Do I need to reintroduce myself when I’ve been absent from the forums for nearly SIX WHOLE MONTHS?! 😮😬 (Except for keeping up with the SE fiction @mariposa writes, of course… 😉) It’s been a CRAAAAZY half a year, but I think I’ll be popping in frequentlyish again, so…*flings pecan leaf confetti everywhere* *hands everyone a squirrel and offer…[Read more]

Are everyone’s goals going okay so far?  I’ve got about half of mine down so far, so that’s not too bad…

@ALL

My goodness! Those are some crazy dreams! XD Truly and certifiably insane, some of you. XD Just kidding – I’m a kettle calling pots black. But at least when it comes to dreams, I cannot even begin to match any of those.  My dreams are so insanely boring and I so rarely remember them…

…yeah. Not even going to bother. 😛

I’d react to…[Read more]

@the-inkspiller I know I have a vivid imagination, I was saying I didn’t think it was overactive imagination. But after thinking about it more… I do have an overactive imagination. *nods*

That dream is pretty weird. XD

@karthmin …I’m not sure which is the craziest… or how you even measure that? So I’m just going to sum up one. It part…[Read more]

Sooooo, remember when I said ideally we would be finished writing the story Friday night, but it looks like that wasn’t going to happen? Well it happened! The story is complete! *confetti* *spaghetti* *lasagna* It needs a lot of editing, but it’s done!

Hey guys!  How are your goals coming along? I’ve roughly got 2 out 5 of mine down so far so… I’m a bit behind. 😛

@princess-foo *chews lip* So, I do like both endings. And sad endings are always… *coughs* fun because of emotion. But I think, in this case, I do like @karthmin‘s ending better for the space we have. I feel like it’s more straightforward and we still have good, sad emotions there.

We could maybe combine some aspects though. For instance, if we…[Read more]

Good news! @karthmin got busy and wrote a bunch last night! We are now at ~1800 words and at the climax. The reason for this update is that we are at a crossroads. Karthmin and I proposed two alternate endings at the end of the doc. (His is in bold, and mine is in the comments.) We have the potential to be done writing by tonight, which would be…[Read more]

I’m back! *bows as confetti rains from the sky* And… we are a wee bit behind schedule. Ideally, we would be finished writing tomorrow, but we currently only have either 164 words of basic set-up or 1200 words of less basic set-up, depending on if we want to cut out most of that set up as some people planned. The deadline is Sunday night.

I’m…[Read more]

Guess what, everyone? It’s time for RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARC II: LEGEND OF THE FORBIDDEN BURIAL GROUNDS PART 3!!!

Enjoy the laughter! *evil grin*

@emgc @Allison-grace @karthmin thank you!!

@Catwing, I must second Karthmin. I have to disagree with you on not having a vivid imagination – you just focus on the broad strokes.

@karthmin, The strangest dream which I can recall was one which involved a good friend of mine that I roomed with in college, a real tubby guy, my height (short) but three times my weight, shaved head but a real…[Read more]

@karthmin, I appreciate your silver lining!

By the way, I quite liked Endbringer, though I think I still need another couple read-throughs to understand it properly. It’s funny – I immediately began thinking of the song “O’Death”, specifically the cover performed for Until Dawn – which I totally wasn’t listening to nonstop while writing this…[Read more]

@catwing I genuinely enjoyed reading that. Your imagination is one of a kind. XD

Well, it really seemed like that question was a bit of a hit, so I’ll keep hitting on something that a lot of us brought up in our answers to last week’s question:

What is the craziest dream you have ever had?

If you want to elaborate, talk about the level of…[Read more]
