Whew, I’m glad! I totally get about the villains being better if you can contrast them with the heroes.

And a character more messed up than Chantara?! This I gotta see! My final vote is for Acantha then!

@everyone

Hey, y’all. Sorry I haven’t been as active. Life is busy, but it should slow down after next week, so I’ll try to post…[Read more]

Malvat rumbled. He was being ordered about by a human yet again. No matter if this one was empowered, he would let the ceiling crumble before he obeyed again. Was humiliated again. Of course, he’d save her life – it wouldn’t do to appear heartless – but it would be clear he chose to do it.

Unfortunately, before he could execute his plan, Jericho…[Read more]

Nithel came beside Alessio, and began to work at the wall. Then he watched Alessio, struggling… “Alessio,” He whispered, rather loudly, because the ceiling’s noise was loud. “It is not about the power, but your feelings. Do you want the flame to come? Why. Is it because you love us, and want to be saved? Is it because you are angry at this…[Read more]

Yeah, Connel is a lot like that except he’s secretly a coward and won’t sacrifice himself for anything (except maybe his dragon). At least at this point in the story.
Shady almost relatable villains are the best! And Chantara has so much fascinating character that lol is running away from your plot?

Ooh, cool! Yep, she has…[Read more]

@skylarynn Nice! Are there any certain culture’s legends which you are more partial to?

@imwritehere1920 I’ve been meaning to read The Girl Who Drank The Moon, actually! Best of luck with your research!

@obrian-of-the-surface-world Haha, thank you for the warm welcome. I’ve actually been here since the day Story Embers was established (you can…[Read more]

@imwritehere1920 Ey, thanks so much for helping me tag some people! I usually don’t interact much here anymore, so I’m a bit out of touch with the community, haha…

Dystopian/fantasy is something that I’ve been thinking about lately, yeah! You mention wagons and trains; would this be more of a 19th century type of time period?

@writergirl101…[Read more]

@skylarynn Whoa, Hunters! That sounds cool! What makes someone a Hunter? Do they have to be born a certain way or can anyone be one?

Ey, I love little traditions! It’s really great worldbuilding, and makes the whole world feel more unique. What’s the favorite one that you have made so far?

@skylarynn

My WordPress site is the free version. I do not have a newsletter yet either. I am waiting until I finish my first novel before doing so. I am going the self-publishing route so that I own the work and a larger percentage of any return from it. I have pre-paid for it, so they are just waiting for the “finished” manuscript to begin…[Read more]

Hi Skylarynn,

I am intrigued and amused by this character of yours.  I would love to meet a villainous C-3PO with larcenous tendencies.

Which of your two WIP is he from, if either?
The Hunters of Monarch, Montana (working title)

A Syne of Marring (working title)

I love your story plans for these, by the way.  Do you have a w…[Read more]

@skylarynn,

Lemme know if you would like to read that.

How do I put this? YES!

@skylarynn,

Wow, that’s really complex and unique! I’m now intensely interested in your book. 😀

@skylarynn,

Most of the time she and I use it to talk across a room when we don’t want to gain attention or have other people understand.

Ha, my sister and I do the same thing!

If I’m painfully bored I’ll spell my thoughts out in the ASL alphabet until either I’m no longer bored or my hand cramps  .

Honestly, the alphabet is the best thing I c…[Read more]

@skylarynn,

 If y’all wanna know how/why Bren came back so quickly, I’m happy to share!

Ooh! *rubs hands together* Share away!

Nithel feels someone kneel in front of him, but he keeps his eyes shut. Just done.

He wants to cry, but he knew man didn’t do that. Not men. They shouldn’t. Not for themselves. At least… that was how Gabrel was. He trembles a bit, stifling whatever cries would come, trying to.

Then someone touches him. The touch kind and firm. Nithel presses…[Read more]

Somehow it reached through Nithel’s head the strange girl approaching Alessio. He stared at her a moment, wary. But when she stopped, seeming unaggressive, he looked back down. Truly sick.

@this-is-not-an-alien @irishcelticredflowercrow @joelle-stone @skylarynn @crazywriter @millennium

Alessio was talking, but Nithel didn’t understand. It was all a blur. Too many impossible things happening in the same hours, or was it days? His stomach was sick. Nothing, nothing made sense.

More speech. But the world was swirling. He felt sick. Raised from the dead. Fire. Dragon. Metal dragon. Lava. Moving rooms. People. Books. Mirror. Death.…[Read more]

Hey all, I am wondering if my posts are going through/you can see them. The site has been going crazy the last little while and I don’t know what works and what doesn’t.
