Sooooo, remember when I said ideally we would be finished writing the story Friday night, but it looks like that wasn’t going to happen? Well it happened! The story is complete! *confetti* *spaghetti* *lasagna* It needs a lot of editing, but it’s done!

Good news! @karthmin got busy and wrote a bunch last night! We are now at ~1800 words and at the climax. The reason for this update is that we are at a crossroads. Karthmin and I proposed two alternate endings at the end of the doc. (His is in bold, and mine is in the comments.) We have the potential to be done writing by tonight, which would be…[Read more]

I’m back! *bows as confetti rains from the sky* And… we are a wee bit behind schedule. Ideally, we would be finished writing tomorrow, but we currently only have either 164 words of basic set-up or 1200 words of less basic set-up, depending on if we want to cut out most of that set up as some people planned. The deadline is Sunday night.

@catwing I genuinely enjoyed reading that. Your imagination is one of a kind. XD

Well, it really seemed like that question was a bit of a hit, so I’ll keep hitting on something that a lot of us brought up in our answers to last week’s question:
What is the craziest dream you have ever had?

Posting Brandon’s discussion piece without any of my own comments because of the time. Apologies for getting this out so late. Good way to start a Tuesday morning, though! 😛

@devastate-lasting Awesome! That’s so great. 🙂
@karthmin Yeah… I know what it’s like to have a week like that. Maybe try again this week, huh? 😉
How did everyone else’s goals go? I think mine went… okay… I got most of them done, anyway. And I felt like I was pretty productive this week in general, so that satisfies me. 🙂

It is time to draw our swords/pens and begin battle in earnest! We are ready to start writing! Thank you 3000 to everyone who offered to write—I was worried that @karthmin would be writing it himself, but several people have volunteered to help. Thank you! That said, if you haven’t yet volunteered to write but want to, or find yourself with a s…[Read more]

We got a lot done on chat last night. We worked out the style, tone and problem of our story. To sum it all up: The story will be told like it is a video game, although the fact that it is a game is not directly mentioned.
Ready? Let’s begin.

Filewriter posted an update 7 years ago
Hey, guys! Sorry, I haven’t been very active in the guild AT ALL lately. I’ve decided to go on hiatus from Story Embers for a little while. I figured out that I’ve just committed to too many things and I’m having trouble with doing them all. So, while Story Embers is really important to me, it’s also one of the things that I’ll be giving up. For a…[Read more]

You’ll be missed my friend, but I understand. Enjoy your break! I shall await your return. *hands you feathers for your journey* Until we meet again. :3

Hey, mate it’s okay. Do what you have to do 🙂

Aw, well I’ll miss you! Thanks for being awesome. 🙂

Darn, I get back from a hiatus to find friends going on a hiatus. (Wait what’s the plural form of hiatus? *hmm*)
We’ll all miss you, but I understand that sometimes, breaks are necessary! See you soon! 🙂

Oi. Thanks for the reminder, @catwing!
So, first off, I think I’ll post the link to the google doc every week, so it’s really easy to access and fresh in people’s memories. (The google doc for asking questions, that is.)
But until I get more questions in there, I’ll keep asking you guys a question each week.
How vivid is your imagination?

Catwing replied to the topic Guild Improvement Ideas in the forum Announcements 7 years ago
I have an idea…
What if when schedule write-ins (or whatever we call it)?
Where we just schedule a time for a bunch of us to hop on and just write or roleplay or talk or something together. Some on Hangouts, some here.
It probably wouldn’t work for everyone every time. But I think if we don’t it on the same day and same time, every week it can…[Read more] -

If you haven’t turned in your word count yet, you should so now. Cause if you put things off you tend to just keep putting them off. *mutters*at least I do that…
So here’s just a friendly reminder for y’all to turn in your word counts! Whether they be 10, 100, 1000, 10,000, or 100,000 words! (If you have 100,000 I might be a little concerned…[Read more] -
