i'm new to the writers' abode!

you can call me: Sabe
my pronouns are: She/her
here's a bit about me/ my writing journey: I just always liked making up stories, but especially the world building part of it, when i was 11 i started writing my first story/book for and about my friends at the time but never finished it. During the lockdown i started writing and publishing fanfiction, i have a full oneshot published and never finished my main fanfic because I lost interest in the fandom and stopped writing all together due to mental health reasons. About half a year ago I started working on an original idea i had years back and I've been working on that ever since and plan on publishing it when I'm done! I mostly write fantasy and more on the darker side. I also write a lot of poems, mostly related to mental health and partially as a coping mechanism.

im so sorry this took so long to respond !! <3

Warrior Cats Story:
Ah, what happens when they get his kits back (because they will)? Well...spoilers I guess, but Hyacinthdrop actually dies saving Arcticflight and his kits. Arcticflight goes back to his Clan, WinterClan, but is always sad and guilty afterward.
Wolfstorm and Cobwebdew stay behind and start raising a family together. The next book is actually about Arcticflight's kits and Wolfstorm and Cobwebdew's kits.

asdfgghjkllll
RIP to hyacinthdrop but a death to a noble cause is so nice <3 i actually love love LOVE the idea of their kits being the MC's of the next book, asdfhlk ive never gotten into warriors but all of this sounds so intriguing :> i love me a well-drawn story, and this sounds awesome :>

Supernatural Story:
I actually have a drawing I made of Atropos!

AAAAA BRO HE LOOKS SO COOL
im a fool for the tattoos/writing on his skin :> i'd loooove to know if you've got any ideas out yet about what the writing means ? if it has any special meaning or power connected to it? :> alsdkfjsldjf i love his character design

I don't have drawings of the others (I don't like drawing humans), but here's a quick rundown of their appearances. They all look like humans btw. In case that wasn't obvious.
Death, when she doesn't have her cloak, is dark-skinned with wild black hair.
Destiny has lighter skin and very short gray hair, typically wears a sweater and trousers, and golden glasses.
Prophecy has bright orange hair in a bun, a dress like water ripples, silvery-gray tights, and brown boots with green laces. Her skin is middle-toned.
Terry is dark-skinned, with chin-length dreadlocks that are dyed sky-blue at the ends.
Abel has middle-toned skin and shaggy light brown hair.
Karina is dark-skinned and has long, bleached blond hair.
Ines is middle-toned, with an eyepatch, and long black dreadlocks.

askdjfhlsakjdflksadhfkjsaf freaking out still over prophecy's character design (honestly all of them ??? but i love prophecy the most so far) she seems SO COOL, id love love loooove to eventually see some concept art of her :>

Anyway...
Karina and Abel do bond with Terry. Death comes down and starts fighting with Ines, and they both fall off of the boat they're currently on. Luckily, Ines is good friends with mermaids, and the mermaids bring them both to a tiny, nearby island (Death can't drown, but the mermaids figured that she wouldn't like to be stuck in the ocean). Meanwhile, Karina and Abel ask Destiny if she wants them to release the prisoners and Destiny's like, "Yeah, duh." So now they're all on the boat, and the other vampires are wondering what to do now, now that their leader is gone.
I'm gonna leave it at that for now.

Thank you so much!! <3 I'm working on both, though more on the deity story because I've put more work into the Warrior Cats one.

UGH i love the plot of both of your stories.
im excited to hear where you take the supernatural story after this >:)
i can definitely tell you've fleshed out the whole plot of the warriors story >:) looks like youve got at LEAST the first book planned out :> thats awesome !!

i'm new to the writers' abode!

you can call me: Aloise
my pronouns are: he/him
here's a bit about me/ my writing journey: I've been a fan on writing for a long time. When I was younger, I was more into writing novels. Back in 2014, I did write 283 pages my novel. It wasn't that great. The story literally changed in the middle of it. I was very proud of it hahaha. I am currently working on making that old novel a comic! The story has changed alot since 2014. Most of the main characters are the same though! I have two main storylines currently. One is from 2013 and the comic one is from 2014. I have two characters that I have a story idea for but not much.
anything else? Hi Ten! Looking forward to this thread

ALOIIIIISE YIPPEEE YOU HAVE ARRIVED
LOL
we've already yapped so much about your comic >:) but if you feel like sharing anything about it here, or bouncing ideas around, that's what we're here for :>>>>

welcome, sabe, to our little abode!!

i ALSO started writing around 11/12! and haha, my first story/book was ALSO for/about my friend (my sister tho ngl, shes always been my best friend), and i ALSO never finished it.
aaaaa ! an entire one-shot published is AWESOME, dude, and will be great as a portfolio piece if you ever decide to publish more :> i used to write and read fanfics like crazy on wattpad and ao3, but never finished anything i tried to wrtie bc i lost interest.

i'd love to hear if theres anything youd like to share about your current idea, esp world-building-wide or character design because i am a huge freak for those aspects >:)
my poems will never see the light of day bc i also use poems as a coping mechanism 99% of the time.

welcome to our abode ! im excited to hear more about you and your ideas!! :>

[tenor]

i'm so happy that there's been so many writers coming into our little abode :>
no worries if you don't wanna post too much, or at all!
this thread is primarily just here to randomly yap when we feel like it about our ideas :>

i'm starting 'questions of the day/week'!

it'll give us a chance to geek out over each other's stories or interests!
i'll be posting all responses on the front page to keep tabs.
(soon i'll get around to making a table of contents to make perusing the forum easier)

Code: Select all

[b]what's your favorite character you've created thus far, and why?[/b]

(answer here)

i'll start us off hehe

what's your favorite character you've created thus far, and why?

of course it's ten (tenor). 1 2 3
he's my foil, physically, and i created him in 2012.
black hair, red eyes. just a scrawny kid, a lover, a romantic.
he's gone through plenty of phases, and his name is similar to my irl name, so he's stuck by me.
he was my first human character i ever created.
he's also my main pov in my current novel series!
he's always been an orphan trying to find who he is regardless of what others say to/about him.
love my boy :>

what's your favorite character you've created thus far, and why?

My favorite oc is named Abraham Taylor! He is one of the characters in my comic. He was created in 2016. Despite being created eight years ago, he is the newest main character in my comic! Originally, I’d call him “Abraham” but he has slowly just become to be known as “Abe”. Abe has a lot of trauma. Despite that, he still has a positive outlook on life and tries his best to understand those around him. I really like that part of him. A lot of my characters are more pessimistic. I also do like to head canon him as being trans, ftm! It can’t be officially canon but I do think his gender can be debated. I think it’s interesting how over time, his design changed just a little. His hair has slowly gotten more fluffy over the years.

I will add a photo of him tomorrow. I am currently on mobile.

what's your favorite character you've created thus far, and why?

Ooo, I've made too many

One of my current favourites is Charlie, son of the Cheshire Cat. Currently he doesn't have a book cause copyright and all that.
But anyway, as the name suggests, he is a son of the Cheshire Cat. He's based off the song We're All Mad Here by S. J. Tucker (great song, go listen) and he's mostly anthropomorphic. His entire right side is tabby striped and the other side is spotted. He is able to do the thins his father can do, such as float, turn invisible, shapeshift, etc.

plz don't put on front page :}

Ahhhhh picking favorites is so hard -_-
I'm going to have to say Sebastian, partly just because I've been working on his story more recently but also because he's so fun to write. He is a morally gray, slightly snobby, handsome-but-slightly-psychotic type in my post-apocalypse novel. His parents raised him in a very unique way which makes him a little quirky / gives him a bizarre understanding of love. Someone needs to give him a hug :')

heheheheee its been so fun reading up on all of your favorite characters !! i love how much y'all've fleshed out their designs >:)))

>:))) excited to see a photo of abe ! and you COULD, if you wanted, with that 'can't canonically be trans', you could just make it to where his gender is questioned by the readers/other characters :> ive read lots of comics/books and watched obviously a TON of anime where the character genders are basically up in the air, and i kinda love it >:) but abe sounds so awesome >:)) it'll be nice to have an optimistic fella around in the story :>>

SON OF THE CHESHIRE CAT? LETS GOOOO THATS SO COOL
i just did a listen of S.J. Tucker's song and i'm actually a fool for it, its SO COOL. i would love to hear if you've written any one-shots or anything with charlie ! this is such a neat idea >:) even if you can't publish it, lol! i love oc's that are branches out from other well-known characters, and i've never considered doing that w cheshire! and charlie being anthropomorphic, gosh ! i'd love to see some art done of this kid :>

Hi hi!
There's a lot to tell, though it has adult themes and some stuff that's not suited for the forum so I can't tell here (more towards the violence side)
it's a dystopian vampire world, I've basically rewritten history since just before the industrial revolution. I've also made my own spin on vampire lore and what kind of creatures they are.
I use the notes app obsidian for everything, I highly recommend it, it's really easy to make different pages and short cuts to other pages to really store all your lore and characters.
And same xD though I have been thinking of publishing a poetry book in the future with the less personal ones together with water colour drawings.

Hope it's okay if I chime in here -

This sounds awesome, vampires + rewritten history?! Plus original lore & spins like that are so fun, they can bring so much life to an old trope. I am excited to hear more about it if there's stuff you are able/wanting to share here!

Also thank you so much for the Obsidian recommendation!!!! This app is fantastic, it looks like it's gonna work so well with my crazy brain / wild plotting strategies!! <3 ty ty!

Yes! This is what I meant by " It can’t be officially canon but I do think his gender can be debated" It does get mentioned a little by other characters. It is not viewed as very important. I do have some worries that people will get annoyed with me for that. I don't think he truly needs a label and it isn't really a concern for the other characters. There are more pressing issues to them. His gender can be viewed as how readers would like. He doesn't actually have a canon gender identity. To the other characters, he is just Abe. That doesn't change.
