@calidris Yeah, I totally agree that Christians should be people who talk about hard topics with grace and truth, in art and in the church, etc. My audience is intended to be adults and mature young adults. Ambrose starts as a teen, but a late teen like 18/19 or so, and by the time we make it to enslavement he is likely going to be a year or two…[Read more]

@adnyole of course!  Thank you for clarifying!  I think it’s great that you’re considering including it – sexual abuse is sadly extremely common in slavery, but it’s not something people like to talk about.  I also think it’s interesting that it was coercion, but not outright force – I think that sometimes people tend to just look at the act it…[Read more]

@calidris Yoh! You just hit the nail on the head! Yeah, this is the type of advice I am looking for. I have literally been wrestling with those types of questions about the character… I definitely have the purpose in mind to show a story of restoration and redemption, definitely not out for willy-nilly here. The context is intended to be one of…[Read more]

@adnyole Hello!  I have a few thoughts 🙂

Before I get started, I am going to (non-graphically) discuss sexual abuse in this context, so just a heads up in case this is a sensitive topic for you!  Also, I don’t know what your gender is, so I’m just going to address both sides of the issue XD

So, I guess my question is, what was the context b…[Read more]

@lady-grace

Oh dear (I hope you meant the turtle and not my characters’ head exploding *hears crashing in background* Erm, but who can tell with that crazy lot of mine? XD)

But either way, you should’ve seen my baby dragon with the hiccups! It’s a miracle the house is still standing! *hides scorched rug behind dresser* *grins*

Hey, that’s…[Read more]

@sydney

Hi. *waves*

Haha, I know exactly what you are talking about. XD Some side characters insist on stealing the spot-light and that makes it hard as an author.

Calidris had some great advice. One thing I thought maybe I should mention is you could always try 2 points of view instead of 1. If Payton wants to steal the show but for story…[Read more]

@imwritehere1920

My characters had me…erm, detained for awhile XD.

I won’t try to catch up with all the debates, but rather, go back to the most pressing and concerning of them all: should fire-breathing turtles be classified as dragons, turtles, or something else.

😂
Yes! It’s very concerning, and it has now grow to a bigger issue. They are getti…[Read more]

Kind of random….but didn’t know where else to post this…

In case anyone wants to know, we have 802 days left of Biden as President

Hey, Kinda late to the party but I got some comments from the peanut gallery. I think a lot of what Christians can consume comes down to their personal freedom and their personal weaknesses. Each person needs to discern with their people and God, what they can and can’t handle. Some read LOTR, some can’t, some read Harry Potter, some adamantly…[Read more]

@this-is-not-an-alien

XD lol yeah…it might take longer, but it’ll still kill them. *smirks at Alessio*

@ethan-leonard XD

Alrighty! Don’t be scared to just post something completely unexpected with no warning, it’ll be fun! *for everyone but our characters 😋*

OooOoooh 0.0

What about…if someone who is literally fireproof touches it…? *side-eyes Alessio who instantly pretends he hasn’t been eavesdropping this whole time while considering touching that sword…[Read more]

@this-is-not-an-alien

Lol you’re good. I think…maybe a mix of two and three.

Fun Fact: Miles’ sword was forged by ***** (I have no idea what yet) but basically it was forged long ago for the King Gabor. After Gabor died, his wife took up the sword and escaped to Parvus. Years later, Miles comes along, takes up the same sword, and begins a war o…[Read more]
