@writefury my, don’t we look funny. 😉

@Vanna aha!! Permit me to enlighten you! Cobalt is the most celebrated fictional character on. this. forum. Created by none other than… *drumroll* our very own spy/genius lady, Rosemary Mucklestone!!!
*puffs out chest impressively* And I, my very dear young lady, am president of the Cobalt Fan Club.

Okay, in plain English, Cobalt Winter is one…[Read more]

@writefury YAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!!!!! *does impromptu jig* 😉

@writefury really!? Wow… I actually thought it was too understated. I should have had him trip over the edge of the sidewalk or something. 😉
I guess it helps that I’ve had a lot of practice working with this character-type before… *sly wink*

@Spradlin COOL!!!!!! I was familiar with the concept, but I’d never heard it called that before. Now I know! 😉 Nice work, @Vanna.

@Hope it can work in whatever you want it to. So what if it’s usually considered scifi? Challenge perceptions! Force people to think outside the box! Conquer the world! *shakes fist over head, glowers out over whoever is listening*

😉

Hm, let’s see now. If the Reflection is a reflection, then the real world must be… um… yeah. Physical.…[Read more]

Awesome topic @Hope. My all time favorite writing scripture is Ecclesiastes 12:11:

The words of the wise are like goads, and the words of scholars are like well-driven nails, given by one Shepherd.

It reminds me not only of the power we wield (and have a responsibility to wield responsibly) but also of Who gave us that power, and ultimately…[Read more]

@Daeus that’s sounding more and more like a very wise idea. 😀

Oh no, @Hannah-C! That’s awful. I’m so sorry. *weeps in sympathy* Thankfully nothing this dire has ever happened to me. It almost did once— I accidentally hit ctrl-A (highlight) instead of ctrl-S (save) then continued typing before the command had fully gone through… and you know when you highlight something and keep typing, whatever you keep…[Read more]

@Jadamae she’s a bit of a perfectionist… 😉

For me, I think it would be the refreshing simplicity of the style coupled with the strength and complexity of the allegory. There’s always something you didn’t notice before; always something else to remark on and think over. And it doesn’t require say, two weeks of commitment. Like the Count of Monte Cristo would. 😛 It can be read through in a…[Read more]

@Overcomer that’s true. Come to think of it, though I was frightened of scary images (extraterrestrials, bears with huge teeth, sharks, etc.) the one thing that scared me most when my dad read us ‘Scottish Chiefs’, for instance, was Marion’s death. And it didn’t scare me because of the violence itself. It scared me because I couldn’t understand…[Read more]

@Jadamae ouch… *cringes*

*laughs hysterically*

*cringes again*

*stares at post*

*runs screaming from the room*

😉

@spradlin what’s the fourth wall???

@overcomer hahaha! I’m sure they wouldn’t protest that… 😛

Well, I guess it would depend heavily on the child. When I was little I used to be scared of my own shadow, so I can imagine it being pretty terrifying for me, but I’ve always been the sensitive/dramatic/over-imaginative one in my family. I don’t think any of my other siblings would…[Read more]

@Rolena-Hatfield this gibberish machine doesn’t require payment. 😉 I love Corida… maybe you could build off that if it doesn’t sound sufficiently rolling. Coridania? Corrian? Coridesh? Corimdalinae? 😛

@Hope it’s a sister thing. 😉

@Emma-Flournoy absolutely. 😀

@Emma-Flournoy Harold embodies the theme… *sigh* I give up for now. I’m too tired to argue. But rest assured I shall most certainly think whatever title I choose through very carefully.

@Daeus it must be. Little siblings do seem to be quite adept at that. 😛
And yes. Don’t waste your time here; we’ll figure it out. 😉 Somehow.
