We got a lot done on chat last night. We worked out the style, tone and problem of our story. To sum it all up: The story will be told like it is a video game, although the fact that it is a game is not directly mentioned.
Ready? Let’s begin.

Filewriter posted an update 7 years, 1 month ago
Hey, guys! Sorry, I haven’t been very active in the guild AT ALL lately. I’ve decided to go on hiatus from Story Embers for a little while. I figured out that I’ve just committed to too many things and I’m having trouble with doing them all. So, while Story Embers is really important to me, it’s also one of the things that I’ll be giving up. For a…[Read more]

Aw, we’ll miss you, File!

You’ll be missed my friend, but I understand. Enjoy your break! I shall await your return. *hands you feathers for your journey* Until we meet again. :3

Hey, mate it’s okay. Do what you have to do 🙂

Aw, well I’ll miss you! Thanks for being awesome. 🙂

Darn, I get back from a hiatus to find friends going on a hiatus. (Wait what’s the plural form of hiatus? *hmm*)
We’ll all miss you, but I understand that sometimes, breaks are necessary! See you soon! 🙂

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?

KREEE! KREE! To me my warriors! It is time to battle again against the forces of doom. Or something. This month’s prompt: Write a story in second person.
Just like always, we need three people to commit to writing, and three to commit to editing. However, even if you didn’t commit to helping, don’t let that stop you from participating. The more…[Read more]

Chalice started the topic Thoughts On Hyperrealism in the forum Camp Artifex Art Discussions 7 years, 1 month ago
I just wanted to get a discussion going on here about hyperrealism. I’ve been reading about it lately and wanted to hear some other artists opinion on the subject. A lot of people seem to think it’s not creative, it’s not art, and the people who make it are basically just human photocopying machines. Anyway, what are your…[Read more]

I have an idea…
What if when schedule write-ins (or whatever we call it)?
Where we just schedule a time for a bunch of us to hop on and just write or roleplay or talk or something together. Some on Hangouts, some here.
It probably wouldn’t work for everyone every time. But I think if we don’t it on the same day and same time, every week it can…[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] -

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]

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. 🙂

@sageinthemeadow That’s very interesting. I find that I’ve had almost the reverse reaction since learning more about story-craft.
Knowing firsthand how difficult stories are to craft – I find that I’m able to enter the mind of the creator and sense what they were trying to do, and also pick out and appreciate the things they did right and which…[Read more]
