Hope Ann

@Hope I like the sound of Fidelyon. 😉

Thank you for the warm welcomes everyone! 😀

@Bluejay Thanks! Ummm… what do I win? I watch the Olympics here and there, generally just when I need to rest for a few minutes. The Australians seem to be doing really well this year! 😉

The Bible challenge is a really good idea, but it doesn’t work for me right now. I do read my Bible every day,…[Read more]

@Hope I’m late to the party but better late than never, right? I like the tile “Sign of the Shield,” but I like “Sign of the Nameless Shield” better. I also really like “Crowned Powerless…” 😉

@Hope oooh, I love that. It really reminds me you can’t play God and pretend to see the whole picture. You do your duty and trust God for the rest.

@Hope I do believe assassinations in wartime are no different than pitched battle. The object is to kill either way, and I see no reason why an ambush in the middle of the night should be permitted, yet a single man not be permitted to sneak into enemy headquarters and kill a general.
In the case of terrorists, terrorists are by definition…[Read more]

@Daeus A-MEN! 😀

@Hope— what he said. 😉

@hope I get the idea you asked several questions there.

First, you seem to ask that if there is a situation in which it is ok to kill, does that apply no matter who is in the position to be killed, whether villain, friend, neutral, brother, etc.

That does have a clear answer in my opinion, but not a simple one. The reason is that there are…[Read more]

@Hope all good questions. I do think I would tend to say it’s cowardice to beg for swift death over torment (though goodness knows if I would have the strength to take it), because ultimately God is in control (so cliche— but He is 😉 ) and ‘I can do ALL THINGS through Christ, who strengthens me.’ That would apply to silence in the face of…[Read more]

@Hope

But especially with the scenes which could have happened, but had to be clipped for time’s sake…those are fun to go back and read and spend a little more time with favorite characters.

Oh, that kind would be nice. 🙂
It’s just too bad not everyone wants a giant book; then you wouldn’t have to cut scenes for time’s sake. 🙁

@hope have you ever read Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine? She does that with her book.

@hope

One thing though, Hope—I’ve never really got this.
Why include old scenes as special material, if they are in fact old? Because if you deleted them from the book, they most likely didn’t happen, and why show your fan something that could’ve happened if it didn’t? Chances are they may like the deleted way better, and then it’ll leave them…[Read more]

Did seriously NO ONE welcome you properly? @hope got close, but no one did it properly, which allows me to do it professionally.

If you’ve been stalking, then you’ll know that that is the real way to welcome people to the website.…[Read more]

@hope, (I think that is how the handle works?) Thanks for welcoming me! I am happy to be at the bestiest part of the internet! I’m currently working on a fantasy trilogy, a novelette, am in the process of editing a short story, and am working on approximately 7.6 billion other ideas! I tend to work best when I can skip from project to project.…[Read more]

Hi @corissa-maiden-of-praise. Welcome. Wait!!!! *stares at your post* You win. *pats you on the back* 🙂

So things about me….

Well, I too am dedicated to Jesus. Sometimes though I feel as though it is lacking in my life. So there is a great forum topic here when you tag someone to read nothing but the Bible all day. It is a great lot of fun,…[Read more]
