Emma Flournoy posted an update 8 years, 2 months ago
Hullo peeps, I have a message from our historic forum doctor, @BlueJay, whom many of you remember but I can’t remember everyone who remembers her plus I’m only allowed ten tags so feel free to tag other people if you want. 😉
I email with her sometimes, hence the message. She says to tell you the forum doctor’s on vacation, and enjoying the hot…[Read more] -

Heh, good plan. I don’t like the idea of sequels by people other than the original author. It’s just not RIGHT. 😛
Ooh… I’ve only read/skimmed an abridged/illustrated version of that, not the real thing, but I’ve heard it’s nothing to go nuts over at all. Hate to burst the bubble, but that’s what I’ve heard. XD From Daeus, no less, among…[Read more]

There is one exception that I know of, and that is the newest (as far as I’m aware) Asterix comic. One of the original authors is dead (sad 🙁 ), and the other supervised two new people in the writing and illustrating of it. I’ve read it, and I think it keeps the tone and feel of Asterix, if a little different, because different people means…[Read more]

Oh wow, so from the sound of it it sounds like they actually…dramatized the different patients too. Cool. Yes, I know what you mean for sure.

Yeah…I dunno for sure. But at least he did realize.
“(saying this as if they were real and as we speak Edmond is watching over Albert XD).”
But of course! XD Seriously though, that’s how I always talk/think about characters and books I get really attached to. They’re so REAL, and I just talk about them that way. And I’m almost always imagining…[Read more] -

Wow. I can imagine he’d make an awesome Screwtape. *shudder* I was probably confused because I didn’t think The Screwtape Letters would be made into a drama, since it’s just letters, not actual things happening. Guess they find ways to do everything. ;P

AAAACK I FEEL YOU. :’o
Yeah, the last several chapters were pretty boggy and not cheer-inducing. And Edward. I know. It’s so sad.
Yes, the Danglars conclusion was pretty good, for Edmond’s part at least; showing how much he’d learned, albeit too late for most everyone else.
Yeah…yeah. Yeah ;P But then, you got to be very happy for him by the…[Read more]

D:
Poooor Edward!
Yeah. I liked Maximilian, he’d definitely be a second to Albert and young Edmond, but Albert for some reason had a special place in my heart.
I see what you mean, but I think he was also starting to realise he wasn’t God’s agent for exacting His vengeance, and that really, he should be doing anything at all. And perhaps, he…[Read more]

Yeah, I know what you mean. I almost didn’t want to start my next book the next night because I was sad there was no more Monte Cristo (but I did, because I loved reading 😛 ). I would love to know what happens in the characters’ lives afterwards. Franz seemed to disappear near the end, and Danglars, I wonder what he is doing now.
There…[Read more]

Yup. ‘Tis truth.
That does make sense. And NO! The Screwtape Letters by Andy Serkis?! Of all the insane ironies. 😂 That’s great. I have read it though.
Oops… 😛
Exactly.
Right, I know. As if suicide is honorable.
*scrubs eyes* Such awfulness.

@Daeus I thought Andrew Peterson too—he’s got his own website andrew-peterson.com, and then a community he’s head of, rabbitroom.com, which I think has a large following of writers with the same general worldview of KeePers. Which is nice. And from what I’ve read he seems like a nice personal guy who’s always interested in helping others…[Read more]

@SeekJustice The Sil is hard to get through in places, but I really think it’s worth it, so don’t put it down after being bored for a few chapters. ;P And you’ll be making quite a bit of use of the maps in it, too. It’s slow going, but there’s some good stuff in it. Whatever order your read the books in.

Ahh yes. That scene was good. Sort of. Max should not have considered suicide. XD But yes. I like his and Monte Cristo’s relationship.
*sniffs* *whimpers* *weeps* Poor Mercedes and Albert. (Yes, I’m just glad we got to see them again too. SO glad. Albert is not a character to be shoved off to the side. At least. Not totally. *scowl* Nor…[Read more]

The scene was good, because it showed Morrel’s desperateness, and how much Monte Cristo cared about him. 😉
Do we get to see them more?
Someone said, “Alas, how can I restore the happiness I have taken away from these poor innocent creatures? God help me!” And while it didn’t name names, Edmond is pretty much the only one that caused their…[Read more]-

No. You find the edition you’re reading, or one with the same number of pages, and every day you put in what page number you’re on and it tells you how much is left.

Oh yeah, I totally agree about Tauriel’s role. That’s exactly what I’ve thought too, and I’m with ya on not caring a bit if almost the whole cast is male. I really don’t care (frankly, a lot of the time I find male characters way more compelling), and females should not be obligatory. 😛
Poooor Danglars.
Well, yay for your friend! I think…[Read more]

😂 I know I sent you an article about them. I hadn’t forgotten. *smirk* But it didn’t exactly say everything there was to know about them, thus, it still may have been confusing. But I’m glad it wasn’t!

@SeekJustice Hey, good idea! Good question too, and I’d actually recommend reading LotR first. The Silmarillion is meant more for someone who’s already quite familiar with Tolkien’s world, I think. The books specifically. It won’t make a ton of difference either way though. You’d appreciate both more after having read the other, so there’s not…[Read more]

@Amily-Huddleston Yay for Faramir and Jean Valjean! Two of my all-time favorite characters as well. And Les Miserables is the best. My favorite book.

Also, @BlueJay said she’s been having a deficit of good ideas for writing lately, and if any of you have any spare good ideas she’d love them. She still gets emails when she’s tagged. Anything’s welcome, but especially ones more on the cute short story side of things. So just in case. 😉
Thanks for tagging me, Emma. How is she doing? I think about her sometimes (and wonder if she ever got my edits for her Golden Conch story?). Tell her hi for me! *waves*
Oh, you edited The Golden Conch too? I didn’t know that. That’s a fun one. 😀 I can ask her if she ever got the edits.
Yeah, I couldn’t remember for sure if you were around when she was but I was pretty sure. 😉
She’s doing well, as far as I know… She recently won best film/best actress awards for a short film she made for a film festival, so…[Read more]
Noice! Do you know if she’ll be coming back to Kingdom Pen sometime?
I don’t know. She said she’d love to sometime, but I don’t really know much about it. We can hope. 😉
Yep. 🙂
Here, her reply to you:
‘ I think so, but I will have to check. I’m still working on it, so if you want to send them through again, I’ll probably still use them. ‘
Okay, I will probably do that. 😉
@emma-flournoy BlueJay is Australian?! Huh! I didn’t know that…
Anyway, now that I know that she still gets emails… Can I pass a message to her?
Hiya, @bluejay! I’m Dekreel! 😀 We haven’t met yet, but I am aware of the circumstances, so oddly enough, I miss you! XD So, when you return, expect a greeting from me like we’d always known each…[Read more]
Thanks Dekreel. *grins* I’m sure she’s loving your enthusiastic response. Thanks for the story ideas too. 😉 I don’t know what she thinks of any of them, but if she says anything about ’em I’ll pass it on. 😉
BlueJay says ‘can’t wait until I get to meet you properly. ‘
😀
Oh, that’s great @emma-flounoy! She was the first person to welcome me, and one of the best friends I’ve ever had here. Please say hi from me, and that I miss her. 🙂 Also I’m glad she’s enjoying the hot weather, ’cause I’m not. 😛
@emma-flournoy.
Heh, I don’t enjoy hot weather either. XD Happily for us it won’t be Summer for quite a bit yet over here.
I’ll definitely tell her. 😀
Thanks, girl. 😉 @emma-flournoy
She says: ‘ I’m missing you too. I’d be happy to email with you if you want. ‘ 😉
Oh good! We were going to exchange emails when she was here, but my mum was ‘thinking about it’ and we missed the opportunitiy. I’ll ask her again. 🙂 @bluejay @emma-flournoy
Great!
Sure thing, I will. 😀 Thanks.
@BLUEJAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yesssss, you will get this message! I MISS YOU, girl! It’s hard being substitute doctor around here, especially since there’s so much ice cream going around.
Uh, writing ideas. Right. Do something about puppies. Maybe a man who’s deaf with a dog assistant. From the dog point of view?
Or a story about a…[Read more]
Woah. Um, @bluejay, I think @dragon-snapper just gave you the highest compliment possible for her to give.
An unmelted chair, AND phone, AND chocolate! Impressive!
Yeah, impressive. XD O.K., her message to you, Snapper:
@dragon-snapper *sinks gratefully into chair and types message on phone while eating chocolate* it’s a good life.
I really like the idea about the guide dog from it’s perspective.
I shall have to think about the pizza idea for a bit. 🙂
@Winter-Rose From BlueJay: ‘I like your ideas. Very cute. ‘
Aww, I was just thinking about her the other day. She was the first one who welcomed me when I came on here as a scared little elfling, and it was the warmest greeting ever. Say hello for me. We miss her.
I shall indeed.
