What is a

Chatterbox: Pudding's Place

What is a

What is a beginning of a story?

The first of a series of events, setting up a change that a character goes through.

 

What is a story?

A place for the artist to build their creativity -- a world and setting and person to color, something to tell to the audience.

I would really rather not spend our precious time thinking about the true meaning of fiction itself. Nothing is quite so black and white. Instead, I invite you to come to this Ski Lodge to explore the worlds and characters you love.

---

You are in a roped-off area with several other children your age, all of which are nervously holding their collective breath. As an over-the-top, bubbly lady clutches a paper in her stiff, pale hand you hope for dear life that the name it reads is not your own.

You are sharing riding across a glassy river with several other first-years, a few on each boat. You are all very nervous to begin this new chapter in your life, but never the the less, excited, as the purple castle looms over you, beckoning you.

Your heart is pounding as you dash towards the hill which promised safety, the one with the pine tree. You are running blindly away from the monster as your best friend instructed you, but you have no idea what it is or how your friend could possibly know.

Hello. I am The Fictionalist.

I am the personification of the human’s imagination, and all of the stories it creates. A writer, no matter the medium used to express their story, is simply the fingerprint with which a story’s painting is painted.

This will not be spoiler-heavy but it will probably contain several minor spoilers. If you hate spoilers this might not be the Ski Lodge for you. Also, it might be a while until the first part comes out because I want to have the forms with me as I plan, especially because of Camp NaNoWriMo.

Form: (CBers only -- I will accept around ten people, maybe a few more)

Fandoms/characters/places/etc. You want to see featured*:

*Even if it does not have a fandom, feel free to list it anyways! List as many as you want as there is no guarantee that I will know any of them. Oh, and no music fandoms -- only fictional things.

If one creates a story, what is to say that it is not real, if not in body but in mind?

Hi, Lightning Girl!

As Writing_In_The_Dark has said this is a Ski Lodge for CBers only. That means you should only sign yourself up. No worries, just sign yourself up instead! I didn't figure out what a Ski Lodge was for months.

Name: themysticw0lf (nickname is Nox) 

Pronouns: she/they

Appearance: Raven-black hair, with silvery streaks. A galaxy of purple-blue light around my head. Three galaxy bracelets, linked by a single chain, fit both of my wrists, one is blue, the other purple. My skin is pale white- so white it is quite literally as white as a paper. My eyes are one- purple-blue, the other obsidian black. I wear a crop top, nothing too revealing though, and black denim shorts. I go barefoot, but carry an obisidan dagger, a carved obsidian bow, and a leather quiver of obsidian daggers. However, they are enchanted so that they will only work for me, otherwise the arrow will not budge. 

Personality: Shy but sweet. Kind but quiet. Barely shares anything, though I'm very observative. Has ADHD, can easily get sidetracked. Sometimes guilttrips people by accident. An empath. Is competitive. Is also a perfectionist. 

Skills: I'm very observative, and pretty good with a bow and a dagger. I can easily make links. I'm very creative. I'm street-smart. I will not fight unless you attack me first. 

Fandoms/characters/places/etc. You want to see featured*: Camp Half-Blood, Annabeth Chase, Percy Jackson, Hogwarts, Harry Potter, Hermione Granger (I will most likely say 'books don't teach you everything' just to see her reaction)
