Same here; I haven’t been on in months upon months, but here we are :>

Hello! Glad you’re here :D.

That’s fair. I want to go, but not to the one I ended up in, you know?

Sounds eventful. I hope it all goes well. Life seems to be entirely figuring things out as we go

Sorry about the burnout, that’s really frustrating.

I’m so glad to see everyone online again, it’s really made my day :D.

Thank you! I’ll miss the old characters too. I’m glad they were liked, and they helped me along my writing journey a lot.

I’ve mostly had school, same as usual. I’m in a program to get some college credits and it takes up a lot of…[Read more]

I’ve bene thinking about coming back to Story Embers for a while now, and was so excited to have been mentioned and involved in something again

I also have new characters now- I haven’t written the old ones in a while, and their story was never finished. I do love these ones a lot though, and I think this thread will be…[Read more]

Aww, we’ll miss you!

I understand and respect your decision, though. I think this became a larger undertaking than we anticipated it being.

Lots of love to you and your characters, and I hope your writing projects go well. I really enjoyed seeing your characters, your portrayal of them, and the amazing contributions they made…[Read more]

I’d love to get started on this story again. I think it might be beneficial to take a step back, look at it now and where we want to go with it, and begin working again.

I’ve been busy with school in particular, but I’ll do my best to contribute, and please keep me posted.

I’ve really missed all of you but didn’t find a good time to…[Read more]

Thanks! I’m glad I could help.

Hello!

I usually find inspiration from pictures I’ve taken or images on the internet, whether it’s of interesting landscapes or a captivating portrait. When I’m drawn to something, I ask myself questions about it, usually starting with “How did this come to be?”

To answer it, I describe what I’m seeing and what could have happened…[Read more]

Thanks! I haven’t seen that one yet. I’ll definitely look into it, though. It sounds interesting, and I’m glad you like the story.

The idea is actually from November of 2019, but I just got to working on it, as I am a master Procrastinator. It’s been in progress for the last two years or so.…[Read more]

I don’t really know how to categorize my current fantasy story. It’s rather timeless and somewhat typical in style, based on a blend of dragon and human worlds.

The dragons are the most powerful beings on the world, though…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

I finally finished a new part for my personal characters. I’m aware it’s been a while, and this part has been half-finished for quite some time, so I apologize. This takes place a day or so after the murder of Wes. (Italics also aren’t transferring via…[Read more]

Hi, thanks for the invitation.

I remember stalking this thread last September, figuring it was a bit late to join, and then later forgetting about it XD.

I don’t have anything to add right now and I may not post often, but I’ll participate if I find a chance.

Yes, I believe so. Either that or we can add in an OC or something. She isn’t officially part of the bad rebels (I forget their name, sorry) yet, but I do want her to be.

Whatever works for you, I guess.

O.K.A.Y.!

So so so so so so so sorry, everyone! I’ve had so much going that I very nearly forgot about this story!

And I also realized I forgot about several characters a while back. . . . . *cough cough*

I know a part for Sandrye is long overdue, so I’m just going to brain-dump right here and post it. Hopefully it works alright.

I’m…[Read more]

Mindysa: Alright. There’s twenty of us.

Zarin: Except that Wes and Callia are visiting today, along with Xin’s cousins.

Mindysa: Fine. What does that change?

Xineta: It changes who’s going to wake up tomorrow. >:)

Mindysa: WE ARE NOT HAVING A WAR OVER PIZZA…[Read more]

Sandrye:. . .

Wes:. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Wes:. . . . . . . . . . .  . . . .  . . . . .  . .

Zarin: Are they communicating?

Merlye: *sarcastically* yes, of course.

Zarin: I knew it! They can speak ‘dot’!

Hyri: 38.19 inches, 3.2 feet, 0.97 meters, 1.06 yards, 970 millimeters?

Xineta: . . .

Xineta: longer or shorter than the average hippo?

Hyri: *facepalm*

Wow, amazing job!

I am so, so, soooo sorry for falling off the face of the Earth!

I have had way too many stories going on, and I feel really bad for neglecting this one, but I haven’t put aside enough time for it.

I’ll keep trying, and hopefully my brain cooperates.

Shayne: Wait, a gerbil?
Xineta: . . .

Xineta: Yes,…[Read more]

Thank you! I planned to do another part today, but it’s getting late, so I don’t know if it will be finished. I’ll work on it, tomorrow though, since it’s my big writing day. I need to another part on Sandrye, since his mission since day 1 of this story has been to get this letter to Cade, and then the meeting got…[Read more]

I’m going to assume I didn’t annoy anyone and tag you all again. I have a new part. I’m not sure if it’s any good, but hopefully it adds a little to my overdue participation.

Callia traced the words engraved on the rough stone of the alleyway she was in. It made her a…[Read more]

OOOH!!!! Almsot doen with my next part on Callia, hang on.

Aliyr: It’s nice too meet you. I’m Aliyr Dayye. I’m an INTP.

Anja: I’m Anja. I’m an ENFP. >:)

Aliyr: *backs away slowly*

*When the main characters meet Aliyr and Anja*

Aliyr: Pleased to meet all of you. I’m Aliyr, and this is-

Anja: I’m his problem child. Want to know fifteen embarrassing facts about…[Read more]

You’re welcome!!! I’m sorry it took so long to get done. The only ones happy about that are my characters XD.

Thank you!! I hope to do a similar writing session tomorrow. With any luck, inspiration will come and I won’t sit for hours saying, “I should write that story” ever again.

Kyrei: Of course not, I hid it. These are my books.

Anja: Only yours?

Kyrei: Yes.

Anja: Then why is the bookshelf higher than you can reach?

Kyrei:

Anja:

Kyrei, who’s 5’10”: *reaches up* *Can’t touch the top shelf*

Anja, who’s 6’4″: *reaches out and touches shelf…[Read more]

I sincerely hope I’m not bothering anyone by tagging them. If I am, please say so.

I finally sat down and told myself “Stop procrastinating, or you’ll never feel like doing this ever again.” and decided I’m going to write a part here. It’s been ages since…[Read more]

Actually, my dad tried to get me into something called Kingdom Hearts, and that was probably a bad idea because by trying to figure out what’s happening I’m losing precious brain cells that I could use for writing XD. I’ve never seen Sherlock either, but it’s one of those things I’ve kind of always known about but never gotten around…[Read more]

Okay, so I’m sorry if it seemed like I fell off the face of the Earth in the past few weeks, I kind of did. I tried to enter this new fandom and found the plot endlessly tangled up amongst the characters, weird time skips, a backwards-then-forwards-then-backwards timeline, sad backstories, made-for-other-characters’-developmetn…[Read more]

Saydra crouched on the top of one of the many ruined buildings, watching the people pass by below her, talking…[Read more]

Amin: People say I am too kind for my own good and that maybe I’m trying too hard to be their friend.

Sandrye: Who says that?! We’ve been alone for weeks!

Amin: People sleep talk.

(continued)

Sandrye: Who says these people aren’t right?

Amin: People need to start believing in me…[Read more]

That would work for me!

Thank you both 🙂

That was so good! I love Tawny’s personality. She’s a lot like me (I think, from what I’ve read of her so far).

@dakota

Nice job with your part, too! This is honestly coming together really well.

Congratulations, everyone!

Coconut frosted brownies for everyone! (though, sadly, everyone will get the reference, because it was…[Read more]

That’s awesome! I was wondering about Tawny’s name. . . 🙂

That was really good! I love the name Citrine, did you come up with that yourself?

@emberynus-the-dragonslayer

Did you mention the tunnels were shaped like a tree? I think we discussed that a little. And I think Zenyth was going to kill someone. . . *tightening the lock on Wes’ door* Otherwise, I think you’re good. I’m kind of…[Read more]

I don’t think ‘finding’ is the right word here. I would use ‘recognizing’.

Your style is just consistency to your drawings, whether you’re free-handing or using a reference.

And it’s perfectly okay to have more than one style. I know you like both manga/anime and real-life drawings, and you definitely don’t have to pick one or…[Read more]

It’s great, though, and it fits very well with all your characters, so no problem!

SERIOUSLY, LOL.
