I like your characters. I thought I’d written up a response last night about it, but now I see it’s gone (sad face.) And I don’t remember what I wrote…
Oh well… here’s second impressions. =)
Oof, I feel that. Oh well, it happens sometimes. 😅
My first thought was there something about Coryn that makes her an oddity? I had a feeli…

I wouldn’t have guessed that precisely, but I sensed something, so I think you’re handling it pretty well.
Yeah, I figured you wouldn’t. What I meant was: I wasn’t sure if it was glaringly obvious that I was practicing channelling that. 😂
*blinks* I need to figure out how to word things better. 😅
I feel ya. I’m currently in a perio…

You did a great job showing Coryn’s mental and heart twisting pain. I could feel it, and it definitely felt very unique in that way.
Thanks! I’m glad I did. 😅
(Author’s Note: she’s autistic, so I’ve been practicing channelling that into her perspective — not sure if that was )Osløn is very intriguing. He is driven by need for di…

Oooo this is a cool idea! I’ll pick one from a roleplay I’m in, and one from my WIP. (:
Coryn:
Breathe … in, out … in, out …
It’ll be okay …
“N-no … it won’t …” I mumbled, vaguely aware of how hard I was gripping my head.
This isn’t like the labs at home … you’re just in bed, not in any life-threatening danger.
Oh, but how…[Read more]

@emily-waldorf actually, Osløn forcibly removed the snake, ! just didn’t make it clear; I apologise. 😅
But then the knife-like pain in my ankle abated.
My mind was still cloudy with the eerie numbness and ache, but it was slightly better.
It was here ^^

OSLØN:
Someone approached. Someone unknown.
This young man had brown hair — a rather common colour, in my opinion — and wore a mysterious expression on his face.
He reached for Rúan’s hand, pulling him up into a standing position. My half-brother’s eyes fluttered.
“Who are you?” I demanded of the new person.
Then Rúan winced, his kn…[Read more]

Isn’t it fun?! One of the joys of being an author…*smiles contentedly*
Ah yess … the joys of being an overlor– er, uh … author 😁
Wow, Ruan hasn’t been in the castle for a minute, and he’s already been bitten by a venomous snake. This is clearly not his day. Poor guy. xD
Yeahhh, he’s not exactly the luckiest guy. I mean, look who he…[Read more]

Okay, so I’m going to try something I’ve never tried before:
Literally throwing my characters into the room. 😁
I always try to do something subtle and seamless when introducing my characters, but NO MORE *swipes arm around*
*knocks over the table lamp*
*is unaware of the fire that started*
😐
As evidenced, I am strange.

Oh gosh … I’m so sorry — I forgot about this. 😅
What’s happening right now? I can’t really read it all (stupid overwhelming disorder); could I have a summary, please? Thanks!

Here’s Rúan:
Couldn’t find a drawing I did of him. 😒

Thank you so much!!
You already know Rúan, but I’ll give a bio for anyone else who doesn’t. (:

Is Oslon Ruan’s illegitimate half brother?
Well … yes, pretty much. I don’t really like revealing this anywhere outside of my WIP, since it’s going to be a groundbreaking plot twist in my WIP. But I thought it would be a good dynamic to explain why Rúan hates him 100x more than he did before he found out. 😅
Does each clan have po…

Our eyes were locked dead on each other, staring through the chaos that ensued around us. It was an unblinking bridge of pure, numb hate.
Histories of bloodshed and violence could not sum up against the antipathy channelled in this single reciprocated glare.
The background noise lowered to a hum, drowned in the ocean of hatred that crashed…[Read more]

Good point, but let’s say a character gave another character a dry look, how would you word that?
… hmm.
You have a point.
Maybe something like this? “The stare she gave him was as dry as a desert.”
I’m not sure I can be too helpful in this area, I apologize. 😅
I agree. I suppose it’s just I have a hard time describing people’s faces in wo…

Thanks for tagging me, Noah!
Replacements for look
I usually use “Fernya shot her son a quick glare,” instead of something like “Fernya gave her son an icy look.” Maybe if you rearrange the wording a little bit, you won’t have to keep using “look” in that context?
Thoughts on ‘said’ replacements:
Ahh, my favourite thing to discuss. 😁 I have…[Read more]
