*drags herself in and flops down in a chair with a wheezing gasp* People… I needs… help… I’ve not been on here lately because I’ve been wading through the climax of my story and that needed extra careful handling so I didn’t want distracting pressure (and it also took a lot longer than I expected. 😛 ). But… I’m here now. Done with the…[Read more]

@Northerner nope. My precious idea is mine own and I shall not share it. *selfishly hoards it all* I will be participating though, and yes, I believe all submissions get feedback.

@Ethryndal I’ll be praying.

@GraceofSpades2017 yes! We are. Sisters. *grins* And I’m older, though she may be taller. XD
Welcome to Kingdom Pen.

@Dragon-Snapper no no, you missed it! They weren’t hoping for themselves. They did what they did in hopes that the people who survived them could use it to make a better world. In faith, I guess.

And… I haven’t watched a ton of Disney, so I guess I didn’t have that problem. For myself, I can just say I don’t think I’ve ever related to an…[Read more]

@GraceofSpades2017 sounds like you and @I-J-Anderson would get along splendidly. 😀

Hm. Okayyyyy… I’ve had a few characters drawn, but never a scene. This could be fun. Hmmm… Okayyyy… I’ve got one. Two characters first:
Harold. Nineteen, tall, somewhat lanky, curly/wavy bright gold hair, hard face, flame-blue eyes; very intense and wired…[Read more]

@Daeus probably because no one else was. XD

@Daeus *chokes* Got it. Point taken. I see what you’re saying. 😛

@Daeus *smirks* Point taken.

Oh, and did you notice that the Lies that began both Cassian’s and Jyn’s arc are both passive? For the theme’s sake that was necessary, as they were learning to stand up and do something in the name of hope. That was the whole point.

*tips her hat to you for taking the unpopular opinion*
@Daeus all fair points. I can see what you’re saying, definitely, and in some measure I agree, but it didn’t prevent me connecting to the characters. I thought it was kind of the point that they were all hopeless rebels without a cause. Though I will admit I was intrigued by them more than I…[Read more]

@Dragon-Snapper uhhhhh… uhhhhh… *gapes at you* Okay. *tries not to stare* Uhhhh… if you didn’t see it, no amount of my telling you what I saw will really do much good, but I suppose it won’t hurt to go through it just in case. 😛
First of all… Jyn’s arc. From ‘It’s [‘it’ being evil and oppression] not a problem if you don’t look up’ to ‘We…[Read more]

@Dragon-Snapper wow… you want the whole list?? 😛
Well, to sum it up, I love action movies with great plots, and I also adore movies with superb character and relationship development, and I’ll die for a movie with a dynamic, well-executed theme, but it’s so seldom I find even two of those in the same movie. Rogue One has all three.

@Ethryndal of course.

@Mariposa *gapes* C…colored p-pencil???????? *gawks* W.O.W. 😛 You are truly talented.

@Mariposa welcome to the Kingdom! 😀 😀 😀 Dinosaurs are fascinating. I prefer dragons myself (as you can see, I am one. 😉 ) but dinosaurs are the next best thing.
And your art is really good. What medium do you use?

@Mark-Kamibaya I know. 😛 One tiny bit over the limit and my brain is guaranteed to be fried for the rest of the day. XD
Hey, it’s all good. It wasn’t irritating; or if it was I didn’t notice. I’m not thin-skinned enough to be irritated by other people’s strongly stated opinions. 😉 Perhaps I should be more sensible of that… 😛
Share it with us…[Read more]

@Dragon-Snapper what @FeedingMyGoldfish said. 😀
I’m afraid I know next to nothing about singing at all— I just love to do it and so I do, and I’ve learned along the way. I did look up a few tutorials on breath control starting out, but otherwise it’s all just been trial and error— and practice. *evil smile*
I guess if I had one piece of…[Read more]

@Mark-Kamibaya my apologies. 😉 I was also operating on a low battery when I wrote that, so it’s probably not as clear as it could have been.
You got it though. And you’re right, I didn’t realize that was what you’re saying, and if that’s the case there’s no debate, because I totally agree. 😛

@Mark-Kamibaya I couldn’t disagree more. Excuse me. *slightly embarrassed cough*
That is, the article is well written and makes some really good points in support of it’s perspective.
It’s just the perspective I disagree with.

The article is perfect if story material is to be derived only from studying other stories, and if the only test of a…[Read more]
