Thanks guys!

I think what I am going to use is a broadsword flanked by dragon wings on either side.

However, my character has his eyes set on the throne, so he might have a crown or something similar on his signet ring…
I’ll have to add that in.

Since signet rings are used commonly in medieval and fantasy books, I invite…[Read more]

You guessed it…
There definitely are legends of this villain, and the characters are definitely familiar with them. About meeting him, the characters do have to meet him, otherwise the villain would not necessarily work for what I am trying to do. What was different about your version of this problem (with your story)?

Ooh, scifi… we can go a lot of different places, then. *grins*
M’kay… first idea. They could invent this virus that spreads by contact of skin to skin— it just has to touch you and then the spores go to work, and anyone else you touch catches the same virus. It’s a powder or something, and even one grain of it transfers the disease to the…[Read more]

Oh wow, what a topic @Jess. XD

Okay. It really depends on the genre. Tell me the genre, and I’ll see what horrible outlandish things I can think of. 😛

@Daeus opera? Wow… never really considered that as a written thing, but now that you mention it, they are stories, aren’t they? 😛
Music isn’t really all that difficult— if you can read it and have the basic foundation (which learning piano is the best way to build, IMO) it’s fairly easy. Assuming, of course, you have the head for it. 😛 I…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy I think I’d collaborate on the music. I’m always composing music and am supposedly very musical, but I can’t actually write down the music (at least it would be very very difficult for me to do) and I really don’t like playing instruments myself and have very little knowledge of them.

@emma-flournoy Any movie at all. Though our family never really attends the theatre (for no particular reason), that experience decided me that the opera is my favourite art form. I don’t know if it will ever happen, but some day I’d like to write them along with my novels.

@emma-flournoy Yes, the play is amazing. Of course, they had to seriously abridge everything and they couldn’t possibly be 100% accurate to the book with the limited time, but I’d say they did a good job expressing the core elements of the book. The only issue is that stage directors can do anything they want outside of the script, so when I went…[Read more]

@his-instrument Oh, if you ever get a chance, it’s a cool vacation activity! I don’t know if it’s on YouTube or something… It’s surprisingly educational for a play, but also enjoyable.

I deserve to be a part of this conversation! *outrage* Les Mis is my favorite thing since…since…Ice cream! 😉
*runs away singing Les Mis songs* *cries in corner because I wasn’t invited to be part of this conversation* 😛
@christi-eaton
That is SO cool that you are Cosette! Oh my goodness. *turns…[Read more]

@his-instrument Yes, I have read it. I wouldn’t say it’s my all-time favorite, but It’s probably in the top six or so. Very excellent book. The play is equally amazing. Its music ranks number 2 for me right under the Messiah.

@christi-eaton
Are you a senior then? I’m a junior, and it’s scary that I’ll be applying to colleges next summer. O_O I can’t believe it! Congratulations on being accepted! That’s awesome. 🙂
@dragon-snapper
Where are you looking at going right now? And what year are you in High School? Just wondering because I’m in the same boat… 😉
Right…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper
I’m late responding but CONGRATULATIONS ON COMPLETING YOUR NOVEL! I’m still working on that bit. 😉

@his-instrument
I haven’t read Les Mis, but I love, love, LOVE the play! I really need to read it. Have you watched the play? The music is incredible!

@His-Instrument YES!!! Les Miserables! My favorite book ever! I love that one. And you haven’t even got to the good part yet. *wiggles eyebrows*

And the Chronicles of Narnia— yes. I reread them recently, and was actually stunned how deep they are. I’d only had them read to me before, when I was seven or eight, and so much of the allegory I…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy @kate-flournoy Favorite song? Nope, I love them all equally, just like they are all my children.

Also @Sierra-r Sorry for hijacking your post. 🙂

@Emma-Flournoy nah. I’d rather throw in my lot with the rebels, thanks.

@Brandon-Miller 😀
