@ryowildfire Hullo! Welcome to Story Embers! My name’s Ariella, but most folks around here call me Ari. 🙂 I’m also a fan of HTTYD. The first movie is my favorite of the three, though the third was the only one to actually get me teary-eyed. 😛

I’ve heard a lot about inner critics lately. My friend @noodle-mum can probably relate a bit more than…[Read more]

@noodle-mum

That is totally fine. You can email me at needleworksbyselah@gmail.com whenever you want to read it. I am in no hurry. 🙂

Mm…I don’t mind telling you about it at all, but I honestly don’t know how to describe it without slaughtering it. Besides which, the main plot is basically a mystery and I don’t want to ruin it for you, lol! I…[Read more]

@noodle-mum Thank you! I love them too. xD

Haha! That’s a crazy story. I love it! (I love that first paragraph, by the way. The voice is really cool.) And I totally get what you mean about the characters coming alive. Lotro especially has done that for me. One day he just clicked, and suddenly his weird voice, so unlike mine, was taking over the…[Read more]

@noodle-mum

It’s nice to meet you too 😀

I have at least three WIPs at the moment, but one is much more advanced then the others. I don’t have a name for it yet (I’m hoping one hits me when I actually complete the thing XD ) Coming up with titles is harder then one might think.

P.S I <i>love </i>classic<i> </i>Disney stuff too, and some of my…[Read more]

Hey @noodle-mum welcome! I’m new here too, but everyone is really nice.

@noodle-mum Mm, yes, good characters are always what attaches me to a book too! I don’t think I’ve ever loved a book just for the plot.

My main WIP is a long fantasy series called The Alpha Saga, which spans almost the entire history of a world I’ve created. Here’s a little blurb thing I wrote up for the first book, Dahop’s Ember, which I’m…[Read more]

@caserola @ariel-ashira @noodle-mum @j-a-penrose @ariella-newheart

Okay. To be fair, this time it wasn’t Starscream who dragged me away for another Long Absence. See, there was this trader in the town of Tilmae, on the plains of Naagstumek, several hundred leagues to the west of the Great Sandy Desert. I meet this trader from time to time in…[Read more]

@noodle-mum

Yeah, I totally get that! 🙂

I don’t have any, like, overviews or anything for those books, but if you want to you are welcome to read the first 5 chapters of Out of the Ashes that I have written and on a Google Doc right now. (I have 10 chapters done, but I write them all out in notebooks before transferring to a Doc, so I just have…[Read more]

@j-a-penrose I think all of our first writings were terrible. But, hey, everyone has to start somewhere.

That sounds cool! What are some of your favorite soundtracks?

@noodle-mum Those all sound really neat!

I haven’t heard of them before. I’ll have to look them up.

@selah-chelyah Oh wow, his fic can be tough. What’s your favorite historical…[Read more]

@noodle-mum Neat! I’m a fantasy fan too, and that’s mainly what I write. I haven’t read any of those authors, though. What do you like best about them?

Yes! Having characters learn to overcome their lies is always such a good thing. We pretty much all believe lies about something, so that character arc can really resonate with us even if we…[Read more]

Hi, @caserola!!!! *waves like crazy* Glad to see you joined!!! There’s a lot of great people here who also love to write. I’m as curious as Jess. What do you like to write the most? Also, @noodle-mum, and Caserola, there’s a short story contest going on with Story Embers. If you want to enter, check out the rules on the right side of the site! @ari…[Read more]

@noodle-mum, Vip tells me to thank you. The hobbit is as good or maybe even better than LOTR. LOTR is hard, but it is definitely worth the read.

@noodle-mum

Ah, the world’s most terrible question…the one with no answer! 😛

I have a lot of them, but not really any favorites, per say. I mean, the ones that are more developed are my favorite right now because I know the characters in them better, but that doesn’t go for much. XD If I had to pick one, maybe Unquenchable, my longest and…[Read more]

Welcome, @noodle-mum! 😃

@noodle-mum, welcome to Emberia/SE. This is my pet dragon Vip, and in case you can’t see him, he’s small and blue and sitting on my shoulder right now.

Do you like Tolkien?

@ashira I’m older than 20. 😛 My current genres are dystopian, mystery/thriller, fantasy, contemporary, and sort of modern fantasy.

Two is about a girl named Two who’s trying to find her past.
The Disappearance of Elizabeth Rixton is about a private investigator trying to find a girl who disappeared ten years prior.
Heir of Blood is about a kid…[Read more]

*flies in after another sandsnake battle*

Glad to see you all getting along and getting to know each other! I apologize, but awhile ago I befriended a griffin named Starscream (through a certain series of events), and he constantly drags me away from conversation to do battle with these…[Read more]

@cassie-hartfinh
Yup, that’s me. 😛

@noodle-mum

Welcome! A friend of “Cassie’s” is a friend of mine. 🙂  *shakes hand vigorously*  And… *whispers* …I have over 20 WIP’s, so I can relate as well, lol. Make sure and tell us what guild you get!

@noodle-mum Hey, welcome to Story Embers! Nice to meet you!

Do you have any favorite authors? Are there any particular themes you like to tackle in your stories?

I can definitely relate to your struggles with the inner critic. Overcoming my perfectionism is a constant battle for me, and sometimes the inner critic just won’t leave me alone. xD…[Read more]
