Hey, I’ve been kind of missing around here for a couple of weeks, but a late welcome to you new people! @april-j-rhys @being-crazy-is-not-all-bad Apologies if someone already asked this, but what are your favorite book series?

(Alas, we are no longer the only guild with two words in its name… *glances at New Wessex and Camp Artifex*)

Oop, sorry I missed this! Hopefully I can catch the next one!

Hmm, the form was still open, so I submitted the words I wrote last week. (Though I didn’t know one was going on when I wrote them.) Hopefully it still counts! 🙂 @j-a-penrose

Sorry I left y’all hanging! I’ll go peek at what you wrote! Do we have results yet? @j-a-penrose

I’m always so excited when I make a suggestion that makes it to the final product! Like on the guild wars on here. I’m always proud when I read the final product and it has a line from me in it. XD My only other beta reading experience is with two writing friends. I tend to be better at spotting little things than big things, though.

Well, here are some options, I guess.

One believable thing that could be put at stake is family members. It’s a sad truth that many parents will reject their children if they change religions.

Hi!

Someone I know would argue about the faith with the man she was dating. He eventually convinced her of the truth. She became a member of the church soon after they were married. They’ve been married a long time and have four children now, but whenever I see them together they seem to be as deeply in love as when they first…[Read more]

@j-a-penrose Subscribed to the general Announcements section and Parami Alca’s Announcements and Annual Theme Discussion. 🙂 Those updates sound great!

Man, we need an award for most honorable mentions or something!

Tsk, took you long enough @steward-of-the-pen! I’ve been refreshing the page for, like, 10 minutes! XD

I think we’ve pretty much marked up the whole document at this point, haha! So as soon as our guildmaster comes through and resolves the edits, we’ll be in good shape.

Good job, everyone!

I haven’t been able to check this out yet due to many things, not the least of which is having the flu, but I’m here now and I’ll do my best to help out (though this seems to have died). We need to have this finished by tomorrow afternoon-evening, right?

@coggleton Right! Good points.

@j-a-penrose

I’ve heard that one way to naturally insert flaws (and probably good traits too) into a character is just to take one of their personality traits to the extreme.

So, if you have a character that’s a natural leader, you could take that to never letting anyone else take charge or not even listening to others’ opinions. If your…[Read more]

@taylorclogsten Ha! A missed opportunity indeed!

@j-a-penrose Cool, thanks!

@evelyn Oh, it’s no big deal! I’m just trying to let people know. Thanks. 🙂
