Emma Flournoy posted a new activity comment 8 years, 4 months ago
Well, I think I liked Franz better first too. At the very least he’s more mature than Albert at this point, I think… ;P I don’t remember him too well though, ’cause he wasn’t much of a main character later on. Maybe I liked him better than I thought. 😀
Right though, that’s a good tactic on the author’s part.Merry Christmas. 😀

@His-Instrument Got it.

Yup. Franz isn’t bad, though he doesn’t get much more main. But Albert has many more large parts to play, and some of ’em are REALLY great. 😉 Do you like (if you’ve met him yet…I can’t remember if he’s come in at this point) Maximilian? He’s pretty sweet too, though has some slightly lovestruck issues. XD
Cool.

Heh, I don’t doubt it! Well, it’s seriously admirable all the stuff you guys do to keep this place in tip-top shape and most user-friendly possible. We appreciate it. 😉

@Aratrea Just because I’m wondering, is that side-line bar thing of most recent forum topics/replies gone forever? *mournful blink* It was incredibly helpful and I just wondered. I know there’s the the recent forum topics page, but that’s not the same as just having the current threads right for you on the side of whatever page you may be on.

@Dekreel I like it! Your portrayal of me is quite forbearing; in reality I’d probably be more cynical about the whole thing. XD But I’m happy that I’m in there! I liked the part about the letter from (or to, whichever it was) Aslan, too. 😉

Emma Flournoy replied to the topic Would someone please tell me if these first chapters are too depressing? in the forum Novel Critique Requests 8 years, 4 months ago
@His-Instrument What they said. Exactly. 😉 If you still want someone to read the first few chapters, I could probably do that. If you still think it’s necessary. The premise really interests me at least, and I know already I wouldn’t put a book down just after that.

For the record, I love Albert to pieces. None of the characters in there are perfect by a long shot, but he’s one of my favorites. 😉
Sweeeet. Sounds like an organizer’s dream, too. 😛 I love categorizing things in their own place.
-
Yeah, I think I like Albert, and Franz. They have very different personalities, but they seem like they’re best friends. 😉
Yeah, I love thinking of new categories and going through all my list books and putting them in them. A single book can be listed on multiple shelves.

Aw, really? I liked him a little better out of the two. But it’s kind of clever how the author uses Franz’ pov to get to know Albert for when we switch to his pov.
No, I haven’t met him yet. I’ll keep an lookout for him. 😉 -

I’ve met Maxamillion Morrel now. The author says we have met him before, and I may vaguely remember him, but I remember of M. Morrel’s daughter more than his son.
Merry Christmas! 😀

YAY. Luigi Vampa…has problems.
That does sound cool! I actually keep a manual account, a notebook, of all the books I read, and the dates on which I start and finish them. But still, Goodreads sounds neat. More than just keeping track.
-
Lol, I don’t know him very well yet. Now it’s Franz and Albert again and the Carnival, which just ended when I finished the chapter. 😉
That’s cool! 😀 Yeah, Goodreads suggests books, based on what you’ve read and rated, you can make multiple shelves (like Fantasy, Historical, Sci-fi, whatever you want, really). You can add friends, and recommend…[Read more]

Ahhhhh! Mercedes is Albert’s mother! 😀 😀 I knew we’d see her again, I just wasn’t expecting so soon! And I think she knows – or suspects – who M. le Comte is.
-
AHHHHH YES!!! Isn’t it great?! *sly grin* It does kinda creep up on you. And then it’s like AHHHH!
Yeah, Maximillian was there before briefly, but it wasn’t for long. You’ll definitely get to know him more.
-
I think it’s all really cute and sweet, for some reason. XD I mean, it’s sad that she lost her first lover, but she did move on and eventually have a family of her own after all.
I just read M. le Comte’s footman’s account of the assassination of Villefort. It’s a shame about the child, becoming such a brat. 😛
-
Ah wow, you have an optimistic approach. XD That’s true…*sniff* But it’s so…sad. It gets sadder. Do you know who Albert’s father is yet?
And I love how much Albert loves his mother.Oh yeah, quite. Just wait. All your threads will eventually converge and you will be thoroughly disgusted. And/or horrified. I imagine. 😛
-
lol, yeah, I love how Albert loves her too. And I haven’t made any connections, but I know his father is a count or something. 😛 But is it someone we knew of beforehand?
Well, the fact that Caderousse and his wife just murdered a jeweller so that they could have their cake and eat it too already disgusts me. And I thought he was a nice fellow,…[Read more]

“It was Edmond Dantes!”
I actually smiled when I read this when Morrel figured it out. And M. le Comte was right there when they told of it, and he was like Joseph, in disguise among his loved ones, hearing their story and trying not to cry and break his cover. And I’m like, “Just reveal yourself already, Dantes! It’ll make you and them feel…[Read more]
-
I KNOW!!! It’s so awesome and at the same time so horribly frustrating ’cause you want it to be out SO BAD. I love scenarios like that. In that frustrated way, you know. 😉 Poor everybody.
Ooh, cool. You still get to be in suspense then.
-
I just find it frustrating. I mean, I know the rest of the story probably won’t happen if they did, but in some cases, that would probably be all for the better for the characters. XD
Yeah. 😛
-
-
Oh yes, the characters unwittingly bring themselves so much pain and other…STUFF that could be avoided. They really don’t know what’s good for them, I guess. XD
-
Nope.

So, I’m 65% of the way through, and still very much in the dark (I feel). Let’s see, Villefort’s father-in-law has just died, and his widow, (Villefort’s mother-in-law) thinks she saw his ghost come to her so that she’s going to die soon. In consequence, the marriage between Valentine and Franz will be rushed so that she can be there, which makes…[Read more]

I had to make a character list to keep up with all the characters and their relations to each other.
Edmond Dantes: The Count of Monte Cristo himself. Has many alias, including Sinbad the Sailor, Abbe Busoni and Lord Wilmore.
Villefort: The procurer de roi that had Dantes imprisoned; husband of Madame de Villefort; father of Valentine and…[Read more] -
Bravo, that’s quite a list! Very comprehensive. I love it. So, you’re not totally in the dark…not about everything. 😛 Isn’t it all just a convoluted mess?! Poor EVERYONE! (Except for…well, some people, who…I find it hard to pity and perhaps don’t deserve it, yet who still are (or will be) in wretched circumstances.)
And yesss the orchard…[Read more] -
Haha, I guess not. 😛
Yes, poor everyone. I feel especially bad for Albert for some reason, because M. le Comte didn’t allow Haydee to say she remembered the name of Albert’s father in her backstory.
Well, when I learn it, I’ll let you know.
My least favourite character is probably… Either Villefort of Danglers, since they were meanies to Edmo…[Read more]
-
Hey, sorry to spam. XD But I’m just really excited about this book. 😀 I just learned that M. le Comte de Morcerf is Fernand (except I knew that already, accidentally finding that out in my research to make my character list – I just didn’t acknowledge it until I found out in the book 😉 ).
Albert wants to duel with Beauchamp because of his…[Read more]

-
AHHH!!! Now you just made me more excited!!! *big cheesy grin* I kind of hope they duel with swords, but from what Beauchamp said, they’ll probably be using pistols (not as fun, in my opinion 😛 ).
Well hurry up and sleep so you can fangirl with me! XD
I only said sorry as a courtesy, I didn’t really mean it. XD XD
Well, we’ll have to start a…[Read more]

Haha, I was just re-reading some of our conversation about this, and you were asking me if I knew who Albert’s father is yet. And now I do – Fernand! XD It kind of annoys me that Mercedes went to be with him after all, especially since she said she considered him a brother more than anything, but with her lover supposedly dead, and probably no one…[Read more]

@Winter-Rose There are a bunch of brilliant ideas on here, and I really like the thought of him decorating the house for his family. He might have to drive into town and stuff to get things or something, too.

Yeah, there’s a fair bit of jumping around, but it’s kinda nice sometimes because you wouldn’t want to ALWAYS be stuck with Dantes’ point of view.

I have to say, pretty much everyone I’ve tried to teach how to hold the violin and bow have been frustrating (including my mum and my best friend) except one, one of my mum’s good friends.

Oh, I have no doubt it’s a good book. But I may not always agree with the protagonist’s choices. 😉 Les Mis, though, I actually have lined up to read after Monte Cristo. 😀 It looks like it’s going to be equally as long. XD

It feels like the story is jumping around between characters. I’ve just been reading about Franz and his interesting night on Monte Cristo with Signor Sinbad. Except I think Sinbad is Dantes. Except I’m not certain. XD

Unfortunately that plugin was one of the plugins that broke the site a couple weeks ago. >.> Hence why it was taken down.
Eventually we’d like to get that back up, but that requires a lot of behind-the-scenes web work to fix that and allow for other features, and that web work will take a while to accomplish.
