Five days until I have to return to that horror...
Some of my most cheerful songs are slow xD But yeah, you need the whole range of moods, don't you?
I've heard of that!
Nice! I hope you've had good luck with it so far!

I'm already back. Rescue me.
Yeah, I know. You have to listen to the lyrics. *shrugs*
o3o Nice.
Thank you.
What have you been up to?

Nooo, it's too late... You're trapped until the summer.
Agreed. Speaking of, have you ever had that experience where you look up the lyrics of a song and it completely changes what you thought was the meaning?
Not much tbh. Slept off going to church like a million times over Easter, hung around at home, tried to get a buffer together on camp nano... You?

I'm trapped in Summer to. Woop, woop Summer school! But hey, it helps me in the long run and it's only one class.
YUP. I've been singing one song incorrectly for years. But if you mean you heard the song correctly but reading the lyrics puts a different spin on it, then yes. I've had that experience too.
I am trying to set up a lot more writing than I seem capable of. Trying to learn more German in a week than seems physically possible. I'm trying to get all the work done for this semester so I can ease back once it's over and start taking it a half hour a day like everything advises. Sorta working on an animation. I actually posted the completed one I just did in the Art Forum topic called The Art Hub, if you wanted to take a look. ^^

Aww no! At least you know it's helpful, and you should get some freedom around the edges I meant the second one, but YES. There's this one song that I've been listening to almost two years, and I just recently realised I got one line completely wrong... I feel like a failed fan of that song >.< That's awesome! I seriously envy how driven you are. I hope it's all going well This took me an absurdly long time but I finally found the thread and wow! It's so pretty, especially the start with all the colours and the bit with the door. Also intrigued me about TPH again o.o

So apparently it's been almost a month since this thread was last posted on? Anyway, just a quick post to let you guys know I've not entirely forgotten about this fic. I've started work on chapter 11 - camp nano went... interesting, as usual, so I don't have much. But I have a pretty good handle on everything that's wrong with ALOS now, so I guess that was a month well spent? idk.

YOUR ALIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE. And sounds like a month well spent to me. That poll ... is bad though. I ... can't choose. ALOS was good. This is good. Rising Smoke was good (yes, I still remember that fic. cx ) This poll is bad.

I AAAMMMM! Although school's doing its level best to kill me rn soHopefully Aww no! Bad poll! I mean, I'm asking just out of curiosity if that makes it better. I'm glad you like everything though How's things with you? I hope you're feeling better c:

I know, very vividly, what you mean.
I know that it's a curiosity question, but it's still so tough. @.@ I'll just choose this one cause it's the one most vividly in my head.
Oh, things are okay enough. My fever's gone, so just gotta kick this cold. I just finished up a final, so only have one more. Other than that ... nothing much interesting. Wrote and completed the story I was doing for Camp NaNo (up in Off-topic writing, self advertisement) and now focused on PtS again.

*nods sadly* We will suffer together >.< I'm sorry... That's good And good luck getting well and with the final! Hopefully you can get a break once that's done? That's interesting! I definitely need to read that story then. What's it called?

Post by mintedstar/fur on May 9, 2018 22:34:52 GMT -5
Yep! I'm getting a break. Going on vacation day after tomorrow. And I finished up the hardest final, so just the very last one and I'm done. It's called the Immortal Rules. Shouldn't be that far down.

Post by ~Sapphire~ on May 12, 2018 18:49:54 GMT -5
Yay! I hope it all goes (went) well! Another vacation... I'm jealous cx Do you have any particular plans? Got it! Now why would anyone want to burn down the forums? *hides matches behind back*

Post by mintedstar/fur on May 17, 2018 0:44:19 GMT -5
Yes, it did go well, thank you! The plans were to visit a national park, visit with friends, and my personal plan was to read a lot. All plans were completed. Mostly it involved finding out on the last couple chapters of Count of Monte Cristo that it was the abridged version and thus was missing a good 100 chapters more. I was not happy. Don't hide the matches. It's actually a sad reference to the fact that every major forum change happens when I'm on vacation (barring the closer of the original forums, thank goodness). So I've half been putting it there for luck and half as a joke reference for when a couple of my friends (Owlmoon, Thunderfire) made joke threads about burning the forums down one time I was on vacation. Making sure to tag me on every topic. Recently vacations hasn't proven to be so ... dangerous ... but I have a habit of sticking with luck and crossing my fingers. Luckily it is more a joke reference than anything else these days.

Good! Sounds like the perfect holiday tbh Beautiful landscapes, friends and books. Ugh, what a pain. But wait, another hundred chapters? How many are there in that book? Sorry, I didn't realise that. Well, nothing seems to have happened this time. Other than the Curse update but that's good news, right? Huh, maybe I should hide the matches from your friends, then. That's funny because the forum apocalypse was the big event that I was away for. I got back from having no internet to find the old forums in chaos.

I tell a lie. Another fifty chapters. In total there's a little over a hundred chapters but the abridged version only has 50.
Wha? Nah, you're fine. XD It's a joke now, so you're meant to say that. It's practically a baited trap.
Yes, that's very good news. Nope, nothing happened this time. The last time something 'bad' happened was last June, when a friend of mine left the forums the day I came back from vacation. I missed saying goodbye to them by ... 4 hours or something and I was really sad. But a month later they came back, soooooo. I guess I can't count that either. XD And maybe you should hide the matches from them. They're such fire-bugs.
Wow. That's ... ouch. At least ya made it over here. :') That was not the funnest first couple days when the notice went out.
I need to read the Scorpio Races. My friend (who I saw when I was camping) sang its praises. I recently rearranged my bookcase and found out I have books I completely forgot about. o.o I need to read the mountain of TBR now.

Post by ~Sapphire~ on May 22, 2018 4:34:43 GMT -5
That still sounds pretty long (even the abridged version). But less frightening than I imagined xD Have you had any luck getting the full version?
Good, good. Hmm, take care when reading Mint's status, there may be traps.
Can't believe it's almost over. I've been waiting for Curse updates for the past 2 years now. That is sad. I'm glad they came back in the end, but that's really not a nice surprise.
I was back in plenty of time to find out about here, thank goodness! And yeah, I can imagine... All I remember is the link anarchy and that turning out the lights thread on the old wff.
Yes, read the Scorpio Races! Your friend has good book taste. And that sounds either wonderful or torturous, depending on how much reading time you have c:

Post by mintedstar/fur on May 24, 2018 14:15:38 GMT -5
Yeah. I got it the day after I finished because I remembered seeing it at the little local library booksale. We had to return books anyway, so I bought the book. Very true. I know!No, not really. XD It was a nice surprise when she came back though. X'D My, the fact the turning out the lights thread stuck out. I'm pleased. I remember the hilarious way one person gave out the link. They stacked it like: We can read put forward out reading up more stories Though more cleverly than that. Ah ha ha. I have to go back to school in less than 26 days. It's torture.

Ah good! So at least you didn't have to wait in suspense.
So, dare I ask about cupitor imposibilium? It was a pretty emotional moment. I just wish I could remember more of what was said :/ That's quite neat! Hmm...
We are Creating Real Poetry For Others Rather than Unique Messages
Oh no! School, let Mint have her reading time! She needs to read Scorpio Races right away! (I left my school last week. I mean, I've got to come back to sit exams, but it feels so weird...)

I read in Count of Monte Cristo that it means 'I seek the impossible'. I thought that was very witty. Hum. Well, I have a bit of my farewell to the forums saved, I believe. Then if you look back through my old topics I have the first topic I made when the place went down. Being on the old forums and these at the same time felt so weird. Like walking around in a new house. Yep! Very neat. I think the topic was saved om Wayback, but I could be wrong. No, maybe someone just screenshotted it and I saw it hanging around in a topic around here. *claps* It almost has me again. I'll be in school the day before my birthday. ;-;

Ah, nice! Very witty. And also inspirational, probably.
You have a lot of topics o.o. But I found that topic, thanks! Almost two years ago? How? It was! Neither of them quite felt like the proper forums.
I almost always have school on my birthday. Nobody wants to have a holiday in November :c I hope you managed to have some time to you, though! Is this the summer school you were talking about?

I hope so. Errrr. Yeah, I guess I do. XD They're all relevant, I swear. Agreed. Glad I've settled down here at least. Bad people. Make all Birthdays holidays. Yep! I've been in it as of four days and already have had a major test. I hope I scored okay going to go check soon. I'm worried. They're Summer classes for college and I'm already comparing it to cram school.

Seek the impossible (number of fics to read)! I never doubted that Yeah, this place is a pretty good replacement. (And people still seem to be able to find us, even without the official status, which is something I was worried about tbh.) We should definitely petition for this! I had a mock exam one birthday. Not nice. That is deeply unfair. Leave some time for everyone to find their feet! Hope you got the score you wanted!

Oh and I made enough progress with this fic to be able to post a sample of chapter 11. foxdance mintedstar/fur » ѕнαdσω ⚔️ ᴛᴜᴇsᴅᴀʏ ᴇᴍʙᴇʀ ✴ ❆αυяσяα @battlingfear prophet Mosspool Dingoleap ѕωιƒтƒαℓcση (This will probably take place mid-chapter. I'm thinking of splitting the chapter between Holly and Ivy POV.) Holly waits for Ivypaw probably longer than she needs to.
“She went out a while ago,” Hazeltail tells Holly. “Needed a walk, she said. I was going to give her another few minutes, then tell Brightheart. Why, are you taking her out today?”
“I was considering it,” Holly replies.
“Good of you.” Hazeltail smiles ruefully. “She used to be a really nice kit. I guess she’s getting it out of her system at the moment.”
“She’s not that bad,” Holly says, adding, “I’d better go see what I’m doing instead. Do you want me to tell Brightheart?”
Yesterday, Ivypaw was desperate to find Sol - there’s no way that today she’d be so unbothered as to wander off and miss the search party. So either Ivypaw did go out for a few minutes, and something happened to stop her from making it home. Or she was avoiding the search party deliberately.
Holly can’t help but worry that it’s her own fault. She thought delaying the search would keep the others safe…
“Have you seen Ivypaw yet?” she asks Dovepaw a few minutes later, who shakes her head. The apprentice has been sweeping the territory using her power since they first realised that Ivypaw was gone, but to no avail.
She hovers at the edge of camp, avoiding the gaze of Greystripe, who’s sorting out the patrols. The dawn sky lightens into the chilly blue of late leaf-fall, far too late for Ivypaw to have lost track of the time.
“Go and train with Firestar,” she tells Dovepaw. “I’ll be - find Jay if you see anything. You said that you saw Sol near the WindClan border, right?”
Dovepaw nods.
“Okay, then. I’ll be back soon.”

Some from the old forums returning and others who were never members. Owlmoon, for example. I'm pleased with that. I was worried about that too. ) ICK! No, not nice at all. o.o Well, it's only a six week course. So I suppose it is what it is. I got a C. I wish I'd gotten better, but as it turns out, no one got an A on this first test. And I know I'll score better as I go.

Yup, Owlmoon and co have been a real gift! Guess we're still a big enough group to come up on google (First result actually, so that's good!) Plus revision beforehand *shudders* True! Good luck then If a B was the highest anyone got, C is pretty good. So congrats!
