Sahar

Perhaps I had been talking a little too fast. That happened sometimes. I shut up abruptly.

“Um, hi…hey. I’m Quin. Quin Miller. What’s—what are your names?” He said,

He noticed Acyn looking at his missing leg and blushed. Of course, I had noticed but I wasn’t about to show it. If Acyn was going to be rude I’d–

@noah-cochran

Yes, it is overused, but to be clear, I think it is incorrect and bad for the word magic to be used to describe fantastical abilities or elements. It’s not about it being confused with real magic, it’s about us not using the word magic at all. Magic is magic, sorcery is sorcery.  Thoughts?

I can see that, though I think the actu…[Read more]

HEY!!! (:
Lol, I’ve been told in my course to NEVER EVER call it Java instead of JavaScript cuz those are two different codes but yes I’m totally learning it! (*“learning”–of course–being kinda halfway doing exercises/practice work/study cards while surfing with 10-20 tabs up but that was how I studied for my learner’s drivers’ licence so…XD*)…[Read more]

Klein walked through the rubble. The dust had mostly settled by now, coating his armor in a light grey layer. And it was quiet. Far too quiet. His experience told him that there was no way all the enemies had been killed in the blast. A few had survived and were either still recovering or repositioning.

To his left, there was movement. Snapping…[Read more]

@noah-cochran

Seeing your thoughts more throughout this thread, I’m curious as to why making a natural ability “ritualistic” would turn it from okay to not okay, and how much you consider individual intent vs objective reality to matter in a “magic” system.

Sanderson’s systems are on a spectrum of natural and supernatural that you can’t really…[Read more]

Lorcan

Lorcan was honestly still trying to wrap his head around the two newcomers when Liorah and Ferran reappeared. Thankfully. Well not that he cared really.

And it appeared that they knew Sahar and Acyn. Because of course. Of course they did.

‘Flipping eejits,’ Lorcan muttered under his breath. He couldn’t handle anymore idiots in his life…[Read more]

@noah-cochran,

I’ll compose a message sometime and ask you you’re specific views.

😉 Will do!

Good, I can feel your anger, take a weapon, strike me down, and your journey to the–oh wait, I wasn’t supposed to say that out-loud. xD

*coughs* Yeah, WHOOPS. 😛 *cough cough*

There’s also a difference between writing a character who does something evil and actually practicing something evil. Magic (in the literal sense) is something we have to be extra careful about portraying, because I do think there’s a more narrow line between the two when it comes to magic than with some other things, but I don’t think it’s any…[Read more]

@r-m-archer

I think we’ll have to agree to disagree on this point. I don’t believe it’s anti-biblical to portray a fact of the world, be it physical or spiritual, so long as it’s done with biblical truth in mind and with care not to mislead readers.

There is a huge difference between portraying a fact (showing that it exists) and having a protago…[Read more]

@this-is-not-an-alien,

So far Daddy and @rusted-knight are the hardest

LOL, same (except I don’t have a brother)!! We’ll try and get my dad something really cool for his birthday, and then a month or less before his birthday he unpacks it from an Amazon box. *facepalm* Poor guy, he got COVID for his birthday this year. 🙁

XD Sorry, then. 😛

@kimlikesart

Wow that’s so cool!
Lol, it’s a lotta peeps! My darling kleptomaniac stole the spotlight so much he’s now an MC with Eleazar from a WIP with my brother @rusted-knight, but Rosario the possible sociopath is still a (very important) SC.

@obrian-of-the-surface-world

You’re welcome!

Thank you so much for your feedback! It’s really helpful for me, especially since sci-fi is an unfamiliar genre for the hopeless fantasy nut. 😊

Quin stepped back a pace as Sahar came babbling toward him.

“Um, hi…hey. I’m Quin. Quin Miller. What’s—what are your names?”

his quick eyes glanced over the group, and paused at Acyn. He seemed to catch his thought, and his own eyes traveled down to the missing limb. his cheeks reddened and he looked back up at the group with one final,…[Read more]

“What door should we choose?” Alessio, the Bearer of Fire, said. Malvat could see the rage seething in his thoughts and decided that now was not the best time to appear callous. (Cathy: IKR?!?!? There would have been a Dragon vs. FireBoy duel right then and there. XD)

Ignoring the girl who crept up behind Alessio and began murmuring to him, Mal…[Read more]

@noah-cochran,

Joelle, I loved reading this, it made my day.  I’m glad we agree, we need to complain to each other about it sometime.  xD

XD I’m glad it made you so happy! And yes, we need to rant sometime. *can already feel heat boiling in my stomach as I think about this subject*

Coffee… bleh. *disgusted face* No offense to any of you coffee-lovers, of course. 😉
