    The temporary rotation change is perfect. I'm doing Camp NaNoWriMo this month and could probably balance the two without issue but wasn't sure I wanted to try lol. Saran will be a great addition to the story! +1 on having her meet Shan first. Also love her being a motherly figure for him. Boy...

    We'd love to have you! The official decision will have to wait for Louanne, but it wouldn't hurt to go ahead and start developing your character/s.

    Converting a Fanfic to an Original Work?

    Came here to use the fancy "shave off the serial numbers" phrase I've seen thrown around, but you already did that? It sounds to me like this is all in your head, honestly. You've changed everything you need to about the characters except the way you view them. The story's going to feel like a...

    Gotta keep on keeping on. @Username: required, are you still interested? Want to go next?

    “I haven't–” Tala stopped short as she remembered what Tobias Locke said to her in the cave. She followed him here. It was him who beckoned her. Responding to his call started this mess. She didn't want to believe it, but what if it was true? Tala looked down to Cedarheart in her arms and...

    Ooh, he's cool. I also like the idea of him being affiliated with Locke somehow. Would the Immortal Brothers of the Mountain ignore such a malfunction, though? Zǐhuǒ could be connected to both. It'd give the Brothers another reason to get involved with everything, too. That can technically...

    No, don't worry! You can injure him if you want, though. I'd like to think there's another nonviolent way to stop the lion someone came up with while Shaohua worked to calm it down. I feel like fighting a Guardian Spirit wouldn't be a good idea, you know? But, hey, whatever happens, happens.

    My post is finally up! Sorry it took so long! I'm not entirely satisfied with it, but I managed to accomplish everything I wanted. This is what I made Shaohua for! It feels nice to finally make good use of him. Excited to see where @Whiskii takes us!

    The air was unbearable. Pressure overwhelmed all five senses—no, that was blood on his tongue and grime in his windpipe. The tension came from elsewhere. Everywhere. A compound of agonizing, suffocating energies. The change in temperature. Decreased air supply. Slow, heavy footsteps that circled...

    I'm sorry for the delay! I'm having a bit of trouble getting to where I want to go. The words do not want to word. If not later today, my entry will be up sometime tomorrow.

    Oops, seem to have missed it. I'm of the same opinion. I knew Jiàn was main character material halfway through first reading her character profile, and Rennie's proven himself important the past several entries. Their respective arcs seem to have the most to offer, though I'm also excited for...

    Absolutely love the idea of an immortal emperor choosing to play with his toys over ruling the country he created. Him still being alive opens up some fun opportunities, too. He could act as a guiding force for our characters, or perhaps another layer of opposition. It'll be cool to connect his...

    Their path wound off the dirt trail and through the shallow remainder of the forestry in a sequence that almost felt senseless. Min and Jiàn walked directly behind Bertrand and his clockwork canine, Jiàn's gaze pointed and hand rested against the hilt of her sword. Daiyu took to the middle...
