Yarrow
Age: 16
Appearance: Shoulder length, blonde hair, brown eyes, 5’ 10”
Yarrow may be an archer under Elvin, but Yarrow knows he could win against Elvin in a second. With the bow, anyway. But shall he win in something else?
We shall see…

Yarrow is the comedic relief character who makes me cry. He…[Read more]

No, not really. He’s been in here since the fall 🙂
Do you want his bio thingy?

Also, @abrielle hello, and welcome to the castle!

I can send you mine🙂

Hello and welcome back! I’m sorry to hear about your ankle! I hope it heals quickly.

@e-n-leonard

😂 he could… @lady-grace said she could drop in her Princess Julia to do it XD she’s such a thundercloud she’d probably want to. Julia can turn into a big black horse, so she can just send Saevus flying with a good kick.

Ah yes, ‘l…[Read more]

I eventually finished it cause I hate to leave a book unfinished. The ending was good, but I can’t say it’s a favorite.

I obviously have no idea how old you are, but for me, I read it in my late teens and wouldn’t have recommended it to myself much earlier.

Yeah, I would probably like it better in a few years🤔.

CASTLE COMMANDMENTS

1) Thou shalt not yeeteth the innocents.

2) Thou shalt change the Castle Commandments at thine own will.

Therefore, it follows…😁

3) Thou shalt yeeteth the wicked.

Hey, Saevus…XD

🤣🤣🤣

Yes, Saevus, watch out… XD

@calidris

@everyone I think it’s about time to start a new challenge!

Yes! Yarrow is quite r…[Read more]

Yarrow notched an arrow and ran as swift as the wind toward the fight. But before he could release his projectile, everything faded into purple mist.
The sense of floating only lasted for a sec…[Read more]

@e-n-leonard

I’ll try but she may threaten to shoot me XD why on earth did I give her exceptional archery skills?? *fp* My life is in danger.

Oohh, interesting! I honestly don’t know what older Yarrow is like but it’d be fun to find out. Mourns the death of the Vulture Vomit ideaXD

I love the painting of Kit!

@e-n-leonard

Ooh! Ava would be…

Actually! I have an answer!

Here you go, this is the DSM diagnostic criteria for Autism in adults. (Rooted around through way too many links from decidedly… iffy autism resources.)

It’s a bit information dense and clinical, not to say a little pathologizing, but a good overview! It also says how many of these traits you nee…

[Read more]

@lady-grace fun fact: ADHD and autism both run in families! So if you have an autistic family member, there’s a pretty good chance you could be as well…

Quite possible😂

Also, Rose and I have noticed that even if our family members aren’t actually autistic, they sometimes still have a few of our symptoms or quirks. So, I think in some…

Awesome!! I’ll subscribe as soon as I can!😀

Alright!
I’ll explain my character and what we have for her part then pester my sister until she does hers XD.

My character, Princess Edith, shows the royal side of the story, but in a wild way. A sword is her favorite thing to be holding but she’s more likely to accidentally stab herself than an enemy. However, as long as there’s laugh…[Read more]

I think here will work🙂.
Shall we introduce the characters? I think @e-n-leonard can explain the book better.

Huh. So that has a name. *remembers the times I’ve panicked and practiced in my brain before phone calls even to simple, mundane restaurants *

Wait.. that ain’t normal?
*reads through everything* hmm… *goes to looks up symptoms* Wait a minute… I’ve wondered if @e-n-leonard was “neurospark…[Read more]

I know!! It’s like I actually have to TYPE out the letters XD Or just copy paste the tag XD Writing takes up all my energy 🤣🤣

😂😂
Writing is such draining work. I don’t think we writers would survive without chocolate XD

Me too!! Are you ever thinking of going back? *bear hugs you back* *hands you a tissue box*

*Accepts tissues* I hop…[Read more]

*coughs* I… did not.. I may try again another time, but for now it’s killing me. I want to finish cause the ending sounds good and I hate to leave a book. However, I don’t really have any motivation to do so at this time😔

*moving YDubbs chat post* HI AGAIN!! *happy squeal* *superhugs you*

*squeals with you* *starts crying cause YDubbs was so awesome and I miss it already* oh well, goodbye’s not the end🤧 *squeals again and bear hugs you*

I got notifs for two different “moving cp” things. Which one did y…[Read more]

Sorry I haven’t responded! Your story sounds really cool – it’s got that “Narnia” feel, but it’s also really distinct!

It’s alright!
Thx! Yeah, I guess it is a bit like Narnia… *likes that* XD

NO YOU HAVE TO KEEP IT!!! That’s HILARIOUS!

XDXD *holds up hands in defeat* ok, ok, I’ll find another place to put it🤣

Yeah…ummm…so did I XD”Let another praise you and not your own lips” *gulp* NEXT TOPIC PLEASE!!

🤭 whoops. Yes, next topic XD.

(just going to be honest here and say: is there ever a good stopping point in that book? Apart from the last sentence?)

Hm, I think there was one… Oh yeah, it was the last sentence. Seriously though, I have to tell m…[Read more]

Yarrow gripped his bow, half hating it, half hoping it would give him the strength to face whatever else this castle might hold.

Suddenly a tall metal dude stepped forward. As the sound of the giant’s chanting filled the room, Yarrow shivered. Is this monster in league with Holda? Yarrow jumped up and knocked an arrow. Well, she should h…[Read more]

HOMESCHOOLERS ARE AMAZING!!!

*clears throat*

sorry. True though XD

😂 Very true *realizes I just helped compliment myself* erm… yes, all the homeschoolers I have met are awesome!
*awkward silence* moving on…

So true!! Then there’s what happens when you say to yourself “just one more chapter….” and look up at the clock several hours later…

[Read more]

My characters had me…erm, detained for awhile XD.

I won’t try to catch up with all the debates, but rather, go back to the most pressing and concerning of them all: should fire-breathing turtles be classified as dragons, turtles, or something else.

😂
Yes! It’s very concerning, and it has now grow to a bigger issue. They are getti…[Read more]

Yay! Bookworm/writer/Middle-Earth fanatics unite! 🙂 Oh yeah, once I pick up a book….well…. I just get lost in my own world…

If you’re a homeschooler then you can add that to the list of unites😂
Yes! Good bye world!! I’ll see you at 3am!! 😂

Tumnus is my baby! XD And my sister has a goat named Lucy….

Now I want goats just so I can name…[Read more]

I’m sorry, but the first half of A Tale of Two Cities tried to kill me😂. I recently got to a part where it’s a little less boring though, so I may survive it😂

@sydney

Hello again! I believe I need to go respond to some things on yours. I’ll have to do that when I get a moment.

What genre is your WIP? What is it about…

Hi guys! I’m Sydney Witbeck and I’m so happy to have found SE 😊 I’m an avid bookworm who loves Jesus, my amazing family (including my somewhat-spoiled goat, Tumnus), writing medieval fiction, and is crazy about anything Middle-Earth!!

Hi, Sydney! I’m crazy about books, too! I’ll devour a 50 chapter book in two days😂.

@e-n-leonard

Also, I didn’t know you’re an artist too!

She illustrates my book😀 and makes my MC look as stupid as he actually is lol

I was thinking it might be the only way to get some of our…more rational and level headed characters involved XD

Ah, ok. Yeah, I could totally see Yarrow settling down in a chair to watch the show😂

But as far as the reward goes…maybe the castle grants them a small wish? Like, it gives them something small they really really wan…

[Read more]

@lady-grace sooo…if they lose, does EVERYONE have to partake in the challenge, or just the people who attacked him?

Also we have to think of a suitable punishment XD

Hm, I think those who partake in the challenge. No reason to punish those who don’t. And if they didn’t help but the others win, they just don’t get a reward.…[Read more]

Like, if they beat him they get a reward, but if they lose…then they have to undergo another heart wrenching challenge!

That would be cruel… I like it😂

@this-is-not-an-alien

“Wait you can do that!?!?” Ehud gasped staring at the summoned Lord Castle. He grabbed a chair, ready to hurl it. “I call dibs!!!”
