A ton of editing, lol. It’s really great to hear from my story-embers peeps again! How has character castle 2.0 been going?

Oooofff s a m e so many revisions 😭😭😭

Ah yes, CC2.0. There has been a changing of the guard of sorts, I am the only member left of our old group back when we wrote iirc😢 (Excluding Cathy/ @this-is-not-an-alien  wh…[Read more]

Hi @jasmine , here are a few more…

Sour expression – She made a face that could pickle a cucumber.

Dim-witted – If brains were gunpowder, he wouldn’t have enough to blow his nose.

His ears are so close together, a single thought can barely pass through the narrow hallway between them.

Cold – She had the warmth of a snow pea.

His heart is so…[Read more]

I will use this, lol

Hi Jasmine (@jasmine),

Oh, girl!  This question is probably going to get me in so much trouble for my answers…but, here goes…

Insults:

Fool – That guy is two sandwiches shy of a picnic.

Ugly – She had a face that could curdle milk.

Smelly – That smells like the south end of a northbound mule.

Too Young – I have cheese older than he…[Read more]

“Revenge? Revenge on…”

A loud mechanical whine interrupted them.  Nathair moved away from the door without even looking up. Oh wonderful, some regulars apparently – since the bartender knew to set a dozen glasses. Loud laughs like a group already drunk, albeit by adrenaline and eleven men sauntered in.

Smells like opportunity if you as Nathair.…[Read more]

With a look that said, “This is the last straw”, Alessio flopped onto the pillow and blankets he had thrown onto the floor. “I want sleep. Or death. Whichever comes first.”

He was sitting up, as Hades’ wrist withheld him from laying down. Having nothing better to do, Hades sat down. Honestly, he was tired, but he wanted to keep his attention on…[Read more]

“Revenge? Revenge on…”

Ax-Punk is drowned out by a hideous noise. As I resist the urge to cover my ears, Barkeep sets out a string of glasses. If there was a little less noise, I could have counted them.

As is, I wait for whoever is heralded by that noise.

The regulars here – and punk I can promise, you know who is a regular in a locatio…[Read more]

Anyway hope this helped!

It did, thank you! 🙂

It’s been so long since I saw you around! How has writing been, how are your characters, what have you been up to!?

*Happy gasp* JASMINE!!!! I MISSED YOU!!!

Okay, to slow down… XD Lemme see, for situations like these I never quite know what to do but I am very partial to exaggeratedly dramatic insults like “I hope a jackal pees on…[Read more]

Nothing gives me greater pleasure than horrifying people with my alternate use of British and American spellings XD

Noooooooooo
One or the otherrrrrrrrr

Aww, thank you so much! I love his name too! It was one of those cases where the character forms around the name. A writer friend suggested the name and the whole…

Alessio was done.

He quietly piled the bed sheets on the floor into a cozy nest and dropped on top of them like a nonverbal ‘kiss-my-sass’.

“I want sleep. Or death. Whichever comes first.” He mumbled, sardonically waiting for Sir Scary to stop standing where Alessio was forced to sit up for be dragged upright by the handcuf…[Read more]

Also, Laura, LOVE that magic system, it sounds SOOOO cool!!! You’ve really thought it through as well!

Thank you so much!! <3

Okay so the plan is: Someone finishes off Lord Castle, we drop in the new characters, a…

Hades was about to attack again, when a white explosion erupted between them. In the chaos, he saw a grin on Arsene’s face, with the fox mask he often wore (he had it on again).

“Hey now, break it up you three beacons of chaotic energy!”

…What?

“There, now that I have you attention,” Arsene continued in a challenging voice, “I would like…[Read more]

“If ya say so. I go by Burn.”

Burn took a sip of the whiskey.

“Hey, is anyone keeping tabs on Metal-Punk? He’s skulking in a corner like he thinks I can’t hear that non-stop clanking. If we’re gonna do revenge, I bet a hitter would be useful.”

“Revenge? Revenge on…”

The loud whine of aircraft engines filled the saloon of the trading p…[Read more]

@calidris

I also think that part of the issue is that main characters tend to be really boring and unlikable.  I think in some cases, people do gravitate towards morally gray or even straight up villainous characters just because they’re dark, but I also think that these characters are just generally really interesting!  I think that there’s kind…
