@adry_grace Myeah…procrastinators of the world, unite! Whenever you get around to it.
The distractions are calling my name…

@Adry_Grace nooooo! Discussions are supposed to be nice and long with lots of opinions… *sniff* Next time I’m going to stay off until other people have said things. XD

KeePers everywhere!

1,000 strong. That’s my goal.

I am thrilled to announce the launch of the new Reader Behavior Survey. If you haven’t already read through this thread, the Reader Behavior Survey is a survey I put together that asks readers detailed questions to probe into how they think and what influences them. “Why?” you ask. Well, these…[Read more]

I procrastinate. You all know that. It’s been literally a month. But I managed to finish my article on Antiheroes. It doesn’t actually talk about how to write them, but it does delve into the history, morality, psychology, and ethics of the antihero character type (I believe the blog post will answer most of Jess’s inital questions). And I’m gonna…[Read more]

@adry_grace I’d love some cheesecake too. Chocolate cheesecake… maybe some caramel. 😉

@Northerner I have no idea where my first post went. Here. Have it again.

Okay guys.
@Hope gave me a book with three of G.K. Chesterton’s novels in it as an early birthday present, and though I have only read one of them so far it completely blew my mind.
It was The Ball and the Cross.

Has anyone else read it? If so, can we please discuss how…[Read more]

@adry_grace I’ve never been one for dresses or dancing either, but I would agree that it is utterly amazing. This was my second year. Last year was Paris, and the ballroom had the Eiffel Tower in the middle. Before that it was Narnia, and you entered through the wardrobe and could have a snowball fight with Edmund and Peter as you came in. My…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy @adry_grace Am I the know-it-all now? I honestly don’t know, but I do know that you can get on the waiting list, and usually a couple of families can’t make it because of illness/traveling issues, so you’d most likely be able to go. You’d have to be all packed and ready and waiting for the phone call, though!

Oh yep, Elizabeth follows their blog pretty closely. Though @Adry_Grace, I’m fairly certain you’d have to get signed up very soon (if not weeks ago!) if you want to catch it before all the spaces are filled up… is that right @Kina-Lamb?

@emma-flournoy @adry_grace I just remembered, you might also be able to find some information on this website as we get closer to September. This is the website of one of the families that runs the camp. Sometimes they have an “event” page, and there’s some information on there. http://www.bontragerfamilysingers.com

@Kina-Lamb Can’t wait.

@Adry_Grace Yeah, listen to Kina, she knows more about it than I do. 😛 I’m pretty sure my sister Elizabeth got most of the details from that website.

@adry_grace You’ll probably find information on http://www.villagecreek.net

Muchas gracias, @adry_grace!

@Daeus @Adry_Grace Thanks. So then, the definition ‘anti-hero’ does not mean someone who is anti hero—against the hero in the story—but it means, anti hero—not like a hero in character. Right?
I agree, Adry Grace—the flaws they have should be shown as such. As with any character, really. 😉

Daeus this probably has a very obvious answer,…[Read more]

@Adry_Grace Yeah, that is weird. It happened to me a few days ago on the Les Mis thread, but I was able to post it later. I got the notification by e-mail—here’s what you said:

@emma-flournoy That’s a good thought.

I do not think that a hero is NECESSARY to an antihero. I think an antihero can function just as well as a character without a…

@Adry_Grace AGH, THE ROMANCE GENRE. Please, don’t get me started…
