Hi Emily! My name is Melody. Glad to have you join us 😉

I don’t use Story Embers much… or write much, but those are both things I want to do wayyyy more 😛

Ooooh, you’ll have to share some of your poetry. I’m not as much of a poetry person, but my sister totally is.

If you have any questions or anything on Story Embers, don’t…[Read more]

Hey guys, sorry it’s been so long… crazy summer again. I’m currently working on writing for my character Ryumon (he loses). I’ll try to post it soon

I can write in the next week, but I will be out of town the week of the 13th (I always seem to go out of town when we’re writing, lol! I think it’s happened both summers).

After that I can write as much as I am able. I have a super busy summer ahead of me, but that’s normal, 😀

MELODY

Personally, I do not think that we should have more than one point of view… that would be confusing.

Pros of First: easier to write characters emotions, feelings, and thoughts

Pros of Third: better clarification

Good point. First and Third are both totally fine for me. XD

Yes, let’s do a mix of both for the beginning.

And then for my characters, should I write a beginning for Ryumon too?? He is the MC who we put in to get a perspective of the slavery aspects of things.

At last, I have arrived! Okay, so sorry 😔

So, I have like 2 weeks left of school. I’m almost done, then I can actually like think about this? Yes, okay. (Well just so you know though I’ll be out of town June 12-18) but outside of  that I can write.

Throwing in my thoughts from the RP-ing thread…[Read more]

Yeah, the first 900 words that I’ve written are very sad. Hopefully it doesn’t get too depressing *face palm* I guess it’s just one of those books.

And yessssss… the planning is crucial. I felt like I had planned so much, for so long, and then I started writing and less than 700 words in, I got stuck. I wrote 200 more a while later. It…[Read more]

Sounds good to me!

That list was a little outdated, for sure, but at least we had something to go off of! XD!

I’ve actually gotten that question before on this website XD! (maybe that’s a sign… that I should revise that and make it more clear). She’s feels guilt because the car accident was her fault, and several children died, or were seriously injured… so pretty horrific.

Is your name actually Erynne? If so, I love the way you spell it!…[Read more]

Okey-dokey! Thanks so much for doing all that!

@winter_rose @mischievous-thwapling

So are we the only 4 still committed to this?

I think our next step should be to solidify our MAIN characters, and their role in our story.

Here’s what I have so far (and this is just from the three that I tagged as well as myself). We’ll need to…[Read more]

My current main story does not have a name, and I’ve only written 900 words. I’ve done a lot of brainstorming though 🙂

It’s about a girl named Erin who lives in a country over taken by a large (and growing) rebel group who calls themselves the Insurgents. At the beginning, her Father leaves to fight against them, and as the oldest, she’s…[Read more]

#4

Scientific Branch-The Labyrinth

A and B

Diplomatic Branch

I agree with Thwap about how #2 has more to do with diplomacy, but I really like the idea from #1, so maybe we could do a morph of both of them, because I’m pretty sure that would be possible. (not to complicate things or anything… lol)

Judicial…[Read more]

Hey guys! I’ve been out of town for a week, so before I vote I’m gonna catch up on the previous stuff from page 39.

•  Joelle’s plot list:

Sounds very good. Thanks for putting all that together!

So, who is the Kid? I think I missed out on the times we talked about him… and I know nothing…[Read more]

Yeah, that sounds great!

I dunno if this would be helpful, but here is a list of everything we’ve been developing for the last 8 months (I can’t decide if that amount of time has felt short, or long… 😛 )

• Main Characters
• Extra Characters
• The Cullings (comprehensive guide, planet, ship)
• The Games in the cullings…

[Read more]

Hmmmmmm…

So, umm hi!

I’m a little lost as to what’s going on right now. Could I get a brief summary recap?

And Joelle, I don’t really know much about A or B or anything, cuz I didn’t originally do much planning on them. I can look around.

MEL

Hi! I started learning some latin last school year, but the grade I’m in now doesn’t teach it. I haven’t reviewed it in quite a long time, and through our virtual school, I kinda lost it.  We went through mostly verb conjugation charts and vocabulary lists.

MEL

Also if I try to edit a post:

???

Sounds like a plan!

MEL

Ooofffff. **has nervous breakdown**  We can’t make it be the same, or people won’t think this is original… we could either completely eliminate this, or change the idea completely, I dunno. Any thoughts?

@winter_rose

Yeah, game programmer is fine 🙂

Yeah, they’re definitely not manual labors. I’m sure people could be…[Read more]

Gathering from the last 5 pages if random lists, this is what I think we should do:

1. Make a solidified, hopefully unchanging, list of the games and what exactly they are.

2. Make sure we have a solidified, hopefully unchanging 😛 , Andor and Mr. B (let’s get a name for him) biography, and how both of them fit into…[Read more]

Wow thank you so much. These are amazing, and your last 4 characters that you said you would love to make a book out of is a super cool idea

bye!

THE RACE (Diplomacy Branch) (in the Desert arena)

The government provides hover boards, hover-blades, hover bikes, and a few other small vehicles. The track may work well in the Desert biome, but whoever picks this can decide. Weapons and combat are allowed, but sabotage…[Read more]

**skims paragraph and sees the “wink, wink”. Hmm? OH!! Joelle wants me to make a planet. Gotcha!**

Yeah, I can try to, soon. I’ll let you know.
I’m going to compile a list of all the ideas we all have blurted for the individual games, because I’m lost. If you guys are anything like me, you’ll see how long the post is and skim over…[Read more]

Go ahead!

@winter-rose
is posting all her filler ones and details on here too, because I haven’t seen them 🙂

Thanks guys!

MELODY

Yeah, I think we are doing the slavery thing. And we do need that view point.

@joelle-stone    and the rest of y’alls!

Yup, everything you said sounds good 🙂

Main Characters 

Vika:  wins TOU branch (Joelle)

Nori:  wins Diplomatic branch (Wingiby)

Allor: wins Scientific branch(Thwapling)

Sikya: wins Military branch (Ros…[Read more]

1. I don’t know, depends on what everybody else thinks. GUYS! WHAT DO YOU THINK! (In case you don’t know what the questions is: should we have a MC who is a loser of the Cullings (thus making us have 9 main characters- the one loser and the 8 winners???)

2. Okay! Cool! Umm, maybe sometime in the next few weeks you can post your…[Read more]

@mischievous-thwapling

First off, Thwap,
Praying for you! Hope all the details and stress can be worked out. We’ll keep tagging you, but take all the time you need!

Joelle,

Wonderful! Amazing! (How do you do that), and those names were so hilarious, and me as the Historian, LOL!
mom: “why are you…[Read more]

Okay, so here’s what I think we should do before initial writing begins and stuff.

Since is been so long since we were brain storming, we all need a refresher (and umm, nervous chuckle, I have some questions.)

1. We solidified who is winning what, and those are our main ch…[Read more]

Are y’alls the ones doing the “Escape from Ackerley” story on here?
Why did the wingfeathersaga website forum close down? And how did you all know to come here? (sorry, more questions lol)

So I think, before we start writing anything, we need to just make a basic plot gist. A guide to keep us on the same track. I don’t know how…[Read more]

You literally are SO hilarious!

@joelle-stone

Great list. I didn’t have that in my notes app, which means that wasn’t posted on the details page either (I’ll check just in case), so thanks for bringing that back up 🙂 And everything looks accurate there.

@arindown

Thanks for letting us know. And thank you for all your help…[Read more]

And the questions begin! So kinda like all the character castle type stuff on here? Kinda-sorta? And you write a couple paragraphs or more and then tag the next person? We should definitely stick to a more organized way of things, because then our editing process will be way easier in thirty years, Wingiby! LOL

Joelle and @mischievo…[Read more]

So here are our current developed “main” characters:

Arindown had one character (Candi Marie Stethison), but I’m not sure if she’s still with us, so we’ll have to see if we’re actually using that. @arindown

Joelle has 2 characters (Vika and Aleck).

I have 3 characters, but the…[Read more]

Yup, I’m good with RP! (Except I will ask TONS of questions, and I will probably need direction in multiple spots.  I’m figuring you guys are o.k. with that.)

I can do a google doc! I have it made already :), it’s just blank.

And we have our Collaborative Story Details Posting…[Read more]

Writing in first person is by far my favorite way to write. But it definitely comes with some challenges. One big question:

When writing in first person, do you incorporate scenes that the main character is not involved in? Because, in essence, your character wouldn’t know what had happened.
But what if that scene is essential to your…[Read more]

Great explanation! So, in essence, each chapter would be from a different character’s perspective?

Joelle S hit the nail on the head. I think writing a RP for FUN! with the maybe of turning it into a published book someday is a great way to start 🙂

And I write best in 1st person, too 🙂 The…[Read more]

I’ll need some direction and “how to’s” if we are starting working on intros for our characters. And I’m pretty busy with school. I’ll see what you guys think.

I think it would be super duper cool if we could do it book.

I’ve never actually written in role-play before, and I don’t even barely know what that would look…[Read more]

Yeah, I’m still here. I’m just busy with school and life and such. And like you, I don’t know where we are with things right now.

Yes, DEFINITELY keep tagging me, I might not respond, but I see it in my email, and it’s good to know that you guys aren’t dead, literally. (LOL, I know you’re not!)

Bye!

So, I don’t really care what branch RIkiar and Aleyda win, they are both very warrior trained and stuff. Those branches sound fine for them 🙂

MEL

Umm, I have not decided what my characters are going to win yet. I have 2 winner characters and one loser character… I haven’t put much thought into the branch they will win. SO….. yeah.

MEL

You can feel free to do that!

@joelle-stone

Nice characters! I’ll see about building a world for them sometime either tomorrow or at the end of the week. (I’ll be out of town for four days 🙂 )
