Hi @caledris,
I just wanted to let some of y’all (Texas slang for “you guys and gals”) that Kaytlin Philips has a pretty good monitored Forum type blog site at:
https://www.writers-vision.com/…if any of you want to try signing up there (yes, it’s free too).
They have writing games and contests, challenges, and writing topics too.

@this-is-not-an-alien Thanks!
yeah, I just recently got onto Story Embers, but I met two great people that help me out sooooo much! (Reflecting how one does so well with putting up with my a-lot-less-than-perfect punctuation and grammar; shout out to you, Lydia.) And even though I’m so new, I almost cried when I saw the announcement. So long,…[Read more]

Like so many people here, I’m pretty devastated about the recent announcement. That being said, I trust that the SE staff has good reasoning for this change, and I trust that God has His hand on the situation. I suppose ultimately this wonderful blessing might have only been meant to prepare us all to step into the callings that God has p…[Read more]

@abrille
Hi, Abrielle!
I am Inkhorn (as my username and tag both state xP), and it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance though it is through the Internet.
I’m not sure how many people are still active since SE has been pretty dead lately, but since summer has started, it might kick up again.
I’ll tag some of the others from the…[Read more]

LOL I’m gonna have to wait to tell until @this-is-not-an-alien gets to that episode. I already said my favorite character died! 😭😤
But for my top ten? Hughes. All of Team Mustang. The Elric brothers. Hohenheim. Ugh… The Armstrong siblings… Greed. Ling. Heheh. Help? I love almost all of them?!
How about this?…[Read more]

Hi! I’m excited to meet someone new (I’ve been talking to E G for a bit) Quite a username. Lol Nice to meet you too! I have 1 fantasy project in the works but it’s contemporary and allegorical too.

solanelle replied to the topic Hey! I finally made it!!! in the forum Introduce Yourself 1 year, 6 months ago
@sarafini Those stories sound really interesting! I’ve sometimes wondered about writing a contemporary story…but I think I love the historical aesthetic too much XD We’ll see!
I’ll tag some people I know! I’m not sure how many will respond (since the forum has been pretty quiet) but I’d love for you to get to know some people here &l…[Read more]

Hi Kayla! I do remember you, and I’m glad you’re back!
What’s your WIP about? Do you have any favorite books? What are some of your favorite crafts?
That’s really cool that you’re learning to knit! I never learned to knit, but it does seem fun (and practical.)I think that SE is…unfortunately rather inactive at the moment. I think that…[Read more]

Ethan Leonard replied to the topic Writing Sprint Group in the forum General Writing Discussions 1 year, 10 months ago
Agreed. I do prefer discord over regular text messaging, because (1) you can do large groups without using extra data, (2) you can have a dedicated server with separate rooms in it, (3) like you said, you can do mass voice/ video calls (and if you’re not comfortable with video, that’s ok, you can turn your cam…[Read more]

Hello everyone!
I am trying to get 4-6 people together to form a writing spring group. Basically, we get together at scheduled times to do writing sprints. It could be weekly, biweekly, monthly, whatever. I just think it would be good for me to do sprints, and it would be so much funner and more accountable with others!
I was hoping we could…[Read more]

The Inkspiller replied to the topic Morally Ambiguous Characters in the forum Fantasy Writers 1 year, 10 months ago
As someone who writes almost exclusively morally gray characters, I feel obligated to comment. Not to defend the mainstream use of morally gray characters, who are mostly just buttholes who happen to be shooting at socially designated bad guys, but in defense of complex, flawed characters.
The truth is that most people, even Christians, are or…[Read more]

Val:
I glance back as the wall behind me suddenly creaks, rolling forward with a grinding screech. “The room’s shrinking!” someone yells. I stumble, yanking Calix forward as the crowd surges around us. The walls in front roll back, parting as we flee the room. It’s so much darker in this new room. I shrink back as people bump into me, brus…[Read more]

Ragnarok replied to the topic Morally Ambiguous Characters in the forum Fantasy Writers 1 year, 11 months ago
Good, that’s what a gray character starts out as. Character growth should be the main focus of the story (there are a few exceptions, mainly with antiheroes).
While that is what I was trying to point out, I think the Protagonist of Death Note falls better into the fallen hero or antihero category (which would…[Read more]
