Yeah, this group is full of great ideas!!!

@pookiemonster made a good point: our days are dwindling. I listed out all of the ideas I found in the doc thus far and came up with seven ideas. So, if you guys want to go on over and take a vote, I think that would help get the ball rolling so we can start an…[Read more]

Hey guys,

NEW GUILD WAR CHALLENGE! This time we’ve got two weeks to come up with the most emotional death scene we can write. Here’s the dirt:
Max words: 2,500
Due: 6/18/18
Topic: Death scene

So, last time we did this we wrote two (really good) stories and ended up having to choose only one. Not only was it hard and sad, it also wasted ha…[Read more]

Hey Guys!

First off, some announcements, sad and happy.

You may have noticed, that AshlyVye has disappeared. Story Embers had a policy change on minimum forum age (for legal reasons), and she was a year shy. I do hear, however, that her birthday isn’t too far around the corner and hopefully she will return to us soon.

Now, happy, we have y…[Read more]

@archer360 So, for some reason, I can’t see your reply here, but I have an email that says you did reply. XD So, I apologize for the time it took to answer your questions!

I agree that making their ages clearer would be a good move. You don’t even have to say what ages exactly, just clue us in that he’s a little older.

Yes, I think telling the…[Read more]

Have you ever/ do you have a friend who has a friend who you happen to know, and you don’t find that out until you meet that friend at a party hosted by your other friend? Well, I did today and it made the world a lot smaller.

@Josiah, I was at the Barry’s house this afternoon, for John Barry’s graduation and was introduced to your dad! Being…[Read more]

Lynn Renard replied to the topic New Excerpt for Theme Discussion in the forum Critiques 7 years, 12 months ago

@archer360 Thanks for your feedback! I’ll definitely take it under consideration when I next get the chance to edit! (Today and like the next week and a half, life outside the computer is demanding most of my attention.) And yes, I do have more written! I have a finished draft, even! 8D But it still needs a lot more work. xD Would you be…[Read more]

Howdy! Okay, I left feedback for Candy Cane Killer, the Engraved by Hope Prologue, and Cook and the Darger. I hope to go back for more over the weekend. 🙂

Coralie replied to the topic Engraved By Hope Prologue in the forum Critiques 8 years ago

@archer360 Oooh! You’ve certainly built up the tension! Well done! I believe you have successfully accomplished your goal of drawing readers in.

I do think skipping the hospital scene is something you should consider. It’s not that I didn’t like the scene, but it doesn’t serve to draw me in any more than the initial scene did and, as has been…[Read more]

You guys had an eventful week while I was gone, let me go ahead and hit up some of the highlights.

First off, GUYS WE WON A GUILD WAR!!! I saw the numbers. It was not close. You guys ROCKED it. WAY TOO GO. I wish I could come give you all high-fives or something bc wow I am proud. Nice work.

Our (obvious) MVP was @Jane-Mare…[Read more]

Jane Maree replied to the topic Welcome to Rillumen! in the forum Announcements 8 years ago

Hey folks, I’m here to bid you a fond fare well. As you can see, I’m now a guildmaster, and I’m off to start my own guild. Which means we’re now rivals. 😛

Kidding, kidding. You’re all still epic. 😉 But this is where I leave you. It was a pleasure to be with you all, and I couldn’t just leave without a little explanation and farewell. *salutes…[Read more]

Hey everybody!

Before I get to the activity, I have a few announcements:
1) My fam is on vacation this week so this is the last you’ll hear from me. Lucky for ya’ll, the fabulous @Rolena-Hatfield had agreed to be acting guildmaster in my stead. (So hey, I guess you’re going to be rolling with her own personal brand of tyranny this week. I di…[Read more]

Inkling-for-Christ started the topic How can I find MY Genre? in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years ago

Hey,

So I was asked recently “What genre do you write?” I said Dystopian. Later I realized that dystopian is a type not a genre. I’ve been dabbling and I know mystery and fantasy aren’t my gig, so how can I find what genre fits…[Read more]

Brandon Miller started the topic Word War! in the forum Announcements 8 years ago

Hey everybody!
Who plans on writing this week? (That should be all of you.) We’ve got a chance to snatch the guild war crown from Avensbeck. That’s right, another prompt. However this time around, instead of writing off a prompt, we’re going to all work on our on WIPs.
Ladies, gentlemen, members of Rillumen all, I welcome you to our first word…[Read more]

Hey Everybody, it’s another week!

However, since I posted last week’s topic really late (shame on me and my cow, I know), not all of you got to it. And *spoileralert* our next week activity relies heavily on this week, SO

If you didn’t do last week’s activity, give it a shot this week. If you did, do it again in the same room. I want to pus…[Read more]

@kayla-joy Let me guess… a movie theatre? 🙂

@archer360 Hmm.. a bedroom maybe?

Brandon Miller started the topic 2018 Week 2 – Finding Details in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 8 years ago

Hey Everybody,

Made it one week in before I fell behind. Yay go me. 😛

Alright, anyway, this week’s challenge.

Writing description is a delicate balance of providing enough details to create a picture, while moving on to the actual story fast enough to keep from boring the reader. One critically important method of doing this is finding si…[Read more]

@archer360 You have no idea how much you just made my day 😀 Thanks so much for the feedback!!

Your description of Evlynn is pretty spot on to what I imagined so that makes me happy.

OR the note fell into the pool of light

Yes. Just yes, yes, yes. You have no idea how you just tied a really cool plot element together. I might just do it. :D…[Read more]

Don’t let it be said that we were the aggressors here; Rillumen is the last guild to enter the conflict. However, our honor must be upheld. To war we go.

Yesterday, our rival guilds New Wessex and Avensbeck began a war which we must now join. The first battle is to be fought this week, through long nights and crammed lunch breaks. Want to hel…[Read more]
