My Google search history has probably been flagged by the FBI, lol. 😅

Help me with an acronym

In Project: Emergence there's a government organization that takes in kids whose parents died in particularly tragic ways as a sort of... Alternate to foster care. The organization is referred to as the Department of PEACE, but I'm stuck on what PEACE stands for. Anyone have any suggestions?

I don't have a full name in mind but consider words specific to your world building (cultural details, locations, political functions, magic systems, etc) and maybe make a list of them and see if you could incorporate them into the name.


Also consider the program and what exactly would separate it from a regular foster program, and keep track of those key words.


Here's some general words that come to mind for the letters in PEACE


Personal, project, projected, peace(ful/y)

Equip(ped), event, eligibility, exempt

Attained, access(ibility)

Contain(ed/ment), consign, constitute, condition(al), Child(ren), change

Writing Software - Ellipsus

Just want to share that as we gear up for October, I'm switching my writing software from just Google Docs to Ellipsus. It's free and extremely anti AI (two factors which immediately drew me to them).

So far I am really loving it, it's designed with creative writers in mind and due to this it has so many cool features I haven't seen other (free) software have before.

Also the formatting tools have been a dream to work with so far.


I've only just started using it and so I don't have a well-rounded review for it yet, but I figured I'd share this in case anyone else is looking to switch their writing software.
