Goodness! Yep, guys, it looks like Avensbeck did it again! Awesome job though, really good job…[Read more]

Okay guys! It looks like we are just about done! *gasps* I’ll be turning this in in about TWELVE hours. (Speaking in hours so that this makes sense internationally.) Any changes and/suggestions must be made by then!

Thanks everyone who has participated, and woot you guys are…[Read more]

Hey guys!

After a few more little edits, we’ve gotten this draft just about done! All we need is to give the rest of you an opportunity to look at it and make any comments and suggestions that you can think of. I’ll be checking this fairly regularly to make sure that any ideas get checked out. Be sure to hop over to the doc and leave any…[Read more]

Hey guys!

So far, it looks like the general consensus is for the young girl jumping off the train and being shocked by the world around her. I’m also thinking to get really nice character voice, we should go for first person (present or past) as that is a very deeply biased voice.

@Esjohnson has made a different suggestion on the doc, but I…[Read more]

@cassie-hartfinh Sounds interesting. One of the main things we need to be keeping in mind though is that we need the character voice to be amazing. Super unique and real. Often it is good to display this through, as @steward-of-the-pen suggested, something we’re all familiar with. Then again, we don’t all want to do the exact same thing.

I think…[Read more]

Hello! Sorry I’m late to welcome you guys, but welcome! =D

@northerner Ooh, those books sound cool! You said protag and I had to think a moment to figure out you meant protagonist, lol. I don’t know very many abbreviations. Hashtag sheltered, lol.

@northerner Haha, sorry, we’ll be sure to tone it down a bit. *patpat* Ironically, I think most of us are introverts. I myself am an INFP, so, kinda ironic that I can seem fairly energized via technology.

Hope you enjoy being a Parimi!

@steward-of-the-pen Ah cool cool. I’ll see what I can do. I’m just having to contact the inactive members…[Read more]

@northerner You’re welcome!

Ahhhhhh. I suppose I can understand that— the second point more than the first. I’ve generally thought of acting as only a few points off from normal storytelling (in which you are also saying something that isn’t necessarily true, but which hopefully reveals some truth). That said, I also have a few friends who are v…[Read more]

@Northerner,
I laughed.

Many of these I have not read, and now as such are on my list. I actually own one of Christine de Pisan’s works – The Book of Deeds, of Arms, and of Chivalry, which I originally picked up as reading to inspire and guide the creation of my beloved/terrifying Countess Kyreleis, her tactical and strategic mind fused with…[Read more]

@Northerner, In response to your query as regards my Chesterton anthology – it is the Dover Reader, containing The Man Who Was Thursday (unread), The Club of Queer Trades (unread), six of the Father Brown stories (Working on The Salad of Colonel Cray), and several essays including Orthodoxy, A Piece of Chalk, and Cheese.

I recently finished Cheese…[Read more]

Hello, @lillian-parks03 and @northerner! Welcome to Parimi Alca! We’re glad to have you here. What are some of your favorite books? 😀

@j-a-penrose Wait, did you just say “guildlings”? EEEP! I promise not to tackle them the moment they arrive, and I think you’re much nicer than Guildmaster Clout. *wink*

Quick question, one of my friends joined Story Embers and we’d like to be in the same guild. Would she have to request to join Parimi Alca (and if so how?), or would she end up…[Read more]

Welcome, @lillian-parks03 and @northerner!!! Yay, more friends who love to write!! Honestly, I wish I’d found this place sooner, myself. You’ll love it here. We’re all a bunch of crazies who’s main purpose in life is to blast the world with the written word. You’ll fit right in. Tell us a little about yourselves! What’s your favorite genre?…[Read more]
