Yes, I think that will work. 😀

Haha… “speculations of American evangelists”? That is oddly specific. 😛

However, I do understand the mindset in the making these theories. I do believe that many of the political/social/technological/economic trends that are happening can be attributed to a giant conspiracy by the Devil. But my…[Read more]

@valtmy

I was just reading about it in Revelation 13 (in the actual Bible, not the speculations of American evangelists 😛 ) and yes, it does say either on the right hand or the forehead and that it will either be the name of the Beast, or the number of the Beast (666). So I guess if I make it clear enough that it’s just an identification number…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Personally, I have no issue with the barcode thing because now I don’t think anyone can say with 100% certainty what exactly is and is not the Mark of the Beast that is being referred to in Revelation. I think there are two ways you can get around this issue:

#1: The Mark is supposed to be, if I remember correctly, either on the…[Read more]

@rochellaine @valtmy

honestly, I don’t know how to get around that “Mark of the Beast” parallel. I certainly don’t want people to think this is some sort of “Left Behind” version of Les Mis (how weird does that sound?) But on the other hand, I think tattoos would be a very useful form of identification. I had the plastic tags in the last draft,…[Read more]

@seekjustice

I see. 😀

Reposting because my first post strangely disappeared…

I looked at @rochellaine‘s comments and just have a couple of things to add:

#1: I agree that you have to decide what names Jean/Chessy use when they think of themselves and each other and change the names accordingly when writing in their POVs but I think you are…[Read more]

@valtmy

Sorta…I’m writing an outline for it at the moment.

@seekjustice

Hi. Are you working on SFI again today? 🙂

@valtmy

Hello 🙂

@jenwriter17

Oh no I missed you 🙁

@seekjustice

You around? Don’t think there’ll be anyone else who might be…

leaving now…

@valtmy @rochellaine @ariel-ashira @seekjustice @dekreel @alia @catwing

I’ll be on for a bit, if anyone would like to join me. 🙂

@seekjustice

Haha thanks. Unfortunately, if I do pursue editing as a career, I would not be able to pick and choose what projects I want to read as freely as I do now (since editing work will become a matter of putting food on the table) and I don’t think I can do that since I am so easily bored and frustrated by many types of stories and…[Read more]

@seekjustice I’m back!

I read your prologue, then read through the discussion you and @valtmy have been having.  I like your conclusions.  I only have two things to add. (that I’ve thought of so far… 😉 )

#1: If they changed their names, Chessy shouldn’t even know her father Jean’s real name as a teenager, should she?  He has changed her na…[Read more]

@valtmy

I think that would be a very fitting career path for you. I’d certainly hire you anyway. 😀

I’m still waiting for P3, but since you assure me that it’s coming along, I shall be obediently patient 🙂

@seekjustice

Haha should I consider a career change as an editor? 😛

You’ve been helping me with QOD as well (even if I don’t think there’s been much to discuss so far thanks to how tediously slow my writing is) so I’m glad to return the favour whenever I can.

@valtmy

Honestly, all our discussions together are really helpful for my book, even if they do sometimes cause me to despair 😛

@seekjustice

Happy I was able to help. 🙂

@jenwriter17

I think I should be able to come on tomorrow.

@valtmy

Okay, that seems like a pretty easy fix and it makes a lot more sense. I’ll work that in 😀

@jenwriter17

I’m not sure that I will be, since it will be Sunday, but I might have time to chat in the afternoon.

@seekjustice @valtmy @dekreel

Lovin’ all the SFI talk going around, but I sadly cannot join you at the moment. 🙁 I might be on tomorrow, if any of you think you’ll be too.

@seekjustice

That sounds like a good idea.

I think you can have it such that this prologue depicts the second visit Jean makes to the store. So he first visits the store to check if there are available identities for him and Chessy to use and ‘reserves’ those identities (has to be a similar age, appearance has to be similar, father-daughter…[Read more]
