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]

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.

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]

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]

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]

Probably in reply to the announcement.

@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??

@hannahrenner @abrielle @kimlikesart

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

Name: Loray
Age: 15
Job: Court musician’s apprentice
Species: Human
Appearance: Fair complexion, wavy dark hair, green eyes. Has a thin build and is…[Read more]

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

@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]

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?!?!?!?

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

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]

Yay!! Yes I would😁

“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]

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]

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?

Ah-hem.

Well dear listeners,

It would seem…[Read more]

Hi, Abrielle!

I am Inkhorn (as my username and tag both state xP), and it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance though it is through the Internet.

I’m not sure how many people are still active since SE has been pretty dead lately, but since summer has started, it might kick up again.

I’ll tag some of the others from the…[Read more]

Ohel approached the desk, but stares at the books (if there are any) with stunned fascination, curiosity, and longing. He’ll touch them tenderly, hesitantly, like a mist that will vanish.

GRIMME

She looks down to see a child.

“Where can I use the restroom?” He is still tugging on her sleeve, eyes big, cheeks rosy.

She rubs the back of her neck. The kinky-coily hair rubs roughly against her hand.

This is … too many children. One, sure, she knew what to do. Three…[Read more]

Leana glanced toward him, cocking her head, before glancing at her father, who sat on the floor, looking at a young man. “I think… you need me more, right now.” She whispered, al…[Read more]

What’s your favourite thing about spring, Sarafini?

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

BURN

I twist my wrist free from Oscar. “Don’t touch me!”

Calm down. You’re overreacting. Just … breath.

Oscar very carefully puts his arms on my shoulders like I didn’t just tell him not to touch me. “It’s okay. You’re safe here.”

Grimme looks at my arm with brisk efficiency. I…[Read more]

LOL I’m gonna have to wait to tell until @this-is-not-an-alien gets to that episode. I already said my favorite character died! 😭😤

But for my top ten? Hughes. All of Team Mustang. The Elric brothers. Hohenheim. Ugh… The Armstrong siblings… Greed. Ling. Heheh. Help? I love almost all of them?!

How about this?…[Read more]

Alixer

“Well, Alessio, that’s your name right? It means you can move away, get a job, and live somewhere without your parents but you can’t make those choices yourself without someone signing off for you. If that makes sense. We are considered adults at 17 and we’re giving complete…[Read more]

How are you all doing today!
Do you have any plans for Resurrection Day? 😊

Nithel’s brows popped up on his forehead, and he glanced toward Leana just a moment, before looking back at Alixer.

“I’m 16 btw.” Alixer went on. “Not a kid or adult. In fact, at 10 you’re conside…[Read more]

“It basically means hero. I’ve been told that it means sacrificer. Why are you guys so afraid of a spider and what is with the kids running around. I’m 16 btw. Not a kid or adult. In fact, at 10 you’re considered independent in my country. But…[Read more]

I watch Grimme nearly puke as Alessio lets the spider. Crawl. On. His. Hand.

What the Abyss is this kid made of?

I hold out the jar.

Except.

He.

Drops.

It.

“I’m sorry!” He backs into … ya’know what? That’s Nithel. And everybody here is getting a tiny trinket. This is rid…[Read more]

Nithel chuckled nervously, still struggling not to fall off the couch. “It’s alright…” Not that I’d let my children talk to me this way…

Ohel snorted, in reply to Alessio, glowering down at Nithel. “Get up!”

“I d…[Read more]

@this-is-not-an-alien Thanks for taking the time to send all those!

“Stupid princess,” he murmured. And… it honestly hurt worse than her hand.

You don’t… have to remain a snake… Leana pressed her eyes shut, and sucked in a long breath. But do you want to? Really? She’d never considered there were those… who truly wanted to be…[Read more]

“What do you care what I do!? Just-get away from me!” Nathair growled, floundering in his corner, as if he wanted to escape, but eventually wrapped his arms around himself. “Leave me alone, you’r…[Read more]

Ohel glowered when Alessio tried to shield him from these people and cover his words. If those words were disrespectful, yeah, I meant them. Ohel was about to shove Alessio away but the boy already…[Read more]

Yay! So many new faces! You’re a hugger?!? I love those people! <3 I always feel so awkward around my friends because I never know if they’re huggers unless they hug me 1st (They probably feel the same way). Lol. Anyway, good to meet you. Stumbles back as she hugs back

Um, besides writing, I read, play video games, play…[Read more]

I’ll tag some people I know!  I’m not sure how many will respond (since the forum has been pretty quiet) but I’d love for you to get to know some people here &l…[Read more]

Arsene was about to say something, when Sage walked up to the two new adults.

He looked up at them with the widest of eyes and asked in the tiniest voice, “Do you know where my parents are?”

Arsene could not let him know. Not yet. Not like this. Before either of the new people could say anything, Sage…[Read more]

Nithel looked toward Nathair, recognition dawning. He didn’t want to let her go near him, but… Nathair looked like a lost boy, now. The Star Breather loves him. Perhaps… you were placed here to…[Read more]

SCENE SETTING – [You arrive in Consul Oscar Woodwall’s living room.]

The room is richly furnished and professionally designed. It’s quite large – could comfortably hold a little over twenty people. The walls are emerald green and the pillars are stark white.

Things swirled before he thudded on the ground. The boy scrambled free. Nithel groaned, lightly, before lifting his head. Kids were sprawled in a cluster around him, with any number of strange emotions crossing their faces. His gaze…[Read more]
