Oi. Thanks for the reminder, @catwing!
So, first off, I think I’ll post the link to the google doc every week, so it’s really easy to access and fresh in people’s memories. (The google doc for asking questions, that is.)
But until I get more questions in there, I’ll keep asking you guys a question each week.
How vivid is your imagination?

Yeah. Probably. @hope-ann
Okay. Let’s try to do a write-in tomorrow (Tuesday) around 7 pm EST. (I would say tonight, but I’m busy this evening and since it’s my idea I should probably show up for the first attempt. :P)
So whoever shows up first can just start it off. There’s a set time so that people will show up around the same time and not more…[Read more] -

Josiah DeGraaf replied to the topic Avengers: Endgame Discussion Thread (Here Be Spoilers) in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years ago
@princess-foo I’m a huge fan of Nando v Movies as well–most all of his videos suggest some really solid revisions, and I was very much on board for his suggestions for revising Endgame.
@coggleton You know, I came out with the same thoughts regarding Thanos–he didn’t seem quite as interesting. I’m not sure how much that had to do with it being…[Read more]

If you haven’t turned in your word count yet, you should so now. Cause if you put things off you tend to just keep putting them off. *mutters*at least I do that…
So here’s just a friendly reminder for y’all to turn in your word counts! Whether they be 10, 100, 1000, 10,000, or 100,000 words! (If you have 100,000 I might be a little concerned…[Read more] -

@devastate-lasting that’s great that you already have a story idea!
@princess-foo I do remember the Scamalot one — I think that’s my favorite story from Erekdale XD
I’m definitely going with fantasy. Strangely my idea is relatively akin to the on I entered last year: people with superpowers. Only the setting is totally different and theme is…[Read more]

Who else has seen the announcement for the next SE short story contest? I might have totally flipped out and squealed when I saw it. xD
Anyway, I thought it would be cool to start a thread for other Ereki who are planning on participating. We can brainstorm ideas, keep each other accountable, beta read each other’s stories later on — all that…[Read more]

@princess-foo Oooh–I’d never realized that Iron Man fall parallel before. That’s really neat!
My take on what the film was implying was that time travel didn’t change the past–it just created alternate timelines (hence, the Ancient One’s speech). That’s why they couldn’t just kill Baby Thanos or anything–the shenanigans they caused with Loki,…[Read more]

Hello Erekdale!
Today, we have a discussion piece from Faith Blum, where she talks for a little bit about being non-motivated or discouraged as a writer.
Though short, her words leave a lot to unpack. I’m hoping we can really get into it this week. 🙂

So how did everyone survive their goals last week? I did not really set any goals (I know, kinda hypocritical 😛). It was kinda an insane week. I’m hoping I will be able to do more this week…[Read more]
