@highfantasy Her lips curled into a smile, watching the flames consume everyone around her. It did not have the tinge of sweetness from her innocent youth but rather a malicious snarl reflecting the darkness of her soul. Let them brand her villain. She never wanted to be a hero.
@highfantasy “I smiled, and brushed a lock of her hair behind her ear. She still bore bruises from the time of her captivity, but they didn’t compare to what was left of our friends. If I had to choose again, saving the world or saving her… it would be her. It would always be her.”

Hey, High Fanatics!
We have selected our favorites for the AAPIHM Contest Mini-Challenge #1! Due to insufficient entries, we have not chosen favorites for the Mini-Challenges #2 or #3. Without further ado, congratulations to the following users for showing us how they express gratitude to family and friends in one sentence.
@studybunnies: In the tapestry of my culture, gratitude blossoms as a symphony of whispered appreciation, while friendships bloom like rare, cherished flowers.
@kth_disneyfanatic: One word repeated twice, like a verbal kowtow—or a silent offering of steamed fish, dumplings, and home.
These phrases will be featured in @APIRomance's API Holiday Celebrations Anthology. Stay tuned for next week to see which AAPIHM main contest submissions were our favorites!

If you found yourself in a high fantasy world, what kind of magic would you have?

@highfantasy Always been a fan of elemental magic! I'd pick water magic, since it's pretty versatile, plus it could be specialized into ice magic.
@highfantasy Because it's a high fantasy world, I'd like to have the power to access dimensions, unless there are no other dimensions in that world then I'd love to be able to possess absolute control over an element; could be any element - fire, water, earth, air. As much as one of these could cause great disaster, it could also be used for defense and a good cause. My second choice would be – being the greatest most unmatched warrior/swordsman to ever walk the earth, hehe

Hi! ♡( ◡‿◡ )
Hello, Hello all High Fanatics!
It's time for the Question of the Week, and this week, it comes from @Kaiddance :
As a reader or viewer, would you rather a long, epic adventure with a large cast and several quests in between, or an intimate journey centering around one character (who might or might not fall in love)?

@highfantasy tricky question. I, like the others, am somewhere between the two. The books I'm writing are exactly that - each book is an intimate journey surrounding a main character. However, each book belongs to the same overall story. It's a fun way for me to explore both styles of writing within the same series. Hopefully it will also make it a good read for others to enjoy
@highfantasy I'm somewhere inbetween. I like intricate plots, but not to long. I also like intimate journey plots, but not too intimate. The presence of other characters and their own stories grounds the lead in their world, fantasy or otherwise (´｡• ω •｡`)
@highfantasy Between the two I'd prefer adventure with quests than the two characters who might fall in love. If the quest isn't written like the quest of the week then it's fine. Although I picked that I like the second too but the characters who might fall in love depend on the pacing for me and just don't spawn out of thin air.
