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]

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]

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 4 years, 5 months 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 4 years, 5 months 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]

@everyone I’m going to skip over the *cough current events cough* because I have a v e r y s p e c i a l a n t a g o n i s t I want to write asap, plus I frankly don’t even know how to write their reactions lol

I stop short, peeking out from behind Basil’s coat. There’s another figure crumpled at the chipped base of a looming…[Read more]

Thank YOU for being awesome, you and everyone else here! You guys are the best!
Evie and Basil have some very drastic differences in their backstories and living situations, but they also have some parallels, so this is going to be really interesting!

@denali-Christianson RIGHT? Like first of all, burning to death is an absolutely horrific way to die, but she wasn’t even completely dead afterwards! And this all happened RIGHT IN FRONT OF NIAROK
Poor Niarok, who tried so desperately hard to protect her, to restrain her. It’s absolutely horrific and it’s very, very good
I’m not going to sa…[Read more]

@everyone where do I even begin lol
I’m going to go ahead and pretend Basil and Saskia are up to date with the events lol. Also, I’m officially removing Sasha. He’s so annoying and toxic and emotionally exhausting to write that I actually removed him from the story altogether. I’m pretty sure he won’t be missed lol
Also, Basil and Saskia ha…[Read more]
