Daeus started the topic A Notice in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 3 months ago
Greetings everyone,
Our friendly KeePer, @Anne-of-Lothlorien, wanted me to announce that she is taking a break from the forum for a while in order to concentrate on her studies and other tasks. Hopefully, she’ll be back, but the break is for an uncertain amount of time. Anway, make sure you say goodbye and wish her the best.

Louise Fowler started the topic Tips for Writing Short Stories in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 3 months ago
Hi, all!
I wasn’t sure whether to post this in Short Stories or here, so… Yeah. Anyways.
I am wanting to enter a competition that’s here in Australia, and one of the requirements is for it to be no more than 1,500 words. Normally I’d say that’s crazy, however the prize has encouraged me to try the challenge.
I’ve written a short story before,…[Read more]

Mallory O'Bier replied to the topic Prayer Requests in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 3 months ago
Thanks, @sierra-r , @emma-flournoy , @winter-rose , @ethryndal , @jess and @clairec . Your prayers mean so much to me.
Also, I just decided that I’m going to play my guitar at his funeral on Saturday, and I’m pretty nervous because I’m a beginner and I’ve never done anything like this before, so if you could pray that I’ll have courage and play…[Read more]

GabrielleMassman replied to the topic Awkward Hello in the forum Start HERE 9 years, 3 months ago
@winter-rose Thanks for the tip on the tags. I would not have figured that out on my own. Yeah, I understand. I have a ton of Word documents, too. I’d suggest printing off all of those documents and putting them in a binder if you can. You might find that easier to use than one big document.
@Christi-Eaton Nice to meet you! Les Mis is a really…[Read more]

Daeus replied to the topic To Read Or Not To Read in the forum Poetry Critiques 9 years, 3 months ago
@emma-flournoy Here’s the original.
To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That f…[Read more] -

@Emma-Flournoy it’s a passage from Hamlet with the key words replaced. 😉

@Emma-Flournoy I am so glad you like that poem, too! I have not been able to get it out of my head, and it has been almost a year since I read it. It really has a wondrous message.
Ooh! What is your favorite Les Mis character? Not many people have read the book (and frankly I understand), but I absolutely love how the book develops the friends…[Read more]

Ethryndal replied to the topic Love Triangles— what the Classical Authors knew that we don't. in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 3 months ago
*lowers voice not at all* Of course I’ve seen the extended version. What kind of fan do you think I am?
@Emma-Flournoy Forgive me of such slander! Sackcloth and ashes are forthcoming. 😛
I haven’t seen the Hobbit in a while (a month, to be exact 🙂 ) so I didn’t really remember the Arkenstone not being with him, (capital offense, I know) but n…[Read more]

Ethryndal posted a new activity comment 9 years, 3 months ago
@Emma-Flournoy Awww, that’s so sweet. *wipes away tear* I wish you could see me over here, smiling like a loon. I’m so glad I found KP, and all you lovely people. My family moved two years ago, and during that time I haven’t found a single person that gets me. It’s so nice to finally be a part of a group of kids who are zany and LOTR geeks, and…[Read more]

Ethryndal replied to the topic Love Triangles— what the Classical Authors knew that we don't. in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 3 months ago
@Emma-Flournoy I don’t know if you’ve ever seen the extended edition, but there was this scene of their funeral and *lowers voice confidentialliest* it was even worse than their death. I bawled. I bawl just thinking about it. And I agree, it would have been much more satisfying (if I can call it that 🙂 ) if their death was more book-like. Book…[Read more]

@Emma-Flournoy All cheesy lines and triangles aside, I do like Kili. I agree, the whole Thorin Kili Fili thing was great, though I do wish they had developed Fili just a tad more. I think he would have made pretty interesting character, being the heir of Durin’s line and all. We kind of see the pressure that was on him, and how he was trying to…[Read more]

Daeus replied to the topic Character Arc-What's That? in the forum Characters 9 years, 3 months ago
@dragon-snapper No. His logic was false. It only applies to him because it was a self report.
@emma-flournoy You win a tour of the galaxy!

Snapper replied to the topic Character Arc-What's That? in the forum Characters 9 years, 3 months ago
@daeus @emma-flournoy That is NOT how it went. And that is an image that I will never lose, Daeus. Obi-Wan on a broomstick. Hilarious, but not true. 😛
(Daeus, thanks for making me laugh really really hard. That was truly hilarious) -

@emma-flournoy Ok, Obi-Wan has three statements there. Plug statements two and three back into statement one.

@dragon-snapper @emma-flournoy No, I’ll prove it! Here’s direct quotes from episode III.
Obi-Wan: Only Sith deal in absolutes
(about 30 sec later)
Obi-Wan: Chancellor Palpatine is evil!
Anakin: From my point of view, the Jedi are evil
Obi-Wan: Then you are lost *face grows ghostly and wrinkled like Palpatine’s* *cackles manically* *flies away on broom* -
Snapper replied to the topic Character Arc-What's That? in the forum Characters 9 years, 3 months ago
@daeus WHHHAAATT!!!!???? @emma-flournoy Obi-Wan is NOT a Sith. Seriously, we need another moderator to moderate this one. And Daeus, Obi-Wan is MY favorite character. 😛

Daeus replied to the topic Character Arc-What's That? in the forum Characters 9 years, 3 months ago
@emma-flournoy Well, the thing about Obi-Wan is that he’s actually a sith, but I don’t think you’ve watched episode III, so you wouldn’t know that.

Welp, I’m glad you found it too. You add lots of loveliness. 😀
*hugs back* That’s makes me happy. 🙂
And that—
“Oh, and I like to think I’m a unique INTJ…not as cold-hearted as most of my kind…”
—works. 😀 😀 😀 Excellent notion.
Random question: may ask your name? Or not, for safety reasons…but merely curious. 😉
Sarah Baran. *bows* At your service.
Ooh, what a Tokienesque last name. 🙂
How old are you?
Hmm, Tolkienesque? It’s been called many things, but never that. I like you. *firm nod* (It’s actually Polish, so now you can tell people you know someone with Polish roots 🙂 )
I’m 15, soon to be 16 in July. You’re sixteen, right? I think I saw that floating around here somewhere. 🙂
