Hi @the-inkspiller! Welcome to Story Embers! (I love your profile name by the way. 🙂 )
I’m Evelyn and some of my story turn out pretty dark too. I try to use it though to contrast great light. Like @northerner mentioned stories don’t have to have explicitly the Christian gospel tacked on at the end but through darkness and how the characters…[Read more]

@Northerner HOLY COW YOU’RE THE FIRST PERSON TO GET IT WITHOUT ME TELLING THEM.
I HAVE PROBLEMS.What may occur is that I end up writing more episodes of her life from her youth to adulthood, although I do have a tight timeline to work under – from 13 to 29 is the span of her life as a Baroness Regnant over Zmeyorod (her fictional barony in the…[Read more]

Thanks for the response everyone (and the hugs!)
@Northerner, thanks for the recommendations and the lengthy post of helpfulness. I downloaded that Tolkien essay and I’m busy going through it while trying to keep up with my writing until I finally leave my job this Friday. I think I should have to look into more of C.S. Lewis’ work to inspire my…[Read more]

@northerner, I would read That Hideous Strength before bed, in fact I believe I did read it before bed.

Hello, my name is…. That Guy. Some who don’t know any better call me Thad Gee, but they’re wrong.
Kidding. Actually I’m Jonathan Wong. I’m just a hermit trying to shed his shell and actually make a career of my talents. I’ve joined a number of writing communities at staggering personal expense (Stinginess, not David, is my middle name), but I…[Read more]

Allo, @northerner! I’m Sarah Narnathron, but you know me already as Sarahtps. (You know, if you didn’t recognize the avatar.) Nice to see you here! I saw you on one of the other bits of the forum and decided I ought to acknowledge your existence in other fashions.
I don’t think I knew you were an INTP, but I am exactly 0% surprised. I’m also a…[Read more]

@northerner It’s nice to meet you + welcome to Story Embers (I have not been on here a lot, so I feel pretty unqualified to say that, but anyways…)! I was on KP, too, but I’m not sure we ever ran into each other.
Do you particularly like movies/film? What are some of your favorites?
Also, if I ever need to get educated on medieval life or…[Read more]

@Northerner I don’t remember the title either. I’ve read (or listened to) all of The Innocence of Father Brown and part of The Wisdom of Father Brown.

@northerner Well, a flying dinosaur is technically not a dinosaur—it’s an extinct flying reptile. 😉 😜

Welcome @northerner!
Chesterton! have you actually read the essay that quote is from? I know I’d seen the quote a couple of times before I read Alarms and Discursions. (It’s somewhere in that collection)
We need people who can educate us on obscure facts.

@northerner Welcome to Story Embers! Me and my assistant, Aberdeen the Authorosaurus, remember you from KP! 😃🦖
Here’s a question I bet you don’t get asked everyday: if you were a dinosaur, what species would you be?
