@seekjustice “Lost in the Stars” by German-American composer Kurt Weill.  He wrote a lot of operas and musicals in both German and English.  “Lost in the Stars” is from a rather depressing musical also titled Lost in the Stars, and since the plot was depressing I haven’t listened to any more of the songs, but that song is beautiful…and also d…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira i loved the Black Stallion years ago. My favourite horse book will always be War Horse though.

@rochellaine

Ooh, ooh what song is it??

@ariel-ashira I don’t dislike them, I just like other books better.  I do remember I liked the first one when I read it, but that was probably eight or ten years ago and I can barely remember it now.

@seekjustice I’ve been listening to all the versions I can find of a song that reminds me very strongly of your Stars books and especially Justice.

@ariel-ashira Yes, you should definitely read Hans Brinker!!!  It’s such an amazing book!!

I’ve only read the first Black Stallion book, so I don’t know to what you’re referring. 🙁  If you want to clarify I’m probably not ever going to read the rest of the series so I don’t mind spoilers. 😉

My grandmother had the same problem when she had a r…[Read more]

@northerner @kate-flournoy

Personally, I decided to hang around here because I don’t have enough time for two forums (though I do have an account on SE) and because the people who I’ve become especially close to are still here (*cough* @alia @rochellaine @jenwriter17 @ariel-ashira ). I’m sad that everyone else has gone, but I felt I had to choose…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira Ah, I had that problem about a month ago when I had to use a different computer from mine. 🙁  I ended up writing a little bit on a google doc and then giving up. 😛

Well, I know at least that the cliche thing that happens in half of the amnesia fiction stories where the person gets hit on the head again in the same place and it…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira I like amnesia.  I’m not so fond of third degree burns. 😛  I was going to give Chara some, but I didn’t want her to get scarred, so I just gave her some painful, but not long-lasting second degree burns. 🙂  It was a selfish reason, though.  Having her be scarred would be too much trouble to write about and I wanted her to heal qui…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira I’m still here.  What are you working on?

I’m working on some stuff with my parents books.  Is anyone on?  @seekjustice @ariel-ashira @alia @jenwriter17

@kate-flournoy Haha, glad I could clear it up! 😛  Oh, and I noticed in your post you were saying you thought we were trying to “prove our loyalty to KP” by “competing with SE”.  Actually we’re not at all trying to compete with SE.  The whole thing is about the people who left without a second glance and have completely deserted KP for SE.  Sev…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy I’m just popping in here to let you know that this whole “we don’t like SE” and “going to war” business is just a joke.  It seems like you might be wondering if we’re serious, but we’re just having a play sort of like the KP fanfiction.  Personally, the reason I’m not on SE is because I don’t have time, and it’s easier just to s…[Read more]

@daughteroftheking Kay would face her greatest fear.
Alex would have her secret told.

@dekreel Both say they would be recused. They want to be able to climb.

@jenwriter17 Kay is asking for the jet pack.
Alex wants the parachute. She’s scared if the jet does partly work it will crash and kill her.

@rochellaine Kay would take the medical kit. F…[Read more]

It’s been a while, I really need to catch up on this.
@ariella-newheart Kay would rather lead. She runs a secret organization after all.
Alex would rather follow. She tends to like someone to be there that she can count on and not everything be on her.

@rochellaine Kay would be invisible, her job would be easier and she doesn’t want to be ext…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy  You have a lot of great points!

@northerner   We have not vanished, we will not leave!

“What’s even left of the Kingdom?”, is the innocent cry, but much is left in our hearts and our minds, and though we be but few we are strong- and we shall fight for our Kingdom. Yes, fight for the Kingdom though most have left, fight fiercely with our knitting needles and golden retriever, f…[Read more]

@emma-Flournoy @leumeister Sure, that’ll be fine. (Sorry I didn’t reply yet, I’ve been working on some stuff… like that short story, and getting distracted)
Once you both send me the email I’ll go ahead and send you each other’s addresses. *dips bugs in chocolate* *eats bugs* *hands you both wafer cookies to have with chocolate* Glad I could help. :3

@rochellaine do you want me to repost your comment?

@leumeister I’ve researched a lot of the really old hand-drawn animation, including watching short documentaries on the making of Snow White and the Gene Kelly/Jerry Mouse dance sequence which I found very interesting.  I also have researched a little bit about special effects used in movies in the 40s-70s.  I don’t know much about the newer s…[Read more]
