@Winter-Rose I’ll be here for an unknown amount of time.

Russian and Australian. I have no idea. Is it something Disney?

@winter-rose For some reason the first thing that came to my head was Star Trek, then I realized that wasn’t animated. 😛
The Rescuers Down Under?

@Daeus I love that one. My vote goes for that.

@Daeus I agree. Great points.

Les Miserables. 😀

Theme: justice and mercy.
Focusing question: which one triumphs?
Message: it’s justice that makes mercy necessary.

Hmm… those are slightly different than the format of the others you shared… and now my brain is tickling… I wonder…
Oh yes. This was that idea— I’ve thought about this some already. 😛 It seems to me…[Read more]

@ethryndal That, my friend, is the worst. *falls to the floor*

@dragon-snapper Oh boy! Happy six months! I’m trying to find the courage to start the Silmarillion at the moment.

You know what’s the worst thing ever? When someone who doesn’t get it says something to the effect of, “Oh, just get over it and write something.” *rips out hair* They know nothing.

@ethryndal @s-g-dewey Writer’s block, how some people don’t have it remains a mystery to me. Maybe they aren’t like me, a procrastinator, and actually take time to plan out every single scene that is bound to happen. 😛

I pronounce it as Thay-o-den as well, but I saw LOTR before I read it, so that really was never a problem for me. And now I’m…[Read more]

@ethryndal @winter-rose Gah! I feel like I’ve heard it too, but I can’t quite place it. … Is there something along the lines of a hint you could give us? 😉

@Winter-Rose Arg…sounds so familiar…

@dragon-snapper @s-g-dewey Though some of us more than others may be prone to chuckle evilly when they hear a fellow has it and they’re not the only one… 😛 Not that I would ever do that… BUT in all seriousness, writer’s block is the worst curse of the writing kind, and I would not wish it upon any one. Really. 😉

I pronounce it Thay-o-den. I…[Read more]

@Leumeister Weeeeeell, looks like everyone else has pretty much said my main thoughts, so, yeah. I do like the title font and the metallic quality of it. Looks spacey. And I know this is just a rough draft, but when you start to polish it up, I would just remember to do something with the people, so they don’t look like their walking around in…[Read more]

@Daeus… LGK? ‘Little Green Kate’??? *hysterical chuckling* I like that. :”D

@daeus Wait, @kate-flournoy is already green. She’s a dragon, isn’t she? 😛
Okay, I actually like the idea of splitting one hugeongeous book into three mainly because then I feel like I’ve finished something when there’s still more to do. I would have finished something (reading your book) three times. I’ve read a book before, except I didn’t,…[Read more]

@s-g-dewey Writer’s block…grr.. Yep, I’ve had that for longer than I care to say as well, though I am definitely getting over it. Story ideas everywhere!
As for names: William, Alexander, Raynold, David… why is it so hard to come up with names, self? There are millions in the world, and yet I can only come up with four. 😛

@leumeister Ooh…Ahh… I love the font, and the metallic feel of it. Very spacey. Though the cover is quite dark; the shading in contrast again the stars is hard to make out. I wasn’t sure at first it was a spaceship, but if it were lighter, I probably could.

Excellent font choice, by the way. 😉

@Leumeister I love the title, though it might be a little too metallic to show up well against your background, and as far as I can tell with your experimental models, the actual cover looks like it’ll be well laid out. It does seem a bit too dark though, and besides that maybe a little uniform. There’s nothing really eye-catching about the cover…[Read more]

@s-g-dewey I’m still convinced it’s chocolate. 🙂 And ah yes, those terrible names where you sit and stare at it for three minutes trying to figure out if it’s Thee-o-den, or Thay-o-den. Fortunately, I don’t think I’ve got that problem; one of my MCs is named Lotch… But if you’re not writing fantasy, then thankfully, most people will probably…[Read more]
