Martin Detwiler started the topic Reviving Critique Submissions in the forum Critiques 6 years, 7 months ago
Hey Ereki!
Just wanted to pop in this portion of the forum because I feel like it’s been a bit of a ghost town ever since SE’s short story contest caused a bit of a rush of activity here.
I’m admittedly one of the worst of us at actually critiquing other people’s things. I don’t make the time that I ought to for it. But despite that, I do want…[Read more]

Martin Detwiler replied to the topic Weekly Wonderings in the forum Erekdale Writing Discussions 6 years, 7 months ago
Short and sweet this week, because we’re hitting this question pretty late in the week. (Obligatory post of The Document for Questions.)
What is your favorite character quirk that you have ever come across or come up with in your writing/reading travels?

Martin Detwiler replied to the topic Writing Life: Conclusion and UPDATE! in the forum Weekly Theme Discussion 6 years, 7 months ago
Ereki!
I’ve been taking a bit of a breather because I got woefully behind on some of my article writing duties as intern. Also I got sick somewhere in there. Nasty fever. But now I’m all better. 😀
Anyway, trying to pick things up where I left them a week or so ago. I think what we’ll do is create a google doc for the submitting of questions,…[Read more]

NEW MEMBER ANNOUNCEMENT!
I’ve got two new initiates here who have been given access to Erekdale and may already be wandering among us, as yet faceless and silent. O.o But don’t worry, it’s only been a few days, so they haven’t had a chance to work out all our secrets yet.
Erekdale, let’s all welcome @tinuviel and @tashah-claymore to the guild! I…[Read more]

LRC replied to the topic The definition of "clean" fiction in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 7 months ago
Welllll, I haven’t read LotR, so I can’t comment on that one, lol. If it’s just as you described I would consider it clean, yet maturer in theme. Oh, and you said
Cleanliness, to me, means that I’m not going to stumble across a sex scene or some weird cult, or have to sit through 400 pages of swearing. Cleanliness does not mean t…

*flies in throwing feathers around* Kree! Ereki, after all this time it is here! A Word War has started today! Draw out your pens and wipe off your keyboards it is time to churn out words!
Someone suggested a way to see other’s word counts for some friendly competition. So here is a spreadsheet. Just double click to edit a space and add your name…[Read more] -
Princess Foo replied to the topic Prompt War: Culture Clash in the forum Announcements 6 years, 8 months ago
Woo-hoo! We got some serious editing done. Thank you to everyone who helped out!
Tomorrow night is the deadline! Last chance for edits! We are currently FIVE words over the word limit of 2500 words. If the remaining tweaks don’t get it under, then we can just take out the title. (Amazing title, btw)

@dekreel yeah, Danny’s kind of an exception there. XD
I will be sure to let you know when I watch the classics! 😄
@sarah-inkdragon fantasy is great that way, being able to make it whatever you want. Â And I do agree that more moral and ethical situations and questions arise in fantasy. Â At least it’s easier and less obvious to bring them up. T…[Read more]

Hi, @sarah-inkdragon! Â I love your name!
Yeah, I haven’t finished a book yet because of having so many ideas as well! Â I’ve been trying to focus on just one, but it doesn’t always work lol.

@sageinthemeadow Awesome! Sounds like a productive week, then. 🙂 I think I did pretty well with my goals, all things considered. School of course is always hectic starting up, but it wasn’t too bad. I’m guessing you’re done with school now? I’m just assuming ’cause you seem older than me… 😛

Princess Foo replied to the topic Prompt War: Culture Clash in the forum Announcements 6 years, 8 months ago
It’s time to start writing! Sorry I am getting this out so late in the day. In our brainstorming doc, we came up with a really awesome premise of a female alien attempting to romance a human. Unfortunately, it seems that we don’t have many people that can be a writer this month. It’s completely understandable—school is starting and August is a v…[Read more]

It’s prompt war time! This month’s prompt: Write a story in which two cultures clash. The word limit is 2500 words and the deadline is September 1st.
Let’s try to finish brainstorm by Saturday the 24st and aim for the first draft to be done by Wednesday the 28th. That will give us time to edit. If you are interested in writing, please let me know…[Read more]

Hello Ereki!
First of all, an apology for my radio silence for all of last week. A couple things in my personal life went wonky and I allowed that to overrun my responsibilities to you all, and for that I do apologize.
Second, the Writing Life series of Weekly Discussions has come to a conclusion! We’ve covered a lot of ground and a huge variety…[Read more]

Hey guys! How did your goals go last week? I did pretty good with mine, I think. Better than usual. I just didn’t really draw… like pretty much at all…

At one point they had an announcement article on the blog, although it looks like they’ve removed it. Which I suppose makes sense actually. *shrug *Unfortunately peanut butter.
