Kit explained that there was no peerage in Spire…wherever that was. He grinned. he did a lot of that.

“You see, Spire has always been controlled by five houses, and it’s a general rule of thumb that your house is going to have at least one ally and at least one enemy – I’m a Goldenjay, and Val is a Page, so technically we shouldn…[Read more]

@allertingthbs

Thank you! that was super helpful!

@inkhorn goodness that is a fantastic challenge!  I can’t wait!

@jared-williams

Enydd will be eternally grateful to Abirami for grabbing her bag. XD (I actually had no idea why she loved the bag and rock so much when I wrote it though I understand it better now XD)

Maybe Enydd can stumble on a dining room or even better the dining room has a stage in it!

Have a good time at your…[Read more]

At first I thought you meant a literal barbershop convention – like, a convention of barbers XD

That sounds really cool though!

@calidris

Emily summed it up. I say go for it.

So many great things happening. =)

However… I’m out of town at a barbershop convention ( =)  #smorgaschorus  !!!) so I won’t be able to post anything till later next week…. but I’m looking forward to it. hehe. both continuing the awkward crush/love/friend convo between ku and Ehud, as well as t…[Read more]

@calidris

That did help!

I’m okay with you dropping that character in the Castle. 🙂

@inkhorn Of course!

I do believe that homosexuality is a sin, but I also believe that it has been given an unfair “focus” by conservative Christian circles.  I’ve heard Christian circles talk about how evil homosexuality is, and then from those same circles, I’ll hear a strange level of silence surrounding issues such as sexual abuse in the…[Read more]

@calidris

First, I must say that I really appreciate that you’re asking for our input on this topic. 🙂

I have a few questions that I’d like to ask for clarity’s sake. I’d like to know what your views on this subject are. Do you view homosexuality as a sin or as something to be embraced and accepted? You said that you were writing this from a…[Read more]

Sweet!  I’m not quite sure how to start this, since…well, Valencia has quite a bit of common sense and knows better than to approach intimidating masked men on a whim XD

Or would she?

We’ll need to figure out a way to force them both together!  I think it’s going to be really funny seeing them interact

Btw, is Lorcan still wearing his mask?…

Avin’s thinking now, real hard.  I fidget in the silence.  I guess I almost feel embarrassed for asking him to begin with.  He’s taking this so seriously, and he doesn’t even know me!  It’s been a long, long time since I’ve received advice like this – I mean, actually useful advice.

“When she nettles you, you have to act smooth, and don’t prick b…[Read more]

Oh that’s ok!  I’m glad to hear that XD  If it helps, his love interest has always been a female character – that’s the side of him that you guys would see in the castle 🙂

I’m not sure if that was what you meant by parmesan, I had to look it up to make sure that wasn’t just something I don’t know about XD

I really like how Jade is opening up and taking control of the dance as well! This is pushing Ophelia really far out of her comfort zone XD

@calidris

Sorry it took so long for me to respond! Since you said you’ll handle the character in a Christian way, I don’t mind. After all, I’m dealing with a bunch of narcissists, traitors, and murderers, yet I don’t usually call them that. I love them and know what they’ll grow into: joyful, noble, humble. I’m sure it’s similar with you and…[Read more]

@emily-waldorf what a lovely story for Avin and Elsa!  No wonder she wanted to marry him XD Avin honestly sounds like such a sweet and patient guy.  And the idea of him taking care of her like that throughout the storm is so cute and also kind of painful, considering how she treated him :’)

@the-inkspiller

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

And I have a lot of research I need to do… Thank you for that as well.

The story was honestly just a concept that just floated into my brain and I was like “hmm I haven’t had a ton of motivation to write, but the story makes me feel really excited” And then I realized that I would probably have a lot of…[Read more]

@emily-waldorf @irishcelticredflowercrown that’s honestly very reassuring!  I’m just waiting for the rest to reply now XD

I’m probably not going to wait too much longer, since this person is actually has some strong ties to Valencia 🙂

@calidris

Avin was in prison when Elsa found him and asked him to help her find the prince, her brother. He first pointed out the difficulties, then broke out and accompanied her. She was NOT happy, and thought he was in prison for a crime. She hurt him a lot, mostly unintentionally, but once on purpose, because he wouldn’t tell her where they…[Read more]

@calidris

would you like to try an interaction between Lorcan and Valencia?

Sounds good to me!😍
