Welcome~ At the moment, Kiwi is not active on Sylestia, but I'm sure she'll add you to the pinglist as soon as she returns. For now, I'll try to ping you whenever I get a ping so you don't miss out on anything ^^

I feel like I'm a replacement Kiwi right now. Anyways I think this is the line she was talking about, since this was the only one with a comma before the and.
"He was wearing a blue suit that made him look fancy, which hewasn't,(The never is unnecessary and a comma is needed for a pause between the words.)and his dark red eyes watched Tiocoldly."
I think she doesn't like commas, so doesn't put them in. So I think that was just her not liking the comma.
Also she is over her cold luckily, so that's good. Sorry if you were expecting her to respond, she kinda just ignored everything now lol.

Ah, that's okay!
I shall ping the group soon with a rough draft, partly unfinished, of my second chapter of fanfic.
I read it and it is very nice so far! The descriptions are very nice and I enjoyed reading it. I did find it a bit boring, though that may be because I'm very tired at the moment! Other then that I enjoyed it (Also at one part when they are saying in their head what the other one always said you put now instead of know. Not sure if that was an accident or put there on purpose)

Hey everyone! Just had some stuff I wanted to ask!
1) A friend of mine is writing a character with PTSD and I was wondering if anyone has suggestions to help make it as realistic as possible?
2) For Kiwi's story, Shattered Ice, I was thinking of starting to put it in the story section. Does everyone think that would be a good idea?
3) Also, I'm going to put a new ping list here. Please tell me if anyone is missing from it, thanks!
I personally don't have PTSD, unless you count controversial lucid nightmares. However, I'd say that the character would have immersive nightmares of the event. By immersive, I mean they feel like they';re actually in it. Also, some random flashes?

One tip I remember for ptsd is that it's not always violent flashbacks and dramatic things - it can be little things, like spacing out, temper flares, and withdrawing from people/the world.

Thanks for the info! Adding flashbacks and nightmares would indeed be interesting! I'll be sure to tell her!
