@Ethryndal Aaaah! I’d forgotten several of those. Help! K2K2K2K2K2
That does look interesting. *lowers voice* I’ll share the admission, I do that too. With things I’m not required to read at least. 😛
Ugh yes! No, Saw…is low on my list.
Meh, can’t look at Anakin. Haven’t seen the prequels. I can imagine it though.
@GracieGirl Uh-huh, yes.…[Read more]

@Dragon-Snapper Here. *gives you Moooree*

Write about a tall, dark, austere 34 year old who always wears a long grey overcoat. He has a small shop in a corner of London, and his chief passions are in making feta cheese and belting out Baroque cantatas. His life is normal, until the 65 year old merry fellow who is dairy intolerant and…[Read more]

@Ethryndal Gah! Why are you so good at expressing my feelings. M-hm. That.
And I love that “I will help you” line. You’re making me remember how much I like that droid, do stop. I need to see this again.
I haven’t read that; what’s a visual dictionary? A…dictionary with pictures? 😛 That sounds simple enough, but…@GracieGirl By all means,…[Read more]

Write a story from the viewpoint of one of your siblings who enters a portal and ends up in a fantasy world where they have to cooperate with you in order to save the world.
@Daeus What an awful plight.

Cassian. For sure. But Jyn and K2 close behind. (Don’t you love Cassian and K2’s relationship? It’s not specifically shown a ton, but it’s clearly observable and it’s sweet! I ‘specially love that part after they killed all those guys in the square or whatever, and K2 apologized for hitting…[Read more]

@Ethryndal *appreciates Galen Erso with you and heartily agrees with everything you said*
And guys, you need to see this picture she drew of Rogue One. It’s amazing.
I don’t think I can link to the picture by itself, so scroll down on the link till you come to it.Btw @Ethryndal, was K2 your favorite? 😉

@R-J-Wordsmith I LOVE THIS. 😮 All of it! It’s hilarious and riddled with twisted cliches. Only ‘corrective’ things to say—here.
“Your Majesty” I said, panting for breath—there should be a comma after the spoken line
“My loyal subject.” He boomed.—same here—comma, not period

@Kina-Lamb Oh no, it’s not nearly so hard as talking backwards! *shudder* Once you get the hang of it it’s really easy. What you do is, you take the first letter or sound from the beginning of the word, and put it at the end with an ‘ay’ on it. Pig Latin=igPay atinLay.
Kina Lamb=inaKay ambLay. Emma Flournoy=mmaEay lournoyFay. Make sense? It’s quite fun. -

@Kina-Lamb The Hidden Hand sounds great. I recognize the name, actually; I guess I have heard of it, maybe we just don’t have it.
We have The Building on the Rock books. 🙂I’m not learning any other languages right now (though I know Pig Latin really well 😉 ), but I do love linguistic stuff, and I know lots of roots. I like looking at different…[Read more]

@Arella-Noreen I know Dallas, but I don’t really know where it is, so; yeah, you live somewhere in Texas! That’s fine, ’cause I wouldn’t know many other places there either. I think we were northeast TX.
@Ethryndal Yay!

Hi @emma-flournoy ! Do you have any ideas on how to describe an angry knocking on a door? I was thinking like a “Bang. Bang,” but then I thought it might be mistaken for gun shots. I thought about “Thud. Thud,” but it sounds kind of soft, do you think? It’s Turkish soldiers banging on the door of my great-grandpa’s house that I want to describe. Thanks!
Hey Kina!
You’re right, the ‘thud’ sounds kind of soft. ‘Bang’ is a little bettter, and I don’t think it’s too similar to guns, but it is very common. So…crack…pound…hammer…? Those wouldn’t all work the way you had it—the word repeated twice slowly. I mean, it would sound a little weird. ‘Hammer. Hammer.’
Hm. 😛 If you wanted to…[Read more]
@Kina-Lamb Did you find something to work?
@emma-flournoy oh sorry! I meant to reply to this. For now I’m just doing “Knock. Knock. Knock.” As I read over great grandpa’s story, I realized that the Turk soldiers weren’t really angry, they were just a little rough, so “Knock Knock Knock” sounds better to me now than it did before. I am going to add some background information before that. I…[Read more]
@Kina-Lamb Great! *high-five*
