Just some heads up! Daeus announced that they will be archiving the guilds; he didn’t say when. So I figured I should let you two know and also ask-do you want to relocate this thread to somewhere else?

Hope you have a good day!

Megyn lay still, her eyes still pressed shut. Slowly, she drew her knees up to her chest and curled herself up, whispering faintly “I can’t . . .  I can’t give up.”

But she lay still. Slowly, she drew a heavy breath and swallowed hard against a rising sob. Reaching over her shoulders, she feebly slid the cello from her…[Read more]

@esther-sears @pensword Coolio! 🙂

Straightening her back, Megyn stumbled on. Her teeth gritted as she stepped on another stone.

As she grabbed a limb for support, her eyes caught a flicker of light through the trees. What was that? she thought as she caught her breath. Hesitantly, she took a step forward, eyes ahead on the tiny flame of…[Read more]

@pensword @esther-sears I’ll just us off where we left off I suppose! 😀

Moira stood at the door, heart thumping. Who would be standing outside her door this time of night? But it was a terrible night, maybe it was one of the neighbors and they need help…

@pensword @esther-sears  okee, dokee. It looks like we’re all ready then. How shall we continue?

@esther-sears @pensword  I’m all for starting it up again.

@pensword @dakota

Great! I’m glad everyone is healthy 🙂

Do you both want to get this going again? I’m so sorry for my disappearance, I’ll do my best to not do that again 😉

@dakota  @pensword

I’m so sorry!! I guess it’s been awhile since I’ve been on Story Embers ‘:) (Life kinda got turned upside down but we’re making it ^_^ How are you both doing?)

oops! forgot to tag you! @pensword

@pensword Hey! Glad to see you’re okay! 🙂 And it’s okay, don’t worry about it.

Do you think we should keep going even though @esther-sears isn’t here or should we wait for her?

@esther-sears @pensword (Hey! Just wanted to check on you guys! How are you doing? Hoping and praying everything is ok!)

@pensword

Anything concerning the overarching plot, theme and/or aesthetic of the story. Maybe even something the character likes & what they learn from it (if that makes sense).

@deeprun

Haha, yeah. Amish fiction is occasionally good and mostly bad, in my experiences. Having a romance with ‘normal’ people is all fine and great, but I don’t want morally and ethically perfect characters. (Not that Amish people are… but that’s the general portrayal. The farthest it seems to go against the grain is giving the MC a “…[Read more]

This is such an interesting (and important!) discussion.

I am a massive proponent for representation and diversity and to be honest I think it’s ridiculous that we’re now in 2020 and it’s still noteworthy if a character is ‘diverse.’ At the same time, I do agree with what’s already been said about forced diversity – both that it is a good means…[Read more]
