Kit:

Are future timelines set in stone, or do they change depending on choices we make?

See, if I went ahead and told Val that my future self said I’d marry her, that’d probably ruin any chance I ever had with her to begin with.  But, if it’s set in stone, then I can just say whatever I want and I’ll marry her anyways…not that I’d…[Read more]

@inkhorn sounds good!  I’ll start working in his response XD

Also…I have a rather cursed idea for the next challenge: the characters have to participate in a very difficult challenge, and if they refuse or fail they have to walk in a fashion show as punishment XD

@rose-colored-fancy was thinking that the challenge could involve making the…[Read more]

@e-n-leonard That was so sad!  I keep forgetting that Mara is an antagonist…so it was so heartbreaking seeing her being so harsh with her younger self 🙁  That…plus she’s a Benevolent now…

I’m assuming she has a negative character arc?  Will she ever be redeemed?

@inkhorn I’d love that!

I actually had an idea that I could sub in Kit for that interaction instead, because he’s way more…umm…assertive than Val, with the added bonus of his own puffed up ego.  I think it would be funny to see them clash XD

If you’d rather work with Val, that’s totally fine too!  It would be a good exercise in a…[Read more]

Kit:

My shoes clatter in the thick silence as I sprint towards the light ahead.  Compared to that last challenge, this honestly seems pretty good.  And that last challenge is really the last thing I wanted to remember, so that’s why I’m choosing to focus on our lovely dinner instead.  Specifically, that time Val said my hair looked soft and si…[Read more]

Val:

I suck in my breath as the giant rips his sword from the Castle’s chest.  The Castle’s lifeless form crashes to the floor.

Now what?

Are we free?

The ground shakes as the the body crumbles in a cloud of white dust.

“A worthy battle, Saevus.  Well done!  I suppose you’ll all be wanting your reward?  Very well then!  I’ll grant you all a …[Read more]

@anyone else I missed

I’m going to go ahead and get started on that new challenge!

@everyone soooo…I have a rather disruptive update…

After some prayer about Spire and God’s will for the story, Spire underwent a MAJOR renovation in the span of maybe three days…to the point where I can’t actually title it Spire anymore because it’s not actually set in a city called Spire (I do plan on recycling it for Basil’s story,…[Read more]

@irishcelticredflowercrown

EXACTLY!   See, I think it’s good to show that side of humanity – I think a lot of people who turn to evil do have trauma or a lot of hurt in their past, and choosing to follow these desires give them a sense of control over their lives.  It’s interesting to think about how if circumstances had been slightly di…[Read more]

@irishcelticredflowercrown I have a few opinions on this!

So, I think I should start this off by saying that in general, people often seem to use the term “morally gray character” to refer to a likeable character with bad morals.  You could have two characters – say, an assassin or master thief – and depending on the way they are written, they…[Read more]

@mamaauthoress

Ahh gotcha.  That sounds like so much fun!

Hehe I’m really looking forward to seeing Kit get a taste of his own medicine XD

And thank you!  I’m really happy with how this one turned out!

@this-is-not-an-alien

See, I think that’s the key – he’s really does try to be respectful of her b0undaries and immediately backs off if she lets him know she feels uncomfortable or doesn’t like what he’s doing

IT DOES!!!!  But, it really draws a lot of attention when you really start getting into it…

EXACTLY!!!

@mamaauthoress

Oh…[Read more]

Here’s a painting I did of Kit recently!  I want to draw Val soon…but I have another important project planned so we’ll see 😉

@lady-grace YES DO IT!!!

@mamaauthoress those characters sound interesting!  Are they related to Ruan’s story by any chance?

@ethan-leonard Would you like to go ahead and have Saevus finish off Lord Castle?  I don’t think the vulture vomit idea is going to work out, since @jared-williams isn’t active right now

Actually @everyone I have an i…[Read more]

@mamaauthoress Here’s a description of my characters!

Valencia Page: 5’3″, pale skin, dark curly hair cut in a bob.

Val is quiet and introverted, as well as intelligent and observant.  She’s autistic, and has always struggled to make and keep friends.  She was close friends with one of Kit’s biological cousins as a child, but they were s…[Read more]

Honestly…has anyone ever told him?

I think Kit would either get smug and annoying about it or tear up XD

Actually it’s pretty much canon that little elderly women tell him he’s handsome and charming because he’s very polite towards them…so they get to see the nice version of him and then Val gets stuck with the smug aftermath XD

You…[Read more]

@mamaauthoress Welcome back!  Of course you can!  We’re actually in desperate need of some new plot/action at the moment (I just CAN’T get my characters to do anything,) so that’s perfect!  Would you like a rundown of the characters in the castle right now?
