Hello! I have a few questions regarding gunshot wounds
I have a character who’s going to be gunned down in an act of revenge, and I’m trying to balance that fine line between drama and realism.
For a little bit of context, this is set in a fictional Cold War setting, so medical technology, ambulances, telephones, etc. are all present. This c…[Read more]

Valencia:
“Your turn, Valencia!” My stomach drops as I stare up the cliff.
“I can’t.”
“What do you mean you can’t? You haven’t even tried it yet!”
“I’m not strong enough.” My voice fades to a barely audible murmur as a part of me dies inside. I didn’t want Kit – or anyone for that matter – to know how weak I really am.
“That’s alr…[Read more]

@jared-williams Kit and Valencia are free if you’d like to start an interaction between them and Ku/Abirami!

Valencia:
The last of the street lights flicker on, scattering the inky shadows on the damp sidewalk. The sickly yellow glow flashes across Kit’s keys as they twirl around his finger, flickering in and out of his hand to the beat of some inaudible tune. My chest tightens as the keys slip just beneath his fingertips. Just five minutes be…[Read more]

@rose-colored-fancy the fact that Kit has already reached boi status is legitimately concerning to me
I’ll try to write their introduction today! In the meantime, here is a sketch of a smug Kit

Thank you! The story and characters have developed a lot since last posted, and I’m really looking forward to testing them out in here!

@emily-waldorf *waves*
What’s the current situation in the castle?
Also @this-is-not-an-alien I can’t help but think that Ehud and Kit would get along spectacularly, and by that I mean they’d burn the world down XD

@everyone I think I’m finally ready for a return!
@merieshenanigans @mamaauthoress I think it’s lees chaotic in here by now, so I’m going to be focusing on my characters in here! Feel free to drop in some of yours too!
Unfortunately, I’m giving Basil and Saskia a break and a long nap (in other words, I’m taking Basil out of the Castle before…[Read more]

calidris replied to the topic Male characters question in the forum Characters 3 weeks ago
I agree with everything you guys are saying, but I do have a few thoughts I would love to add. One thing that I’ve noticed in some Christian circles is that there’s a focus on masculinity as our society defines it, but not as it’s defined in the Bible. I have had experiences with men who many Christians would define as extremely masculine by w…[Read more]

@edmund-lloyd-fletcher Hello! I have a few tips if you’d like to hear them.
First of all, I really like how you approached the lighting in this piece! Lighting is pretty hard, but the way you approached it is really fun and dynamic (which is pretty impressive considering that you’re new to digital art!).
One thing that I noticed is that the c…[Read more]

@merieshenanigans oh good, you’ll love it here then xD That’s very fair, and tbh it’s kind of a rule of thumb that all of your own characters are horrible nasty brats and everyone else’s are precious cinnamon rolls (except then you reach a certain level of familiarity and you start making up your own tragic headcanons for other people’s…[Read more]

calidris replied to the topic hullo peeps! in the forum Introduce Yourself 3 months, 1 week ago
Idek what to say to this. @merishenanigans it’s way worse than anything you can imagine, like it made me tear up and I rarely, if ever, cry for stories.
Also @rose-colored-fancy how can you possibly call me out for making Basil sad when you went and wrote that???
Well I have to say, your reasoning is slightly more mature than mine. I j…[Read more]

@merieshenanigans Here it is! Hopefully we’ll be able to get it up and running soon, but in the meantime I have some catch-up to do…
Also, like I said, absolutely no pressure to stay active. I think most, if not all of us here have taken ridiculously long leaves of absence xD

calidris replied to the topic hullo peeps! in the forum Introduce Yourself 3 months, 2 weeks ago
Ok so to start this off
@merieshenanigans, meet @rose-colored-fancy, @rose-colored-fancy, meet @merieshenanigans. You guys are my two online friends, and I’m so excited that you’re finally getting to “meet!”
That’s a relief, because I was mildly concerned when he didn’t make it onto that list xD I too love Tolkien, as you know quite well b…[Read more]

OK, so this is basically just like the Character Castle 2.0, but with a special emphasis on spill over 🙂 So if anyone has any characters from Character Castle 2.0 they want to move in here, or would like to explore different dynamics with the same characters, feel free to move them in and out of here at will. It’s basically just a different r…[Read more]

calidris replied to the topic Character Castle 2.0 in the forum Fantasy Writers 3 months, 3 weeks ago
@everyone sorry I haven’t been as active recently! I think we have so many characters in here that it’s getting hard to establish any new character dynamics besides the relationships we already have. Also, I have a friend who’s going to be joining Story Embers soon, and I don’t want to just drop her right in the middle of this unbridled chaos l…[Read more]

Vitus Corvo:
6’5” of bone and sinew, purest blood and sharpest instinct.
200 pounds of raw nerve and muscle, carefully curated for a single purpose – to kill and destroy, and perhaps in due time, to be destroyed by one stronger than he.
I don’t suppose he will ever know how much I sacrificed to save him from that fate, but it’s enough for me…[Read more]

@denali-christianson that’s honestly a very fair and valid response xD I’m looking forward to it as well! I don’t want to give anything away, but I think they have a lot more similarities than either of them would like to admit
Aww thanks! It took so long, but I’m very, very pleased with how it turned out! It definitely pushed me, but in…[Read more]
