Just wanted to shout out the amazing writing partners I have currently!

Princess- Your posts have such amazing introspection. Depth of character. I've loved how you've begun every post with Everly. It's been such a treat to read.

Anders- Your first post was just oozing such good lore. It has this otherworldly feel you'd imagine an entity like an Angel to have. It feels so distinct and a joy to engage with.

Seyda- I mean you know I'm a fan but every post of yours feels so much like your character. Disciplined, direct, but with these cracks of emotion you have to search for but then are so loud.

Thank you for letting me write with yall ^^

"Argentum" by the writer of Vex
Vex wrote:Once upon a time, it was said that vampires couldn’t see their reflection in mirrors. Vampires, they reasoned, couldn’t come into contact with pure things, and silver was said to be a pure metal.
had to quote those first two sentences. now THAT is some banging prose. It's giving academics in the right way. Not stiff, very clear prose, but a great beginning.

Like Frankenstein’s monster, you’re an amalgam of stolen parts. You’ve hacked off pieces of yourself and replaced them with more palatable scraps - something to fit others’ desires. What you thought they wanted. You don’t know when you started forcing yourself to be useful at all costs: a weapon, a tool, or a loaded tongue. More than anything else, you wanted to be of service. Being loved on your own merit seemed too lofty a goal for something so unworthy.

How often have you cut away pieces of yourself to fit into someone else’s mould? When did you start?
I particularly enjoy this passage. It has so much good weight to it. The pacing is fantastic.
Loved the piece, Lytha bb <3 Good soup.

All of the above. I've been trying to find words to describe how heavily impactful Lyssa's piece is, but keep failing. I haven't felt that emotional reading something since Addie LaRue, and almost never in a RP.

Thanks for giving me something to hurt to and to aspire to.

Thank you guys!

I've been working on that thing for like a month and I'm glad it came together well enough to hurt. <3

I hadnt realised you'd already posted this, Princess. Fantastic writing. I enjoy how vivid the fighting scene is, and how dynamic Everly is as a character. Also love the layout.
