@seekjustice But please remember that this is just me, and you have a whole bunch of other beta readers. 😉

Aaand, I fell asleep on you again. 😛

Anyway, I found the Sherlock Holmes parodies (the ones I was talking about) on the Australian Gutenberg.  I didn’t even know there was such a thing!  But I did find them, and they’re really short, so you can read them easily whenever you get the chance.  Here they are:

The Adventure of the Cl…[Read more]

@seekjustice Hi! Yes I have sorta disappeared. I’ve just been really super busy lately. However, after the next two week my schedule will open up and I will have a lot more time to read and write. I should be able to finish the first draft of my story not too long after. I’ll have that up as soon as I finish it. 🙂

@rochellaine

Hopefully!

I do quite like parodies if they’re done right 🙂

I didn’t change that much, did I?

@seekjustice Okay, cool.  We’ve already established that you like both Gordon MacRae and Hugh Jackman as actors, so you should get at least some small enjoyment out of them. 😉 Even if you don’t like the musical in general.

Well, as I said, it’s not just Sherlock Holmes, as I didn’t know Holmes had faked his death that way but I have heard of…[Read more]

@Rochellaine

Well, I have the 1955 version in the house currently, so I’ll watch that first but I know our library has the 1999 version so I might watch that one later.

Yep its definitely a classic one. I’m a bit of a Sherlock Holmes nerd 😉

Well, yes, I am overly obsessed with Les Mis and have listened to so many different versions and I have…[Read more]

@seekjustice And there’s another version of Oklahoma I’ve watched which is a 1943 restitution, supposedly as exactly as possible to the original production.  They copied the costumes, the sets, the choreography and the original script exactly, and called in those who were still alive from the original production to help them figure it out.  I a…[Read more]

@seekjustice There are different things I like about each of them.  Oh, and by the way, the Hugh Jackman version was from 1999, so it’s technically a “19-something version” too… 😛 The Jud character in Hugh Jackman’s version is much scarier than the 50s Jud is.  I prefer Gordon MacRae singing “Oh What a Beautiful Morning” and I definitely very m…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Ah, that’s unfortunate. My family tends to stick the rain out and make us all miserable 😛

I’m not sure how many I’ve seen, I’d have to count. By the way, do you like the 19something version of Oklahoma or the Hugh Jackman version best?

I guess so, she just struck me as really naïve and not at all smart.

She’s in her forties, but…[Read more]

@valtmy Haha!  Thanks!!  I actually do need one partially reasonable death faking idea, because they do need to truly fake a death in the story.  So it’s okay if you thought of reasonable ones.

I like them a lot!  My brother came up with a boat one, except he said they should explode the boat.  Probably because he’s a guy, right?  Guys like explo…[Read more]

@seekjustice We don’t go camping very often.  And unfortunately, it started to rain so we had to pack up and hike back up the trail pretty early this morning.  At least we had one good night there. 🙂

Well, that’s two out of what, eight?  You haven’t even seen eight old musical films, have you?  So the percentage isn’t all that low if you thi…[Read more]

@dekreel I have to use the phrase all the time when talking about sci-fi with my brother. (which we do all the time, since we’re fans of Star Trek, Stargate SG-1, and a few other sci-fi movies/shows.)  So to describe any character I’ll either say “sentient being” or “humanoid.”  Just not all sentient beings are humanoids, so I have to use b…[Read more]

@dekreel

Sorry I keep missing you! I was at church this morning you see 😀

@rochellaine

Welcome back! Does your family go camping much?

Yeah, I didn’t like that, and it’s generally not my style (Oh, I love Brigadoon! Its pretty much the only exception to the old musical dislike. And I don’t mind Mary Poppins. But other than that…)

I did…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I do not know how to fake someone’s death. I have never done it before

😛

Never. Not even to Zac.

@valtmy Haha, well, maybe you can help me with some ideas.  I need a whole bunch of completely ridiculous and impossible ways to fake someone’s death.  (I thought I would have to ask @seekjustice 😉 But if you’re willing…)  I’ll give you a couple of examples to show you what I mean.

Ways to Fake Deaths

Example #1: Rent a private helicopter, ta…[Read more]

Wow, I cannot believe how badly I messed up @jenwriter17‘s tag in the last post! 😛 Ah well, Jen, I was just saying that you’re one of Bobert’s favorite “sentient beings” in case you ever wondered. 😉

@rochellaine  Yes, yes, I know… Hey, at least I didn’t STOP coming here all together. 😛

“Sentient being.” Yeah. I might just start using that phrase. XD

Poor Bobert! Maybe he likes Jen because she’s a Steampunk horse. Because honestly, there are few things more awesome than a Steampunk horse.

@valtmy  Oyy, that’s tough! I hope you’re e…[Read more]

@dekreel hi, thanks for tagging me, but I can’t write at the moment. I just got back from a writing conference and I am wiped. out. I hope to be on the corner next week more though. 🙂

Happy writing!

@dekreel Yes, and you promised you wouldn’t disappear… 😛

Anyway, I’m working on a completely new project now and considering writing a screenplay.  Cool stuff. 😛

Poor Bobert has been pretty much neglected lately.  I think that is partially the fault of @sam-kowal for keeping Stan away, since Stan is Bobert’s favorite sentient being besides m…[Read more]

@valtmy  Hi! Good to see you!

Going okay. How are you?
