Hope McClellan

@hope-mcclellan Yay! That sounds awesome! 😀 I’ll warn you of two things, though: one, this MIGHT be the first time I’ve done full-on detailed beta critiques, so there’s no telling how this will go. I’ll do my best, though! 😀 Two, since I’ve only got a week to finish a lot of school before Christmas break, it might be a little while before I can…[Read more]

@hope-mcclellan, Aw, thanks! 🙂

I would love to draw one of your characters! (I’m on a character drawing kick right now, so this is great, haha. 😀 )

<span style=”line-height: 1.5;”>Cillian sounds like a super interesting character! Do you mind if I try drawing him?</span>

@hope-mcclellan  Ooooh!  Centaurs!!  I’d love to try, if you’d like. 😉

@naiya-dyani  I’d love to try one of yours, too.

Can you provide descriptions?

@hope-mcclellan I know, I loved looking at all the art on the exchange page! Everyone’s art is so good; I just spent a while figuring out which people’s style best fit my boi before making my request 😛 .

AHHH! I was wondering if you MIGHT have learned some from Lifeprint, just because you automatically used the d/Deaf differences, but of course…[Read more]

@hope-mcclellan AHHH. . . if you ever need a beta reader. . . I’m always looking for distractions from my schoolwork, especially ones as fascinating as this one! 😀 I’d love to see more of Asmund. I’ll bet he and Firn have an interesting character dynamic XD. And. . . agh, they just all sound so interesting! Hydra’s already got me smiling, because…[Read more]

@hope-mcclellan Ooh, I like the original concept! Must hear more about the characters 😀 .

Okay. . . so my MC, Grace Hammond, is about 16 or so when her father dies. She and her mother move to Cresba (a northern mountainous region that is a dependency of her home country, Aimoni), where her Uncle Anthan lives, as a result. She makes friends with…[Read more]

@hope-mcclellan Heh heh. . . *rubs hands* (let’s see if I can manage to not sound like a blithering idiot 😛 )

The short version is, it’s a speculative fiction (I believe that means imaginary world but not fantasy???) story about a group of teenagers in a mountain village that end up facing danger surrounding one of their friends and have to…[Read more]

@hope-mcclellan 261 words!

@hope-mcclellan She’s about four years older than me. We have a funny history: we were basically best friends at birth, then became mortal enemies when we got older, and then one day just looked at each other and were like, ‘this is stupid’ and just became friends again after that XD. She’s the one I spew my writing stuff to and she says she hopes…[Read more]

@hope-mcclellan Ooh, I love this! I really enjoyed word warring with people during NaNo and was missing it after it ended. I’d like to word war with you at some point! See, my sister finished reading my WIP at 1:30 AM last night and now I kind of have to finish it. 😅

@nuetrobolt Thank you! Yes, I guess it was. It wasn’t as exciting as other times I’ve written, (Camp is more fun in my opinion), but but it felt like I really got a lot accomplished and THAT is exciting!

@anne_the_noob14 Aww, I hope you feel better! Thanks for all the word wars, it’s been fun! over 17k is absolutely NOTHING to sneeze at. Well…[Read more]

@hope-mcclellan Thank you! XD Yes! I finished about half an hour ago, thanks to a crazy amount of procrastination, lol, but I finished. 🙂

@hope-mcclellan I’ll be madly pressing keys for some time to come, so I may be able to join you at that time. Enjoy your dinner!

@hope-mcclellan I have the same issue. You can set your time zone, I think, but for some reason EST is never easy to find, so mine ends up wrong half the time. 😛 I’ve also ended up an hour behind what SE says.

@hope-mcclellan I’m here now! Are you around?

@tashah-claymore

Hey, yeah! Same almost here, too; though cream soda and Mt. Dew Kickstart both come in at a close tie. Have you tried strawberry Dr. Pepper?

Back on the original mention of dwarves and food (etc.), obviously one factor would be their environment. Which, in either a jungle or desert setting, would be very different to what people…[Read more]

@tashah-claymore @kari-karast @hope-mcclellan @evelyn

Alright! Let us charge through the surf! Even if it is the Pacific ocean…XD *freezing over here!*

@kari-karast @hope-mcclellan @tashah-claymore @evelyn @anyone-else

Dwarven mythology and the natural tendency to match it with other way-too-cliched works of now-boring fiction? How about that? Then after this (however brief or long) we could give a short/long presentation of any dwarven mythology any one of us has ever come up with. Or has had…[Read more]

@hope-mcclellan Hey, sorry this took me so long! I’m working on a few stories actually. Most Contemporary ones. A favorite story I’ve done in the past. . . I don’t really know. I like the ones I’m doing currently the best.

As far as what they’re about. . . it would take a while to explain! LOL

@hope-mcclellan  @bree-dawn  @tashah-claymore @olivia Hey new folks, this is a really fun thread if you’re interested. Kinda helped me get into better acquainted with Story Embers and the people on here as well as their Characters. 🙂 ❤️
