Oh!! Yes it does!! Thanks for tagging me @e-b-raulands

So I’m not sure I can point you towards any specific books, but the Star Wars Expanded Universe/Star Wars Legends books… like half of those take place after the Return of the Jedi. So… the X-Wing series, it’s after Return of the Jedi, and they’re trying to retake…[Read more]

@steward-of-the-pen If you look at it the right way, technically Harry Potter is set after the ‘defeat’ of evil (only to discover that it wasn’t in fact defeated entirely at all). Other than that, nothing specifically comes to mind.

While I can’t think of many fictional examples, it might be a good idea to take a close look at the aftermath of…[Read more]

Yay! I was going to write something today if nothing else had appeared, but this is looking fabulous!

Everyone else? Please jump in and edit at your…[Read more]

Hey, guys! What’d I miss? *checks page* Oh, yikes, I’m late in the game. Seems we all are. When do we need to have this thing written? Doesn’t look like we’ve even decided on a final storyline! We might need some Penrose intervention, here.

If I may provide an example of…[Read more]

We probably ought to decide on something in the next day or two so we can move towards writing a draft. What options are you all leaning towards?

I think we should do a young child’s conversion because that’s the option we’ve talked about the most.

@silverclaw-bonnetfolly I like the first idea, but I could only see us writing a scene where the character is reading out of the Bible and has a lot of internal dialogue about the content of the verses. While it could still work, I’m not sure if it’s interesting enough.

@writercatherine Those are some great ideas! The thing about the fourth one…[Read more]

@j-a-penrose @evelyn @julia @ariella-newheart @rebecca-w @steward-of-the-pen @trufflehunter

Well, here are some options, I guess.

• A gentle (or very not gentle!) character whose heart is touched by God
• A stubborn character that watches someone martyred for their faith and wants to have the same humility & strength as them.
• A proud character…

One of the things that’s coming to my mind regarding stakes, it that ultimately, the stakes are as high as they can get already. The quiet moment of handing over your life to God when you’ve grown up in a Christian home but have only just truly felt that overwhelming peace, as well as his majesty, is just as powerful as someone who surrenders to…[Read more]

@trufflehunter @steward-of-the-pen Ooh, my story is like yours, too. I grew up in a Christian home and can’t exactly remember when I got saved because I was so young. I rededicated my life to Christ several years ago and haven’t looked back since. 🙂

@rebecca-w

I agree that it should have stakes (beyond the obvious stake inherent in conversion).…

@j-a-penrose *gives you coffee* *hopes you like coffee because there’s controversy on that subject* I totally relate; I guess we’ll have to push onward together 😛

Woo-wie! This is a toughie! I’ve never written this sort of thing before. We should make it very emotional. Like, life or death maybe? My immediate thoughts are that we need to give…[Read more]

@steward-of-the-pen Thanks for all you’ve been able to do! Good luck with everything else on your plate.

@steward-of-the-pen So sorry for taking all this time to get back to you!

So, uh, I wasn’t really aware there was any symbolism, foreshadowing, or depth to the story, but I’m really glad it comes across that way =P

Would you mind pointing out where you’re seeing foreshadowing? Aside from that, this was good feedback, especially about my n…[Read more]

AHHHH I’VE BEEN GONE SO LONG SORRY GUYSSS!!!!

Yay! I’m gonna go read the finished product in a sec. I’m sure we’ll win!!!!

@steward-of-the-pen Lol you’re welcome! I have lot’s of random prompts floating around in my brain, so I’m glad you liked one!!
