@reveriewriter … and @everyone?

My little sister @this-is-not-an-alien set this up. It’s barely up at the moment, but it’s supposed to be this character castle continued. Well, rebooted, since we were doing that anyway. If you want to – no pressure!

p.s. the only social media I have is Facebook and a probably-soon-to-be-abandoned blog called Silver Pen Strokes

Thanks @solanelle for starting this thread. As far as I can judge on a spur-of-the moment decision (I only just now figured out about the forums’ closure), I will not have much to say on your blog, but thank you so much for the offer, and I would like a link to your blog. 🙂

I also wanted to say, I know of this really great christian writers’…[Read more]

As soon as the door clicked shut, Loray was made aware of faint music that was playing somewhere off in the distance. How large was this room? Clearly it was bigger than she’d assumed, but surrounded by the darkness it was impossible to tell.

Nevertheless, Loray’s cur…[Read more]

Heeyyy! Late is the order of the day, it seems. I had good intentions of replying right away, but events conspired against me and here I am, two days later.

The sand in the Ring would be hot tomorrow, but for now, the air outside was bitingly cold as always. Kianda reveled in the fierce wind, hardly noticing that the metal beneath her was so…[Read more]

@hannahrenner

Yeah, you’re right. I’m just bummed since I was really looking forward to interacting with people on here.

@reveriewriter

I saw a suggestion in the comments of the announcement about having members of the forum moderate it instead of the site team. Maybe they’d consider doing that with enough feedback from all of us??

I mean maaaaaaybe.

I honestly don’t know. We don’t know how long they’ve been debating this decision. Or what the goal is. Or how m…[Read more]

@this-is-not-an-alien

Probably in reply to the announcement.

Maybe it’s worth a shot! Where do we post feedback then?

*Dramatically blows nose* This song speaks to me right now: https://youtu.be/Vo3amGpGeHQ

It only lets me post one link at a time so here’s the link to the website I’m working on…

*numbly hands over folder of the entire Castle that I archived for years because I compulsively save things*

Well…I don’t exactly have a finished website I was just practicing layout design and working on something I might do for my WIP so it’s very much under construction but I guess it’ll really motivate me to finish it if there’s…[Read more]

We should write an appeal. And get the whole Story Embers community to sign it.

“Is it this way?” Loray questioned as she wandered the halls. She’d only been living in her mentor’s estate for a few weeks now, and still she found herself getting lost in the vast halls. Currently, she was late for her calligraphy lessons. What calligraphy had to do with singing songs for the royal family and their peers, Loray wasn’t sure, but…[Read more]

I just saw it ;-: I can’t believe they’re closing it!! And when I’d just joined too 🙁 Why??????????????????????

*frantically copying and pasting the entire thread*

@this-is-not-an-alien

I am crying vicariously through your crying emojis. They just about sum up the situation. Though it’s too bad there isn’t an angry sobbing emoji. We need about fifty of those.

You have a website? That’s pretty cool! I’m totally up for relocating, but I don’t currently…[Read more]

I just can’t believe this is going to…[Read more]
