Thanks a bunch!

I’d love to join, but unfortunately, I’ve got to wait until I’m eighteen . . . See y’all in a couple months🙃!

The climb up the ladder did not last long. Kianda felt a draft of warm air curling around her, and then she was pulling herself up into a pitch black room where the strange music reverberated off the walls.

Over the music, a deep, slightly familiar voice growled, “By all four Dragons and eighteen Winds, not this again.”

“Goya?” she…[Read more]

The sand in the Ring would be hot tomorrow, but for now, the air outside was bitingly cold as always. Kianda reveled in the fierce wind, hardly noticing that the metal beneath her was so…[Read more]

Probably in reply to the announcement.

I am crying vicariously through your crying emojis. They just about sum up the situation. Though it’s too bad there isn’t an angry sobbing emoji. We need about fifty of those.

You have a website? That’s pretty cool! I’m totally up for relocating, but I don’t currently…[Read more]

@ragnarok, @hannahrenner, @this-is-not-an-alien, @kimlikesart, @reveriewriter

As a newcomer, I am not averse to wandering around in other people’s worlds and having half the characters be children. On the other hand, I also don’t mind starting over (and I have no idea what the other plans were), so…

No problem! You should see how bad I am about answering emails🙃.

Kianda

The fact that people kept tumbling out of thin air should not have been terribly surprising to Kianda, considering the circumstances. It certainly put her on edge though. Beside her, Goya cursed and whirled to face the newcomers. If things kept on in this…[Read more]

I remember reading City of Ember! It was fun; I really enjoyed it, but it’s been a while. Maybe I should read it again. I think sometimes I read too much lol. I am currently reading an Amelia Peabody; a mystery series about this woman who’s an Egyptologist and somehow, there always manages to be a murder in her vicinity. She’s…[Read more]

Agatha Christie is a lot of fun! I think one of my favorites by her is the Secret Adversary, though I haven’t read it in a while. I recently read Curtain: Poirot’s last case, and I can’t decide what I think about that. The last book in a series is always kind of sad. Some of my other favorite authors/books are Brandon Sanderson,…[Read more]

Your world sounds pretty cool! I’m afraid I’m generally not very good at world building. When I started writing, I was mildly obsessed with winged beings, so I wrote some about that. Also elemental magic. I’d enjoyed stories involving teams of kids, all with different strengths, so I used that quite a bit. The result was a story…[Read more]

Hi Zee! I’m Lydia. I love writing, reading, and music. Unfortunately, I cannot do art, but I greatly admire those who can. When did you start writing? I started when I was twelve because I also daydream a ton, and I couldn’t focus on school because of it. Writing helped me live a little more in ‘the real world’. Is there an author…[Read more]

“Ow,” it said.

In a flash, Goya was on his feet again. Ignoring the boy he’d nearly crushed, he looked around to see the kid from earlier…[Read more]

Age: 28

Appearance: Tall, grey eyes, keeps her curly blond hair in a buzz cut (she lives in a rather hostile environment and considers long hair a liability – hence her designation of Goya’s hair ‘absurd’).

Personality: Serious, though she can be quite sarcastic. Willing to work with people and be…[Read more]

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.🙃

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]

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]

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]

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

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!

Welcome to the character castle! Igua must now either give up his most prized possession or take part in the fashion show. After which, Rhianna is trying to run a rebellion…[Read more]

Aha.🙂 Yes, please!

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

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]

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]

Hi Olivia! I’m Lydia, I’m relatively new here. What is the Witche’s Owl about? I have a couple stories in the works, one fantasy and one sci-fi. I’m very torn about which one to focus on. Have you finished any novels before? I’ve only gotten through a full draft of one, and I’m procrastinating on the revision.

I also love…[Read more]

Hi! I’m Lydia, I’m currently seventeen. Do you have a current project? At the moment, I’m torn between a couple things; a sci-fi and a fantasy, both somewhere in the YA/children’s area. What’s your favorite part about writing? For me, I really love my characters. It’s so much fun playing around with them, watching how they interact, and…[Read more]

Well, here goes.

Hi! I’m Lydia. Is this your very first story? What’s it about? How far have you gotten in writing it? I’ve been writing for about five years now, but I only recently finished my first full length story, a kids book about djinn triplets who attempt to kidnap a princess. All four wind up getting lost in the desert and must find their…[Read more]
