@seekjustice Yup! 😀

They’re a Mormon comedy group based out of BYU, so most of their sketches are clean.  I really hate that they include magic, Harry Potter, and stuff like that in some of their sketches, but for the most part they’ve got good, family comedy.

Here’s the sketch I was talking about.

And here’s another sketch, just in case…[Read more]

@seekjustice Yes, totally.  I was just trying to think of any possible arguments for the side I chose.  If I was arguing against Richard, I’d think up really good arguments for that side instead. 😛

Haha!  I’m only “contemplating” the story at all!  I doubt it’ll ever get written.  I’ve planned the premises for probably two hundred stories and…[Read more]

@seekjustice A great many kids revolt against their own fathers during their growing up years.  It is only with the sons of kings that it has such great consequences. 😛 (I am not in any way excusing rebellion against parents.  I am simply stating the fact that Richard wasn’t a whole lot different from a normal person.)

One thing I have to say a…[Read more]

@seekjustice I agree that the original versions of Robin Hood were pretty bad.  That’s why I said I like the opera and movie versions. 🙂

Okay, if you want to argue against Richard, I’ll argue for him.  I’ve just been reading his bio on Wikipedia, and only have seen one horrible thing he did, and that was the order of the persecution of the J…[Read more]

@seekjustice Yes, he does usually kill the king’s deer.  That usually is not the most important aspect of his outlawry, and he does it because there is no other way for him to eat, or for him to feed the people he is responsible for, (since he has many followers, and also considers himself responsible for his former tenants, the people of…[Read more]

@seekjustice Yeah, no.  I don’t like that version of him either.  In the opera his backstory, (as far as I can remember; I saw the opera three years ago,) is his father was the Earl of Locksley, and Richard went off to fight in the Crusades, and when the Earl died, Robin should have inherited Locksley, but Prince John stole it from him.  I th…[Read more]

@seekjustice Shame on me, but I’ve never actually read the original Robin Hood book.  My grandmother had it a few years ago, but I never got around to reading it and now I guess it must be in storage where a lot of her stuff was put when she moved.  So, my knowledge of the Robin Hood legend mostly comes from the RH opera and four or five old m…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Okay…maybe you’re not quite heartless.  😛  I’ll think on it and get back to you with the verdict.

Hm, John in love with Marion too?  I considered that.  I’m not sure.  That would be pretty cliche, though, wouldn’t it?  You have just one female character in the story, so all the men are in love with her? 😉  I guess that could…[Read more]

@rochellaine @seekjustice I have to go now. I’ll see you both tomorrow maybe 🙂

@rochellaine Wow, that’s quite an interesting twist to the story! I love it! 😀

Maybe John could be under the delusion that he and Marion are in love as well, so he does what’s she asks (????) To redeem Marion, I’d have to think on that… maybe some backstory plays into what she does???….

Jay Blue….I like it! 😉

@seekjustice Well, I don’t like turning good guys into villains, but I have no problem with turning villains into good guys. 😛 So what I thought was…of course, first of all Prince John is good.  I needed a bad guy, so King Richard will be semi-bad.  I didn’t have too much of a problem with that because you don’t really get to know Richard as h…[Read more]

@rochellaine *innocent face* Who, me? Heartless? 😛 Why, no, I’ll prove you wrong. 😉 a conversation I just had yesterday with my brother:

Me: *flips through some pages of my WIP* *sobs*

Brother: *walking by* What are you doing?

Me: Oh my poor characters! My babies! I’m sorry…

Brother: Um, what are you doing?

Me: My poor Rin… my poor…[Read more]

@seekjustice @rochellaine

Robin Hood retelling?! Wait, WHO’S doing a Robin retelling? Are you, Rochellaine? I must knoooooooooow!!!!

@jenwriter17 I no longer think @seekjustice is the most heartless character-killer here.  You are worse, in that you actually gloat over it, while she at least is sorry for her characters.

😀 My characters are doing better, I think.  I’m having a bit of trouble with the hospital scenes, since I would normally ask my mom about medical stuff but s…[Read more]

@rochellaine Haha, they’re terrible! It’s great! 😛 😛 😛

…..

And how about yours? 😉

@seekjustice Haha!  I do, I do.

What are you working on?  I had a really weird and complicated idea for a retelling of Robin Hood today…

@jenwriter17 Hello!  I’m not even gonna ask how your characters are doing.  Not even gonna. 😛

Um…how are your characters doing?

@rochellaine @seekjustice

*timidly steps in* I think I might be able to write for a teensy bit.

@rochellaine Oh, yeah that’s totally understandable. Though it seem KP is being abandoned, at least somewhat 🙁

I can’t remember exactly, but I think they were devotional/theological books of some kind…

Yes, I knew you weren’t trying to promote yourself on me (but you should! 😉 )

@jane-maree Yes, I am preparing myself mentally for the…[Read more]

@skredder I think I can read it all tonight 😀

@seekjustice How-do.  Sorry for falling asleep last night. 😛  How’s it going?
