As Christlover has said, guys, I reckon it’s time for us to get writing!
For all of you old-timers, (You’re over a year old, some of you. Yikes!) you should be pretty familiar with the routine, and it would be great if you keep things going smoothly through the rather chaotic drafting process that’s about to ensue.
The doc we’ll be writing in is…[Read more]

@ariella-newheart Eeeee, friendship poetry can be really cool. (Mostly cos the theme is amazing, and it just seemed to flow really nicely with words.)
@trufflehunter Yay! Glad you enjoy poetry also.

@evelyn Good, trust me. xD I scanned over the guild members and made biomes to match different people’s interests as I knew them. Aaaand, you may or may not have expressed interest in poetry…A fair few times.

Out of interest, have you read His Majesty’s Dragon? @coggleton

@coggleton Ooooh, that’s really cool.
It was just that I’d be curious to see how the characters play out, and to watch their story and arcs. The fact that you have a lot of characters in the one scene makes it feel a bit like it’s taken out just before the climax of a novel. (Or may that’s just because I always seem to think of short stories in…[Read more]

@evelyn Word limits drive me insane too. (And kinda? The main reason it was short is cos I have been writing them for over 3 hours and was beginning to get sick of writing in second person. XD)

Once, you knew the way to go, and the purpose for your mission. But now, now it had become shrouded in the murky world of mystery.
You open your backpack, checking to make sure everything was there. To venture into the Mystery Biome was not without its risks; Characters both minor and major often found themselves dead or kidnapped in this…[Read more]

I’m loving the ideas!
@coggleton seems to be saying something similar to what most are thinking, and it could get pretty meta. Are we interested in going with that?
@april-j-rhys Unfortunately, the prompt was technically, “Write a story in second person.” But if you watch out on Parimi Alca biomes, I may start putting up mini prompts and…[Read more]

Hello all!
If you haven’t seen our guild home page, you definitely should check it out. And I know that the running list of current members is completely wrong, but I plan to get Daeus onto that soon. (Or get his permission to let me fix it.)
However, what I want to draw your attention to, is that I’ve talked about ‘biomes.’ Back in our ‘[Read more]

“One more biome flits between each of the others—a whisper and a breath in the air. Novels and poems dart around within each biome, changing and developing. And yet, all of them treat those of this smaller biome with great respect: Short Stories.”
The writing of Short Stories is something beyond the times of Parimi Alca—it is something that ev…[Read more]
