Nice to see you again! Ive also been quite busy with school work so I haven’t posted much either but school just ended so I guess I have more time now (?).

To answer your questions,

1. Favorite thing you have written?

I co-authored a research paper on the Industrial Revolution I think is pretty great.

2. Stranded on an island. If…[Read more]

Hey, Life has finally started winding down for me. AP tests are in a few weeks and my robotics team just finished up competing in FRC worlds last week. I’m helping out with a one act that my brother otherworldlyhistorian wrote and trying to get sleep.

He could have kept them because they are his biological kids and he couldn’t bear to give them up. 🤷‍♂️

By orthodox Jewish standards though they are like fully Jews because Orthodox Judaism is matrilineal.

I’m a bit busy to do a book club at the m…[Read more]

cool, we play a lot of board games as well. I just got a new one called Arkham Horror that I think I will review next!

Thanks for checking it out I just put it up yesterday so it might still have some issues.

So Hello 👋

I just wanted to give my two cents on the whole Narnia thing (which people seem to be really up in arms about)

I was reading some news things and saw that Greta Gerwig (of Barbie move and Little Women fame) was going to be directing some Narnia material (can’t remember if it was m…[Read more]

So if I remember correctly from what are music director said then the Latin is sung differently because the Latin that you learn and speak in Latin classes is Classical Latin (what the Roman’s spoke in) whereas the type of Latin that you generally sing is Church Latin (what the Catholic Church uses)

I did listen to some of the other ones I think Nelson’s one about needing to be respectful to others made a lot of sense and I could totally agree with it.

The musical is not sung in French although it does include a lot of singing in Latin to evoke that Cathedral feel. I recently learned that apparently the Latin pronunciation u…[Read more]

🤦‍♂️

I just realize that KP are my post. (Not I made this post a couple of month ago)

It’s funny I was just thinking about you the other day. As for life most of my recent weeks have been absorbed by the production of Hunchback of Notre Dame musical I am a part of. (On a side note the hunchback cast album is amazing and I h…[Read more]

so 👋,

I’m Folith-Feolin, I am a game-playtester, thespian, robotics person, game developer, and avid reader.

So some helpful tips, your book sounds like something that would do well in the modern publishing market based off of some of what has done really well in the last couple of years. So about your copyright question anything o…[Read more]

I enjoyed the boy in the striped pajama’s as well.

If you guys would like another book to read set in the same time period of the boy in the striped pajamas, (ie about Nazi Germany) I highly recommend In the Garden of the Beasts by Eric Larson. It is a very interesting read and is extremely well rese…[Read more]

If you’re using google docs one thing that may be helpful for you to keep track of book length is to enable word count and set it so that it is permanently shown on your screen.

Another thing you can do is change the page size (in page setup) so that it is either 5.5 x 8.5 or 6 x 9 (in inches) as these are the standard page sizes f…[Read more]

Yup although a lot of my original response has already been answered by the things later discussed in the forum

The first dinosaur bones were found in 1647 and to give you a reference as to when 1500 and 1600 are based upon commonly known historical events:

1096 – The first Crusade

1337-1453  – Hundred Years War

1400s-1500s  – Italian Renaissance

1618-1648 – 30 years war

I really don’t think it likely there were dinosaurs in the 14th or…[Read more]

I’m saying 500 ad was considerable to recent to say that dinosaurs existed at the Sam time as humans just because well Jesus was born around 5 AD and the Roman Empire fell in 476 AD and as the Romans did a ridiculous amount of writing down things and were one of the first cultures to have written histories I think we would know d…[Read more]

Not a dragon 😭

Also this version would have aligned with the styles of the paintings in the surround area. Interesting right.

(I looked it up)

so the painting was not debunked as a forgery rather that it was misinterpreted.

This is what it looks like currently

dinosaur right?

(note the white line was drawn around the image at a later date when it was originally found (there was this whole thing about drawing a chalk line around cave painting back…[Read more]

I feel like the dragons = proof dinosaurs co-exist with humans makes some sense. I have not read the book so I can’t totally debate about it and the dragon and snake thing was more just something I thought of off the top of my head at the moment because if for example we look at Asian interpretations of dragons they are l…[Read more]

So I’ve thought about predestination a bit after learning about Calvinism / John Calvin in History/AP Euro class. If you would like me to talk about the historical aspects of Calvinism I can. (I like to use history to do apologetics stuff as history and literature are my main areas of study)

Additionally I was t…[Read more]

Okay so I just have one gripe about the dragon argument. Couldn’t they just be based off of snakes? Because Snakes are long and dragon like, 🐍 🐉 see very similar.

So I know I said I would respond to you on Saturday but I have ended up having less time than I thought (I’ve been volunteering to run backstage at a show this entire week and ended up getting sick last week) so sorry for not responding. I am still working on a response but I probably won’t have any time until Tuesday (th…[Read more]

Hello, I’m Folith-Feolin. (He/Him if we are sharing pronouns) I will be a high school junior next year and am the weird combo between a theater kid, a robotics kid, and model UN kid. (Also I do Quizbowl (I’m a lit/music player) I can say I am also a devoted Harry Potter person. I think my current favorite book is the Blade Its…[Read more]

Okay, I managed to catch a short break in what is the crazy schedule of this week.

Hello, Im Folith-Feolin (obviously this is a pen name). I enjoy writing dark fantasy/sci-fi, participating in theatrical productions (I generally do acting or help with lights), modeling UN, robotics, literature, and history. I am currently working on…[Read more]

I really found what you said quite interesting. If you want to know why I asked you about this the I came across the video by watching some stuff and was like I really want to know what ArcaneAxiom would have to say about this and if he was incorrect about anything or if Arcaneaxium might have some interesting stuff to say on it.…[Read more]

I think you are exactly right about needing to approach gender issues lovingly and gently. I feel that in my experiences sharing the gospel with those populations you first have to get to know them as a person before you can actually talk to them about the gospel (if that makes sense?).

Radical

sorry KP is weird sometimes.

hmm interesting discussion in terms of technology, schooling, christians.

So in terms of technology I agree with the arguments previously mentioned by thearcaneaxiom keilah-h and orangearmadillo. In addition though technically has been very helpful in the spread of the gospel in areas that are hostile toward…[Read more]

I (and OtherworldlyHistorian) have experienced a bit of the opposite experience as in we need rules (or create them) in order to function best creatively. (Hence the chapter-by-chapter outline) However even with rules you have to realize that you have to be willing to change things. I think what may have happened also is that you…[Read more]

This seems like a fun idea maybe since I have more time over the summer I can try it out.

I mostly use python, JS and HTML although I am taking a class on Java next year. I mostly use my programming for my classes (ie Ap compsci) for computer security (white hat hacking). I’m also on my schools robotics team (we made it to worlds last season) so even though I’m on the build team I’m trying to lead Java so that I can r…[Read more]

I Also listen to a good amount of NPR on my way back from school. So I kinda listen to secular music in a way I guess… Hehe

I think the only real music (I mostly listen to music when I’m doing computer programming related stuff or managing stuff) I listen to is musicals. Right now I’ve been listening to parade and Hamilton a lot…[Read more]

I think you should check out Tim Keller or David Platt I like to listen to them a lot on my way to school and they frequently mention this kind of stuff.

otherworldlyHistorian and I are brothers.

If it helps I can tell you what @otherworldlyHistorian does. (right now I am working on scripts for an informational podcast series so it doesn’t really have a plot)

for otherworldlyHistorian’s book Kharvia b1 (it doesn’t have an actual title yet) he is making a chapter-by-chapter plot summary and using a spreadsheet to keep…[Read more]

I never read twilight (not much of a romance person) but it did sell really well and the books were well received when they were released. It is true though that the success of the twilight book series led to an increase of publisher publishing vampire/supernatural romances because that after twilight released those types books sold…[Read more]

A lot of Dystopias in the ya section feel like Hunger Games knock offs is because hunger games was successful so then a bunch of publishers pushed through a bunch of similar books to try and capitalise off of the success of the hunger games. The same thing happened with Twilight and Vampire Romances a wile back.

Yeah I mostly read adult section stuff now.

If you want something to read (and I know I have said this a lot) I will have to recommend the Blade Itself By Joe Abercrombie. The simple way to explain it is an antithesis of Lord of the Rings. I think it’s really good because the writing is done really well and the characters are m…[Read more]
