Quick update here: it took longer than I would have liked to get everything ready, but we're kicking off this year's corpses now! First writers should be getting the go-ahead to start in the next couple days; for everybody else, hang tight and look out for a message when it's your turn to write...

Long time, no see! Glad you've been doing well, and it's nice to see you around again. There are plenty of avid worldbuilders around here, although unfortunately you've just missed Worldbuilding June. I'm sure you'd still be able to find people interested in talking fan-regions or other...

I never saw any of the sequels, but the first movie was a masterpiece. That was my opinion as a five-year-old, and I'm sticking to it. :P Thanks for the clarifications! I'm glad Coco is going to probably-mostly be okay. lol, if that isn't ever a mood

Love me some battles! My stories are generally fairly battle heavy (watch me reaching for a battle scene when I'm unsure of how to structure a one-shot, lol), and I always appreciate a great battle scene in stories that I'm reading, too. Some of my favorite fights that I've written are the...

I'm back! Last attempt at playing catch-up obviously didn't go so well, but now that I'm caught up with Worldslayers (permanently ;-;), I'm making this my next target to work through. We'll see if it works better! In any case, I need those Blacklight points while I can still get them, so I'll...

I'm really excited to see these posted! You did some fun things with the prompts, and I was tickled by how Dave-centric they ended up being. Lots of fun character moments here! I enjoyed the little "top 10 photos taken before disaster" biggest headline short. Lovely dramatic irony in Dave...

Coming to the end of this one was a surprise! For some reason I thought there were around twenty-five chapters—quite a bit to go yet! Not sure I’m emotionally ready for this to be over, heh. On the whole I thought it ended up being a satisfying ending, though. A bit happier than I was...

Okay, sign-ups are now closed! It's great to see everybody excited to play around with these themes. I'm going to finalize things with the people who volunteered to run a corpse, and I expect the first writers to get their assignments in the next couple of days.

Sup Navar! I’m here for one of your Blacklight prize reviews. I’ve seen a few of your characters around in various RPs, so it’ll be fun to see what the story they come from is like. I’m going to start out with the first five chapters, which I figure should give me a good feel for the story. And...

Exquisite Corpse 2021 It's time once again to kick off our annual run of exquisite corpses! An exquisite corpse is a writing game where where participants come together to write a story... with each only being able to see the last couple sentences of the previous writer's work! Anything can...

All right, looks like we have our themes. Thanks a ton to everyone who volunteered to run a corpse--I'll contact you once sign-ups close and we know how many of each theme we'll need. Sign-up thread up shortly! See you soon.

Thanks to everyone who's replied so far! It was a lot of fun getting to see what people's experiences with the series have been, whether the books are childhood favorites or ones you've only heard about recently. Here's how things are going to work from here on out: 1) We read one book a week...

Don't know that I'll have much to say as this rolls along, but it's fun to see you reposting it! Also, Chalenor's severed head lying alone in a bloody field is the most hilarious mental image.

I saw you working on porting your stories over here, so I figured I’d check them out! Seems like I’ve been seeing more “human in the PMD world” stories recently. It’s a fun genre with a lot of potential to explore. I have to admit that I found this one pretty confusing, though! Getting thrown...

It's time for another round of Exquisite Corpse! If you aren't familiar with Exquisite Corpses, these are collaborative writing games where a group of authors get together to write a story on a given theme, with one twist: each author writes a scene based only on the last two sentences of the...

Hey, CouchEffect! I saw you were checking out some of the other stories in the community, so I thought I’d take a look at yours! I haven’t read a great many stories centering on Ash, but it’s always good to try something new. And I like your Ash here! I think you do a good job of capturing his...

Hello! I’ve seen you posting around a bit, and I thought I’d come check your story out. It’s definitely an intriguing premise, Leon and Hana getting transposed in both time and space, and Johto is going to put both of them well out of their element. At least there’s a time-traveling legend there...

This is the main discussion thread for our Animorphs book club! There's also a Discord component to the club if you're interested in joining in on that; visit the #botstuff channel on our Discord server and check out the pins to find out how to add the "Andalite Bandit" role that will let you...

All right, based on feedback, it looks as though we'll be doing a hybrid Discord/thread model, where Discord will have reminder pings and real-time discussion, while there'll be a forum thread with discussion questions and serving as a more permanent place for thoughts or reactions. We may do...

Here for one overdue Blacklight prize review! I'll be looking at all the chapters posted so far--some general comments to start out, then individual chapter commentary under the spoilers! Salem seems like she'll be a fun character to follow. I enjoyed the nods to her purrloin past in the form...
