@overcomer Yes, I am. Hopefully for some time. 🙂 I need to get my word score up.
@jess Thanks for writing with me. Yes, it’s grapes. (We don’t have crazy plants here in Australia) *dignified sniff* just kidding. We actually do have some weird plants and I’m sure I haven’t seen half of them. 🙂 -

It’s supposed to look like googly eyes. 😉

@Daeus ARE YOU CONCEDING THE SUPERIORITY OF MY ARGUMENT. O.o *trails off into evil cackling*

Fiction is real life!

I’m not listening to you anymore!

Well yeah… in real life. XD

Ah! *hides from the severity*
And I’m of the coach stereotype if I’m not mistaken.
And my fencing coach was awesome.
So I gues that means you’re wrong. *looks at my logic* Yes, I think I proved that sufficiently. Coaches are great.

Murtagh was actually my favorite character
Well good. You’re not totally without hope then. 😉
Roran does get better— now that you reminded me of how muddy his beginning as a hero was, I remember disliking him intensely as well. His journey was interesting; not a typical one. Finish the series, then tell me what you thought.
And I don’t…[Read more]

I’ve also heard they might do a tv series. My friend had the idea (the super fantastic idea) that they should end each series by doing a full length movie just showing the battles at the end.

Well, mainly he doesn’t interact as much. He had a lot of internal monologue, of which I am one of the greatest sceptics even though I use…[Read more] -

@overcomer & @jess I can write too. 🙂

@Mark-Kamibaya Murtagh. You’re probably talking about Murtagh. Excellent choice. 😉
And as for diagnosing your problem, it’s probably just a question of what kind of reader you are. There are two types of readers (and incidentally two types of writers). Those who care most about the characters and relationships and subtext, and those who care…[Read more]

@Daeus wow, really. I thought you would like Roran for sure. Oromis… I hate Oromis. 😛 I guess it’s just a matter of taste.
Yeah, I know what you mean. It’s sad too, because he was homeschooled. 🙁
Come to think of it, none of the elves really did much for me. They just kept getting weirder and weirder… I do like Orik though. 😀

Daeus replied to the topic Why Paolini works (or doesn't) in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 10 months ago
I don’t like Roran. I thought I would at first, but then when he actually became a MC, I was like, “blah”. He, Sloan, and Katrina are the worst characters in my opinion. And Brom was terrible to begin with, but after a few chapters I started to like him.
That cripple rider, Orimis I think his name is, is probably my favorite character so…[Read more]

ACK!! MOST LOVELY TOPIC IN THE HISTORY OF EVER!!! *devours it*
I have been waiting for a chance to go off on this for AGES. Thank you, @Daeus! *thunderous applause*Okay. So yeah. I basically agree with all your points. I have a love/hate relationship with the Inheritance Cycle. There were some really, really awesome elements, and then there…[Read more]

Alright @emma-flournoy, I’ll have my eyes peeled for this mystery person.
Right now I was thinking either Sloan or Katrina for my favorite.
*Patiently waits*

Daeus started the topic Why Paolini works (or doesn't) in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 10 months ago
I got curious recently and decided to read the inheritance cycle since a friend of mine said they were his favorite books.
Paolini’s interesting.
In some ways, he seems amateur. I wonder what type of editor he had to let some of his bad style slip past (I’m very cynical about editors). At the same time, though, not only do I want to finish the…[Read more]

@hannah-krynicki
I actually was just in England this summer! I have some British friends, who I’m sure would be happy to help you out. Also, I do know a bit about British culture and accents (I’ve done British accents for some plays before), and I’d be happy to answer any questions that I can answer. 🙂 -

@Emma-Flournoy Indeed. 😀 I still won’t swim in the ocean though; I’m a bit paranoid about sharks. Not really technically afraid of them, I think I’d be willing to swim with them in an aquarium, but I’d much rather stay out of the ocean where I might be accidentally mistaken for a meal. 😉

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Inspirational Songs and Music Videos in the forum Music 9 years, 10 months ago
@Mark-Kamibaya I like them both in different ways. Edge of Night is a great pensive, brooding song. Last Goodbye is more of a bittersweet triumph; sad, but not sad, because even though you’re saying goodbye now, you’ll always have those memories. *sniffsniff* I need a tissue. @Anne-of-Lothlorien can I borrow some of yours?
