When I’m coming up with exclamations, I usually draw from the story world and the character’s life. My favorite right now is probably “What the stupid flopping fish?”  (My character was a fisher)

Sconeses, Precious? Seriously though, I’d be sooo disappointed if someone exclaimed SCONES! and there weren’t any 🙁

A ton of editing, lol. It’s really great to hear from my story-embers peeps again! How has character castle 2.0 been going?

Oooofff s a m e so many revisions 😭😭😭

Ah yes, CC2.0. There has been a changing of the guard of sorts, I am the only member left of our old group back when we wrote iirc😢 (Excluding Cathy/ @this-is-not-an-alien  wh…[Read more]

Sour expression – She made a face that could pickle a cucumber.

*Happy gasp* JASMINE!!!! I MISSED YOU!!!

It’s been so long since I saw you around! How has writing been, how are your characters, what have you been up to!?

Okay, to slow down… XD Lemme see, for situations like these I never quite know what to do but I am very partial to exaggeratedly dramatic insults like “I hope a jackal pees on…[Read more]

I’VE MISSED YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!!!

So, we should definitely try to revive it. Akaya has missed Farley!!!!

I’m not sure if we could resurrect the time travel story, but who knows? *shrugs* Maybe now that you’re back we could get it going again?

I haven’t read the fifth book, but when I do, brace yourself. I shall be coming with fire!!! 🙂

Yay!!! I’ll put a link to it at the end of my post! you do mean reading what we’ve written, r…[Read more]

I loved that fight scene! It was so in character for Lorcan, and I liked how he still rescued Liorah even though he really doesn’t like her XD

No clue. XD But they totally should!!

Battle scenes are fun! Who should they battle? Maybe Baxter awakens some kind of critter? The mama hhborgen comes back? Those shape-shifters? OOH WHAT IF WE HAD A CHARACTER WHO WAS ACTUALLY A SHAPE-SHIFTER WORKING FOR EVIL-DUDE BUT OUR POOR CHARACTERS DIDN’T KNOW IT MWUAHAHAHAHAHAHAH?!?!

Welcome @avery_diagham! Glad to have you join the story! I can’t wait to see what you come up with for your character, let me know if you have any questions.🙂

Yes, I think that was the plan.

Uhhhhh ok?

Uhhhhhhh Inkeeper Quill? Interesting name, but I’m confused. . .

First off, this thing takes place modern-day. Humans exist kind of off to the side, and the only interactions any characters have had with them (so far) involves hiding from them until they’ve gone by.

Its ok, I understand. We will miss you though!

Aww, I’ll miss you guys too!!

do you have any requests for what we do with your character?

Hrm. Not especially. Keep him mad at Rye and looking for Cedar and Ivy, I guess. 🙂

@joelle-stone

So, what now?

P.S. Éowyn, the namesake of Nora’s changerat, just passed away. She will be missed.

Laser tag was the plan! Wow, I missed A lot while I was gone, LOL. please forgive me if I get something wrong with the characters, I caught up on the story but I’m very bad at remembering things.

It absolutely is! I was definitely going to do that XD

Wow, thank you! I needed a lot of practice before I learned how to draw capes. I think I figured it out by seeing a picture of the mandalorian. XD

I second what Joelle said about her sounding awesome 😉

Aha, she sounds awesome!!

@mischievous-thwapling,

1. How could I hate you for that especially when I tend to do the same thing?
2. Ooh, that sounds cool! Other reasons could be it’s a family heirloom, an Elvish friend gave it to him, he found it, etc.
