I agree that hate for Harry Potter was passed down, but of course if someone’s parents tell them to avoid it, I’m not attacking that at all. Obedience is always better in those kind of situations.
Yeah, I’ve always found that although the line between ‘just magical’ and ‘satanic’ can be blurry, Harry Potter has nothing to do with…[Read more]

Btw, I started a topic about this too, so when I saw this, I thought yay, more people XD
I agree that the ‘breaking the rules’ trope is typical for the magical schools. I think it depends on the context. Honestly, I think it’s perfectly fine to read books with that stuff in it, unless you’re easily influenced by the characters’ actions. I don’t…[Read more]

Arien started the topic Why did you start writing? Why are you still writing? in the forum Mission, Calling & Ethics 3 years, 4 months ago
For me, I can’t even remember why I started writing. I was bored, I guess, and I asked Mom for a piece of paper and started writing a rip-off of a Boxcar Children book. I got a few chapters in, then abandoned it. I was maybe 8 at the time. And I wrote some stories about my stuffed animals. Later I tried to write a novel about a cowgirl. *hides in…[Read more]

I’m fine, I’m wrapped up in my blanket and sitting by a fire, so now I’m warm! Thanks all the same! *shoves coat under chair to wait until next time shivers strike*
Okay, good!! 🙂 We’ve got a nice toasty fire going too! Me and my brother just went outside, and we have a kiddie pool that was filled with water, and it’s frozen solid…[Read more]

That’s cool about your character name! Maybe I’ll name a character Asus. Or Intel. (just reading labels on the laptop lol)

I wish I were in your position right now. Im trying to figure out how to fix a car (It wont start at the moment)
I’m sorry, that doesn’t sound fun! I have no clue about cars . . . my advice would be start taking parts out and putting them in again until it works. XD Or calling a tow truck 😂
Good luck!

@whalekeepe @folith-feolin
Wellll….
I don’t read Harry Potter due to the witchcraft.
I also haven’t read Lord of the rings (I started the Hobbit buuuut yea I never finished it XD)
as for elves being “copy and pasted” sometimes there’s only so much you can do with them. And I guess I don’t understand that considering….…[Read more]

Thanks for agreeing with me, and yes, I forgot the Harry Potter parallels, but it’s true. The flaver-coded lockers and the candy with the collectible pins really got on my nerves. Not because it wasn’t interesting, it was just that I’ve seen it before in Hogwarts.
Yeah. It’s just that Messenger’s elves can’t even compare…[Read more]

Im not saying that breaking rules are okay just that if you read books in that genre you should prepare for that kind of thing to show up
As a result, we don’t read much YA fiction! I’m concentrating on writing it instead. 🙂

Erica replied to the topic The Keeper of the Lost Cities in the forum Book Discussions 3 years, 4 months ago
Kids breaking rules is basically standard in all books where kids go to fantasy schools.
I think that’s @arien ‘s point. Just because it’s super common doesn’t make it right.
That just doesn’t seem right to me. The breaking rules and getting away with it was a big problem for my parents, which is why I wasn’t allowed to read Har…

Arien replied to the topic Help, I Don't Understand Keepers of the Lost Cities in the forum Fantasy 3 years, 4 months ago
I agree with @folith-feolin about how similar it sounds to Harry Potter. And the Elves are very similar to Tolkien’s. At least in the first book Messenger hints that it was on purpose, saying something like Tolkien had been allowed to visit or something and he used what he learned to write LOTR.

So yeah, the intense mind powers and extremely broken people was a turn-off for me, but I think an even bigger thing was how the kids were breaking rules (important rules!) and getting away with it/encouraged to keep doing it BY THE ADULTS IN…[Read more]

@folith-feolin as I don’t read grimdark but I do know it’s definitely not something I’d probably read really at all, KOTLC, definitely isn’t as intense probably as what ur used to.
which is great for me XD XD XD
