Oh and it turns out alright in another book! At least completely alright. So if you stuck to your waiting you would be missing out on a wonderful part that I’ve got…[Read more]

    Aha.🙂 Yes, please!

    Hello! Nice to meet you! Is Yarrow new to the castle?

  • Rhianna

    The stairway felt interminably long, but Rhianna was determined not to stop. Being a Loki meant that she did not tire quickly. Still, her legs had begun to ache by the time she reached a landing and a door. Heart pounding with anticipation, Rhianna flung open the door and found herself blinking in bright sunlight. As her vision adjusted,…[Read more]

  • @toljamedia

    I’d never heard of literary fiction before, but the definition I found on the web says that it is character driven instead of plot driven, which sounds so cool! I recently wrote something that was kind of like that (although it was also kind of sci-fi) and I’d love to write more in that genre. Have you got something you’re working on…[Read more]
