@jessi-rae Hiya! It was so neat to meet you in person and get to talk to you at Realm Makers! Sorry if I was a little non-talkative, but I’m very shy (I score 88% introverted 😅) and can be very awkward when I meet people for the first time (and sometimes even the second or third time XD).
@morreafirebird Hey! It was nice meeting you at Realm Makers! It’s so cool that you won a free trip to RM next year! I’m so happy for you! 😃 I hope it’ll lead you to something amazing for your author career.













It was awesome meeting you! 😀 I wish we’d gotten a chance to talk a bit more, too. (I sort of felt like I was spinning from the sheer number of people around when we met XD).
And thank you! I’m very excited to see what God has in store for me 😀
@morreafirebird Yes, I felt the same way. I can hardly believe so many people were there! 😮 If I go next year, maybe we’ll have a chance to talk to each other more. 🙂 Did you have a favorite speaker at RM?
@mariposa I think it gets bigger every year XD
Gosh, it’s so hard to choose! I loved Mary Weber, Nadine Brandes, and Tosca Lee the most. It’s impossible to decide between those three!
@morreafirebird In that case, I may be too frightened to go next year. XD But seeing the SE staff is worth tackling social anxiety. 😜 Did you buy a lot of books while you were there? 🙂
@mariposa I only bought three, which is shocking XD But I did bring half a dozen to get signed and then won some in the raffle. Did you get any?
@morreafirebird No, I’m a rare species who doesn’t read much fantasy. ;P I only came so I could meet the SE staff.
I see 😉 It must have been amazing to finally meet them in person!
@mariposa Hey! Sorry for the late response; I’ve been away from my computer for a while. I really enjoyed getting to meet you in person and talk with you as well! And I totally understand your being a little shy – I’m usually the same way. 😛 When I meet new people – especially people I admire or look up to in some way – I either talk too much or hardly at all. XD
@jessi-rae Really? I thought you did great conversing with people. 👍🏻🙂 I think that’s how it is with a lot of us—we feel we’re doing terrible when really we are doing just fine. Like I felt so awkward and nervous but everyone else thought I did fine. 😅 What was your favorite part of RM? Do you think you’ll go next year? 🙂
@mariposa Thanks! You’re probably right about people thinking they’re doing terrible when they’re really doing just fine. (And I think you did fine too. 🙂 You were quiet, sure, but I’m also quiet when I don’t know people very well or when I don’t have any ideas as to what to say.) My favorite part of RM was getting to meet a couple of my favorite authors, author bloggers, and Story Embers people. 😉 😀 ) I’d really like to go again next year, but I don’t think I’ll be able to… My family’s planning a family vacation overseas in June, and that’ll be fairly expensive.
Oh! By the way… I had a couple ideas for Raiders of the Lost Arc (you don’t have to use them if they won’t work, though). There’s the idea I told you about at RM – about making Storm a Grammar Gnatsee. Then yesterday, I had the idea that you should do something related to Daniel and milking puppies. Maybe the Jessi dog turns against him because of that. Or something along those lines. XD
@jessi-rae Wow, that sounds fun. Where are you going overseas? 🙂
I love the grammar Gnatsee idea, but I’m not sure how to work that in there with the way the story is going. Now the milking puppy idea, that could work. *rubs chin* So much epicness to pack into one story. 😅
@mariposa We’re planning to go to Russia to finally meet in person some really cool family members. We’ve been talking over video chat the last couple months, but we really want to meet in person!
Yeah, I’m not sure how it would work either… Is Dan technically a Gnatsee or no?
Lol. Every part you’ve written thus far has been epic, and if anyone can pack even more into it, you can! 😀 I’m really looking forward to the next part! Though, I’ll be sad, ’cause it’s the last…
You should totally do more SE fan fic parodies! And so should most if not everyone else on here. There could never be too many fan fic parodies starring SE memebers. XD
@jessi-Rae Wow! You have relatives in Russia? Cool! I’ve never been outside of the US (planes and boats terrify me 😅). Have you ever visited another country before?
No, Dan is just a crazy villain who wants to start his own empire. 😜
Yes! They’re so fun! I really liked the one Dragon Snapper wrote for KP (The Legend of King Daeus). 😃
@mariposa Yep! It is pretty cool… And no, I’ve never been out of the U.S. Russia will be the first country I’ll have ever visited! (I know I don’t like heights, but hopefully the plane won’t be too terrifying of an experience!)
Lol. Dan sounds like a cool villain! XD
I’ll have to read that! I think I read the first couple segments, but then I got busy with homework and never got back to it. *sobs* Maybe I can start it again and have it finished before the school year begins… 😃
