@daeus Love it! That prompt about the villain just makes me laugh. Ah, if only… 😛

I can’t see the picture properly because the monitor on this laptop is doing funky things to the screen, but I can see enough to agree with the others. It does look well done though, and *shudder* I’m purty sure I couldn’t do something like that!

I’m going to agree with @Sarah-H and @Ethryndal on the tone of the picture, but you did do an excellent job with the composition and balancing the colors. Good work also with the character’s reflection. Those are not easy! 😛

@Rachelle Fourteen book series! 😮
Nah… Les Mis probably isn’t that long. It might seem longer ’cause it’s all in one chunk; but it’s only got 1460 pages. 😛

@Ethryndal Ahem, read above line and be grateful. XD The Silmarillion’s only what, in the 300s at most?

I know though, the preface—his letter to his publisher Milton Someone-Or-Other I…[Read more]

You guys. Are. Amazing. Thank you so much!!!
@Daeus that is absolutely terrifying; I’m going to have to sleep with my stuffed leopard tonight to stave off nightmares. :’D

Mkay now, how about… candy?
You wake up in the middle of the night on Christmas Eve to unfamiliar footsteps creaking downstairs. Stumbling out of your room, you stagger down…[Read more]

@Aratrea Can a negative arc turn into a positive arc? If a character has a negative arc through the whole of the book and then, after losing everything and completely falling, could he have a brief positive arc (one that might be a chapter or two long) that brings him back to the truth and partial victory?

Wow, this is amazing Gabrielle. Hilarious. You did an excellent job with Sam’s voice. They pretty much already covered what needs covering. Thumbs up on characterization. I want the rest of this. 😉

@Winter-Rose

@winter-rose
First off, may I just say that I found this story very amusing!
For one, I agree with @ingridrd that the scene with his mom should be moved to another place. Perhaps after Sam’s tale and he comes home, the mom says “Start from the beginning”, and that would be the ending.

I’ll be there! 🙂 @aratrea

@r-j-wordsmith Really? Wow, I didn’t know that! I wonder if he was thinking like Lewis when he came up with the idea of a time-travel book to be like Narnia (of course, Tolkien never intended it to be allegorical) I like the Hobbit better too, but that’s probably because it is my favorite book. 😛

@Aratrea okey dokey. I will not be able to make it. Guys, *wags finger sternly* You be sure and ask him plenty of questions ‘kay?

@Kate-Flournoy Yeah, rather unnerving, I’m sure. 😛

*chokes* Well that was unexpected. @Emma-Flournoy

And I love that @R-J-Wordsmith. 😀

Potato in hand, she was about to cut it when its eyes blinked.

@r-j-wordsmith *shudders* I’d melt if my book was hidden beneath others.
@kate-flournoy Indeed. I’ve been trying for months to regain what I had been able to do before, write what I love, but I’ve been so caught up in trying to make it world-worthy that I’ve forgotten what I’m actually doing. I read through my old work, and in comparing it to…[Read more]

Okay! I think I finally got some stuff organized here. 😀

1. Harold enters a treacherous swamp to save Denholm, who does not seem to grasp the gravity of the situation.
Mkay, so I finally got Harold’s EIL somewhat figured out.
E.I.L.: that the world is worth being a part of because man, deep down, is basically good. (Note: Harold is a c…[Read more]

@Rachelle Ah, and you know Pride and Predjudice too, I see. 😉 (I think that’s the reference at least…)
I do piano too, and violin.

What, 2 movies and the Broadway musical?! You’re further along in that department than I am (yet. That must change.). Yes, it’s a very big book, but so worth it.

@Ethryndal You need support, eh? Poor thing. Is it…[Read more]

@rachelle Welcome to the land of the pen! Others may have beat me to it, but I never mind that to much. Ahem, welcome to the Bestistest place on the internets! 😛
Three novels! Woof…I’ve only written one, though I have written a half of another and enough one-page beginnings to make five chapters of beginnings. 😀
Again, welcome!
