Neasa

@emily-waldorf  Thanks! She was so kind as to tell me her first name. It took me a while to figure out her last name, but it turned out perfect, satisfying picky me. 😂

Good to know that about Avin. Thankfully Jade is not the sort to poke at those things since she’s pretty much “the bottom of the barrel” in her world, excepting her dance skills…[Read more]

@irishcelticredflowercrown your coworkers must look at you pretty funny when you’re smacking your head on the floor, apparently at nobody. XD That man has a self complex that will not quit. That’s why he and Liorah get along so famously.

@irishcelticredflowercrown

Yes! and you’re absolutely welcome for that, Neasa. I have a haunch Avin and Lorcan might be more similar then they seem. Girlio, I laughed. Literally laughed aloud. DO YOU KNOW HOW SELDOM I DO THAT AT MEDIA?

Also…Lorcan must be an ingratiating person to keep around…not to mention dangerous. 😀

@e-n-leonard you catch on fast. That was a great post! Jade Nightengale is a beautiful name–also, she is going to be fabulous in here. 🙂

@irishcelticredflowercrown Isn’t it funny how any time Lorcan comes close the whole room suddenly focuses it’s attention on him?

@anyone

Don’t remember if I mentioned that Avin has a few trigger subjects:…[Read more]

Avin

He looked away, suddenly unaware that the girls were still talking to him.

There was a man leaning against the wall ten feet away. His posture seemed relaxed, but Avin knew the tension behind that relaxation. This man was ready for anything. Unconsciously, Avin straightened, detaching himself further from the girls with every muscle of his…[Read more]

@irishcelticredflowercrown Hi and welcome back! (though, nobody’s been regular here for a very long time, haha.) But I will be ecstatic to see more of Lorcan! 😀 I would say “I wonder how he and Avin will react to each other,” but they’ll probably just never say more than a few grunts so it will be boring.

@e-n-leonard

Here’s a character castle run-down:

This is where your characters get to interact with others’. You can flex your character by pushing them out of (or into!) their comfort zone, interacting with them outside of the context of your novel, or experimenting with aspects of them that you never see.

The castle itself is just a…[Read more]

@irishcelticredflowercrown

I’ll try not to repeat from our fellow contributors. Adrenaline is a massive component of pain sensation in severe injuries – people have taken dozens of rounds from handguns and not dropped till minutes later or until a fatal shot completely put them out of commission, and soldiers have sometimes fought on with missing…[Read more]

@irishcelticredflowercrown

Fatally or not fatally?

@irishcelticredflowercrown

Would you guys know anything about the immediate reaction of people after getting stab wounds or shot? Is pain felt straight away or how exactly does it work?

Fair warning, I’ve never gotten either stabbed or shot, but I do have a worrying tendency to enjoy dangerous sports, so I have an unfortunate amount of experience…[Read more]

@irishcelticredflowercrown

I certainly don’t know from experience, but I think it can be different depending on the situation. If adrenaline is running hard enough, some people can get wounded without knowing they are wounded – then there is also different pain tolerances where some people scream bloody-murder at a paper cut, while others can…[Read more]

@irishcelticredflowercrown

Thanks! And YAYYAYAY. Poor Daire. he couldn’t have chosen a hero more reluctant to be worshiped.

@inkhorn

Mmm-hmm. And a certain someone… 🙂

@jared-williams

Well I know, but I don’t understand why people want big-brother SCs instead of MCs. Whatever *shruggs* they also don’t like adjectives or tropes, and I…[Read more]

Woah folks! this got long. Sorry!

Isella

She turned toward the man; he still had his water flask.

“May I use that flask again?”

He seemed to hesitate, as if frozen by fear or some other emotion. “Give it to me,” she said gently.

He handed it to her slowly. “My name is Isella. What’s yours?”

“Daire. This is Lorcan.” He said the name as if it…[Read more]

@irishcelticredflowercrown I look forward to it! I feel pretty comfortable with Lorcan, not so much with Daire b/c I don’t know him as well–so thanks for the permission. Lol. Poor guy. He’s been too good at everything for too long. He could use a bit of humiliation now and then, I shouldn’t wonder. :’)

Isella

The first thing she noticed was how tired she was. Then she realized that she was very, very cold. She opened her eyes.

The man that had transformed into a beast was standing next to her, rubbing her cheeks with his hands. She caught herself just in time to spare a scream. The armored man, who had risked his life to fight the dragon, was…[Read more]

@irishcelticredflowercrown

I can never remember hair and eye color. I don’t make pictures of my characters or others’ (generally) in my head, especially not what their face looks like, so I’m really bad at this kind of thing, lol. I also tend to *ahem* skip the introductary posts, b/c I read/type so slow I want the time online for reading the…[Read more]

That was awesome… as long as I attacked after I warned them, then it would be within character, I think. He assumes they are under the command of an evil emperor, so if they didn’t take to his warning and approached with raised weapons, he’d attack.
I’m glad! This ought to be interesting!
