  1. I only assumed we'd use 1st person because it's a common trait of light novels from the few I've read. I think we should still try 1st person, but we've barely started so nothing's set in stone. I'll try writing a bit going off what @LonelyPoet has already done. 

    Also, I think the Boogiepop series successfully used first person while switching between different characters perspectives. (Haven't read much of it so I may be wrong)

    Also did you read what I wrote so far on the docs for the story? Do you like it? I don't know if I'm writing the story correctly. 

    I like it, especially the part where Osmond talks back to the maid and then makes those pancake tacos. You can really sense how fed up he is with his family situation, like he can't take anything seriously.

    Hey! I don't know when I'll get to be online again but can you send some character descriptions for the characters you created. I don't know how to draw them. 

    I've been slacking, but I want to quit being a Pro Crastinator 😆 so I did this quick sketch of Fey today (definitely subject to change, the hair is wayyy too purple). You should see more drawings from me soon, I'll probably end up making another google doc for concept art.

    Would anyone be interested in me creating an AnimeForums Spotify playlist?  I can probably find most of what we have on here.

    Sounds like a good idea so people don't have to go through every individual page of videos, way too time consuming.

    Finished the 5cm/sec manga (only bought it because the 'One more side' LN was released). I recently started 'Blood Trail' by Oshimi Shuzo and its really good. Also, I'm soon caught up with the Detective Conan manga.

    If you read it yet, did you like "One More Side"? I read a translation of the original novel so I wonder how much more this one brings to the table.

    Right now I'm on volume 4 of Kodocha. Really looking forward to getting the complete story, even though I miss how over the top the show was.

    Yeah! Starting the rough draft would be great; I'll have the plot beats sorted out completely pretty soon. I would be good to know what type of 'voice' the actual writing will have. I like your idea for the parents background. I feel like now would be a good time to get a sort of natural plot dump from them. I was also wondering what they would be like personality wise. I would imagine them being very strict people but I feel like that might be to over done in a way. What do you think? 

    I don't know what sort of tone to go for, or if I'll be able to control the tone of the writing, since I've done very little creative writing. For now I'll just go with the flow, getting stuff on the page and posting it here to see where it stands. As to the parents, they should be strict, but after Osmond leaves they might change their approach to cater to him. Although if they realize how much he's learned, they might be better off trying to get rid of him as he'd be more of a rival to them than an asset. And I was thinking maybe the parents' relationship is rocky, which is why they can't take the Empyrean Flame themselves.

  7. Should I take the plot beats and start writing a rough draft with what we have so far? And I was thinking the parents could be from an important family that at one point possessed the earth (or Gaian) Flame, but lost it when the young heir at the time abandoned their duties and betrayed their co-possessor of the Flame, greatly tarnishing the Clayborne's reputation.

  8. I have some more ideas for rivals and history of the world, maybe they can fit in with what you've been working on. I've been working on profiles for Fey and Oslow; whether or not they're up to par with what I wanted I will have them up this weekend. Also, how about we start a document on Google Docs?

    St. Vitus family- An aristocrat educated in thaumaturgy and alchemy, Vitus became venerated as a Saint after he conquered Leviathan, Ophan of the Undine Flame. This ended the Deluge that followed the Fall of God, when humanity's gift of free will was actualized, placing the fate of the world in the hands of those with the strongest desire and conviction, regardless of their choice: to affirm or deny it's existence. His failure to discover the elixir of life led to him transferring the Undine Flame into the blood of himself and his wife; they've managed to keep the Undine Flame within their veins through marrying within the family. Due to increasing efforts to obtain their Flame, the family has been hunted to near extinction, and the whereabouts of the current scions, Fey and Oslow, is unknown.

    The Deluge- 1000 years after the Fall of God, Leviathan, the Ophan of the Undine Flame, brought a great flood to the Earth meant to destroy humanity. It is said that every 1000 years another similar disaster will take place in an effort to motivate people to gather the flames before the next one occurs; the Empyrean disaster is assumed to be the final and apocalyptic disaster.


    Fall of God- after the Fall of Man, in which humanity denied God, God divided itself up into three parts, each a flame burning with life (elan vital), that when collected together will essentially give the possessor the power to make a decision to continue with God's original plan for the world, or to abandon it. In the case of the latter, the consequences are unknown.

  9. As someone who never keeps up with seasonal releases, I can relate to not relating to most other viewers 😝. But it doesn't really matter as long as you find stuff that's enjoyable, right?

    I love that song, even though I prefer their older material (the first three albums).

    I believe I found this through my discover weekly on Spotify, but I have wanted to check out their discography. Coincidentally, one of the first videos in my search results for this song was a Hellsing slideshow.
