Really??? That’s so cool! I remember you talking about the C Springs highschool ROTC equivalent, but I had no idea you were that close to my possible gap year program! I would be going the year of 2023-2024, but I will still look for them when I go!

Wow. If you go there you will literally be about 200 yards from where I used to live. I never went to any of their stuff before but had a good friend that did. Would you go this coming year? If so, just look for country green apartments and you’ll find my old haunts

Yep!!! I take it you’ve had experience?

@crazywriter

I know exactly what you mean by silvery! I also agree that Latin is very earthy. I think your idea could actually work quite well. I’m quite fond of languages that carry the signifier in the prefix and not the suffix. It does give it a more light feel. I would maybe think of some more prefixes, like perhaps es for the object of, and…[Read more]

Any chance that gap year program is called Worldview academy?

@emily-waldorf

Lol I’m not surprised at all! He’s such a noble character. He befriends Pip and saves Faramir from fiery death! What’s not to love???

Haldir is the lead elf who guides the Fellowship into Lothlorien. He’s very sweet and I love him. 🙂

Also I LOVE YOUR QUOTEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *sniffles in the corner* Quin is such an a…[Read more]

Niarok

Niarok saw the man’s eyes squint at his mention of the castle’s motivations.

Right.

He hadn’t known castles had brains either, not until now.

We can get to that later.

The man nodded stiffly in response to Niarok’s request to bandage his leg, and he unbent his knee, giving Niarok space to work.

He reached behind himself and grabbed…[Read more]

Rúan forced himself to breathe — forced control over his thoughts and his whole self.

In. Out. In. Out.

The man in front of him took a breath, directing Rúan’s attention to him, and said, “My name is Niarok. We’re all stuck in this place, and it seems to have a mind bent on torturing us.”

Mind? This place has a mind?

Puzzled, Rúan tried to…[Read more]

@denali-Christianson @joelle-stone

do either of you know where Canon City is? That’s where I used to live.

also does anyone here like music by a group called Clamavi De Profundis? It has a lot of songs influenced/from LOTR

Okay people. Halt everything.

WE MADE IT TO 100 PAGES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOOO HOOOOO

Oh. Nobody cares? Okay. Bye-bye now…

@mamaauthoress

Ooooooh a halberd??? Niarok’s gonna have some fuunnnn

No, I’m not a psychopath.

You know, I’m actually not confident in that statement now that I’ve said it… XD

Niarok

“If I had b…[Read more]

Also, what kind of wound is this? Puncture, like from teeth? Or is it a cut from a blade? etc.

It was from a blade — a halberd.

Because this rp is meant to develop characters, we tend to write more in the form of fragmented fiction (Just write as if you’re writing a novel, but cut off at a tension point, like when something big happened or your c…

@rose-colored-fancy

Poor Niarok, he’s working so hard to keep all the idiots alive   I love him so much.

😂😂😂😂😂 I know right??? I love him tooooooo I’m also loving his chemistry with Ayden. So amazing…

But he’s literally like dying inside and I feel so bad for him!!!

@mamaauthoress

*rubs hands together in anticipation*

Finally! I haven’t gotten to write this side of Niarok since first joining this castle… XD

Niarok caught the weak man as he fell. The man wheezed, clearly in pain and bordering on…[Read more]

@mamaauthoress

That’s an awesome start! Just one comment that might make it easier 🙂

(all right, I’m back)

“Please,” Rúan panted, trying hard not to cry out in pain as his mangled leg throbbed. “Water …”

@denali-christianson Yay! some people think I’m a bit strange for adding Beregond in my top 7 favorite characters. Also, refresh my memory: who’s Haldir? I know I’ll have an “aha” moment when you say it, but I can’t place him.

@emily-waldorf

HOW DID I FORGET BEREGOND???????????? I LOVE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And I’m like halfway through chapter three rn, although I’m reading a lot today so I’ll probably get way further through it by tonight!

(Ahhhh sorry guys! I had to go AFK for a bit — next time I’ll let you know)

Rúan sucked in a breath through his teeth, falling against someone unknown.

“Water …” he mumbled, trying to blink away the fuzz collecting around his vision.

And I find Denethor fascinating, but “like” is too strong of a word. I divide my time between pitying him and shouting  at him.
