They've been alright c: I'm writing a lot for camp nano (by my standards, anyway) and I made a cake yesterday! On the other hand, I'm bad at being in once place for long, so I'm slightly climbing the walls. Oh well. You?

That's awesome! What project/projects are you working on for NaNo? Oof. Sorry to hear that. I've been taking short walks or bouncing on our new indoor trampoline. Also a whole, whole lot of art. Yesterday I tried to work out how to rig my phone camera to do some traditional art streams and it worked, so that's cool. Otherwise I've been reading a bit here and there.

*counts on fingers* Our collab, Butterflies and Hurricanes, an original story I started because worldbuilding, the potluck oneshot that's way longer than I expected. Idk, nano's easier for me when I can sot between projects.
That's really cool! I've never looked into streaming, was it simple to do?
With you on the reading. I may or may not be rereading the new prophecy for nostalgia reasons.

I may or may not be rereading the new prophecy for nostalgia reasons. Wow. I thought I forgot to reply, but I must have accidentally marked this as unread. I was working on Land Which Stands Divided, my comic, and our collab. It wasn't half bad! It worked, at the very least. Heeeeeeeeh heh! Good job! Also, now I'm mildly out of school for the semester, I need to go work out what chapter I left off on.

No worries x'D
That sounds really cool! Are you happy with how it all went?
Good!
Ah, nice! (At least I hope that's a good thing.) I'll look forward to seeing the results of that, then!

Well, I could have stood getting further, but I got further than I've gotten in previous Camps!
Yes! It is good! I've gotten a lot further in your fic - I'm honestly surprised I was so far behind! But I've already cleared the distance pretty nice in the past two days, including the reread I did of two chapters!

Congrats! A personal record is nothing to be sniffed at cx Nice Ooh, what chapter are you on? Also, are you the person who likes Rachel Caine? Because I just got hold of Ink and Bone from the library.

It is not! Now to get out of the burn-out!
About Chapter 14. XD I feel I owe you daily exclamation updates.
Oh ho ho! I am indeed! I have never read Ink and Bone, though I want to. I am completely ingrained in Morganville and keep forgetting other series exist. Gotta read Honor Bound though, that's on the list. So is Ink and Bone.

Burn-out's the worst. Good luck with that! (It's always funny because the last day of camp, I feel like I could keep writing forever. And then as soon as I update the word count past my goal, my brain goes nope >.<) Nice, nice! ...What do you think of The Reveal so far? Don't make them if you're busy, but I would very much enjoy exclamation updates I'm about a third of the way into Ink and Bone and I'd definitely recommend it. The steampunk-y setting is so cool! I'll have to look into Honor Bound and Morganville too.

I did fan art. Remind me to post it tomorrow. XD
Right? That's exactly how it goes. So I'm slowly coming out of that, thank goodness. Same with my aversion to editing. @.@
Oooo! So, okay, I knew what Sol could do, because I've read other comments here, but when it happened I was so hyped. It was carried out so well and I love Sol as a character. Really, all the characters honestly. I will be doing the exclimation update, mark my words!
Indeed! Rachel Caine is a good author and now I do really need to read Ink and Bones, because steampunk-y setting is something I've been desiring lately.

Mint that art's amazing thank you so much!! That looks exactly how I imagine that scene to be xD Ah yes, editing's a thing, isn't it? Thank youuu! I'm glad to hear that the reveal stood up even when you knew what it was. And that you like Sol Then I definitely recommend it! Also a lot of alchemy cx

Apparently I've substituted actual art for backs of old note cards. I have ... so many. Editing is a thing. I have another little editing thing I have to do. Also check in on your comments. Sol is awesome. Yooooooooou can tell Rachel Caine has an interest. Alchemy is in the MV series too. Play by play to the chapter break in Chapter 14: - Oh look, Ivypaw is still sass incarnate. I'm pleased that she still seems like a brat but isn't actually annoying to read about. -Describing branches of trees like twoleg cages makes me curious to know how familiar with twolegs Ivypaw is. -I love Holly. I love the fact they get to interact so much here. -I also like that more attention is payed to Ivypaw's injuries. -Like the forest details, love the forest details. -Also like Brightheart mentions. -I need to know what is up with Sol. I do not trust him, but I want to see more of him. I have mixed feelings. I love having mixed feelings.

That's very resourceful of you xD Is this notes you don't need anymore or motivation to look at notes you do need? It is a thing that never ends. I may have got carried away with those comments, sorry. Sol is great! Honestly half my motivation for this fic was "Sol deserves way more screen time and character depth" Ooh, is it? I don't blame her, alchemy is very fun. Play-by-play? I'm honoured Ivypaw is such a brat! I enjoy writing bratty characters, maybe that shines though? Cloudtail told her. Probably That is the other reason I wrote the fic the way it is. Brightheart is the best! There will definitely be more Sol! So, so much more Sol... Now I'm having flashbacks to writing the chapter on a college pc instead of working on my personal statement. Fun times.

Notes I don't need anymore! Also a ton of blank note cards, ha ha.
No sorries! More you put, better the story is!
GOOD! That is good motivation!
I don't blame her either as I write a story about an alchemist.
I love this story, honestly. :')

The artistic equivalent of burning your old notes xD
True! But the more reading you have to do...
I'm glad you think so!
I did wonder if that was why you were inspired to write about an alchemist. How's the Arthur story going by the way?
Thank you so much!!

YES! I do not need nor want the notes, but I will draw on the back of them.
It's fun to read though.
Maybe just a little. XD Honestly, I think it was Michael Scott. I really enjoy his series. It's going well! I've gotten it very well plotted for now, I just have to get it written.
How are you doing?

And make boring things into interesting and pretty things! My notes usually pick up doodles long before I'm done with them, whoopsHopefully! I gave you more to read through c: True! The Nicholas Flamel series is excellent (and I'm like 90% sure we've already yelled to each other about it )That's really good! If you've got a solid plot, that's half the battle I've been alright. I've finished the first two Great Library books, and now I have to work out how to request my library to get the third on ebook. And I baked a burnt but very edible cake yesterday. You?

Here here! I rarely doodle, because they tend to just turn into full pictures. XD
Yessss! I can hopefully look through it on the drive or maybe while I'm on my little trip!
We have indeed screamed, but I don't remember how much. How dare did you read? It is indeed! I also have cried over it several times.
Ooooo! Congrats! That's awesome! Lots of reading. I'm reading all over the place, but really the last couple days have just been mod stuff, while also catching up on RP replies.

I'm the opposite xD I mostly just doodle, but I doodle a *lot*
Awesome! Hope your trip goes well c:
The first two books! We screamed a lot about how John Dee is always the villain, but I remember the magic/alchemy being really cool as well. ... Crying over it shows that you're putting in the work? xp
Thank you! Yay about the reading and rp! And I hope the mod stuff isn't too depressing to deal with

That is a very good use of your time! It did! I ended up finishing a book almost in one sitting. I just started the third, heh heh. I really, really wanna finish this series. Since starting to reread, I'm wondering if Dee will actually stay the villain. It does, I hope! Did I mention I finally found the court records? Or, well, a small fraction of them? Not thus far! Me and Sand are laughing a lot - as well as being the definition of this face over how some people act. But thus far I don't think I've lost my faith in the goodness of humanity. XD

Agreed! If only my teachers back at school thought so...Nice I miss travelling so much for that exact reason. Best of luck finishing the series! Huh, that's an interesting theory. Iirc there certainly is space for a worse villain to show up. That's excellent! Have you learned anything interesting from them? Well, I'm glad you're able to laugh about it. There's certainly some... interesting things happen in warriors general xD

There's plenty of space and it's an interesting thought. So I'm waiting to see what happens! Yes! Basically confirming what I thought that his father bailed him out. XD Yeeeeeah. There is. There was a spammer in OTRP yesterday too. That was funny, since they posted in not one, but two topics where, once again, not one but two mods RP. XD How are you doing?

Time for another chapter live reaction: 14.5 Got a bit of a redundancy in this sentence at the very start. Tonight gets repeated twice in the same first two sentences. Ivypaw doesn't trust everyone as quickly as in the books, I don't think? I'd be interested to know if Tigerstar and the other DF cats back up their "I'm the good guy" act better this time. Gotta see. Good! I love how Ivypaw is going back to Sol. It feels more natural. Uh oh. Cliffhanger chapter break. I sense bad things.
15.0 Holly. Follow them. Follow them Holly ... I'm betting that other cat was Tigerheart. But wow is this a far place for ShadowClan cats to be. Was he here to visit Dovepaw? Is that a thing? Not sure why he's here. 15.5 Jay. Jay. Where are you Jay. Wonder if he's missing because of Rock. Would honestly love a short from Jay's POV, but he's tied as my favorite Warriors character, so I'm biased. I need to see more Lion action, I'll admit. Less muscle, more something else. That's what was always disappointing in the book. He was always just a touch boring for me. I wonder how he'll play a part here. Love the mentions of Sol. What's that guy up to? Also, the fact he might be concerned for the group. Am I reading that right? ShadowClan attacking on the WindClan border seems fake. I'm sensing bad somethings. Or that Eclipse stuff? I think that would have happen already though. Hum. Wonder how that went down. o.o Tigerheart seemed in a pretty big rush ...
16.0 Ooooh. Dark Forest. I get it. "ShadowClan." Tigerstar is acting veeeeery interesting. What does he know about Sol? I like how Antpelt is getting used more. Or I feel like he is. Don't trust them, Ivypaw! Hum. I like the 'can see the real world' getting incorporated so early. But also, imagining Antpelt just "pop" disappearing from his nest is hilarious. They're going to get lost again. I can sense it. RIP Antpelt. Hope you're still alive.
16.5 Ivypaw is still very cool as an apprentice. Very feisty. That's a lot of animosity to Sol. Wow. Being a mystery and having the power to kill you must rub Ivypaw the wrong way. Pretty brave, really. ANOTHER CLIFFHANGER, WHY SAPPHIRE???

17.0 I honestly did not expect a two tiered attack. Wonder what Ivypaw is going to think of the Dark Forest now. Huuum. What strange things is Squirrelflight talking about? Can't be Sol, can it? Or has Sol been doing something? Oof. Poor Firestar. I find that the DF connection coming so early on is awesome. Yes and yes.

Whatever happens, sounds like things are getting exciting for poor old Flamel cx Huh, good to know! Fun times... I mean, I don't think spammers are the best at thinking things through, but that's pretty hilarious x'D At least it makes your job easier! I'm doing alright. Mostly I'm trying to iron out the ending of Butterflies. And getting into way too deep of a youtube spiral when I was looking for book recs. You?
