Young Writers Society

...Apparently I will not be lounging at my grandparent's house until shortly after Christmas, so expect a post either then, or on like Friday, since I've gotta do something on the plane.

Also, if anyone needs to chat with me while I'm overseas, you'll need to ping me on YWS somehow and set up a specific time. I will not have my phone (and therefore no Skype and less internet access). Taiwan is 16 hours ahead of PST, which puts me significantly ahead of all of you, so bear that in mind when setting up a time.

For Fox, Char, and the twins:
If you need an interview for college, do it in October. That is hands down the time when you and the interviewer will be the least busy.

@Robusto, I hereby disapprove of that plan. Why should you get to have all the fun on your own? The prequel will be tackled after this SB has been completed, and the sequel after that. *firm nod*

@Buggiedude2340, enjoy your stay in Taiwan! In the meantime, I shall ensure @Tortwag enjoys his week here in Cape Town. (I have to get up in less than six hours to fetch him from his hotel - why am I still awake? XD)

@Astralhunter : Fair enough. We'll keep going until we're in our thirties if we have to!
Hopefully it won't come to that... ^~^'

That is true. In other news, I had started with another Black Sky post before Fox posted, so I shall finish that and then start with my Gabriel post. Before I do the latter, however, I plan on creating a comprehensive list of everything that has happened thus far - with dates, most importantly. I aim to include future events as well, since then it will be easier to see what we have planned after a significant amount of time has passed adter those plans were made. Heck, it will at least provide an accurate number of days that we've/our characters have been Pokémon.

I have officially landed in Taiwan! Apparently my phone is smart enough to connect to wifi and not the local wireless data, so I will have access if anyone needs me.

Tort, I hope you enjoy South Africa! (Hunter, be a good host.) You'll have to come visit me once I'm off at college in a city with actual tourism. And if anyone else in this SB is traveling, then may you be lucky with the weather and your vehicles.

Almost exactly 2 years (less than two hours now) since we started this SB. I'm amazed it's lasted this long, and that I've been a part of it for so long. It has lasted about 1/7.5 the length of my lifespan, and composes a good amount of my long-term memory - in other words, it's hard for me to remember life before this SB started. So, yay! Thanks for this wonderful, expansive, and awesome Storybook, everyone!

(also, I thought you'd like to know, @Tortwag - I was playing that Smash game and you told me I could probably go toe-to-toe with Level 9 CPUs in SSB4. Remember that? I decided to spend about an hour and a half doing exactly that. I'm pretty sure I'm a pushover who exploits items and doesn't know how to use a shield, but I had some exceptionally long winning streaks, and I think I won about as often as I lost. I'm proud of myself for doing so well, at least. XD)

Look for soup around early January. His flashy new computer is due around then. Thank you for your patience.

Hope everyone had an amazing Christmas ^^

im bronze 4, what is life


I shall post after a few ppl. I know that vague, but so am I.


Psst, robusto, start that prequel fam.

The Astral Hunter has returned! As everyone can probably imagine, @Tortwag is a very effective distraction from all things literary, but he is on a plane back home, so I am free to rededicate myself to writing. The summary is still on its way, and if any of you like, you can go view what I have thus far on the first page of the DT. It's not much yet (only the first page), but it will take time.

But I am also posting here to brag about two of my amazing gifts. (I don't usually get presents for Christmas, but this year, everything I got, I either wanted or needed, so that's fantastic!) The first I bought for myself, and the second Tortwag gave me.


This is a Dragon Egg. At the moment, it appears to be a Dragonstone Egg, but if I/we believe hard enough, it will hatch. If you don't believe it will hatch, it won't, so the opposite must work too, am I right? Even if it doesn't hatch in my lifetime, it will help me see the auric field when I eventually start studying that, and it serves as a magnificent centrepiece, so I'm nevertheless ecstatic. It's 8cm in length, 7,5cm in width, and 11cm in height. It's huge and it's heavy and I love it!


And this is my Christmas present from Tort. It's a Time Gear from PMD 2, which is the PMD series' version of an icon, such as the Pokéball for the main series. I love it to pieces as well, and if you shine a light on it for long enough, it glows in the dark. My phone's camera isn't strong enough to pick it up yet, but I'll see if I can upload a picture sometime soon.

If you want details about any of the things Tort and I did while he was here, feel free to ask, and we shall gladly share. Otherwise, I shall bombard only my wall with the details.

PS: If you ever upload attachments to a post, don't click the link to one of them, because your post will be erased and you will be forced to start anew. XD

Waow. Nostalgia hits like a truck

The soup has returned. His flashy new computer is now fully operational. He will be posting shortly.

Submitted! That took forever... >_<

Welcome back, @StupidSoup! I beat you! XD

EDIT: I fixed the end because dad forced me to switch off before it was completely done. It's ready to read now, though, so go ahead! (As I got to the confrontation between Shane and Zizel, I ran out of energy, so I apologise for any noticeable drop in quality.)

(I've been uh, straaaangely silent about everything on YWS, and I'm not sure why - I need to get used to post things here again.

Don't worry guys, I'll post a few things in the DT/Wall/Tortwag club again soon enough.)

we await your eminence with the utmost glee.
