@Sierra-R *sits and silently judges you*
XD jk.

I think I probably would have liked Tauriel and Kili better if the romance had not progressed so ridiculously fast and gone from ‘I hate you because you’re an elf and who doesn’t hate elves’ to ‘Do you think she could have loved me?’ in the span of half a movie… and ugh, yes. Thranduil just took…[Read more]

That’s a neat assessment. I must remember to pass that on to a couple friends. I got a 67. 🙂

@daeus Another vote for Dire Recompense!

Whew… okay. This took some fancy mental gymnastics because my protagonist is in second-draft-stage and still needs work, but I think I got it how it’s going to be once I’m done. The arc is one of the more complex ones, actually… disillusionment, so it’ll look a bit different. Anyway.

Beginning: begins with basic belief/hope that despite all…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy Nice count. I went through a couple of notes my dad made on my book and proofread my first chapter again.

@sierra-r I got 45, probably because I really don’t do novel writing, and because I have very little time to write for fun 🙂

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

@kate-flournoy I’m late, but I’m here.

@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*

Yo, I’m writing till 4:20 if anyone’s interested.

@kate-flournoy Looks good. It might be clearer to phrase the theme as “man’s state,” but that’s minor.

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]
