I definitely suggest checking out the entire soundtrack, not only are all the songs amazing, but all the voices too

@selah-chelyah

I went into completely prepared to not be impressed, I was 75% won over but not completely until “Never in a Million Years” started. So beautifully done. It is sad that they changed The Plagues from the original because I loved that one, but over all it was just fantastic

@selah-chelyah RIGHT?!?! I’ve been humming them off and on since I discovered the soundtrack. Absolutely stunning music.

@selah-chelyah hey!

@seekjustice, its only 4 for me now and I was just about to get back on and get some beta reading down.

It’s called the Clockmaker’s Daughter. Not really new, but it was only out for 4 months in Ireland a few years back so I don’t know how well known it is.

YES! I love “Never in a Million Years” “Dance for the Day” and “Footsteps on the sand”

I’m leaving for now, but I plan to be on again later so tag me and I might come hang out and I will bring coffee and cake

I’m still here, FYI

anyone interested in joining me?

I’m writing a short  story if anyone wants to come join me. Also, would love to word war for 10 minute segments and talk about broadway because I found a new musical that is simply amazing and my family is tired of hearing me talk about it

Count Olaf is a pretty good villain, @erinramm. I liked him from the Netflix series.

I never really gave it much thought, but I guess I prefer the Moriarty from the books. The one from the series was alright, but I don’t even remember the one from the movies. He must not have been particularly memorable.

Honestly, I think I like the idea of…[Read more]

Really cool songs @Samuel-p-robbins! Definitely sound like they could be soundtracks to a novel.

Definitely a touching story. What can we do to restore what was great about Kingdom Pen in the past?

Thanks, @kathleenramm. 🙂

I have seen those movies, @leon-fleming, although I wasn’t thinking of them in particular when I referred to Moriarty. I was thinking of the books.

I saw the last two Disney Star Wars movies unfortunately. I skipped the most recent one. I’m not a Disney Star Wars fan. The writing is just terrible (and there’s no excuse…[Read more]

Being able to freak out an entire world of characters without ever actually being in the room? Maybe Sauron is the greatest villain of all time.

Darth Vader. Why did I not think of him before? Most iconic, in my book. He is also a good candidate.

@leon-fleming mentioned Sauron. I would say that Sauron is a brilliant example of a villain who distances himself physically from the story but is still very active within it. I often find myself marveling at this.

He acts through his minions, somehow escaping a passive role in the story despite the lack of physical presence.

Although… I guess…[Read more]

My favorite villain is probably Sydney Carton, but I’m not sure if he counts exactly.

And the six-fingered man.

Hmm… honestly the first one I thought of was Loki, but again, he’s a wishy-washy sort of villain overall. He lacks conviction.

Moriarty! Smaug! I like them too.

Mother Gothel… she was really good, I thought.

Captain Hook! Now…[Read more]

Welcome to the family! Worldbuilding is always a favorite topic. I have created some languages here and there, but I’m not a linguist at all. I often create a language based off a certain “sound” I want.

Do you like creating cultures? And do you base them partly off  real world cultures?

@devastate-lasting That’s awesome! Which DAW are you thinking of getting?

@Leon-fleming Thanks! And that’s cool you’ve written some songs too! And I can totally understand the struggle of finding the time. It’s definitely been hard for me to keep up with both music and writing.

And that’s great you’ve got a couple of my songs! Glad you like them!
