1. Each person is picking which experiments their charries undergo.

2. Because they want to see if these experiments actually work so they’re kidnapping people to use as test subjects.

3. I don’t think they’re working for anyone in particular.

4. I’d assume so, yes.

5. See answer to question 2.

How’s the Flabbit Room been? Are there any other Flabbits here?

@evelyn and @trufflehunter Yep, PoYD is pretty great. I might have liked The Deeps of the Dragon King just a smidge better (the guilt! the redemption! the sea dragons!), but it’s a close…[Read more]

It was just so good! Then, like @trufflehunter, The Prince of Yorsha Doon came second. Then the ballad third. (:

Yep! They really are doing it!

The “Bright Woe of Hadrell and Simi” bit? I wrote what I considered the backstory for it. If y’all want to read it I could start a thread for it, I don’t want to clog up this one 😉

I thought it was pretty awesome. I laughed the hardest at Sophelia Stupe…[Read more]

I mean, what if they’re extroverts? What if there’s more than two of them?

If we haven’t started on a draft in 24 hours, I’m probably just going to start writing. Just so that we definitely have something to hand in. *fingerguns* Ideally, I let you guys write the first draft so that you can practice and grow, but having something happening is the no. 1 priority.

I love his cat poem. xD It’s amazing.

T.S. Eliot’s cat poems? I will have to read them.

I’ve slowed down in writing that style, but last year I was cranking them out rapidly. My little sister inspired a lot of them. (:

Have you read any poems by Shel Silverstein?
