Hey guys! Sorry this is so last minute; I completely forgot about the guild war. 😧

I know you guys have already gotten started planning and that we have like… only 2 days left, but I just wanted to throw this story idea out there just in case it might work. Since @j-a-penrose…[Read more]

Whaaaat? We WON?? Wow, congratulations Parimis!! Thanks for your hard work and thanks @julia and @steward-of-the-pen for helping to write up the doc for us! Congratulations everyone!

Is this the first time for our guild?

This is a good point. Inside the burning house probably wouldn’t be the best place to write the reminiscing scene. @j-a-penrose @everyone_else What do you guys think?

And if you agree, how should the MC and grandmother get out? Should we use an older MC who’s able to carry the grandmother out? Should a firefighter intervene? Any other…[Read more]

I’ve been writing up a draft for the past two days and came up with this, but I feel like it’s not dramatic enough and that it’s kinda bland. After reading @julia‘s draft though, hers sounds a lot better, and I think we should go with hers. I’ll post my draft here though just in case anyone wants to take anything from it or use it on the doc…[Read more]

@ariella-newheart Thanks! And yes, that character in the leaf snippet does seem oddly familiar, doesn’t it. 🤔 Ironically, I was also thinking of a red-headed, wavy-haired character while writing it. Maybe I was unconsciously thinking about Ariella. xD

And also, that’s a good point. 🤔

@elisha-starquill I really like that idea, and I’d say go f…[Read more]

@j-a-penrose Hey, thanks! Actually, I’ve been around, just been silently going through old topics and catching up on old lessons while learning to get around this huge forum. xD But thanks! It’s great to be back in the action again!

@steward-of-the-pen Oh wow, I love that quote. So you want to go for leaves? How’s something like this? This is s…[Read more]

This sounds like a neat prompt! The first “common” thing I thought of was an elderly patient’s hands. I was thinking about a very tender, emotional scene describing the hands of a character’s grandmother who’s teetering on the edge of life. Maybe have the character take focus on the paleness of her eyes, the emaciation of her body, but maybe mos…[Read more]

@rebecca-w Ooh, this sounds very interesting! What time period do you plan to set the story in? Will it be old? Futuristic?

@evelyn Yesss, that’s the first ability that popped into my mind too! It’s called psychometry, and I actually have a character in the making that has this ability too!

This sounds like a very interesting prompt! An idea that just crashed into my mind is. . . what if we told a story about or similar to Revelation? I think it would be really interesting to write the experience and feelings from John’s perspective and to contrast the fear, confusion, and awe he must have felt while viewing the visions. It would b…[Read more]

Hey, Parimis! Thanks for the warm welcomes. I’m glad to be here with you guys!

And welcome to all the other new members too!

AGHHH, hey Ari and Silver! So glad I can join the same guild as you guys!

cough cough  Ominous!? Maybe I should reconsider joining this guild. . .

No, I’m just kidding, haha. Nice to meet you! It’s great to meet…[Read more]

@mlbolangerauthor No problem! ^-^

@mlbolangerauthor @karthmin Haha, same! I didn’t know there was a Superpower Wiki either. I just found it a month or two ago since I was searching specifics on abilities for my characters. Research is key!

@mlbolangerauthor I think both would be considered empaths, only they don’t have the same extent of empathy abilities as each other. Empaths can range from just feeling emotions to being able to project or manipulate emotions. So I think both of your types of characters would be called empaths.

The only other terms I can think of are empathy…[Read more]
