@merieshenanigans oh good, you’ll love it here then xD That’s very fair, and tbh it’s kind of a rule of thumb that all of your own characters are horrible nasty brats and everyone else’s are precious cinnamon rolls (except then you reach a certain level of familiarity and you start making up your own tragic headcanons for other people’s…[Read more]

@calidris

Friend, my imagination is a terrible place. Don’t you underestimate it xD

That being said… while I have no qualms torturing my own dear characters, I can’t say I feel the same toward others’. They are to be protected…

Pffft I saw through that a mile away xD

@merieshenanigans

Oh my goodness, I LOVE all of this. It seems like there is hope for the future of fantasy after all *weeping*

Awww, thank you so much! That makes me so happy!!! 😀

Okay but the characters?? I had no idea what you meant when you said it’d be chaos but now I think I have some understanding of it, good grief xDD Just imagining th…

It’s quite annoying for those of us who still hold love in our hearts for the places we know xD

Exactly! You get me XD

Helllloooo I don’t get to see this often!! Old Testament culture is FASCINATING; I can’t wait to see what you’ll do with it!

Exactly! It’s epic and whenever I lose inspiration I just rip off a specific law fro…[Read more]

@merieshenanigans

Yes!! I liked how that book mainly explored Anne sort-of-not-really-accidentally meddling in other people’s affairs xD So much everyday craziness.

Exactly! And I think it really shows how a story doesn’t have to be super high-stakes to be engaging. It was still so much fun to read!

Hard to say! The ending broke me but… I sti…

Hard to say! The ending broke me but… I still loved it. I really like how the MC’s love for her old home never got overshadowed by her new experiences in America, which seems to happen a lot both…[Read more]

@merieshenanigans

Definitely read Anne of Ingleside if you ever have the chance; it’s one of my favorites   Honestly though, it’s really hard to choose! I’d say Anne of Avonlea, Windy Poplars, and Rainbow Valley are some others. Rilla was lots of fun as well.

Oh, I loved Windy Poplars as well! I particularly remember the debacle with Hazel and her…[Read more]

@merieshenanigans

Definitely the Anne of Green Gables series! I love Anne <3 And as for Lewis… That’s really impossible for me to choose a favorite of his works xD I think The Last Battle is wonderful though–and quite unappreciated.

I’ve read only a few of his other works. The Space Trilogy is really intriguing and full of symbolism that I can u…[Read more]

Hi Merie!

What a fine name!  I actually have a character with a name similar to yours in my WIP.  Her name is “Miray” pronounced, “Meer -AY”, and she is just precious.  Such a delight to write.

Welcome to SE!  There are a lot of great people here!
Hopefully, you can join some of us “virtually” in the upcoming Resonant The…[Read more]

@merieshenanigans

OH! You’re @calidris ‘ friend! I’m so happy to meet you!! You’ll love the character castle, it’s unbridled chaos and just generally the best thing ever XD

The Anne of Green Gables series was my childhood! And I’m currently reading Sanderson’s Stormlight Archives, though Skyward is one of my favorites by him.

Oh, same XD I rea…[Read more]

Hi, Merie! I love your username and your profile pic (the dog is so cute!)! Is that your dog? If he/she is, what breed is he/she?

 It’s hard to pick favorites, so I’ll just list a few of my favorite authors: L.M. Montgomery, C.S. Lewis, Brandon Sanderson, Shannon Hale, Adelaide Thorne, Nova McBee, A.M. Sohma, Melanie Cell…

Ok so to start this off

@merieshenanigans, meet @rose-colored-fancy, @rose-colored-fancy, meet @merieshenanigans.  You guys are my two online friends, and I’m so excited that you’re finally getting to “meet!”

That’s a relief, because I was mildly concerned when he didn’t make it onto that list xD  I too love Tolkien, as you know quite well b…[Read more]

@merieshenanigans

Hey, Merie! 😀 I’ll be honest and say I can’t 100% remember where I know you from, but I do recognize you and I’m excited to see you here! XD Welcome to Story Embers!

What are your favorite books by Lewis and Sanderson?
