Oh, yes, sorry @aratrea! I’m known for bad phrasing.
Message#3- Everything you have must be sacrificed for justice, as long as it is not unjust to do so.

@Aratrea I think the trilogy has an overarching theme of Sacrifice, but this particular one of the trilogy is judgement

Beginning: Protagonist is under the idea that justice must be served, and everything must be given to make things right. He is bitter with this thought of what it means in the case of his family. This devotion grows after his…[Read more]

Well, @Aratrea, I think I’m learning more here than I am at school!

People change when drastic things happen in their lives to force, insinuate or inspire change.

Past mistakes are the main cause of this, when someone messes up, they immediately move to try and not suffer the consequences again. Like when people train a dog not to bark by…[Read more]

Okay, physical poetic justice for MC…
He aim to bring justice by not letting the villains steal his blood to overtake the universe, and in doing so allows his sister to get tortured, and therefore is left with guilt that he can not be freed from?
I’m not sure if that fits as the physical problem doesn’t happen directly to him… I…[Read more]

Thanks @aratrea!
*Looks at message* Woah! Yeah, okay, I see your point. *Deliberates for a few years*
Um, how’s this?
Message- Everything you have must be sacrificed for justice, as long as that does not require atonement of itself.

S’okay @daeus and @graciegirl, I still feel welcomed! (Considering I almost went into shock at the instant response from people here.) : D
Quenya is really quite easy to learn if you want to, some part are ridiculously confusing, but, if you look on http://folk.uib.no/hnohf/qcourse.htm. It takes you through learning it, oh, and don’t skip the…[Read more]

Theme- Justice

Experiments of Living
1. Aim purely to bring justice to the world, not caring who and what stands in their way. Justice is justice.
2. Always forgive, don’t retaliate, let things slide. Forgive and forget.
3. Keep your opinions so that they only affect you, don’t try to sway others to your side, they can live as they wish.
4. Weigh…[Read more]

Wow, awesome lesson @aratrea. That is really cool, helping solve the whole character- plot thing. Cos generally I focus on making the character development most of the plot, but this works way better.
As for how I can put my self in my character’s shoes, well, I do a whole heap of online quizzes, pretending to be them, Myers-Briggs included. I…[Read more]

Thanks! Again, an awesome lesson @aratrea! I have two themes in this novel, (First of a trilogy), but I’ll stick to working with one for now and work on the other one as I get the hang of this a bit more!
Theme- Justice

Focusing Question- How much should one be willing to sacrifice for justice?

Possible answers-
1. Anything and everything as…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper Um… Glaurung? The evil dragon guy from the Children of Hurin?
Yes, I learn Quenya at school, and can write Tengwar, and I want to learn Sindarin.
Ooooh, which form of Dwarven? I am curious!

@dragon-snapper YAY! Another lover of film music! *highfives/claws*

@jane-maree Hi! *waves guiltily* Sorry for not waiting for you! (Yeah, I have a cool cousin!)

@kate-flournoy WOAH! Okay then!
I agree, humans are fascinating. And I think it’s cool too, I was mostly curious, as it keeps showing up allllll over the place, and I was wondering if it was stemming from here.
I KNOW!!! It’s hilarious, like, INFP’s are known for writing fiction. And, here we are, writing fiction. Oh well, I guess that’s just a…[Read more]

@lifeofkatie Niiiice! Acoustic is really beautiful, helps you to really be able to appreciate the music.
Oh, I should know not to ask questions that I don’t have an answer for. Um… I like lots of types… mostly Christian for the lyrics, love good lyrics, but musically, I love the Romantic and Baroque period when it comes to beautiful music.…[Read more]

Yay! You’re another blue-lover @lifeofkatie !
Welcome to KP, and I hope you settle in with all of us people, and non-people!
Do you have a prefered style of music? If so, what is it?

@jess BTW, is there a reason for the craze (That you know of) for MBTI? I mean, my cousin asked me not long ago, (she’s almost the same as me, ENFP) and now another KPer, is it a big KP Forum thing?

@jess Yay! Another Jess!
*Gasps* Shape-shifter, cool. So, what is your favorite form? Yes, it wouldn’t be much fun having a ton of people trying to kill you!
My MBTI type is INFP, and no, no-one’s asked me yet. Hmm, and, (Wild guess, sorry if I’m wrong) but… are you ENTP?

@Aratrea Theme, I find is exciting because it is so clearly the basis of any good writing, and is a way to be able to reach people with Christ in a way that isn’t throwing the Bible at their face. Because that’s not so good. But the fact that there is something that means we can both write, and speak the Truth, that’s what I think is the most epic…[Read more]
