@daeus @emily @shannon @catwing @epicaddie2 @bethanysinkyroses I’m on, either writing or editing or…noting…? Not sure what yet…

Anyway, here’s me, writing.

Ah, yes…comprendo. Now I see.

It’s the whole Disney complex. Follow your heart.
Yep, that drives me nuts too. 😀

@princessfoo *blushes* Thank you! @ryanna Actually, that sounds quite original to me. I think whether your story is considered cliché hangs on your plot. My advice would be to track down the clichés in books that have intelligent animals. I haven’t read a lot like that, but the clichés that come to me first are: one group of animals is au…[Read more]

When it comes to things like this, I think that you just need to do what your heart says is right. The Holy Spirit will guide you. Just trust in him.

… @daeus
What are you referring to?

@warrioroftherealm Thank you muchly!
@daughteroftheking I haven’t seen any with the original Spock, but I think all vulcans are awesome. Live long and prosper.
And I will definitely let you know! 😀 Aye, I suppose it is rather mysterious. Hee hee. 😀

@ryanna I wouldn’t be the one to say whether or not that is cliche. However, the one thing I do notice is that you haven’t described to me a plot. You’ve only described to me a setting.

What’s most important for stories that have unusual settings is that those setting have thematic purpose. What advantage does having intelligent animals on the…[Read more]

@Ryanna good question. I have no idea. XD Plot is not my strong point either. I shall quietly stalk this topic and learn all I can.

I thought I’d pop in here because I noticed somebody touched on my pet peeve.

So, I totally agree that there are times when we’ll be puzzled as to what the right thing is to do and in those times we’ll simply have to act on our conscience. However, that’s not a situation you want to be in. It’s much better to be a Berean before hand and search…[Read more]

@emily Agreed. Very much agreed. There are definitely gray areas, because, well, we are human…and we aren’t God. We aren’t made to understand everything. That’s why it is ‘the mystery of the cross’

@his-instrument Wow. This is really hard. Somebody else might have already said this, but in my opinion, I think that we won’t know everything u…

@Dragon-Snapper I like Data, Worf, Picard, and Spock. When your book is ready for reading, let me know! I wish to read this book that I’ve heard so much about. 😉 Actually, I haven’t heard that much, it’s kind of mysterious. 😛 We wantses to read it anyway.

@LifeofKatie yep. I need to study this some more as well.
Thanks for getting us thinking, @His-Instrument. 😀
@Jadamae good point…

@LifeofKatie mm… though see now, I’m not entirely sure that was wrong, in Aragorn’s case.
Hm.
*raises eyebrows* Clearly I still have some thinking to do. 😛

@his-instrument I suppose that is true.

@aratrea Yay! I’m glad you think so! 😀
@josiahdeboer *pats shoulder* Don’t worry. The time will come….eventually… Ah, high school.
@daughteroftheking Well, in Voyager my favorite character is either Harry Kim or Tom Paris, and in Next Gen. it would have to be either Picard (is that how you spell his name. Eh, I’ll just call him Jean Luc) or…[Read more]
