Parimis! Attention!

We have some amazing new Parimis! I’m sure you’re all super excited, like me, plus, holidays have started for where I am, so I’m trying to convince myself that essays can wait, and I can actually do a heap more here to get it properly going again.

Anyways. Please make @april-j-rhys and @being-crazy-is-not-all-bad feel welcome…[Read more]

Welcome to SE @tdprince!  Do you have a favourite writing beverage?

Also, gosh. It’s been so long since I’ve read The Knights of Arrethrae! But I remember enjoying them. *nodnod*

And Historical ficiton is a favourite genre of mine…for reading. I’m horrible at writing it. xD

I hope you enjoy Story Embers!!

@steward-of-the-pen No, twas Martin this time.

MY DUDES, WE DID AWESOME!

Wait for it…

We were highly commended again! Guys, this is stellar! It was a super hard prompt, and I’m so proud of you. Plus, getting highly commended every time has to be a good sign. 😛

Here’s the doc with all of the entries!…[Read more]

Okay. Guys, the submission is in and judged, and we did great! I’m still waiting to hear when we’re meant to announce things, cos everything is a bit of a mess right now.

Also…word war?? That’s…not on the calendar. Or in the chat. But okay then. Um. Yes. Apparently, things there have changed too. I’ll make a post on it, but…[Read more]

Yay! I was going to write something today if nothing else had appeared, but this is looking fabulous!

Everyone else? Please jump in and edit at your…[Read more]

Nooo, I don’t have them up anywhere, unfortunately. D: There are a few snippets on my blog, but not much other than that. Yas. Blue is great.

Tolkien is definitely a favourite over here! I read a lot of Rothfuss and Sanderson, but also some lighter things like Andrew Peterson and Gillian Bronte Adams. (All are recommended with…[Read more]

First up, welcome! @april-j-rhys

Do you have any favourite fantasy authors?? (so much amazing fantasy out there that I have to ask.) Are you a music person?

I’m Jess, and found SE through the old site, Kingdom Pen. And I love to write because I feel God wants to speak through me, hence He’s gifted me with words, and hopefully they will change at…[Read more]

@taylorclogston Nonononono. Don’t apologise! 😛 It’s really good. As I said, we all have different views, and I can promise you that that will be very obvious through the rostering of guildmaster posts. XD (I’ve checked over the topics, and thankfully none of the huge contradiction ones are on the schedule yet.)

Also, not that these are…[Read more]

@coggleton Apparently I never answered this.

No, there was not a specific place, but you’ve just made a brilliant one. *thumbs up* Otherwise, it was ‘just tell me in the announcements,’ so this will do fine. 😀

*waves* Welcome to Story Embers @piperbee ! And yay! Always exciting to have another fantasy lover. Do you have a stand-out author?

Eyy! Super excited to meet you @briannajean ! (I too am a super-rural dweller.)

I hope you love Story Embers and that we’ll all be able to be an encouragement to you!

One of the things that’s coming to my mind regarding stakes, it that ultimately, the stakes are as high as they can get already. The quiet moment of handing over your life to God when you’ve grown up in a Christian home but have only just truly felt that overwhelming peace, as well as his majesty, is just as powerful as someone who surrenders to…[Read more]

@taylorclogston Oooookay, I was wondering who it would be for this post. 😛

I’m going to give the general disclaimer now that Daeus and I clash quite a bit on different topics, and this is one of them. xD Mostly, it’s because writing is a craft with very few “set” rules, formulas, and definitions. Lots of different things work for different…[Read more]

@evelyn Yes, I do suspect this may occur quite a bit… *shrugs*
