@evelyn Alas, the only real debates I’ve had are with counter protestors who hate my guts and internet trolls. XP I wish I could have done regulated, civilized debate before that though. I take it you do debate?

@j-a-penrose XD Well, we have Elvish in our name and an awesome description, so I am happy indeed. I can’t wait to hopefully contribute…[Read more]

Seriously? 😀 That is SO COOL! Will you announce it somewhere when it is posted?

Ooo. You just had to mention he had a secret. XP I already have some guesses, but I should probably keep them to myself for now…looking forward to hopefully reading it someday! 😉

@the-fledgling-artist

Okay, thanks! I’ll find you!

Good for you. 🙂 If you love art as a means of storytelling and you love character design, then maybe spend extra time on the comic and animation side. Maybe more on the animation side if your characters do a lot of moving in your head. Just a thought! I do some illustrating/commission work and…[Read more]

This is really good. Spot on with taking a break to walk/run helping with story inspiration. 😉

That’s also a really good idea about the bed…I may have to try that eventually.

(Oh, yes! Also, I will try to be as active as possible. I love critiquing. But my new job takes up more time than I originally anticipated so I will probably be slow. Apologies in advance.)

Hello Parimi Alca! YAY! I’M IN A GUILD I’M IN A GUILD I’M IN A–!!

Sorry, had to get that out. :]

Thanks a ton for the warm welcome! I look forward to meeting you all, checking up your pages, and hopefully helping you as you write stories and share your worlds. *thumbsup* I wrote a long intro thingy in the main forum, so I shan’t repeat myself…[Read more]

@the-fledgling-artist Alas, I could not find you on IG…what is your username? (I’m ajrhys and those_mobian_rebel_kids)

@lin @the-fledgling-artist Oh no! Email never notified me of ya’ll replies for some reason. Sorry for disappearing on you! 🙂

@lin Thanks, Lin!  That’s really encouraging. <3 It’s great to meet you! I’ll definitely check your page out as well. 🙂

@the-fledgling-artist Oh, yay! I love meeting fellow artists as well. Art’s like writing, but…[Read more]

@jane-maree Hey! XD Wow, this is three weeks late. I’m afraid this happens sometimes. I get on a spree and I can reply fairly consistently and then something broadsides me and I’m gone for days. <:-P But even with all that, I never forget to come back eventually. Mostly. Like 95% of the time. XD

Just wanted to say that I really like the sound of…[Read more]

@selah-chelyah

Cool! I’ve never met someone with Selah as their first name…I rather like that. *characterinspirationmaybe*

I hope you can do it someday, then! 😉 Sure, I’ll email you! Sounds like a plan. Hopefully I’ll be caught up by the time you’re ready. And that is a-okay, I totally understand the over-committing thing. Plus, I’d want to…[Read more]

@selah-chelyah

Thank you very much! I really like your username. My pastor would often use the phrase “selah” in his sermons. 🙂

I have not done Cover Story, but it sounds really good. (But then again, everything Mr. S makes is good.) YES. If you like Cover Story, do OYAN. I would recommend OYAN to anyone who is serious about being a…[Read more]

@jane-maree YAAAY! *hurls confetti* (What if our hunger for story and our quest for meaning are somehow related? ;D) You’re making me miss Mr. S. He’s the best. I heard there were a lot of OYANers on here! It’s a shame I missed you. It’s a shame I stopped being regular on OYAN at all. ;-P It sounds like it’s still a good place. I heard debates…[Read more]

@j-a-penrose

Ah, nuts. Well. I’ll just have to work around that. XD If you need any readers, let me know! I’m hoping to join a guild and I do already have a list of other stories I need to read first, but I can add you to the queue. 😉 What are your stories about?

Wow, I recognized almost none of those names! I need to get with it! Thanks for…[Read more]

Hey, Jess! It’s great to meet you! I have heard a lot of great things about Kingdom Pen and always wanted to get more involved. ;-D I would love to hear more about your stories. Do you have them up somewhere online? Also, I know what you mean, blue is so calming. If I had to be stuck with one color for a week, it’d probably be blue or green.…[Read more]

@mckinley

Hey! Looks like you’ve already gotten some really great advice on this and I’m not a guy, but just thought I’d throw this in here in case.

I totally agree with everyone that singing and writing poetry isn’t girly. In fact I think it’s super manly, ’cause those are very passionate, deep, driven pursuits. (Not that girls are not…[Read more]
