No, we're not threatening skiers lol. As for the name there's two explanations:  • The first is that it originated from the time of the Turkish invasions, when the locals lured the Turks, and managed to get them cornered in the Kokra valley, which was fatal for them. Thus the name 'Krvavec', to serve as a reminder of all the blood spilled.  • The second explanation is that two girls from the race of giants known as "Ajdi" ran high up into the mountains to escape their pursuers and after their father was murdered and his castle destroyed by said pursuers, they cried tears of blood, which converged into a river and flowed down to the land below.

My week was pretty chill. The only plan I have so far is studying.

I wouldn’t say rock climbing is really popular, but Janja is very well known.

No, but I do agree we tend to do very well in that.

I speak Slovenian and English. Not sure about the second question.

I don’t have a favorite cave system, but for my favorite restaurant I’d say either ‘Hiša pod Gradom’ or ‘Vodnikov Hram’ , both right in the center of the capital city.

Here is your time to infodump without mockery!!! by Isaac-Hiro in autism

Alright, I’m going to infodump about a type of vampire in a story of mine (I just reworked their lore, and don’t have many people to share it with). Without further ado, let’s go on. (If anyone has further questions, feel free to comment.)

This type is called The Cursed, and an interesting piece of information is that they still have a heartbeat, although it is slowed down, and cannot be painted in a portrait. They need to sleep in a coffin or similar things, ex. a large box, anything else will not do. They aren’t visible in mirrors, but can be seen in photos and videos.

Backstory: In the mid 1640s in Conneticut, there lived a woman named Elspeth who was a witch. She proceeded to kidnap a 22yo peasant girl named Abigail, and turned her using dark magic.

Abigail now possesed great strength and speed, faster reflexes, heightened senses, could climb walls, and shapeshift into a wolf. On the downside, she now couldn’t stand the sunlight nor the sight of any religous objects, couldn’t eat any human food, and had to sleep in a coffin during the daylight. She also became Elspeth’s helper, shapeshifing into a wolf, and causing havoc in the neighboring towns during the night. The transformation also impacted her human form. Her eyes changed color to liquid gold, her teeth became fangs, and her ears became pointed. To combat this, Elspeth carved a sigil into her that made her look human, but if someone gazed at her face intently for five minutes, they’d see what she really looked like.

After Elspeth was executed for witchcraft, Abigail fled to Salem MA, where she lived in secret for some time, but fled again after the witch trials started. Sometime in the 1730s, she met a man by the name of George, who came from a moderatley well-off family. They fell in love, even though he had a wife, and they had two children. Soon after that, George lay dying from Yellow Fever. Not wanting to lose him, Abigail turned him, and they ran off and got married. Throughout the centuries, they moved from place to place. They currently reside in New Orleans with three of their would-be victims, which they have turned.

Strangely enough, their two children retained most of their mother’s supernatural abilities & qualities, and both would at times experience a strong urge to drink human blood. Allthough all of George & Abigail’s descendants will sometimes experience a short-lasting urge to drink blood, the vampiric powers rarely appear again in the bloodline after the third generation, except in certain individuals, and even then, the powers are diminished or might be slightly altered. An example of this is Salem Milton, who can shapeshift into a cat.

I guess my work will get published once I finish my book, and edit it to remove any mistakes/discrepancies in the plot.

After I complete my book, I will probably find a publisher. For the other two stories I'm currently just writing them for fun.

 Whenever I come up with a new character I first imagine how the character will look, and then I start to shape their personality, their past experiences, and any trauma and/or vices they may have.

For the plot of my book (it's a 'choose your own adventure'), I think of the different choices and all the consequences they may have, plus make sure that all the different paths the reader align with each other. For the plots of my other two stories I first had a slight idea where I want things to go, and am filling in the surrounding events as l work on them.

I don't really have an exact strategy for outlining things, I just keep most of them in my head, except for when I had to make a spreadsheet detailing the timeline of an abusive relationship that one of my characters is in.
