@Christi-Eaton Why you—you—you SWEETHEART! Agh, I’m sorry to have blown your cover if you wanted it secret, but I can’t say I’m sorry I know. 😛 You are too nice!!
@Spradlin Thanks. <3 You should have been a superhero long ago, and I already consider you one. 🙂

DelightInLife replied to the topic How naming affects characterization in the forum Characters 7 years, 8 months ago
@jenali @dragon-snapper I totally agree! I really like J and L names for heroes. Lately I’ve been noticing that I have a lot of J & L names in my WIP…so I might need to pay a bit more attention to that. 🙂
Meanings of names are also SUPER important to me. I always look up any name I like for a character to see what it means first, because…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy It was definitely well-deserved! We’re lucky to have you, superhero. 😀 But actually, it’s @christi-eaton you should be thanking. She’s the one who wrote it. 😉 A down-right gift for encouragement, that one has.

You deserve it because you are such a sweetheart yourself. <3 Whether you knew or not, I didn't care, I just love finding ways to make people's days. It gives me an exciting purpose. 🙂 But it also helps that KP has just wonderful people that I love so much and I can shower them with that love even if they never know 😉-
*crushes you in hug* <3 <3 <3 I. love. nice. people.
Btw, Kate told me about the role you got for Beauty and the Beast; I *sheepish grin* can't quite remember who it was…some lady. 😛 Was it the one you wanted, the drunk bandit?-
I like nice people too, (and you are one of them)
No, not the drunk bandit, 🙁 but I’m playing Mme. Claudet, who is a boutique owner. Basically, her main goal is to get the Gaston character to love her, which requires an excessive amount of flirting, and our Gaston character (I can’t remember his name off the top of my head) is being played by my…[Read more]

I rhymed? That was completely unintentional! That’s cool that you picked up on that, because I am obviously oblivious to it. Where did I end up rhyming? 🙂
Oh! That’s sweet that she has the same name! 🙂@Gabrielle

@Christi-Eaton That’s awesome!! I can imagine people were impressed.
When you audition then, you do an act of your own choosing, AND you try one of their characters?Whew, I’d have liked to see you do that. 😀
-
@emma-flournoy
Yeah, it was a pretty intense monologue.And yes, we started with a basic audition of a one-minute monologue, and then afterwards we have call back where we are grouped with other actors to just cold read from the script.

Cool.

I’M STILL WAITING FOR THE FREAKING CAST LIST!!!! AHHHHH!!! It’s “supposed” to come out today, (but it never comes the day they say :/ ) I probably won’t get Belle though, there are a lot of girls with way more talent than I who could play her. I did a cold read for a singing, drunk bandit and in all honesty, I would be perfectly…[Read more]-
But I was told I totally killed when I did my audition monologue, and that was really encouraging to hear. Especially since I wrote it and it’s nice to hear when they like both what you wrote and your acting. (my monologue gave me a lot of feelings actually because I wrote it as one of my characters)
I’ll let you know who I get when I find the…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy in case you are interested this is what I wrote and performed. One time I was practicing it and got so much into Beck’s head that I actually started shaking. I had to quit because I got so into it. Beck is probably one of my favorite character’s I’ve ever written (she’s based off of myself in a lot of ways) Anyway, here it is.…[Read more]

Oh my, apologies. 😀 I guess they wouldn’t let you know what you get the same day you auditioned, now would they. 😛
A singing drunk bandit…how LOVELY. 😛 A female bandit?
But yeah…I can see how that’d be fun.

@kate-flournoy again. I’m very flattered 🙂 I’m glad you appreciate it, I just had the idea, and it looks as if I’ve found a niche! And never, I mean NEVER, be ashamed or embarrassed of your art. Even if you think it looks bad, it’s still a step stool to get better. And your Cress is simply gorgeous! I love her tattoos.

@christi-eaton Ah, I see, well, I’d still love for you to, when you have the time and if you don’t mind 😉
@i-j-anderson Wow, Trajan is amazing! The face and hair are really good, though this is a very serious mood he’s in 😉 I picture clothes a little differently, but people have lots of outfits so it doesn’t matter 😉

Thank you so much for starting this thread, @I-J-Anderson.

@kate-flournoy I think it’s because he doesn’t even have an inkling of a notion that he’s a brat.
@christi-eaton Ooh! She sounds cool. Unfortunately, I don’t draw, or I’d try her.

Louise Fowler replied to the topic Character Art Exchange in the forum Art 7 years, 8 months ago
@christi-eaton Would you mind having a try at one of my characters? Your drawing looked amazing and I’d love to see my own character in that style, if you want 🙂

Louise Fowler replied to the topic Character Art Exchange in the forum Art 7 years, 8 months ago
@christi-eaton That’s amazing! She kinda reminds me of Lindsey Stirling (thehip-hop violinist, if you don’t know 😉 ) with her poofy big hair and her interesting style 🙂

Hey, I’d like to start building up my summer reading list! Going on a looonnggg vacation and need a few recommendations. So: good books? I like fantasy and the like, not a big fan of romance or horror novels. @graciegirl @overcomer @r-j-wordsmith @Rachelle @Dragon-Snapper @northerner @perfectfifths @Ethryndal @Brandon-Miller @the-bean @Julia-R @Gid…[Read more]

Ooh ooh what about Tales of Goldstone Wood series by Anne Elizabeth Stengl. I really love the ones I’ve read of that and they’re really beautiful fantasy and allegory-ish too. Super well written.
-
The Youngest Templar Trilogy by Michael Spradlin (not this @spradlin)
The Black Arrow by Robert Louis Stevenson
All of the Ranger’s Apprentice books by John Flanagan (unless, of course, you’ve read those)
The Brotherband Chronicles by John Flanagan
In Search of Honor by Donnalynn Hess
The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin
The Hero’s Guide to Saving…[Read more]-
@dragon-snapper LOL. Ironically enough, my favorite genre to write is medieval fantasy.
-
@spradlin Haha! That is too funny!
-
-
-
The Space trilogy by Paul Regnier and A Time to Die trilogy by Nadine Brandes.
-
-
And another thought that I just had would be: Orphan’s Song (Gillian Bronte Adams), or A Wish Made of Glass (Ashlee Willis) – both fantasy. 🙂
-
Pendragon’s Heir by Suzannah Rowntree. Arthurian legend and historical fantasy plus time-travel. Also a great book in its own right. Be prepared for an authour who asks hard moral questions and doesn’t give easy answers. Has a bit of romance but even I (who can’t talk about romance at all without getting snarky) liked it.
-
-
I’ve got too many recommendations.
Ilyon Chronicles by Jaye L. Knight
Blades of Acktar series by Tricia Mingerink.
Finding Angel by Kat Heckenbach
Tales of Taelis series by Sarah Holman
Annabeth’s War and Captive of Raven Castle by Jessica Greyson.-
The Gammage Cup, by Carol Kendall
I just finished reading that a couple weeks ago, and can’t stop raving about it. Fantasy. No romance. No horror. Just a lovely, light read.
-
-
Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card. More of a sci-fi than a fantasy, but it’s a must read. I recommend it to everyone.
Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard is fantastic, though if you get it you should probably get the sequel alongside it and spare yourself the suspense.
If you’ve never read Little Men (yes: men. not women) by Lousia May Alcott you need…[Read more]

Patrick W. Carr’s “The Staff and the Sword” trilogy was a really refreshing fantasy to me. =) Also “The Scarlet Pimpernel” (not fantasy) was really good.

Can’t wait to check some of these out!!! I will have lots to read this summer! Thanks, everyone! Oh, and I have read Johnny Tremain, but it’s been a *few* years, so thanks for mentioning it! I think I’ll go to my bookshelf and re-read it now!
-
I’m in the middle of reading Virals by Kathy Rieches (the original mind behind BONES)… it’s so, so good! I highly recommend it. Just throwing that out there in case you’re still needing some more reading material. 😉

@graciegirl Thanks so much! I was anticipating that! 🙂 No, actually. Sir Malcolm and the Missing Prince is medieval but the other books are not. I have a couple other favorites that are medieval, though I am always on the lookout for other good, historical fiction books set in the Middle Ages. Thanks for the book recommendation! No, I haven’t…[Read more]

Well, after that semi-creepy thing, I feel as if I need to redeem myself.
This is Crispa, a character belonging to @spradlin(fingers crossed, I hope the picture works this time)
And this is Beck, @christi-eaton ‘s alter ego, of whom I have a great many variations.

WAAHHHH! There’s no Eponine in the Liam Neeson version of the movie! I’m so distraught! (I literally just finished watching it. Liam Neeson did a fantastic job, but there was SO MUCH missing…) And Jean Valjean didn’t even DIE at the end. WHAT???

Judging by the little bit I skimmed previous conversations, I have this to say: @his-instrument never read the book, saw the musical though and that’s close enough. I also like Eponine better than Cosette, much…[Read more]

You deserve it because you are such a sweetheart yourself. <3 Whether you knew or not, I didn't care, I just love finding ways to make people's days.
