TheFantasyKings [2017-05-01 19:14:34 +0000 UTC]

We are TheFantasyKings and we are spreading Words of a Creativist’s Strength. Because we believe that a creative heart is the most vulnerable thing, and why most wither before what life throws at them is because they are weak. Whether you are old or new, recite these words:

   

· A creativist must be strong.

 

· A creativist must have the power of faith.

   

· A creativist must keep only the root inspiration alive.

   

· A creativist must always grow.

 

You become strong in many ways. You gain strength through practice, being emotionally strong, have disciplines, learning from the past or future headstrong self, through God. A creativist must be lucky. That comes from believing that everything will turn out great in the end and go on, then things will eventually become better. (But do use your reason.) The third point clears things from getting complicated. It’s very easy and very dangerous to be stuck in hoarding memory, in a creativist’s case, what things have inspired them. With time this list grows and the worry to lose those little things ‘that made you’ increases. Instead, you should keep the root inspiration – the book, the movie, the game, the experience, the feeling or the want – that maybe be one or three. Because that is the one that paved the path for you, what actually made you, all the others just come to teach something. And you can always regrow your list if you need. You must keep growing and expand your ground. (And stick to your one ground.) Don’t be stopped by the limited knowledge, skills or critic at the moment. You always learn throughout your journey. Let the words let you focus.

 

We hope you rise quicker from every slump you fall. And if you have any suggestion to make in these words, do reply.

l absolutely loved Havemercy. I also loved the other books, but Havemercy was definitely my favourite. Followed closely by Steelhands. Mostly, I just love the Mary Margrave and his child-bride farm boy. Your books were a terrible influence on me though. Every time l r-read Havemercy l start swearing like a mollyrat. (with words like "bastion fuck").

I just wanted to let you know that I think The Shoebox Project is just amazing, and wonderful, and one of those fics that I will honestly read over and over again because it's so brilliant.
You are very talented.

Hiya! I was wondering... Does it feel funny/weird/etc to see fanart of your own book?
I was really surprised to find the authors (you and Danielle) to be so young, only few years older than i am!

I finished havemercy just today and liked it! Especially the characters 'cause they were so unique.

Oh, and I posted this to Dani too. I'm just being curious... -.-;

I haven't been on DeviantArt in years, which I'm kicking myself over now. It may be strange to get a reply two years later, but it's strange and wondrous. I've never been an artist, and seeing fanart of the characters from our books is the highest compliment! I'd love to be able to read the fic ( sadly I can't ) but fanart's a different story ( a visual one! ) and I just went back through all the art under the Havemercy search. An indescribably blissful feeling.

I just finished your book and now will be drinking a gallon of coffee in the morning just to get to school.

...It was, well, worth it. Though now I have months to wait for your next book, and the Shoebox_Project to reread. xD

Like, much love for your book. -salutes-
