  • “We don’t have a lot but we’ll try to share everything alike here.” The boy gave her what looked like a welcoming smile. A half-hearted one at that. She didn’t smile back, simply swallowing the rest of her bread and stared back at him stonily.

    She wasn’t sure why he was so willing to just let her eat. Wasn’t survival their top priority? She…[Read more]

  • It was strange, Mayra thought. For just a moment there, the boy was looking at her as if he recognised her somehow. As if he knew what she was feeling. Not that she was feeling anything. She had been trained to feel nothing but numbness from a very young age.

    Finally he turned away. As if she wasn’t worth the effort of looking at. “That’s it I’…[Read more]

    So, to answer your question more directly, yes, it can work. Romances are difficult to write but oh so rewarding when done well, and a worthwhile challenge to undertake. I have a lot of thoughts and they are connected somewhere between loosely and strongly, so bear with me if this gets a bit ramble-y XD Also forgive me if some of what I say…

    Now we introduce them 🙂

     

    Mayra reached the door at the end of the corridor. She listened to the voices coming from the other side, her hand raised over the door knob. Whatever was going to happen, whoever was in this room, she needed to be ready to prepare for the worst.

    She pushed the door open. It swung aside slowly,…[Read more]

    Whoa! Yay! You’re the first fellow Catholic I’ve meet here too! Who’s your favorite saint? Have you been confirmed yet? How did you find a spiritual director, if you don’t mind my asking? XD

    Really? Wow, I’m very privileged to be the first Catholic writer you interacted with here. I have always wanted to meet a fellow Catholi…[Read more]

  • Lorcan

    I had had enough. No way was I going to let this castle monster thing mess with me.

    “I refuse to stand here and do nothing,“ I barked, beginning to pace. I ignored everyone’s blank stares. “There has to be a way out. There just has to.”

    Liorah snorted. “It appears this one here does not understand what the word tr…[Read more]

  • @rose-colored-fancy

    Don’t apologize, I really liked it! It’s a lot more interesting than just getting along with everyone! I actually thought it was a pretty cool reaction, and I can see how it could come out of past trauma. And don’t worry, even though Liorah and Ferran took a bit of a dislike to him, I think he’s awesome!

    Ohh that’s really…[Read more]

  • Okay ya’ll, I definitely wrote that last one in a rush. I was in a half hour break from work. I sort of regret that Lorcan did that? I’m still figuring out what kind if a person he is, so I’ll just go with it for now. But I think when he chokes her, he only does it sightly, he doesn’t really harm her, its just to give her and everyone a scare a…[Read more]

    What in Anu’s name was this?

    I stared at the girl hard as she chortled away, not a care in the world. I was used to enemies and non-enemies quivering before me.

    “And who are you?” The girl looked me up and down

    I almost laughed. ‘Is this a joke human? I think you all know exactly who I am. Everyone and their blind and deaf mother k…[Read more]

  • Also will add that Lorcan has super strength, durability and can teleport through shadows. And he can heal really quickly. And he’s tall and built 🙂

     

    The galea blew against me as I raced after the slimeballs who had dared to cross me. I channelled my instinctual teleportation abilities, appearing and disappearing in the shadows, my feet p…[Read more]

  • @rose-colored-fancy

    Okay thats perfect!

    Lorcan: Male, in his early 20s. Mask covering the bottom half of his face. Dark eyes, almost black. Light tanned skin. Steam punk leather overcoat with hood. Black hair shaved along both sides. Courageous, arrogant and snarky.

  • @lonathecat

    I would agree, considering I can’t think of any Celtic myths I’ve read. (Aside from King Arthur. Is that Celtic?)

    Yes it is, though it originated in Britain during Medieval times I think. I wouldn’t know much about that particular legend.

    Oh, I hope it doesn’t get thrown out, too! And lol I like making guys classic gentleman. It’s ki…

  • @rose-colored-fancy

    Great, thank you so much for catching me up! I feel way more excited about this now, I can’t wait for Lorcan to meet everyone now! Do you have any hints on how I could drop him into a group?

    @obrian-of-the-surface-world

    What is the greatest gift (besides birth) your earthly father ever gave you?

    Hmm I would say his encouragement to pursue my love for writing. He’s like my first fan I suppose 🙂 and for teaching me unusual subjects from a really young age. He likes outer space and ancient history so he used to buy me picture books…[Read more]

    • Hi Neasa!
      Since you are from “The Emerald Isle”, a place I have so longed to visit, can I ask you some questions about Ireland in general?
      I have a character in my WIP that is from Ireland, and I wanted to have him be from an area that was a fishing port, but close the areas where there are fens and bogs that he might’ve explored as a boy. Can…[Read more]

    • Hello Brian! I’m more than happy to help you out there, though I will clarify that I’m not an expert in Irishness. I am also not too well versed in the areas around Ireland. Believe it or not, I have not experienced a lot of it in my life so far. My most frequent destination in terms of sightseeing was probably Dublin. But I will try to answer…[Read more]

    • Neasa, this is perfect!
      Thank you, thank you, thank you!
      Just what I was looking for.
      Since my “Surface World” characters are pulled out of Earth time, the period in which “Begglar” lived can be any”when”. (I just made that word up. 😉 )
      I have a particular fondness for rural communities, so I am of your mind on the government intrusions and over…[Read more]

    You are welcome, though I don’t feel like I actually answered your question, lol. Now that I know what direction you are going with it, I have a lot of thoughts about it, if you are interested.

    You definitely did, I’m feel like I know what I’m trying to do now 🙂 And yes I would really love to hear your thoughts about this, the floor is yours 😉

    @obrian-of-the-surface-world @this-is-not-an-alien

    I actually have a question seeing as you’re well informed. How do you respond to someone who says that ‘oh communism is a great idea, it’s just never been done right.’ I’m getting that a lot, and I just really want an answer that will shut people up to be honest lol

    Did I mention that my wife is…

    @fitz

    Heyy, oh gosh thanks so much for answering my question! I actually totally forgot I even asked you that LOL.

    Well, fundamentally, I guess the core question is whether or not you want to include a story arc like that; it is your story after all. The exact nature or unfolding of that arc can always be edited if it clashes with the rest of t…

    Hey thanks for tagging me 🙂 I’ll gladly join! I’m not too sure where to start, its a little confusing, but I’d like to add my character Lorcan 🙂

  • Hello 🙂 Hope you’re all well. I’ll just pop in here with my character.

     

    Mayra had been wandering around in this castle for far too long. She couldn’t tell whether thirty minutes, an hour or even four hours had passed. Every corner she rounded felt exactly the same as the last one, every door she passed had the same markings, every tapestry she…[Read more]
