Ahhhhh! Why won’t it post the links!!!

@denali-christianson

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]

Alessio catches Malvat conversing with Lupa who…in one of the cages? Uh sure, whatever, doesn’t even make the top thousand weird and traumatic events of the day. It’s productive… probably
“Can you get the door open without letting it out?” He asked moving toward the cage a little, but he glanced back at Mayra, wondering if it was ok to take her ha…[Read more]

@denali-christianson

How long have you been writing Denali?

then I would mention that the supernatural isn’t inherently bad

This is your reoccurring argument throughout your comment, so let me drill down on it. As you said, miracles, exist, the spiritual realm is all around us (as I’ve already said, the spiritual realm is realer than the n…[Read more]

REBEKAHHHH!!!!!!!!!

I mean, hey, if it’s not, you and I could revive it, right? *glares pointedly at Rebekah* As long as you remember to post? 😛

Well, if we figure this out… then Ima go dig up my character sheet for Akaya!

Hmmm. I think I’m going to have a brother/sister team named Niarok and Yila.

Niarok: 6’2, 18, shoulder-length black hair, piercing blue eyes, severe mannerisms, but soft inside. He tends to be quiet until he’s with his sister. He also has a snarky streak and enjoys a good roast. He’s scary good with a sword and can shoot a bow at need. Yila…[Read more]

Hi @denali-christianson! I don’t see why not! It might bump us up to 11 characters, but some of those don’t seem to be very active, anyway, and Idk how long one of mine will stay. Here are the characters currently in the castle:

(if I get anybody’s wrong, or you’d like to elaborate, please do so–I’m also new here)

Locran (Neasa’s character) An…[Read more]

@kylie-wingfeather

KYLIIEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*joins Kylie in jumping around*

IKR I’ve literally missed all of you soooo much!!!! I finally decided to hunt you down and stop being miserable!

Would it be possible to, ya know, resurrect the time travel story? Or is that kinda not possible?… 😥

And yes! Lmk…[Read more]

@taylorclogston

That is a good point. I don’t personally think of it like that because I’ve been raised to think of magic as sorcery. I can definitely see how the fireball video game thing could be true.

However, I will point out that from what I’ve seen, the vast majority of the fantasy audience definitely has an impression of magic something…[Read more]

@denali-christianson
AHHHH!!! DENALI!!!

*jumps around like crazy*

I CAN’T BELIEVE IT!!!

*ahem*

Sorry about that 😛, but it’s been around a year since I “saw” you last. And yeah! I think you could join, if the others say yes. Some other featherheads and I are also doing a Wingfeather 5th book collaborative story/RP. The time travel story though,…[Read more]

@denali-christianson

“When people hear the word magic, they either think of fluffy unicorns and fairy dust, or sorcery.”

That’ll depend strongly on your audience. People raised to think the word “magic” means “witchcraft” will think in the way you described. Most other people will think of video games where you throw a fireball at a dude,…[Read more]

@allertingthbs

Just wanted to say that I think you made some really really really good points which hadn’t even occurred to me!

My only concern with what you said (and I know this wasn’t directed at me, so if you want to ignore my comment, that’s fine!) is that people oftentimes don’t care much about context. I’ve noticed this especially in…[Read more]

DENALIIIIIII!!!!!!!!! You’re BACK!!! YAHOO!!!

I have. . . honestly no idea if this is still active or not. I mean I suppose it would be if at least someone (*glares at self*) would actually remember to post for once.

@jasmine

@this-is-not-an-alien (if you’re still here)

@. . . Uhh whoever else is in this thing again

So I am a little late to the discussion here, but I can still throw in my thoughts on this. You are saying that any usage of the word magic is essentially us, as the authors, endorsing and invoking the practical art of magic as you describe it. It does not matter the context of the story, the world itself, and the readers’ understandings.…[Read more]

YESSSS PLEASE DIRECT ME TO THE PLACE OF MEETING!!!!!!!!

*does major happy dance*

Also just wanted to say that I love your signature!

@denali-christianson

DENALI!!!

Yes, we are still going!! We’re on Google docs though. . . does that work for you?

@noah-cochran

Hey! I’m glad to be here! Thanks for that very helpful summary! I have something to work with now! I write medieval high fantasy, and my current WIP is basically about a multi-dimensional world invaded by darkness which my three main characters have to battle. (If you want to know more, I put a detailed summary on my profile!) I’ve…[Read more]

@r-m-archer

Well, thanks for all your thoughts. 🙂 I hope that your writing will never shine a bad light on Christianity and that you will really think through the act of creating your own religions and supernatural beings, gods, and abilities (like Sanderson’s and Riordan’s) before you use them.

@denali-christianson

Hey Denali, glad to have…[Read more]

HEY WINGFEATHER FORUM FRIENDS!!!!!!!

Idk if y’all remember me, but it’s Denali Christianson from epochs ago…

Can I join whatever is happening here?

Hey, can I join? And can someone kind of explain a bit more of what’s happening? From what I’ve read, I have a very rudimentary idea, but nothing beyond that. Thanks!
