@Miss_K I may be celebrating a birthday at that time and not able to get in game.

[Kimkate_Burnclock]

That's ok, you have two different weekend meetings you can cover: April 6th or April 13th. Whichever works better for you will be fine

[Eerie_Coppernight]

@Emily_Purplebottle will be leaving tomorrow if not today. She announced it this morning.

[Alex_Ironquill1]

@Emily_Purplebottle, what first inspired you to write?
@Silverclaw_Bonnetfolly1 and @Cinnar_Ratchetloop, have either of you noticed a distinct change in the forums compared to when you first joined? If so, what was that change?

[Kimkate_Burnclock]

I've talked to her about that. She said she'd be willing to do an interview at least.

[Cinnar_Ratchetloop]

Yes, in fact. Though my breaks are super lengthy and far-stretched, I can still sense the change. When I first joined, it was more like a family, even though there were so many people. Everyone had interactions and the whole community was really close-knit, never shy to welcome someone into the warm weaving.
I feel like things have changed a lot since then. We're beginning to lose those delicate weaves and threads. It's beginning to feel more like a school, I suppose, or a social gathering. Everyone's bunched up in their little groups with many loners left behind.

[Kimkate_Burnclock]

Ok @Alex_Ironquill1! You'll also be interviewing Stanley about herself.

@Missy_Vonheart can you write an accompanying article for the Community spotlight column?

[Emily_Purplebottle]

@Alex_Ironquill1, I’ve been making up stories ever since I could remember but when I tried writing them, it all fell to dust. It was when @Draekaan_Lightbrick, (My friend IRL) published his first book that I really got back into it. Then when I join Story Embers, it really kickstarted me and I wrote several short stories and eventually started a real book. So you see, it was a gradual thing.

[Missy_Vonheart]

Absolutely, what’s my deadline?

[Kimkate_Burnclock]

April 15th,

[Missy_Vonheart]

Ok thanks, starts getting distracted by taxes,

[Alex_Ironquill1]

@Cinnar_Ratchetloop, Can you think of (or know of) anything that might have caused the change?
@Emily_Purplebottle, What sort of things do you enjoy writing? Was there a specific change in your writing style, or something you learned from your friend/Story Embers?

[Emily_Purplebottle]

@Alex_Ironquill1, I enjoy writing futuristic, sci-fi, and fantasy. I can’t stand historical fiction.
My writing style did change. I paid a lot more attention to what I was doing and added more description.
From SE I learned a lot about developing characters and the setting.

[Cinnar_Ratchetloop]

@Alex_Ironquill1
Honestly, I'm not so sure of myself. Maybe it's because of the older members semi-leaving or flat-out leaving, but I don't like to believe that. This isn't just a one-size-fits-all sort of community.
Like I said before, it seems more like a school now. You don't really get recognized unless you make a roleplay or do art or something else super cool.
Like I said, I don't exactly know the cause of this as I was not present in this change.

[Silverclaw_Bonnetfolly1]

I have noticed that we seemed to have been focusing more on role plays, but I think that is because we have no new episodes to focus on, which I don't blame Scarlet City for a lot has been happening for them. We have gotten a lot of new members since the forums started though there have been people leaving it does not compare to the amount joining. Overall I think we as a community have grown, there have always been people that don't stand out, there always will be.

[Emman_Jumpsong1]

sure

Proverbs 3:5-6(KJV)
5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths

do i say what it means or do i just show a scripture?

[Kimkate_Burnclock]

Just the scripture is fine, thank you!

[Kimkate_Burnclock]

@Julie_Martin can you take over the comic column for Peri until she returns?

Also, @Emily_Purplebottle, I need you to cover the next Writers' club meeting. The date is TBD for now.

[Kimkate_Burnclock]

@Missy_Vonheart do you have a drawing of either Cinnar or Silverclaw we can use for the paper?

[Xonos_Darkgrate1]

I thought I already covered it? I sent the article to @Hans_Oddcraft.
