    @the-fledgling-artist THAT CHARACTER

    Your art ssrly tho. I can never ever get over it. <3 <3 <3

    Awww, the story sounds amazing.

    Oh yeah, and there’d be fuzzy mountain snowcat things, cloud dragons, and this cool mapstone thing

    Okie. I’m really sold now. O.o

    Hehe, now, did you really expect to get away with asking that question without me asking you back?

    Heh heh. I hadn’t thought about that. Thanks a lot. πŸ˜†

    I can try to give a good overview. I’ve been trying to improve on my summaries. πŸ˜› (Because all my stories sound especially stupid when someone asks about them…*facepalm*)

    So it’s called 51 and I kinda adore all the characters but it’s a huge experiment in style and storytelling, especially since it’s a sci-fi/dystopian/action thing, genres I’ve never really written in. (I hesitate to say sci-fi tho because that always makes me think spaceships, but no, no spaceships, just time-travel. πŸ˜› ) It all started with wondering how it would effect someone’s stability and emotional and mental state to be able to time-travel. So it starts out with this young man named Zeb who lives in the future, had a tough childhood in a poor side of town, and is on his way to a ivy league school he somehow got accepted to. However, the day before he leaves, his father is randomly shot at a concert and the murderer disappears without a trace. Suddenly Zeb gets all these notes that are warning him about the school and telling me to stay away or else. Nervously, he ignores the weird notes, shrugging them off as some kind of scam, but once he gets to the university, he gets kidnapped and realizes he for some reason became a pawn in this time-traveling war. So he meets a lot of people, goes a lot of places, and has to learn to deal with some stuff.

    There’s all this intrigue and interesting scenes and places and this whole time-travelling culture, but I don’t want to spoil it. πŸ˜‰

    Right now I have the book chopped up in big chunks, each told in first person perspective by a different character. And the times all loop and overlap and stuff.

    *clears throat*

    Something like that. (:
