Daeus

@winter-rose I’m in if you’re still there.

Maybe, “Spies’ Adversity”

@bluejay Sure, I could handle that. Enjoy your new position.

@bluejay If you mean that you would give a list of books to choose from instead of having anyone suggest them, that could make things simpler, though some people might be less interested if they don’t have that say. I don’t know. If you think it’s the best thing, I’m fine with you trying it out.

It’s also fine to retire if you ever find yourself…[Read more]

@alia What’s the central message of the story? What’s the major conflict? That should help me come up with ideas.

@bluejay Position requires tagging people for most things, having them vote, counting up the tally, considering the popular vote and possibly overturning thought that is discouraged and should only be done if the book is one that there is significant dislike for among the minority or is way too long or something. You also need to have some skill…[Read more]

@bluejay Aaaaaaahh, yes… Another book. Ok, so I’d really like to do another book, but as it turns out, my schedule is tighter than I thought it would be. Unfortunately, I just can’t handle a book club anymore. However, if anyone would like to take the position over for me, I’d be perfectly happy to see the work carried on.

I hope Rey remains just a normal person. I like that she’s a nobody.

@his-instrument I can agree that Gollum and Javert are both great bad guys. Not Kylo Ren, but still really good.

Whatever they do with Kylo Ren, it needs to be complex. Absolutely no way can he turn out to be a full bad guy. Something as simple as Vader’s redemption however would simply fall flat for him. I think his mental commitment and actions…[Read more]

Bah. It didn’t work. Well, you can see one of them here if you want to. Unfortunately, I don’t have the other one online currently.

@bluejay Yeah, I like it. Focusing on symbolism could make it even better, but it’s good.

Actually though, I wouldn’t call this one visual poetry. Visual poetry is where you write a normal poem, but the way the words are arranged forms an image. For instance, you could write a poem about your ancestors in the shape of a tree. Your one about the…[Read more]

Daeus’ secretary would like to post on the cork board that he doesn’t write on Sundays either. If you would like to write with him, please check in on weekdays or Saturdays prior to about 5 pm EST. Thanks.

–My Secretary

@bluejay You’ve done visual poetry!!!! (I love visual poetry)

I think it’s great.

@kate-flournoy OOOOH, the mask thing was perfect.

Ok. New statement. He is my all time favorite villain ever.

I — I…

…I need to watch that again.

Yes, the characters were over the top. That’s why I liked it so much. Not only were they well rounded, but they played off each other so well.

@dragon-snapper As Daeus’ personal secretary, I should tell you that Daeus usually writes a lot on Saturdays, but doesn’t write on Saturday nights.

@hope I like that version. Nice balancing of length and depth. I might just change a couple tiny things.

What else could he expect with it repeated in his nightmares…

A quest he never imagined offers him that chance.

Weigh down on his mind.

hovers just out of reach — the promise of the word…
