@Daeus Okay…it was something kind of like that, and Headstone attacked him after stalking him. *sigh* Not happy people.

@JadaMae You’re right. I can’t believe I didn’t think of that. 😛

@Daeus not a problem. From eight to now I got 724 words. How was it for you?

@Winter-Rose awesome! Tag me when you stop. I’m planning on going until nine.

@Daeus I am having internet trouble again but I’m still planning to write. Tag me when you’re on. Anyone else, feel free to jump in. The more the merrier.

@Northerner yeah. It was extremely poorly done, to say the least. I didn’t really have a problem with Tauriel actually— even though I’m a Tolkien purist as well 😛 — but the instant they made her the point of a triangle I lost everything I liked about her. It was just so not worth it. I still really enjoyed a lot of the Hobbit movies— Bilbo…[Read more]

@Daeus good point. Yes. Man’s depravity would more correctly fit in with the eventual message. *goes and changes it in her brainstorming file*

So I did this… this homework stuff is awesome. 😀
Theme: Man’s depravity.
Focusing question: what makes man good or evil?
Possible answers:
a. his justification
b. his position
c. his influence
d. his upbringing
e. the state of his heart

… and then spin that off into one big question that sets up the rest of the series: what makes a man’s hea…[Read more]

@Sierra-R I’m not familiar with the Phantom of the Opera one, but as for the Hobbit one— *gag* Please. Don’t even get me started. 😛 The number one problem with it was that it was basically a crush that got treated like real love to the exclusion of a love that had been growing for centuries. Now Legolas in that movie had some SERIOUS…[Read more]

I tried it and got a 70. What about you, fellow interns? @christi-eaton @brandon-miller

I agree with @christi-eaton, you should write an entire article on this, @kate-flournoy! I’d love to hear your thoughts on the love triangle inserted into the Hobbit movies, and the Christine/the Phantom/Raoul triangle in the Phantom of the Opera if you’re familiar with it 🙂

@Daeus The midnight walk thingy must be something not in the movie—was it nice interaction between the two? Because there was something kind of like that in the movie, only Mr. H was totally trying to destroy (for real) Eugene. Hardly a walk…I don’t exactly see that as a redeeming quality. 😛 Maybe Mr. H was nicer in the book.

Great poem, @overcomer. I echo what everyone else said, but I noticed a few things in the last stanza.

They flew off refusing me an encore
So rapidly their wings whirred
‘Til they were lost among the trees
And I looked after them feeling absurd

Maybe cut out “and” in the last line. I feel like “refusing me an encore” could be first so that i…[Read more]

@Daeus I can’t stand Mr. Headstone. I liked Eugene pretty well; but I’ve only seen the movie. It might be different in the book (or audio book).

That triangle was just so depressing though, how it went; for me at least. Even though it was nice in the end (for some parties 😛 ) the happenings were so insane. Do you think there were any redeeming…[Read more]

Authors seem to lose sight of what love actually is, and they play it up to be some big emotions thing because the girl is so beautiful and when he’s with her, he feels this tightness in his throat and his heart begins to flutter because she smells like pine needles! *cough* Eragon… *cough cough*

@Ethryndal Oh yes. That drives me insane. I und…[Read more]

Actually @Daeus apparently I can’t make it tonight either. :/ My apologies. Maybe tomorrow? 😛

@S-G-Dewey That’s really good. 🙂

@Overcomer I think it’s adorable and hilarious. It also has some flow problems. The big thing is probably that all of the verses seem to follow a different rhythm, which disconnects them and messes with the ‘oneness’ 😛 of the poem. I would say pick one rhythm and go with it.

@overcomer Very nice! I’ve been hearing birds like that all week, and I love it! I’m glad you were able to show that in this poem. 😀
