@lady-frosttongue I love it! Wolves are such cool animals. Oooooh, and the black ones are just so mysterious.
@devastate-lasting *laughs* I love this argument.
@catwing *blinks* WOW. You, like, created an entire story world. It’s great XD

**blinks**
**sees 2019 on the calendar**
Wow. 2018 disappeared quickly, and left a lot of lessons in its wake. All of which I am very grateful for, and the holidays are always a bit chaotic for us since “no” doesn’t seem to be a word we know how to use in this house…

Anyway….Because I started December…[Read more]

Hello Ereki! Welcome back after our refreshing holiday break! *looks around at a sea of faces that have clearly been fed by many cookies; checks pocket mirror, grimaces*
Humbug. About time for some goals, I say. XD
Just kidding! I trust you all had a wonderful Christmas celebration (of whatever kind that your family does) and that you’ve become…[Read more]

*solemnly enters the guild hall*
Erekdale! A new year is upon us! I don’t know why I entered solemnly, because there’s not really any reason to. Unless we are supposed to be sad that a year is over and done. But hey, there’s always another year to take it’s place!
Which means a couple hundred days that we get to spend together in this little…[Read more]

Martin Detwiler started the topic Christmas Break! in the forum Events & Guild Maintenance 7 years, 3 months ago
We’re going to take this week off! No discussion, no goals, no nothing! It’s the week of Christmas, most of us are with family, or travelling, or busy eating ungodly amounts of cookies… so I don’t want to tax your brains with too much writerliness.
But we’re always writers, so even though we’re not having any guild activities, we can always be…[Read more]

The results are in!
The judge has judged, the pronouncements pronounced, and the placements placed.
We…
…got another honorable mention! And once again, one of the reasons why we didn’t outright win is because we did a bit of a twist on the dream sequence genre (see the judge’s feedback in the doc attached below). Go figure. Another t…[Read more]

Weekly wondering:
Not so much a question this time, but a tiny little writing prompt that I just remembered from my school days. I’ll search up what I wrote When I Was Very Young and share it when I get a chance this week. But for now, I’m going to sit back and listen to your best arguments:

Soooooo, here we are with the official call to state your goals, dreams, hopes, desires, and pledge me the life of your first-born….. HOLD ON. Nope. Just weekly goals (this time). *evil laugh*
Sorry that I’m weird. Y’all didn’t know what you were in for when I stepped into the Guildmaster chair. XD Yes, stepped into (not sat upon). 😀

Last chance to edit our submission for the Prompt War!
We have until midnight tonight, at which time I will port the story (in whatever state it is in) to a different document so that we can’t keep tweaking it.
I think it’s quite safe to say that @hope-ann did a fantastic job with the story. However, there are a few places where it feels a tiny…[Read more]

Hey Erekdale, sorry for my absence. I’ve been busy doing other people’s stuff (at least, that’s my excuse) and I haven’t been putting out a lot of proper fiction to read. If anything, I’m having a bit of crisis in not being able to write anything good in spite of being able to come up with interesting settings and premises.
This is a little…[Read more]

Hey, Ereki!
I finished my assignment of writing a dream sequence and have pasted it into the docu above. Now we get to work on it together and make it a masterpiece to carry us to victory. Not quite sure how it goes from here except that we all pitch in. But yeah, go read it. Make comments. Do the thing. XD And above all, remember to laugh and…[Read more]

Oh, dear me! I love everyone’s take on that last question. XD
Here’s this week’s query:
If you could become any animal for a week, what would it be (and why)?
Me? I would be a cheetah. They are really awesome. Basically, I could sleep most of the time, and if I wasn’t sleeping, I could run REALLY REALLY fast, and that would just be…[Read more]

Thank you, thank you, thank you, to everyone who has added and submitted to the document. I had a regrettably full, busy, and tiring week/weekend that left no time for any online work. I do apologize greatly for being so remiss as a Guildmaster. It really won’t do for me to go on like this.
