Thank you! 😀 I will! I may not be finished with my other critiques by then, so I may have to just in late. But better late than never, right? ;P

@elisha-starquill
I am SO SO happy to hear the Lord has led you here then. For me, One Year Adventure Novel was the first place I realized that stories were powerful and that our imaginations were gifts. And that when sanctified and used under the Holy Spirit, they can truly change lives and bring glory to God. I still have SO MUCH to learn in…[Read more] -

XD That is a-okay. I often have the same problem. It takes me several minutes to think of how to best sum up a story to someone. <:-P Well, that case, just lemme know when you have a synopsis up! 😉 I'm okay with typical stories so long as the characters are precious.

@writercatherine Hey! 😀 So I guess this is what we use in the place of a DM? Anyway, thanks for welcoming me and it’s great to meet you! How long have you been part of the guild?
Oh man, favorite book series is hard, but I would have to say probably Lloyd Alexander’s Prydain Westmark Trilogy or Lord of the Rings. It’s hard because I haven’t…[Read more]-
Hi! I’m sorry; I’ve been really inactive here of late. I’ve been part of the guild now since… looks like August 25, wow!
My favorite right now is the Restoration series by Terri Blackstock. It’s the best Christian fiction I’ve ever read. Highly recommend that one. The Four Kingdoms series by Melanie Cellier is another great Christian Fiction…[Read more]

Ohh, those books! My dad read those to me and my siblings when we were younger! It’s been a long time.
-
That is totally fine. :] I’m really inactive right now too. Just too many cool things going on. <:]
Thank you so SO much for recommendations! I'll definitely keep an eye out for those. Oh man, Rebel of the Sands is one of my favorites. <3 Thanks!
-
Yay! Did you hear that she’s writing the Notorious Virtues? It’s something related to Rebel of the Sands, but I forget what.
-
-
No, I did not hear about that! 😀 Wait, is it one of stories based on one of the other kingdoms? One of the more medieval English ones? Because if so, maybe I have heard of it… @writercatherine

@april-j-rhys Not sure? All I know comes from her newsletter and Goodreads (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/38347283-the-notorious-virtues).

Ooo. Yes, that sounds very interesting…thank you! 🙂

@fallen-prince I totally would, but I have like six other stories in the queue first. <:P So sorry, man, but your name is on, so I WILL come back to yours. 😉
Also, condolences for your turtles. I missed this vital piece of information somehow.

@anne_the_noob14
I’m finally back to respond to your epic response! XD Ack, that was so fun to read. Question swapping is just fun in general! I can’t believe it, but I have never actually heard of over half of those music artists and songs, which is sad and totally confirms the fact that I need to broaden my musical taste. XD But thanks for…[Read more]-

😀 I know! I love asking people questions! Yeah, you should totally check them out! IKR!?! I love that showwww!!!! Lol we probably did talk about Kiel before. I can’t remember who I talked about him to… So he’s basically a typical MC in a typical adventure novel. Does pretty typical stuff, etc. I really need to write up a synopsis to give people…[Read more]

@ariella-newheart XD So I found this public message thing, and I don’t know if it works in the place of a DM? If not, we can jump back to the thread, I guess. XP But thanks so much for the fantasy recommendations! I will keep an eye out for Aetherlight and Ilyon the next time I’m in a bookstore. <3 (Which is rare these days sadly). Also wanted to…[Read more]

@april-j-rhys You’re on my list of potential betas! My deadline for editing is the 21st of June, so keep an eye out for a notification about beta-reading around that time. 😀

@steward-of-the-pen O.O I cool, I didn’t know we could do public messages like this! 😀 Nice. Okay.
So, just wanted to get back with you and say that I’ve officially added the link you sent to my critiquing/readers queue, so I definitely hope to keep up with it! 😀 Please feel free to let me know if/when you post more. I definitely enjoy the real…[Read more]

@april-j-rhys Oh, cool, I forgot I sent you that! I will note that it’s actually just a prologue I wrote about a year ago, which is a bit out of date because the story has changed a lot since then. (I’m also a better writer now. xD) So it’s not the official story, but it might give you a bit of a feel for it. I won’t be posting any more of it (I’m…[Read more]

AAAhh, I see. XD Out of date is fine by me. I will definitely keep an eye out for when you need beta readers though. I have your name down in my critiquing queue, so when I get to you, I’ll check back with you and see where you’re at. 🙂
Thanks for offering! I will definitely tag you if/when I post something on here. Which I’m hoping will be…[Read more]

@elisha-starquill @fallen-prince Well met, fellow guild members! *bows* Welcome to Parimi Alca! 🙂 I was the new guild member a couple months back, so we can be newbies together. 😉 For both of you, what are some of your goals here on Story Embers? Do you feel called to write as a hobby, career, ministry, etc.?

Okay! 🙂 I’ll definitely think about it. Full time job and SE Sky Squad Comic is taking up most of my time, but it would be neat if I could. Thanks!

Wait, do I actually need a NaNo account to do this? 🙂

Also. I’m going on the record as saying I vote for the “Sky’s the Limit.” Crystal Skies is gorgeous, and it makes sense once you start the story, but it doesn’t awaken much intrigue otherwise. It could just be referring to nice blue skyes that are crystal clear or an…[Read more] -

This is kind of a rare, artistic style. So I vote making this story as artsy, angsty and deep as possible. :]
Okay, seriously though. Unfortunately I will not be available to do much on this project. *sadness* But here’s my two cents anyway:
I really like the idea of the reader being the main character and guiding them through the story/dream…[Read more]
