thank you!

(I realized a while ago that I really need to delete the email associated with my OG account, @anne_the_noob14 , so I made this new one. My other will still be active for a bit, but I’ll end up deleting/archiving/whatever the other one after a bit.)

Anyways, new introduction since it’s been a while!

Name: Olivia or Livi – I’m cool…[Read more]

Thank you so much. And that would be great! If you decide to write any chords for it please let me know 🙂

Also yours is  so good!! I love it!!

@scoutfinch190

And I agree with @anne_the_noob14  ‘s assessment on cut off ears.

Thank you! that would make a lot of sense, I’m still trying to figure out the details of a character, and I was toying with the idea that his ears were cut off as a baby because he’s part human, part a race that has pointed ears (telepathic elves essentially, called Enteks), or leaving him as just human.

@the-inkspiller

So a character of mine (@anne_the_noob14 not Brendin, I swear) had a longsword thrown at his back when he was 17.  I’ve already decided that it miraculously managed to cut his back open from his right shoulder to his left hip, but my questions for you are:

1) Is it possible the impact from…[Read more]

Woah, that’s a really dangerous way of thinking. >_<

@anne_the_noob14,

Hello! *waves* I agree wholeheartedly. 😉

Y’know, reading that Alessio likes Bren so much, I think I’ll just swap Jericho out with someone else rather than both Bren and Jericho.  And I’ve thought of another option for who to swap in:

Jango Bastion, an Eya Greycloak (of the Falmarin tribe) that serves under Bren’s uncle Joffrey.  As one of the Greycloaks he’s an e…[Read more]

That’s good. (:

The Castle:

Oui! It is!!!

I’ll bring older Nithel in when they’ve escaped/left this room… *watches/reads eagerly/waits*

Ooh… that makes sense… I hope you find things!

I’m already looking at Christmas presents for all my siblings BECAUSE THIS YEAR I’LL FINALLY DO IT I’LL FINALLY GET THEM ALL SOMETHING THEY REALLY LIKE!!!!! LOL, it’s a running challenge in my family cos all of us are really hard to…[Read more]

Thank you, Livi and Neasa.

I have been off for a while but am finally getting back on the SE Forums.
Thank you for your prayers and concern.
May you both have a very blessed day.  My mom finished her race well*.

Wow… Very good Cathy.

@anne_the_noob14

*waves* Allo!
How are you doing?
How is school? (:

1. If you had to go on a dangerous quest, which would you bring?

c. A good friend

2. What would you rather do?

a. Save the world (even if it hurts)

3. Which weapon do you prefer?

b. Long-range

4. What are you more afraid of?

d. Physical pain (torture)

5. What would embarrass you more?

a. A personal secret being…[Read more]

1500 WORDS?!? CONGRATS!!

Aww, thanks so much!!! I totally didn’t deserve that and it made my day. 🙂

(Also… very excited for this new piece you’ve posted… :))

@anne_the_noob14,

Yahoo, I can’t wait to hear from you! And best of luck on your exams. 🙂

Ahh, the dreaded monster of exams! I hope the exam doesn’t stress you out too much and that it goes well! <3

@obrian-of-the-surface-world

I like the new questions! I must admit, I’ve always been fascinated with the recurring numbers in scripture. 40, 7, 8, and 12, for example. I actually started using it in my WIP XD Seven main…[Read more]

That sounds great, Livi!

Remember, the exercise only requires one scene, but if you want to do more, the file size might take longer to upload and share. Totally up to you.

Thank you for giving it a shot.  As for the questions, these are what one or more of us will answer for you regarding your submission.
But you are welcome…[Read more]

…AND I have added one additional question that goes to the value of this fun exercise. 😎  12 Disciples – 12 Tribes of Israel – 12 Gates in the Heavenly City – 12 – Eggs in a Dozen… (Okay, I’ll admit I got carried away with this last…[Read more]

Hi Joelle,

Whew! It has been a long and busy week.
Trying to catch up on responding to posts.

So, let me clarify a little.  These snippets of scenes are extracted from anywhere in a longer work, so they will often be introduced without context or backstory.  We are just looking at the intrinsic value of a single scene, which m…[Read more]

Aw, thank you!!! I honestly had no idea what I was going to do with the prompt I got. XD

(BTW… you should submit a story of your own! I’ll listen and critique it…)

I’m in the middle of yours now. I’ve gotta pause and continue it later, but I absolutely love it! And your accent as well! And I agree with those who’ve said you read it beautifully. I find that your accent (and any nervousness that came through as you read) only added to the narration. It feels real. Feels dangerous. Feels…

[Read more]

Awesome, thx for the feedback!! I may go over my questions again and try and make it more accurate. 😉

(And ha, you do seem like a good Lytt. It also seems like most of the writers who’ve taken the quiz got Valent, for whatever reason…)

And go ahead! If you have the time, let me take it. *begging puppy eyes*

Aw, thx!! Welcome to the itsy bitsy community of yours truly. 😉 XD

LIVIIIII!!! WELCOME BACK FOR A VISIT!!! *tackles you with hug* And yes, we have some new peeps! *introduces Cathy (IDK if you met her), Neasa, Peter, and Emily*

Basically what has happened is a lot of characters were switched out and around, a few more people left, more people came in, the castle threw a lot of nasty stuff at…[Read more]

*thumbs up*

Welcome(ish?) @anne_the_noob14!

Welp…random thin…[Read more]

Okay, did some more research! Here’s the new plan!

I haven’t found a single instance of a plant being its own antidote, so I changed it a bit. It’s fairly common for poisonous plants and antidotes to be close together. Jewelweed and poison ivy, or stinging nettle and plantain.

So, I’m going to use that so my characters can…[Read more]

Ooh, I know that feeling. Ouch. (Where’s your cane? XD)

@anne_the_noob14,

We’ll miss you, but I totally get it. Thanks for playing along with me as I worked through Lytt’s question. 🙂

Yay, hello! We are reigniting this forum. 😛 I’ve found it very helpful when I started something similar on a different website, and I was thinking perhaps you might too (but I also read your thing about Character Castle, so don’t be obliged to). Basically we all post stories/parts of stories that we’re working on and get…[Read more]

Good it’s in a good way!

You will be missed as well, and I will eagerly await your occasional hello. <3

And aye… oy… I am. 😶

Thank you for the help!

Antidote from same plant: My immediate reaction to that is one of skepticism. I’m not sure how the flower and the root can be opposite and cancel the other out. But I don’t think it’s totally outside the realm of possibility. (I’m also not a botanist.   )

I’m going to put some more research into that! Tha…[Read more]

Nithel’s lips parted in silent shock, his caramel eyes wide as he glanced to Alessio. Then his shoulders straightened, and his gaze hardened on a form behind the youth. Dark in the haze of orange and red.

Zounds. He stared harder, brows lowering. Either…[Read more]

@anne_the_noob14 @this-is-not-an-alien @kylie-wingfeather @jasmine @rusted-knight @backwardslivewriter

Nithel pressed his lips together, meeting his friend’s gaze. Nithel’s eyes are pained more than anything else, and disapointed. He just… Nithel looks down, biting his lips, and chest aching for the man. Was he dead? Had he… Nithel cleared his throat and glanced up…[Read more]

HAHAHAHA!! I never even thought about what everyone would think after Virtus disappeared – RIGHT AFTER eating the candy. XD Not good. 😛

When should I bring Malvat in?

Alessio’s words of confirmation stun Nithel, and he’s shocked his words were considered.

“By your postulation, sir,” Alessio continued, “‘your uncle’ could banter from our logic to his as infinitely as pi and would do much better to either choose the box blindfolded or make both of them traps.”…[Read more]

I honestly think that the Castle isn’t that great for me developing characters I’ve already introduced in my book. XD I’m really having trouble with Virtus and I think I may be ruining him, so I’m gonna take him out. However, since I find the Castle…[Read more]
