Yes! Another lover of those fantastic songs! What are your top three favorites?
Of Greatest Showman? Probably “Tightrope,” “From Now On,” and “The Greatest Show.”
I’ll belt all of those happily, audience or no. (Though I may have to transpose “From Now On” up a few notches so it can fit my range as an alto 😅)I appear to have met a like-minded…

Rúan tried to be patient while Niarok bandaged his calf, but the thousands of needle-like stinging coursing through his flesh and veins made it hard to keep a calm demeanour.
At one point, he could not hold back a small yelp.
Then the pain subsided near the end, and Rúan could relax a bit. He allowed himself to slump back against the cave wall a…[Read more]

You’re popular 🙂
Wow, that term has never been applied to me before. 😅
Also, your poem is so beautiful!! I absolutely love it! <3
Thank you so much! I’m glad you like it. 😊
Yes, absolutely! I can actually tolerate rap occasionally XD For a while I listened to a LOT of TobyMac and he often uses it for bridges and it just works somehow. I don…

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]

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…

(all right, I’m back)
“Please,” Rúan panted, trying hard not to cry out in pain as his mangled leg throbbed. “Water …”

(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.

Goodness, however you like. So far, I’ve had my characters in by a. Letting them stumble into a cave/tunnel b. They found a portal, named it Hector, and wandered in the void for a while. (I think they insulted the void too a couple times but that’s neither here nor there) and I dropped Aydin in by giving him a nightmare and jus…

@noah-cocheran
I’m a dystopian lover, especially when is sounds fresh and unique like yours. 🙂 My older sister is working on a book down a similar alley.
Oooo interesting!
No, no, you’re fine, I was just explaining my rather abrupt comment. 🙂
Ah, it’s okay. (:
I’ve read all b…

@caldiris
Hello Caldiris! It is so nice to be welcomed here like this. (:
Do you have any favorite characters from LotR (or any other of his works – lets not forget the Hobbit and the Silmarillion!)
I love Arwen, though she isn’t as prominent a figure in the books than in the movies. My second favourite would have to be Théoden, then Bilbo, th…[Read more]

Hello Erynne! I am glad to have been welcomed in the warmest fashion — I’ve not been welcomed like this on any other community. 🤗
Ah, though my experience has not yet waxed on 24 hours, I would fall under that category as well. 😁I’m honestly not that intelligent (in general but we don’t talk about that) on all of the different gen…

Your character sounds awesome! I hope he gets along with the others XD (Some conflict is fun though!)
Ah yes, let’s hope Rúan behaves himself. 😆
We have no less than three edgy assassins or ex-assassins, a supersoldier, a ninja, a sci-fi girl, a literal biblical angel, two brothers who are total opposites, a guy who rides a…

Laura, that sounds extremely interesting. Write that, and I’ll read it. 🙂
Well … that was about the most awesome thing I’ve heard today. Thank you.
There is a poetry section, but it is not used much, so just copy and paste it here. 🙂
Will do! I’ll attach it at the bottom of this post.
I’m glad to hear it. I only mentioned it at…

Yep! As much or as little detail as you want, but we at least need name, age, appearance, and something about their personality.
Sounds good!

Hello!
Hmmm … do I remember you? I don’t know … 😆
(just kidding, of course I remember you!)I’m in the middle of a trilogy that’s also my first writing project, so I’m a newbie! I’ve drafted the first two books and completely rewrote book 1 for NaNo.
