Emma Flournoy replied to the topic Salutations, writers. I'm Xonos Darkgrate. in the forum Start HERE 8 years, 6 months ago
@xonos-darkgrate Oh sorry, yup, that’s basically what I meant. Are you male or female. 😛 So you’re the first INTJ/Architect (dominantly at least) guy on this forum as far as I know. That’s real cool.
Aha, gotcha.

Emma Flournoy replied to the topic The Time To Read Has Come in the forum Book Discussions 8 years, 6 months ago
@daeus Welp, I’d like to read it again eventually (probably sometime after it’s published and we have it…physical books are so much better. No computer screen headaches.), but I think I can go off of the last version I read for the review if that’s fine with you.
In which case, when and where do I do the review? -
Emma Flournoy replied to the topic The Time To Read Has Come in the forum Book Discussions 8 years, 6 months ago
@Daeus Ohh…well. *scratches head* Well, do you think I should read it again for that? I don’t know if I have enough tiiiiiiime at the moment…but… Do you think it’s changed significantly enough that I’d need to see it again to give an accurate review? I know that would be the best thing, but if it isn’t changed a whole lot… I dunno. What do…[Read more]

@xonos-darkgrate That is so cool. INTJs are one of the neatest types. We have several on here, though only female as far as I know. Which are you? For some reason I thought you were a guy, but I don’t know.
And I identify with getting more than one result. 😛 I’ve gotten several different results, and with a lot of reading and thinking it over…[Read more] -

@kballen Welcome to KP! I’m sure it will help you improve your writing. 🙂 How long have you been a writer?

Emma Flournoy replied to the topic The Time To Read Has Come in the forum Book Discussions 8 years, 6 months ago
@Daeus to leave a review then, should I go sign up in the first link now? Or am I waiting till it’s closer to your release date, since I’ve already read it, or, what. 😀

Emma Flournoy replied to the topic Political Intrigue in the forum Fantasy 8 years, 6 months ago
@Warrioroftherealm I looooooovvvvve polictical intrigue, and everything Kate said and more. AS LONG as it’s character-driven, because if not then it turns more into uninteresting info-dumps like Snapper hates. And I don’t like ’em either.

Emma Flournoy replied to the topic Hi (for the third and probably not the last time) in the forum Start HERE 8 years, 6 months ago
WELCOME BACK AGAIN @JOY-SCHMIDT! And if your work keeps you really busy, no one will hold it against you. We’ll just love it all the more when you are on. 😀

Emma Flournoy posted an update 8 years, 6 months ago
@Leumeister I could help beta-read Aquila now if you’d like… Or if you’d rather I wait till the next draft since you’ve already have some people on it for awhile, that’s fine too. I’m just not beta-reading anything at the moment (which likely won’t last long 😉 ), so I thought I’d let you know. Whatever’s good for you. 😀

Emma Flournoy posted a new activity comment 8 years, 6 months ago
@Perfectfiths Ha! I have little doubt that’s how he got away with not explaining it. 😛 Such convenience.
Good, good… As I recall (it was a few years ago after all), the worst thing, as in, just really really uncomfortable, about Perelandra was the complete lack of clothes for Ransom and the other human character he meets. *black scowl* It’s…[Read more]
-
Whoops. @perfectfifths
-
@emma-flournoy I just finished a chapter where Weston started having some sort of fit, and now Ransom’s not sure if he’s dead, or what (it was pretty freaky). I know what you mean about Ransom and the Lady’s nakedness, but I’m not finding it much of a problem right now, because the story isn’t going on about their nakedness (what I’ve read at…[Read more]
-
@emma-flournoy *having just read chapter 9* Wow, I’m starting to see what you mean. O_O The frogs, and-and Weston – he’s so creepy right now! I honestly think he’s meant to be the devil himself.
I’m actually wondering if I need to stop reading this (and I hate doing that). It is getting quite disturbing in some ways.
-
Yeah, at least the no-clothes-ness isn’t expounded on, but the very fact is annoying.
That’s it. Pfifltriggi is a hard word to remember. 😛
I cringe for you. :/ At least that probably means my memory wasn’t exaggerating… hardly a comforting thought.
Poor Weston. I don’t remember everything that happened in that book, but I think I saw him…[Read more]-
@emma-flournoy
For a bit, I honestly thought it was, but then chapter 9. I mean, it was a wee bit creepy before, but then it went from whoa to WHOA! in no time at all. 😛Well, he’s tempting the Lady to live in the Fixed Land, saying that this commandment, Maleldil secretly wants to have broken in order for the Lady to be separate from him (in a…[Read more]

Ohhh…no, I remember that now. Igh.
That’s a sound plan. *claps you on the shoulder* Dads are good for help. 😉 Especially book-ish dads, which yours sounds to be.
And hey, it’s been a nice conversation with you here, despite any strange subject material. 😛 -
Haha, yeah. I wouldn’t say my dad is especially book-ish, he likes certain books (James Herriot, Master and Commander, Hornblower, Jane Austin, P. G. Wodehouse). And he likes audio books a lot, but I think he just listens to what I listed. 😛
Yes, it has been a good conversation. I’m actually glad you told me about your thoughts on Perelandra…[Read more]
-
That’s funny, with all those books/authors you mentioned, I’ve watched more screen adaptations of any of ’em than read the books. 😀 All very good. Your dad has good taste.
Heh. Well, that’s good to know. 😛
-
Ditto. We love All Creatures, and we enjoyed the Jeeves and Wooster series, and I quite liked Master and Commander, and what I’ve seen of Hornblower, I believe I’d like that too. But none of them quite seem like something I’d enjoy reading so much as watching (I’ve read one James Herriot book).
So, it’s official, last night I gave Perelandra to…[Read more]
-
Oho, I bet you’ll like Hornblower. *gleeful grin* If you like M&C already…
I’ve only read the first Hornblower book and wasn’t impressed, but the mini-series is one of our favoritest things.Very good. *firm nod* Hope you’ll/they’ll not have a hard time coming to a satisfactory descision, whatever it be. 😉
-
@emma-flournoy *thinking I’d already replied to this* Yeah, I’d seen a little bit of the mini-series and liked the look of it.
You know what really got me in Perelandra? When he started calling Weston the Un-man. *shudders*
-
AGH YES, I’d forgotten about that. *shudders with you* Yeah.
-
I don’t what it was about it, but that was the real deal-breaker for me.
-
C.r.e.e.p.y.
-
So, what are you reading now? I’m still in Boxen, but I’m nearly finished, and after that I’m going to read Animal Farm (I know nothing about it – do you know if it’s any good?)

@The-Real-Kapeefer Eh, you won’t be a Bumbling Henchman for long. It only lasts for a certain number of posts which number I know and isn’t terribly long. ;P

Ooh, that does sound interesting. The name Ender’s Game is ringing a bell, so I must’ve heard of it before. Most likely on here. 😉 Is it good so far?

Ah no. 🙁 I hope today’s better. I’m doing well. The weather just turned lovely, so we have doors and windows open and the wonderful fall breeze coming through the house. We’ll be canning apples this afternoon (my dad has a big spread-out orchard on our property—it’s the greatest thing with all the fresh apples we get to eat), and I just started…[Read more]

Yes, read them! Great Christian fantasy, and my absolute favourite (so far) is Samara’s Peril.Consider me cryptically warned! I really hate stopping books in the middle of reading. I’ve only done that with 3 – We Didn’t Mean to Go to Sea, because it was painfully boring! The first book in the Zion Chronicles, because it had…[Read more]

Yes. I’m nearly finished reading the first book. My dad was asking about it this morning, like what the ship’s thrusters were, and I’m like “Well, we know as much as the MC, and he was kidnapped, so they’re not telling him. ” Dad said that was how Lewis got away with not explaining it. 😉
Possibly. 😛
-
@emma-flournoy So, I have finished the first book and read the first chapter of the second. So far so good, but nothing much has happened yet, except an extensive description of the PoV’s journey and his fear he was suddenly going mad, and his brief encounter with an eldil. 🙂
