Is the Character Discussions sub-forum more for discussing the creation/development of characters or can I also post a loredump thread there (for a lack of a better term lol) and link to it for additional context if someone wanted to read more about whatever characters a story of mine features?

Oh, they're not shapeshifters. They're a fictional species of mine, called Borskall. They're based on bears and bison, though very stylized lol.

I don't stick to a single project. I just work on whatever I feel like the most at the time. I can't force myself to write; it's simply not happening. So I wait until I have the desire to do it. As for drafts, I more or less consider everything to always be non-final. I'm a huge perfectionist...

Love Elden Ring. I feel the message about mods screwing up saved games way too hard. I don't know how many campaigns in Total War: Warhammer III I've lost to updates and broken mods. 😭

Oh cool, I was looking for a thread for this.

Dust of Snow by Robert Frost: The way a crow Shook down on me The dust of snow From a hemlock tree Has given my heart A change of mood And saved some part Of a day I had rued. I love ravens and corvids, and this one is cute.

Welcome! I write for much similar reasons. It does wonders for mental health.

I briefly played trumpet in high school. I remember it giving me headaches lol. We were allowed to just play the piano that was at every desk if we were out of breath, at least. Here's two songs I like from Svartsot and Heidevolk for a taste. I'll happily blast them over battle scenes when I...

I'm guilty of procrastinating because I want to play some games instead of writing. And wires in my brain also keep crossing. I cannot listen to music while writing or I will want to go mess with MIDI stuff or play my violin, for example. At least it's exploitable. If I want to trick myself into...

I live there and never heard of that fact. I did spend most of my time in history class drawing dinosaurs on my pages instead of listening to the teacher, though. You can tell I still have that amazing awareness with how I managed to miss a post about my hometown right above my last one. One...

I'm French-Canadian and happy to answer any questions about the French language anyone might have. I encourage any Scandinavian friend to laugh and correct me over my characters/places' names if they feel like it.

For the longest time, I'd assumed the word "preen" could only be used for feathers and "groom" was for fur. I was told they can both be used interchangeably.

I did have the audacity of saying I have a parrot without paying the tax and sharing pictures of him. Allow me to redeem myself for this affront.

Thank you! Yeah, I've been pawing around, breaking the ice a little. Haha.

Right now, I have three projects going. The first and main one is The Frozen Forest, a story about an undead dragon entity named Drekar (whose name always gets me humming the Svartsot song of the same name) who preys not on flesh but on minds; his influence is so bad the entire forest he haunts...
