@j-a-penrose Ugh. I’m so sorry that it’s so chaotic for you. 😛

@everyone I don’t care if we win or not. Let’s work on decreasing that level of freaking out by guild master! 😀 😀 😀

*hands out tea and cookies*

(On the other note, yikes. That prompt? *gulps* This is gonna be hard.)

@j-a-penrose Yikes, I’m so sorry that it’s been so crazy. 😛 Thanks for sticking it out! 🙂

I subscribed.

Hey Parimis!

The entry is completed and @j-a-penrose has asked me to let you know that she will be submitting it shortly (she’s having technical difficulties getting on the forum). Stellar work, everyone! Thank you all for the effort you put into making this entry great. It was fun working with y’all, as always!

And now we await the results……[Read more]

I think we’ve pretty much marked up the whole document at this point, haha! So as soon as our guildmaster comes through and resolves the edits, we’ll be in good shape.

Good job, everyone!

I haven’t been able to check this out yet due to many things, not the least of which is having the flu, but I’m here now and I’ll do my best to help out (though this seems to have died). We need to have this finished by tomorrow afternoon-evening, right?

@valtmy @j-a-penrose @dekreel @ashira I heard back from Reagan today and he said the site going down isn’t intentional. He’s not sure why it’s gone down but hasn’t had time to look into it yet. So hopefully it will be back up shortly!

@storyjoy thanks, we could use your help critiquing. 🙂  @fawxofthecomics   I agree…we need to do something….why don’t at least three of us write up a possible draft, post them here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VArurM-tBrxGsMqtiUIa9gcCQohhv9Df7GlBVSwYwY4/edit?usp=sharing

and then maybe we can mix things up to come up with some de…[Read more]

All right, the first draft is in the doc! Edit away, Parimis!

@j-a-penrose @cassie-hartfinh @julia @anne_the_noob14 @ariella-newheart @pursuewisdom @evelyn @trufflehunter @silverclaw-bonnetfolly

@j-a-penrose The glitch is fixed!!! Yay!!! I suppose that means we won’t be needing the backup topic I tried to create…

Thanks, @j-a-penrose

🙂 I love this lesson.

I think it’s important also to highlight the MC’s weakness in relation to his/her character arc/development.

And I think even if we’re dealing with, say, an antihero MC, her flaws must be realistic but shown to be flaws and not traits to model from.

@steward-of-the-pen

LOVE your ideas!! 🙂

@j-a-penrose

@everyone

😛 I can’t come up with anything worth saying right now…

@cassie-hartfinh @ariella-newheart @anne_the_noob14

Aw, glad you like it. xD I’m happy to whip up first draft if everyone is good with this idea. Do you guys want to throw out some suggestions? The part of the story I don’t have worked out in my mind is the middle where the horse is trying to prevent the prince from rescuing the princess. Any…[Read more]

@steward-of-the-pen @j-a-penrose @trufflehunter @anne_the_noob14 @evelyn @silverclaw-bonnetfolly @ariella-newheart

So…are we in agreement for the story then? When do we start writing? Who writes the first draft? I vote Steward. She’s got a great writing voice. Plus her idea is the bomb.

@anne_the_noob14 @steward-of-the-pen @cassie-hartfinh Great ideas! I already love Charlie the horse. Sarcastic characters are some of my favorites, both to read and write. (Also, I think it’s cool that you take horse riding lessons, Darth Pen!)

I had to look up a few old KP articles for advice about cliched endings. For instance, this one says…[Read more]

@j-a-penrose I have no clue where the best place to ask this question is, so I’m gonna ask it here… How do I convert something from Word Doc to a more editable format like the Google Docs (I think it is??) that we use for our guild wars and such?

@steward-of-the-pen *gapes*

Girl, you got some brainstorming talent!!! I absolutely LOVE this story idea!! We HAVE to do it!! *tosses own ideas out the window of tower where Steward’s princess is trapped–or so it seems* *wait does that make me the princess* Charlie the horse is also the best name for a character such as you have just described!!…[Read more]

@anne_the_noob14 @j-a-penrose Yes! I am ALL for the idea of it being from the perspective of the prince’s sarcastic horse. Oooh, how about something  like this?

1. Prince and horse are best friends.
2. Prince decides to rescue princess.
3. Prince falls in love with princess and ignores horse. Horse is jealous. (And he’s also bemoaning the fact th…
