I've been writing for over ten years now and still haven't managed to get anything published because I am the ultimate perfectionist and procrastinator lol. I have a lot of different writing music. What I listen to depends on my mood and the kind of scene I'm trying to work on. If I'm writing an action sequence or an intense scene, I'll listen to Two Steps From Hell or Epic Score or some of my metal or alternative music. For more delicate parts I'll listen to something softer, and for happy bits I listen to upbeat songs. And if I need to write something ridiculously melodramatic, I listen to The Smiths/Morrissey because he is the ultimate diva lol.

I like him better than Nick Phoenix, personally. For sad scenes I like some of Elton John's music too.Do you like any movies or tv shows?
Lotr is great, of course! I absolutely love Merlin, though. That show is amazing!I also like Firefly, The IT Crowd, The Lost Room, Lost, Alias, 24, Star Wars (the original three movies), My Cousin Vinny, Tron, NCIS, Monk, Warehouse 13, and Red Dwarf.
Ouch. There were definitely some creepy episodes. However, I think Doctor Who had several creepier episodes lol.
Love Dr. Who...... and yes they can get pretty intense
Hey, Priscilla!I kinda quit watching Doctor Who. Somehow I managed to get through the Peter Capaldi seasons, and then I just didn't have enough interest to watch anymore lol. It sort of felt like they were running out of ideas, and I didn't think it was anywhere near as good as the Tennant and Smith seasons.
Shade and Sweet Water SnailI love Doctor Who. I've seen every episode of it except the newest... and that's because I've not had time to watch them. I'm lucky to get to even post in rps because of the on going chaos that keeps happening.
In my opinion, Amy and Rory were the best companions :)Did either of you make any New Year's resolutions?
I didn't really think of anything. I had other things going on....
I didn't make any either. I always have too much going on to bother with them.
Nice! Hope you reach your goal this year :)
Mod
I might as well chime in though! I made a resolution to finish a novel! Writing one, that is. ;)
Mod
@Dark Angel, feel better soon and good luck with your novel!
Mod
I feel that. I sometimes have trouble finding the motivation to write, and then I don't write and feel even worse for not writing anything lol.
Mod
Awww! Well, maybe if you just make a promise to yourself that you'll write something every day, even if it's something small, it might get you into the habit of writing again? I can't write every day because my headaches won't allow it but it might help you.
I tried something similar to that last year, but usually once school starts I don't have the time or energy to sit down and write even a few sentences. Sometimes I get one of my notebooks out and jot down ideas if anything comes to mind since that seems to be easier for me to do when I'm lacking the strength to do any actual writing. I have an ongoing illness that is usually bearable, but sometimes it flares up to the point where I can't eat and can hardly move.
For the next event, could Raven Rock host it? since the city has no ties to either the Seelie or Unseelie courts, they ought to be alright visiting the place, as long as they enter through the proper channels.
Mod
It depends what the next event is, but Raven Rock could definitely host AN event in the near future. :) When the Seelie and Unseelie courts meld together though, the Lord of Raven Rock will have to pledge allegiance to the High Court or be considered a traitor. Has he thought about what he is going to do?
Well if push does come to shove the city can last ages holding back attackers due to how its constructed, making it very hard place to take over due to the airships and other crafts he makes. In terms of swearing allegiances, sure he would to avoid unnecessary costs on top of the fact he can be quite a benefactor in terms of military might and technology.
Mod
They wouldn't wat much, just his oath that he is loyal to the high court and if any lesser court tries to fight the high court/make an attempt on the high king or high queen's life he would stick by the high court. :)
Mod
i'm Jamilah ;)"
Hi! I'm Josette! :)
This group looks really interesting!By any chance is it based off the folk of the air?
Mod
By any chance is it based off the folk of the air?"
Thank you! <3 And yes, it is loosely based off of the Folk of the Air series! :D But it's also based, in general, off of old faerie lore. Most of it is actual faerie lore, which resembles The Folk of the Air because they used a lot of real faerie lore too instead of the watered down stuff you tend to get nowadays. I love that they did that! :) But the Court of Secrets is basically the Court of Shadows, yes. :D
I love that :) can't wait to get started!!
Mod
YAY! :) Well, let me know if you have any questions or anything like that, I'd be more than happy to help you out. And thank you so much for joining! <3 If you have any friends you think might be interested in this, feel free to invite them. The more the merrier, right?
Thanks 😊 I’ll send invites now 😜
this group seems really fun! I can't wait to get started! Thanks for inviting me Jamilah ^-^
Iesha!!! Anastasia!!! Glad you could make it :)
I'm ready for more way too dramatic collabs because that's what feeds my soul
Hey y'all! I'm a bit late to the party but this looks like an awesome group!
Mod
Hey! I haven’t been really active on this group, my bad! Is it alright if I touch up my character a bit? I’ll keep the same, with the job and all, but I want to touch her up, make her more detailed. I wanted to see if this is alright before I proceed!
Mod
Of course. :)
There´s nothing wrong in improving your character, especially to update relevant information.
Hey, all! Just letting you guys know that I have finals this week, so I won't be on as much. I'll try to get on and reply to my rps when I can, but I won't be on regularly until this Thursday.
Mod
So dizzy...so, so dizzy...
Thanks, guys!You alright, Angel?
Mod
Hello peeps
Hello hello! I’m currently in the middle of finishing up the last of my finals, and re-submitting work.With that I will be on a lot more frequently- andddd!
That means that I’m re-doing my characters from a lot of groups.
If anyone is interested in roleplaying with my fire child, let me know!
Hello everyone!!!
Mod
I would just like to take this time to apologize for my absence. As some of you might know, I suffer from a condition called IIH (Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension), which basically means I have a build up of fluid around my brain, resulting in a constant headache and other symptoms. I also have other illnesses along with the IIH that give me nausea/sickness, chronic fatigue, weakness, dizziness etc.
On my better days I am able to do quite a bit of writing, but these past few weeks my conditioning has worsened. It does this. It gets better, then it gets worse, then it gets better. Pattern repeats.
I just wanted to take this time to explain, and apologize for, my absence. If I am absent, you can usually assume it's because of my illnesses.
I hope I haven't inconvenienced anyone too much. :)
-Dark Angel
Oh Angel!Please, when something starts like the pattern, don't feel guilty for taking a break, it's important that we all stay healthy and safe, especially now of all times.
Besides, the key to writing is inspiration, if you aren't feeling it, you aren't going to enjoy writing, and that's the whole point of groups like this. It shouldn't feel like a chore to reply to anyone, it should be an enjoyable experience as you two write your story together.
It's okay to apologize, I'm just sorry you felt the need. Please stay safe and take breaks when you need to, your health and wellbeing is more important than any little collab you might have going.
