《Trending News (According to Narrator)》007 Artistic Penguins
Advertisement
Greetings, today I shall attempt something slightly different. Today’s TNTopic shall be done sans j0nn0! Without further ado, let’s see what Mr. Producer left for me in the Ideas Box.
Hmm, freezing kittens, glowing kittens, flying kittens of doom, and... flaming kittens? What? I think that this may be a box of magical kittens and plans to genetically breed them. Wrong box.
Give me a sec to rummage around the storage room in the back.
Black box, no. Roblox, no. Barrel of monkeys, not that either. Holy grail, I was wondering where I misplaced that one. J0nn0’s “stash,” probably shouldn’t have opened that one. Box of chocolates, delicious, but no...
Oh, here it is. J0nn0 really should start labeling his boxes properly. So the pending topics includes games (not today), reviews & reviewing (maybe later after the 3.0 update), flaming/flamers (whatever that is), and art. I think I’ll go with art today.
If you’ll excuse me, I have to get in character.
Greetings, esteemed patrons of the arts, I am your guide for this tour. Art, as a whole, encompasses a great, many things. From music to sculpture, food to dance, and, yes, even writing, there are countless ways in which one may express him or herself.
...The act isn’t working? Yeah, I thought so, too. Way too many commas for my liking and it sounded a bit pretentious. How about you just pretend you didn’t see nothin’ and move along with the TNTopic.
Enough about the sophistries of culture and class, I am here today to bring to light the art forums we have on RRL.
The art forums state this, “Submit your Art; Drawings, carvings, comics, poems... as long as it is art, and you wish to show it, this is the place!” on the main forum page so I guess my earlier culture breakdown wasn’t too far off.

Anyways, have you drawn, made, composed or done something creative that you’re proud of? This is the place to share it. Do you compose music during your downtime? Share it! We wanna hear what you make. Do you draw professionally? This is yet another potential means of advertisement! Just want to improve your artistic skills and get some feedback? Share it, there’s several active RRL members who regularly comment there.
It’s okay to be open about your passions (so long as it’s safe, of course), we don’t bite (except maybe for the monsters under the bed). Other than stories, I honestly just want to see the diversity we have collected here in RRL other than just writing stories. Why make a thousand words tell a thousand words when you can have a picture or work of art do it instead?
Even if you don’t produce art, you can still talk about it, then again, there’s also the debate and general forums. Eh, I don’t think I wanna get into an encompassing forum TNTopic today. Time to get off that train of thought. *Toot-toot*
If you’d like, you could even ask if anybody’s open to drawing stuff for you, though the thread could just as easily be posted in the requests forum.
Hmm… I seem to have run out of steam, but I’m not even on the train of thought any more so I shouldn’t need steam. Oh well. See ya next time, Readers!
Spoiler: Extras j0nn0, where are you? It’s so dull being a one entity show. I’d say man, but I don’t even have a body. What am I anyways? A construct of his mind? An empty vessel in which his message is conveyed? A slave to his machinations? Hmm, questions to ponder. No matter, things work out in the end. No point in frustrating myself over something I cannot control at this point in time. Now if only I could get j0nn0 to get working on NQaA again… He’s been slacking on his actual stories, that procrastinator.

“Aww, look how independent Narrator has gotten. Soon enough, he/she/it won’t even need me for anything. They grow up so fast.”
If you were wondering, no, that doesn’t say “Autistic Penguins”. Look closer. Seriously, people these days. Grow up already.
Hit it, DJ!

Ardent Tears
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge.] Youth is something to be treasured, for it is the foundation upon which all experiences are built. It is also a time when some may Awaken as Ardents or Stoics; individuals who can draw great power from the Resonance of emotions. Rowan’efrii is one such youth, but at what cost? This is the story of her journey; of love and loss, friendship and isolation, fortune and tragedy. What can a girl do when she is faced with all the wonders and horrors that the world has to offer? Live! In the Kingdom of Særis, a group of renegade lords are seeking to enslave young adolescents to forge them into Ardents and Stoics. Those that fall will be used in a war against the Azure King. Will they break Rowan, or will they turn her into the very thing that will destroy them. Ardent Tears focuses heavily on all kinds of relationships including: romantic, familial, platonic and sexual. The MC is a clear example of this, especially as she is poly. Because of this, I gave the story my own Poly Tag. This won't be anything like a Harem story and it is being written by someone who is polyamorous (me). There is also going to be several LGBT themes throughout which can't be represented through Tags. Ardent Tears is now on Top Web Fiction. If you like the story, I'd appreciate it if you give me a boost by following this link and pressing boost. Massive thanks to KrazeKode for the amazing cover art. And special thanks to MelasD and Selkie for the shout-outs.

Release schedule is twice a week: Tuesday and Saturday. There are six chapters altogether, ending with Saturday. There’s no Sunday.

Mateo wasn't a fan of the blue sun. It froze the air dry, turned the trees around into popsicle sticks, and it had to bring with it a horde of monsters with faces not even a mother could love.

After getting a hold of some–ironically–fire magic, Mateo had all the tools he needed to get back to his family. He just had to learn how to not die first. New chapter posted everyday from Monday to Friday.
