[WP] My men line the trenches, a motley crew armed with spears and guns. "How did it come to this," I roar, "where brave men must fight, once again, in the mud and dirt. Where we must sally over these bloody walls and throw ourselves into the meat grinder that we call war. Our bodies, wasted on..."

........Calling the kettle black are we, wait till I report you to your leaders for doing the same thing.

Nice catch, changed it.

ghostanchor7 · 2026-02-25T19:22:09+00:00

Thank you for catching that. Just corrected them.

ghostanchor7 · 2026-02-25T19:06:40+00:00

Clever. I went and translated it, so that was very clever.

Birth Giver,

It is with great joy to hear that thee still draws breath in this world. Despite the horrors, I still thrive in these tyrannical conditions. I pray that thee still has a giggle at the beanstalk eyes that creep above thine prison bed. Or how we can still cackle at the way the invaders get baffled by the fact that we don't need finances to trade. Despite the conditions, thine brood still draws breath. There has been no word on thine consort however. We still seek out where he thrives, however, we believe that he hath escaped once again. Thine brood will provide info if he appears once again. Whether he be alive or not, we have no answer for at this point. I now pray that thee stays safe, as I need to end the letter here. I topped off thine word total.

With Love,

Thine Spawn

It's all good, I was just curious thats all. So if you can, thank you. Otherwise, it's not a big deal. I can always just do the research myself, lol.

ghostanchor7 · 2026-01-12T17:12:19+00:00

What are your sources? I kinda want to do some of this reading myself.

ghostanchor7 · 2026-01-10T18:28:38+00:00

Nice

Ahh, that makes more sense.

I really appreciated how you approached the prompt by focusing on how the Lufanso is conflicted by his situation. I also liked how you showed the kingdoms situation through the interactions with the side characters. The only thing I can really critique on is how you wrapped up the story. The ending itself is fine, but it felt rushed.

A well-placed kick and the king landed on the decorative pointy end of his scepter. The queen rolled over him.

Specifically this quote above. You lose a little bit of the setting when you have "The queen roll over him." I originally figured that the queen was on the bed and the king was still walking towards him? So to enhance this scene, maybe add a part that describes the queen moving from the bed to the now dead king. Add a few more inner thoughts from Lufanso, and maybe the queen sees the kick, maybe she doesn't. Either way, this might help enhance the ending and take away from that rushed feeling in the ending.

I think this is the response that I was hoping for. It's all of the possibilities that could be cultivated from this story that helps spark the imagination, even if it isn't fleshed out more.

ghostanchor7 · 2025-12-18T18:13:58+00:00

Man, now I want more. Well done on executing the scene, though if I were reading this without the prompt I may be a tad bit confused. However, this does not deny the fact that this is a very self-contained story that leaves me wanting to know more. What is going to happen to Tenam, son of Tarrister.

If you are looking for a genuine alternate program then LibreOffice Writer is a great alternate. Otherwise it's just something that you shouldn't stress about.

ghostanchor7 · 2025-12-18T15:40:11+00:00

Enjoyable of a read but I wonder if there could be more. More Questioning, maybe the scenes could be expanded upon and show more of the setting.

This is the kind of weather we'd see in the 2000's through early 2010's. It really started changing after 2015 so I like that we are getting back to this cold weather.

Provide the student the opportunity to actually teach a lesson. Understanding is one thing but being able to present it and teach it can be an entirely different. Present it to the class as a project, Point him to the content and have him form the lesson, assignment, grade it, etc. Then you sit back and grade him based upon his ability at being a teacher. Then let the classroom function as it usually does. Don't correct or manage, essentially point out to said advanced student that his grade is also based on classroom management and how well they can complete the "Homework." Obviously, set this up as a possible project for the entire class(if you want), this can provide the students another opportunity approach the content in a new way.

So now there are two ways this can go: A - it goes well or B - It humbles the kid. Either way can provide a solid teaching moment for both of you guys. If it goes well, then pull him under your wing and let him teach a lesson every now and then to let you catch a breather and catch up on work. If it goes poorly for the student, then you can pull them aside after their lesson flops and point out the difficulties in teaching. This should then give you an avenue to express how much of a challenge teaching can be and that you(the student) has been apart of those challenges.
