@jared-williams I’m writing Kit’s right now, and I’ll try to do Val’s sometime soon!
I think @inkhorn ‘s characters to still have to share theirs too 🙂

@ethan-leonard Hi! I think I can help give advice on a few of these points, but fair warning these are topics I love to talk about and I’m going to start rambling XD
First things first:
PRAY – I know that when you put your story, your writing and creative process into God’s hands, He’ll answer that prayer. He’s given us creativity and a p…[Read more]

ALSO
A friend of @rose-colored-fancy and I made this petition involving Rose’s poor character Gav (some of you may remember him and Liorah) and Kit’s ever-suffering eldest brother Eli, as well as one of her own stressed and suffering characters XD
It’s just for fun, obviously, but here it is if anyone wants to take a look XD

Huh. I never thought about that, but it makes a lot of sense! I’m not sure quite what it is, but something about the way you write Ku makes her feel so real an…[Read more]

@ethan-leonard it’s going to be a sad day for Saevus when he no longer has anyone to fight…tbh if he weren’t so evil I’d feel sorry for him

calidris replied to the topic Character Castle 2.0 in the forum Fantasy Writers 3 years, 10 months ago
I really appreciate that! Violence isn’t *as* big of an issue for me personally, but it’s still really nice to be prepared in advance XD
Lol I guess Saevus is going to Saevus XD Sounds good, but just make sure everyone else has a chance to write their’s beforehand!
Out of context this just sounds so…cursed and chaotic
Which it kind o…[Read more]

I didn’t mention it, but that’s a huge part of it too. Even if a girl hasn’t experienced that specific kind of trauma, she’s almost certainly experienced some degree of sexual harassment or objectification. This isn’t to say that guys aren’t abused too, but I’m almost 100% certain that in general it’s not this ingrained fear or concern like i…[Read more]

@jared-williams hey so, I just wanted to let you know that your post with Ku was really good, but it was really upsetting tbh. It was really well written, but I think that the fact that it was well written made it that much more real and disturbing. I’m not saying this to criticise you or make you feel guilty in any way, but I felt like I s…[Read more]

Nice! Kit and Basil (one of my former castle occupants) were both inspired by characters from my favorite anime/manga XD
I’ve actually never watched an Isekai anime before…
You mean the worst regrets thing? I have a character I’m going to introduce at the very end, so is it ok if Seavus holds off until then?
I’m going to use the worst r…[Read more]

I’ll have to make this one pretty brief!
That’s really cool!
Good autistic representation is really, really small in media tbh so I’m always really interested when I hear that people are writing autistic characters!
It’s interesting, I’ve found that the emotional connection to my characters and my story really grew as I started using my own…[Read more]

Ok, so the fish food thing was morbidly brilliant! I actually really liked that part ngl
Also I think we’ve just seen so many HORRIFIC backstories in this castle we’re not fazed anymore :’)
Not that I haven’t contributed lol
Ku and Abirami in general are really fascinating to me! I really love how @jared-williams created such a…[Read more]

calidris replied to the topic Character Castle 2.0 in the forum Fantasy Writers 3 years, 10 months ago
I think we should probably wait until Rose gets back! Maybe in the meantime, we can explore some of the interactions between characters who’re waiting for the show to begin? We could even find out a seating arrangement so we have established groups!

@lady-grace ok so first of all I hope this isn’t weird to say, but you and your family seem really cool XD
I’d especially feel self conscious doing a Gollum impression if my parents are around ngl.
I’m curious, what are some of the most interesting things you’ve seen in here?
Also, I totally get that with Yarrow. The good thing is that this…[Read more]

@denali-christianson well, I’m very curious to hear your response, because I believe you have a magic system in your story, right?
It’s not a hard line for me, but there are a few things I like to take into consideration:
1. Is the author a believer?
I’m much more likely to read a book with magic in it if the author is a believer and is…[Read more]

@lady-grace LotR is so good! And that’s so cool that all three of you share this love for the series! Tbh I think my favorite would have to be Gandalf XD But Eowyn and Galadriel are also favorites of mine! AND YOU CAN DO A GOLLUM IMPRESSION? I think it’d be fun to learn how to do it…but I feel far too self conscious to actually prac…[Read more]

@jared-williams I have a few thoughts regarding this! First of all, I completely agree with what @lady-grace said. I don’t think that nudity itself is inappropriate, but rather the context and kind of portrayal. Of course, I think it’s one of those things that you don’t want to just casually throw in a story, but if it’s a logical, natural in…[Read more]
