Oh, ha, okay then. But Maya isn't a weakling and she'll make sure Adam and Mr. Knight (Xander) knows it when they meet. She too is very capable. But, yeah, I think he could be the one to rescue Maya. That said though, they might still have to kill the wolf anyways, unless possibly they could just eat her rations? But she'd see it as an opportunity to save them.

Oh! That'll be great if @ladcat13 does that, if she wants! But I might want to include part of her battle with the wolf in my post though, is that alright, lad?

This storybook looks really fun and I'd love to join if it's alright. I'll try to get my profile up as soon as I can.

That is alright, I believe! Yay, more members!

Well, since Ladcat isn't posting right now I say we should let you describe what the forest does, thewritersdream. If the storybook goes too long without posts then it'll die out.

Sounds good to me! I like how this is going. I apologize that I haven't been very active lately; I was camping in the mountains. No signal up there, let alone wifi. But hey, I'm back now! I am sooo glad this SB is actually taking off! Keep writing, as always!

I'll put my post up asap. Also I added a picture, if it's too light-hearted and not freaky enough, I'll try to look for another one. I think it helps to see a picture sometimes and stuff.

I put up another post. If ladcat doesn't take over the forest for this scene, I will. I'm starting to get the idea of what she might be trying to accomplish with the forest. I kind of have an idea of what to do anyway, and it could add another dimension to the intercharacter interactions. Basically, that would involve the horse spooking, Xander probably getting hurt (not bad enough to overly hinder him in the woods, but it would make it harder to get out), and the horse escapes. Someone else could find him later on. Maybe. I don't know. Like I said, I "kind of" have an idea.

I'm thinking about adding another female character too, and add some hysteria and partial insanity with it. Probably say that she's been trapped in the woods for some time and has started to lose her mind with the lack of a human companion, sort of like the tales of "wild men" from Africa and other third-world regions.

I have to say these are all great ideas. But I have some grim news. I am afraid that with new challenges cropping up in my life, I am finding less and less time to participate here at YWS. Therefore, I will have to decrease my activity here. It saddens me to say this, since I only just met you guys and you're all great. But I have to prioritize, as I'm sure you all understand.

I'll read what you guys post, and follow the SB to the end. Maybe make an occasional comment. thewritersdream, I will have to cede control of this SB to you, I'm afraid.

*sigh*. Sacrifices stink.

It'll be alright, Ladcat. The fact that you know when and where to make sacrifices means you're smart and you're the kind of person who will succeed at just about anything you do.

Thewritersdream, I think it'd be best if you post the beginning of Maya's encounter with the wolf before I post my character's struggle with the vines trying to strangle him. If you end your next post with Maya making some kind of loud noise, like a scream or a call for help, once Adam breaks himself free he can hear it and head towards the sound.

Alright, I expanded my post. I finished the scene with Xander and his horse, so that could open up an opening for someone else. Hey @Dakushau , welcome!

Sorry I haven't posted in here and didn't yet finish my character, I was a little busy. Also for some reason I didn't receive any notifications. It's too late for me to do anything tonight but I will go ahead and read any new posts in the storybook tonight. Tomorrow I'll finish my character and try to make a post. Glad to be in this storybook with you guys!

Ah, don't feel too pressured, Daku. I think it's alright to say that all of us have some stuff going on in our lives.

Alright, Well I went ahead and finished my profile, it's just waiting approval. I plan on working on getting a post up either later today or sometime tomorrow.

Your turn, thewritersdream.
