Lunar Inklings

@seekjustice Do that, and let me know what you think. 🙂  I was actually introduced to Studio C through KP myself, so I guess I’m passing it on. 😛

Chara’s doing okay, but I’ve been getting distracted looking up a certain Richard of England…

I’m going to do a bit more writing and then sign off too.  Are your arms feeling any better?

@seekjustice Yup! 😀

They’re a Mormon comedy group based out of BYU, so most of their sketches are clean.  I really hate that they include magic, Harry Potter, and stuff like that in some of their sketches, but for the most part they’ve got good, family comedy.

Here’s the sketch I was talking about.

And here’s another sketch, just in case…[Read more]

@seekjustice Yes, totally.  I was just trying to think of any possible arguments for the side I chose.  If I was arguing against Richard, I’d think up really good arguments for that side instead. 😛

Haha!  I’m only “contemplating” the story at all!  I doubt it’ll ever get written.  I’ve planned the premises for probably two hundred stories and…[Read more]

@seekjustice A great many kids revolt against their own fathers during their growing up years.  It is only with the sons of kings that it has such great consequences. 😛 (I am not in any way excusing rebellion against parents.  I am simply stating the fact that Richard wasn’t a whole lot different from a normal person.)

One thing I have to say a…[Read more]

@seekjustice I agree that the original versions of Robin Hood were pretty bad.  That’s why I said I like the opera and movie versions. 🙂

Okay, if you want to argue against Richard, I’ll argue for him.  I’ve just been reading his bio on Wikipedia, and only have seen one horrible thing he did, and that was the order of the persecution of the J…[Read more]

@seekjustice Yes, he does usually kill the king’s deer.  That usually is not the most important aspect of his outlawry, and he does it because there is no other way for him to eat, or for him to feed the people he is responsible for, (since he has many followers, and also considers himself responsible for his former tenants, the people of…[Read more]

@seekjustice Yeah, no.  I don’t like that version of him either.  In the opera his backstory, (as far as I can remember; I saw the opera three years ago,) is his father was the Earl of Locksley, and Richard went off to fight in the Crusades, and when the Earl died, Robin should have inherited Locksley, but Prince John stole it from him.  I th…[Read more]

@seekjustice Shame on me, but I’ve never actually read the original Robin Hood book.  My grandmother had it a few years ago, but I never got around to reading it and now I guess it must be in storage where a lot of her stuff was put when she moved.  So, my knowledge of the Robin Hood legend mostly comes from the RH opera and four or five old m…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Okay…maybe you’re not quite heartless.  😛  I’ll think on it and get back to you with the verdict.

Hm, John in love with Marion too?  I considered that.  I’m not sure.  That would be pretty cliche, though, wouldn’t it?  You have just one female character in the story, so all the men are in love with her? 😉  I guess that could…[Read more]

@seekjustice Well, I don’t like turning good guys into villains, but I have no problem with turning villains into good guys. 😛 So what I thought was…of course, first of all Prince John is good.  I needed a bad guy, so King Richard will be semi-bad.  I didn’t have too much of a problem with that because you don’t really get to know Richard as h…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 I no longer think @seekjustice is the most heartless character-killer here.  You are worse, in that you actually gloat over it, while she at least is sorry for her characters.

😀 My characters are doing better, I think.  I’m having a bit of trouble with the hospital scenes, since I would normally ask my mom about medical stuff but s…[Read more]

@seekjustice Haha!  I do, I do.

What are you working on?  I had a really weird and complicated idea for a retelling of Robin Hood today…

@jenwriter17 Hello!  I’m not even gonna ask how your characters are doing.  Not even gonna. 😛

Um…how are your characters doing?

@seekjustice How-do.  Sorry for falling asleep last night. 😛  How’s it going?

@seekjustice @jenwriter17 @ariel-ashira @skredder @valtmy @alia I’m back!  Is anyone else writing?

@Jenwriter17 I know that @Hope uses CreateSpace. 😉

Other than that: self publishing involves a lot of marketing. You have to get your book out into the world without any help from the publishers. You also have to edit it as much as humanly possible, and it’s best to get a professional editor to look over it, otherwise you’ll be publishing and…[Read more]

@valtmy Chara and myself do thank you from the bottom of our hearts.  Perchance there is hope for our story to be written without the tragedy of it costing us both our lives.  How does your own book progress?

But now, I pray you, why did you this harm to me, to make me intent on writing verses of love?  My head is filled with thoughts such as th…[Read more]

@valtmy Ah, a trying journey indeed.  Alas, but my WIP is neither smoothly nor easily written.  I pray you send some encouragement my way, that I may with renewed hope attempt to conquer a heroine who has vouchsafed to swoon at every inconvenient moment and to weep at the recollection of past troubles.  She is becoming a great trial and nearly ha…[Read more]

@valtmy Well met, friend!  How goes it with you?  What write you at present?

(Upon the chance that you may wonder from whence cometh my fair speech, I have Robin of Locksley on my mind.)

@jenwriter17 @seekjustice @ariel-ashira @alia @valtmy Anyone on?

@jenwriter17 I am not.  I don’t really have the time right now to be on another forum besides this one. 😉  But I go on there sometimes just to read articles or forum posts, because I know a lot of the people there. 😀

Really?  Which books were those?  What exactly didn’t you like about them? (I know absolutely nothing abut Cre…[Read more]
