Hi @caledris,

I just wanted to let some of y’all (Texas slang for “you guys and gals”) that Kaytlin Philips has a pretty good monitored Forum type blog site at:
https://www.writers-vision.com/

…if any of you want to try signing up there (yes, it’s free too).

They have writing games and contests, challenges, and writing topics too.

Spread the…[Read more]

@this-is-not-an-alien Thank you!!

Also, everyone: I’m hoping to start a Character Castle 2.0 on this Christian writer’s site, if I get enough people from SE interested.

Kianda

The climb up the ladder did not last long. Kianda felt a draft of warm air curling around her, and then she was pulling herself up into a pitch black room where the strange music reverberated off the walls.

Over the music, a deep, slightly familiar voice growled, “By all four Dragons and eighteen Winds, not this again.”

“Goya?” she…[Read more]

@reveriewriter … and @everyone?

My little sister @this-is-not-an-alien set this up. It’s barely up at the moment, but it’s supposed to be this character castle continued. Well, rebooted, since we were doing that anyway. If you want to – no pressure!

As soon as the door clicked shut, Loray was made aware of faint music that was playing somewhere off in the distance. How large was this room? Clearly it was bigger than she’d assumed, but surrounded by the darkness it was impossible to tell.

Nevertheless, Loray’s cur…[Read more]

Heeyyy! Late is the order of the day, it seems. I had good intentions of replying right away, but events conspired against me and here I am, two days later.

The sand in the Ring would be hot tomorrow, but for now, the air outside was bitingly cold as always. Kianda reveled in the fierce wind, hardly noticing that the metal beneath her was so…[Read more]

@this-is-not-an-alien

Probably in reply to the announcement.

@this-is-not-an-alien @abrielle

@hannahrenner

I saw a suggestion in the comments of the announcement about having members of the forum moderate it instead of the site team. Maybe they’d consider doing that with enough feedback from all of us??

@ragnarok @this-is-not-an-alien

@hannahrenner @abrielle @kimlikesart

(Crashes in unfashionably late) Sorry for the delay all! Had a hard time deciding who to drop in here :p

@this-is-not-an-alien @hannahrenner @abrielle

I just saw it ;-: I can’t believe they’re closing it!! And when I’d just joined too 🙁 Why??????????????????????

*frantically copying and pasting the entire thread*

@this-is-not-an-alien

I am crying vicariously through your crying emojis. They just about sum up the situation. Though it’s too bad there isn’t an angry sobbing emoji. We need about fifty of those.

You have a website? That’s pretty cool! I’m totally up for relocating, but I don’t currently…[Read more]

@abrielle, @ragnarok, @this-is-not-an-alien, @kimlikesart, @reveriewriter

Can I cuss now? In protest? Because I am very upset! 😠 😡 😭 😢

Okay, I won’t actually cuss ’cause I’m actually getting better (small wins) but what the heck?!?!?! Why?!?!?!?

Hey, did you guys see the forum announcement?

@ragnarok, @hannahrenner, @this-is-not-an-alien, @kimlikesart, @reveriewriter

@hannahrenner

No problem! You should see how bad I am about answering emails🙃.

Kianda

The fact that people kept tumbling out of thin air should not have been terribly surprising to Kianda, considering the circumstances. It certainly put her on edge though. Beside her, Goya cursed and whirled to face the newcomers. If things kept on in this…[Read more]

@this-is-not-an-alien

Yay!! Yes I would😁

Goya cursed as he tumbled into the void, struggling with all his might against the hands that grasped his wrists. Then the darkness spat them all out again, and Goya landed hard on something that squirmed.

“Ow,” it said.

In a flash, Goya was on his feet again. Ignoring the boy he’d nearly crushed, he looked around to see the kid from earlier…[Read more]

@this-is-not-an-alien

Thanks for the rundown! *Awkwardly returns hug*

As Goya walked through the opening, he heard a hissing, slithering sound from behind. Spinning, he found that the moss had grown over the opening until there was no way back. He felt a brief pang of apprehension, and it occurred to him to wonder whether the Wind was not…[Read more]

Wow. It’s been a while. @sarafini @ragnarok @kimlikesart @this-is-not-an-alien

Is this just me and my siblings? Because BOOOO! I talk to them all day! I want a new victim friend to interact with?

Hello

Anyone?

Helloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Ah-hem.

Well dear listeners,

It would seem…[Read more]
