@j-a-penrose you’re fine

That happens to all of us sometimes

@j-a-penrose

Perhaps you can clean up the GoogleDoc a bit, so it’ll be more readable? It’s overflowing right now with comments and suggested edits. Thanks!!  😉

@esjohnson @steward-of-the-pen

Just a quick update from me: I just finished reading through/commenting on the draft. 🙂 Yay!

Anyway, thanks for doing such a good job on this! I see that we have another 800 words to go, so perhaps we can focus on some more character development and fixing some other things as well.

@j-a-penrose

We need you! :)…[Read more]

Hi all! I just wanted to take a second here to remind all of us Parimians to review/comment/edit/whatnot on our guild’s draft that the very talented ESJohnson and Darth Pen worked on. 🙂 I see a few of us have already commented which is wonderful; if you haven’t, please look it over so we can make it the BEST!! 😉 (In other words, we need you.…[Read more]

@j-a-penrose , should we keep it in 1st person or 3rd?

@obrian-of-the-surface-world Ah yes, good hooks definitely help pull the reader in! I personally love having a mysterious and multi-layered first sentence to each of my stories.

@j-a-penrose

THE WINGF—Oh wait. Did you just say not one that was mentioned before? Never mind… 😛

The first books that come to mind as having good pacing and s…[Read more]

@pursuewisdom Yup, I was thinking something along those lines, but whoever writes the first draft can do whatever they think works out well.

I think we need to get a first draft done soon though. @ariella-newheart and @esjohnson, are you still interested in doing it? Does one of you want to just go ahead and do it now so we have something to work…[Read more]

@j-a-penrose Has the winner been announced yet?

@j-a-penrose G’day. (Yeah I never say it either. It sounds weird when it comes out of my mouth. It’s like it’s forced or something. lol)

I’m in Vic.

@pendragon

Here are some more Aussies on the forums…..!

@jane-maree  @j-a-penrose

I know there is more….. 😀

@j-a-penrose Daeus says on his profile (I did some snooping) that it can be a dream, vision, or character living out a past dream through their subconscious.

Well, then… 😐😐😐😒

@steward-of-the-pen

I can’t believe how articulate you are while also addressing almost everyone who just posted! 🙂 Really admire that. And yes, totally agree with what you and @e-jo2 said about visions vs. dreams.

We’re so lucky that Daeus did not give us a vision sequence prompt 😀 (Nods our our Master Sith, @j-a-penrose )

If @ariella-newhear…[Read more]

Okay guys, we’re now five days into this war and we need to make some decisions to move forward! *hands out lembas*

There have been lots of enthusiastic ideas thrown around and different opinions about what this should entail. It seems like the majority of those who have voiced their opinion want to go with a dream rather than a vision, and @ariel…[Read more]

@e-jo3

I like how you explained Inception to us! I did watch that movie and loved it a lot! 🙂 Your proposed idea/s sound fascinating – and I think it has great potential in a longer book (or film for that matter ;). However, I’m not talented enough to convert it into a short story (although it’s very likely that someone else here is @j-a-penrose…[Read more]

@j-a-penrose

Do you usually let us do a roll call vote on the ideas? Or is it less formal?

If less formal, I’m with @steward-of-the-pen idea, although the prompt by @esjohnson was fascinating – perhaps we can connect the two in some way?

And I can volunteer to write it, although it will probably be better if the originator of the main idea…[Read more]

@steward-of-the-pen

I’m with you!! I love that idea. BTW, we’re all Siths here! Being a good guy is way to boring/cliched 😀

@j-a-penrose

Master Sith, I’m in your debt for explaining this process to me. 🙂

@ariella-newheart and @j-a-penrose thank you! Yes, the darkness would work well for the dream…

@steward-of-the-pen Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww, thanks! It is from my own writing, but I thought it would be a good prompt. 😉

@azeline-d SOMEONE SAY BIBLICAL FICTION?!!!!

REPORTING FOR DUTY

I’m leaning either towards the light/darkness prompt, @j-a-penrose,…[Read more]

@obrian-of-the-surface-world Nice snippet! I love the feeling of confusion that’s invoked by it. Good thoughts there, too!

However, I think it seems more like the half-consciousness and confusion of a person who is waking up after trauma or when the effects of medication are wearing off, rather than an actual dream that would take place during…[Read more]

@anne_the_noob14 I was just about to say homeschoolers would take over the world, and then you beat me to it. xD

Chorkneys are giant ride-able birds from the Wingfeather Saga. I definitely would recommend reading them. Definitely. Just ask @j-a-penrose how often I bring them up during the guild lessons. 😛

@obrian-of-the-surface-world

I’d say…[Read more]

@anne_the_noob14 No no! Thanks for pointing it out! I’m pretty awful at catching anything that’s less than blatantly, horribly wrong with my grammar, spelling, ect. I appreciate any help I can get! 🙂

@j-a-penrose Thanks for the tips! I’ll be doing more of that now that you have pointed it out, though I’ll do my best not to go overboard 😉
