@DAEUS! *groans* You ruined it! *sobs* And Hamlet isn’t even my favorite either. *oceans of tears*
*goes to console herself by reading Henry V for the eighteenth time*(Hilarious, by the way. 😀 )

I pretty much agree with everyone else. I’m hoping to be able to both detect theme in works of literature and incorporate theme skilfully into my own writing.

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Discussion for Video Seven: Negative Character Arc in the forum Discussion Questions 9 years, 7 months ago
Um… can I do plays??? XD Shakespeare’s Richard II coupled with Henry IV— don’t know if you’ve read them, but Henry IV is the continued story of Richard II. They’re directly linked.
Anyway.
The negative character arc for Henry Bolingbroke (later Henry IV) begins when he is charged with high treason and banished overseas by the inexperienced…[Read more] -

@jess yes, finally! Another perfectionist! *high fives you*
@gabriellemassman Ha! Procrastinator’s block, I don’t think that writer’s are the only one experiencing that. 😛

Snapper replied to the topic Hear Ye, Hear Ye!! *excited peasants step forth* 😛 in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 7 months ago
Ah, and strange vocabulary connection I just made for school.
The word Supercilious pretty much means arrogant. The root for it is Supercilium which means ‘eyebrow’. I guess even back when this root was made, arrogant people still raised their eyebrows. 😛 -

@sierra-r I can’t…when and who was it from?
Terpischorean… I’m going to have to use that some day. 😀
Here are some more.
Legerdemain: trickery
Imbroglio: a complicated situation (or, for less formal matters, brouhaha 😛 I love that word)
Pastiche: a work that imitates or is made of pieces of other works
And I found this one very…[Read more]

@gabriellemassman
Hi! I’m Dragon Snapper! Nice to meet you! *shakes your hand very hard*
Ooh, I wrote some fantasy. And Tolkien is only ever awesome. (Note to Self: read poem)
You’ve been writing since you were 9! Woah…I only started about three years ago. Did you ever have writer’s block in that time?
Thanks for joining and I look forward…[Read more] -

So what’s up with the kingdompen.wordpress.com thing? I found it when I just googled for kingdompen and clicked on it thinking it was the .org site. Are you planning to like have a redirection link? And what about the content on there?

@daeus I’m gonna head out now. I discovered the focusing questions and five answers for all 5 (I narrowed down a few 😛 ) as well as supported some of them with Bible verses. A lot of bible verses. Thanks!

@Sierra-R If it’s any consolation, I used to be crazy about Kili and Tauriel myself. (Kind of secretly, but still. 😛 ) Even now I don’t despise it with everything in me…I just think it’s a little silly and gets in the way of other relationships (even though I still like some of the scenes). *shrug* But I think no less of you, at any rate. 😉

@Ethryndal You’ve probably already lost all vestiges of respect for me by now, but I just wanted you to know I painted that starlight quote and hung it on my wall.

Emma Flournoy replied to the topic Love Triangles— what the Classical Authors knew that we don't. in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 7 months ago
@Ethryndal Ah well, I forgive you. 😉
Maybe they thought it would be needed for the next king or something, but really…
Um, no. No one but Thorin should get the Arkenstone.
But doesn’t the Elven Crush trump all? Come on, she walks on starlight in another world! That’s way more important than even shedding a tear over the Impal…

Hello, Gabrielle! Let me be second to welcome you. 😉
I’m actually a fellow Tolkienite and I had never read that poem… I just went and looked it up and now I’m choking. THAT. IS. AMAZING. I have a new favorite. Thanks so much for recommending it!And your book sounds lovely. Welcome to KP. 🙂

@GabrielleMassman Good ta meet ya!
*gasp* I LOVE that poem!! Wow. It’s one of my favorites.
And Les Miserables is one of my absolute favorite books too, so yay. 🙂Hope you have a great time here.

@Ethryndal I’m real glad you’re on KP. You’re so fun (are you SURE you’re an INTJ? 😛 ), and I’m absolutely loving the LotR/Hobbit rants we keep having. I LOVE ranting with fellow fans (and nitpickers), especially when they’re having fun too. 😀
Not to mention you’re just…nice. I mean, about prayer requests and stuff… I love fun people who’re…[Read more]-
@Emma-Flournoy Awww, that’s so sweet. *wipes away tear* I wish you could see me over here, smiling like a loon. I’m so glad I found KP, and all you lovely people. My family moved two years ago, and during that time I haven’t found a single person that gets me. It’s so nice to finally be a part of a group of kids who are zany and LOTR geeks, and…[Read more]

Welp, I’m glad you found it too. You add lots of loveliness. 😀
*hugs back* That’s makes me happy. 🙂
And that—
“Oh, and I like to think I’m a unique INTJ…not as cold-hearted as most of my kind…”
—works. 😀 😀 😀 Excellent notion.
Random question: may ask your name? Or not, for safety reasons…but merely curious. 😉-
Sarah Baran. *bows* At your service.
-
Ooh, what a Tokienesque last name. 🙂
How old are you?-
Hmm, Tolkienesque? It’s been called many things, but never that. I like you. *firm nod* (It’s actually Polish, so now you can tell people you know someone with Polish roots 🙂 )
I’m 15, soon to be 16 in July. You’re sixteen, right? I think I saw that floating around here somewhere. 🙂

@Ethryndal Oh Polish, cool! Well, Tolkien got lots of his inspiration from the Nordic languages he loved. 😀
Flournoy is French, though that’s not the only blood we have.Oh my, I thought for some reason you were older…take that as a compliment! 🙂 Yes, I’m sixteen, though I don’t know that that’s floated around here ’cause I only turned it…[Read more]

Heh, well, I might have been being creepy…I was going through and reading every one’s introduction in Start Here, and I think yours said you were 15, but that was back in May. So I figured that if you weren’t 16 yet, you would be sometime this year… 🙂 Anyway.
I thought you were older too, so the feeling’s mutual. 😀
-
Hey, that’s not creepy. Introductory posts are there for a reason. 😀
I figured it was something like that, but then I thought I hadn’t said my age in mine. Guess I was wrong. 😉Aaand… what state do you live in?
-
-
@Emma-Flournoy Haha, sorry, didn’t see this.
I’m from Maryland. *tries to think of something dramatic to say and can’t* Yeah. Maryland. We have fried chicken. 🙂
-

-
-
@Ethryndal I figured. Hence the tag. 😉 No worries.
How lovely. I envision Maryland as being really lush and green, though maybe I’m confusing it with Maine. 😛
And hey, who needs drama if you can have fried chicken.-
You’re actually not wrong. It IS lush and green. Lots of farms. Cows. Hills. Overall, a very underrated state. In my humble opinion. 😉
Aaaaaand what state do YOU live in?-
Ohhhh how gorgeous!
Oops, I figured you knew already since you’d been reading the introductions…mebbe I didn’t say there. 😛
Ohio. With…caves! In the Hocking Hills, where we run a cabin business in the treeish hills. 🙂 And the main tourist attraction around is caves/overhangs with their waterfalls. Very pretty. *nods*-
Ha, I’m so dumb. It says that right in your profile. XD
I didn’t know Ohio has caves! Maybe I should have… Now I want to see one. Especially with the waterfalls. *dreamy sigh* I somehow knew you had a cabin business though, so my snooping hasn’t been entirely useless. 🙂

Eh well, I guess someday you’ll just have to take a trip here. 😉

Hey, ya never know… 😛 😀
