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]

@nuetrobolt, Coralie has the right idea. The critique topic is there for us to look over each others writing and provide feedback, and this activity is just “go do that.” Read someone’s stuff, and then let them know your honest thoughts.

Wilson’s non-fic (Death by Living and Notes From The Tilt-A-Whil) are both amazing but also very poetic and a little random, so it really comes down to taste. Personally they are my favorite ever.

@corkybookworm You haven’t? That’s sad. You totally should. I love a lot of different things. The workshops are usually really good and insightful, and it’s cool to talk to other writers. Some conferences have opportunities for you to sit down one-on-one with some of the faculty for “mentoring sessions”. Those are a little intimidating but s…[Read more]

@nuetrobolt I FOUND ONE!!!!!!!!
(Also, Hi, I haven’t written you an intro but it’s coming I promise.)
Which one is you favorite? Have you read either of his non-fics? What do you like most about his writing style?

Brandon Miller replied to the topic A.A. Milne in the forum Story Analysis 8 years, 4 months ago
So I’m a guy and that means I have to be matured beyond Winnie the Pooh. But I’m also actually maturing, so I am coming back around to being able to admit that it is precious and wonderful. I have a friend who loves Pooh and one evening a bunch of us grown people sat around the living room and read it out loud and it’s a very whimsical book an…[Read more]

Hey, @blueberry, are you still here? I’m sorry your reply slipped through my notification box. I wasn’t told that you were joining Rillumen, but maybe that slipped through my box too. If you’re still around, I’ll get everything sorted out right quick and either give you a right and proper welcome or point you in the right direction.
For, @corky…[Read more]
