@morreafirebird @karthmin I’m just gonna dump some LOTR and Narnia thoughts here.

LOTR

• SOMEONE GIVE FARAMIR A HUG.
• I would follow Aragorn to the ends of the earth seriously he is so awesome.
• I was watching Return of the King with a friend for English class and we were taking notes. I was going over hers later and one line just said,…

@tashah-claymore I’ve actually never experienced encountering one of my characters in real life. 🙁 That must have been fun. XD

@hope-ann I believe it! So many people, and for some reason you see the biggest cross-section of characters when they’re congregating in one place and are All Very Hungry. XD

@emgc *laughs* I’m totally the same way.…[Read more]

Love all of these quotes so much, @princess-foo! These are all definitely in my top favorite LotR quotes.

Speaking of which, I wrote a thing about Lord of the Rings (and C. S Lewis) the other day. Seems like an appropriate place to share it, even though it’s basically an essay. XD

Hello everyone!

Let’s all welcome @bree-dawn to! She is our FINAL ADDITION to Erekdale! That’s right, this guild has ceased expanding and we’re now on cruise control, so to speak.

Anyway, let’s give Bree a warm welcome today, and get her accustomed to our craziness. 😀

K. M. Small, I like the idea but my sisters don’t do that kind of thing. Thanks, I like my picture too.

Candide, my sisters are 13 and 8. The older one write poems. The younger one hugs or uses some other physical affection.

@caserola Here’s a link to where you can sign up for NaNo: https://nanowrimo.org/sign-up

I meant the link to your story. 🙂

@kelly-lundgren Yeah I’ve had that happen. 😉

@tashah-claymore Great! I hope you do well in the competition. 🙂 And that’s awesome! I’ve been playing around 3 1/2-4 years as well.  Have you ever played for…[Read more]

@morreafirebird Oh! Um…ok, thanks for letting me know! I’m on vacation through Oct. 6 so I don’t know if I’ll QUITE get it up by the 7th, but it should be close 🙂

@hope-ann Great! Sounds like a busy week.

@caserola Yeah, I could probably do that. 🙂 Are you looking for more general critiques, or would you like me to critique grammar/prose/pacing as well?

@devastate-lasting That’s good then! Hope school’s been okay. 🙂

@tinuviel I’m glad you’ve had success with worldbuilding! It’s always exciting when everything starts falling into place. 😀  My goals have been going pretty well, thanks! I had a significant breakthrough with my world building as well, and while I wasn’t really able to finish my other writing goals, I’m happy with the progress I made. I didn’t…[Read more]

@karthmin That definitely sounds much less intimidating when you put it that way. I think I would use this subform a lot :). And I kind of like what @morreafirebird said about analyzing short stories, if we wanted to do something organized as a group.

@tashah-claymore @kelly-lundgren @devastate-lasting Excellent quirks, all of you! Personally, I have to say that my favorite quirk is dry humor delivered with a dead-pan expression.
