I’M ALL FOR THE BETA-READS BRING THEM ON!!!!!!!!!!!

Yayy!!! *Puts you on the list for a future draft*

@calidris

What’s the current character limit in here?  I have a couple of characters I want to develop more, but I’m not ready to pull Misu out quite yet…

It’s cool! I don’t know how many characters we’re at but I don’t ca…[Read more]

“…traumatically horrific-existential-crisis-in-a-box with a side of a malevolent menagerie?”

Peace settled over Jericho.  Peace she’d not had in a long time.  With a faint smile she began to fade away, gently laying a hand on Alessio’s shoulder to assuage as much of his anxiety as she could before she vanished.  And then she was gone.…[Read more]

Alessio was so. Done. With this.
And now the new girl had decided to be threatening and rude. Buuut. She was still on the other side of the cage.
“Get your weapon, Dom,” She snapped at–apparently–Dom, and they drew swords, naturally. So Alessio kinda sardonically backed a reasonable distance from the cage with the keys still in hand. Nithel would’v…[Read more]

@skylarynn

Ack! My bad *facepalms on desk which is conveniently in front of my face enough I can tell it’s a desk 😂😂*

Exhibit A of Bren’s light hair and eyes:

@this-is-not-an-alien

Brendin has a kinda rugged appearance and dark hair and brown eyes that turn gold when his power is activated and Jericho dresses kinda like a female Obi-Wan and has brown hair and dark eyes,

Where are you getting all the dark hair and dark eyes from!?  Brendin has very pale strawberry-blonde/red hair and pale grey-blue eyes…[Read more]

Evie stared in horror at the dude who was literally about to let the wolf out.

Why? Why would he do this???

Evie snapped her knives back into their sheaths and drew her sword, wishing for perhaps the first time in her life that she could actually shoot a bow – and that she had one with her.

No matter.

She’d take the wolf out on her steel…[Read more]

You did great Denali!!

Oh, and now I have to remember what Malvat looks like. Whelp, in dragon form he’s HUGE (like Smaug size), with ebony scales, silver horns like a crown on his head, and silver eyes. His wings are both black, but his talons are silver. In human form, he kinda looks like Thranduil from the hobbit with his same dragon horns,…[Read more]

Oh thank you!! 😂❤️At the end of it I was kinda like “dang all our characters actually did all that here, huh…”

Oh that’ll be fun!! (*assuming Alessio ever works up the nerve to actually say more than two words to Bren…*) Bren’s been a really interesting character to read about!!!
Oooh bring him in!!!!!

Ahhh see all our characters…[Read more]

Lupa shrugged her front biceps not at all reassuringly, but she then seemed to get some sort of confirmation from the wolf before she nodded to him and motioned insistently at the keys. Alessio let out a low measured breath. Normally he’d be able to tell whether someone was lying or not, but reading the emotional subtext of animal’s bod…[Read more]

@denali-christiansen

YES! I think I know what you’re talking about! Which was your favorite level? I got all choked up coming onto the Ark, too. It was so unreal, and so amazing and awesome! I think it should make it into a 7 Wonders of the Modern world list.

@rose-colored-fancy

That sounds like a good idea for Acyn. 🙂 Thanks for the info on…[Read more]

Lupa shrugged at Alessio as much as a wolf could and glanced at the giant wolf who huffed, reluctantly agreeing not to eat anyone.

Turning back to Alessio, Lupa nodded and pointed her muzzle back to the keys.

@this-is-not-an-alien

@emily-waldorf lol Misu’s had too deal with all sorts of people so I think he’ll be fine!  I’m really looking forward to these interactions too, but fair warning – I don’t know how much longer he’s going to be in here 🙁  I have some other characters that I’m wanting to develop, but I don’t plan on pulling him out anytime soon, so we’re good for n…[Read more]

@irishcelticredflowercrown

*rubs hands in anticipation*

Let’s do this!

Evie cracked her eyes open, shaking her head against the pounding pain. That last portal experiment had clearly not gone as planned.

She felt at her belt for her knives and sighed with relief when the hilt of her dagger slipped into her hand. Her sword was still strapped across her back.

She rubbed her eyes and groaned. She officially hated p…[Read more]

Thanks my friends I’m not confused anymore (that was a lie) XD

So I’m going to go post on the other thread and then hope I don’t mess up too bad…

@taylorclogston

Thank you so much, this was super helpful! I hadn’t really ever heard of the genre of ‘spy fiction’. You’re right, I have no point of divergence from real world events because even though this is an obscure part of the real world in my brain, that’s never really presented in the story. I think I’m going to call it a spy fiction…[Read more]

@rusted-knight Even if that historical event has nothing to do with the real world history? The events in this book and the events that trigger a change in leadership in the country are not from the real-world at all. I’m not even taking a real world event like World War II and changing it to see what would have happened if we lost. (which…[Read more]

@denali-christianson

Aww I’m happy to hear that! I think Niarok and Lorcan are going to have a very interesting dynamic. This will be fun.

@rose-colored-fancy

Glad to hear that you had revelations about Acyn! I love when that happens. I actually had a simply wonderful new revelation about Lorcan – and that led to the creation of two new…[Read more]

In the Fantasy Writers forum, there’s two threads for this stuff.  The Character Castle thread we are currently writing on, where we discuss characters and future ideas and also just chat generally, and the actual Fantasy Character Castle Chronicles no.1 where we write the story about the characters.
