Eh, who knows) the exposure argument, about how a lot of traditional Christian fiction (or, really, just fiction written by Christians) leans more towards fantasy than sci-fi.

Tasha! Welcome! <3 I have kind of forgotten about StoryEmbers for the last nine months, so I suppose we can re-enter together. xD

@emily-waldorf Hello! And precisely – they fit together perfectly, too. 😉 Favorite tea. . . chai, spice, peppermint, apple cinnamon. . . really depends on my mood and the weather. As far as favorite books go, that’s an impossible question to answer – far too many good books.

@kimlikesart

Aw, I didn’t know you were here, Kimberly! <3

I do indeed like stars, very much.

Hm. . . chai tea is certainly towards the top. What about you?
