Kate Flournoy

@kate-flournoy, I like making fun of Romeo and Juliet, though I make fun of pretty much any romance anyway. I had a class on his Comedies two semesters ago, which left me not liking him as much as I had before — I missed a lot of the crude jokes when I was just reading on my own, as a kid. It’s kind of like Chaucer that way, safer for younger…[Read more]

I love this sort of thing! I like Shakespeare myself, but not so much I can’t appreciate it when someone makes fun of him.

@kate-flournoy, if it’s any consolation, I like Henry the Fifth too.

@Kate-Flournoy 😮
Of course I wouldn’t have known that since I haven’t read any of the actual plays…how much of this is Shakespearean original with replaced words?
@Daeus spoofs like that are hilarious.

@Kate-Flournoy Isn’t that poem amazing? Ever time I read it, I am overwhelmed with a strange sense of humbleness, duty, honor, and glory. It makes me fall in love with writing fantasy all over again.

So who is your favorite Tolkien character? I just finished listening to the Silmarillion on audiobook, and I had forgotten how wonderful his stories…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy @anyone-else Ok. I’m doing the writing thing.

@kate-flournoy I took a look at the list of the hardest words on the test (http://testyourvocab.com/hard), and apparently they only occur in English less than 3 times per hundred million words. So you’re absolutely right, no one should be taking this too seriously.

@Daeus Good job on that, you made me laugh out loud, which I rarely do. Obi-Wan on a broomstick… I’m at a loss for words. Though you make a good point; that line was always slightly troublesome. And then in Return of the Jedi, he tells Luke that a lot of truths we hold to are based on our point of view, or something like that. So…was he saying…[Read more]

@Kate-Flournoy *gigantic eyeroll* That’s a compliment.
I like the guy too after all, even if I’m not as vocal ’bout it… (and ‘like’ is an understatement. ;))

@Ethryndal That’s wonderful. 😀
Our dad thinks we’re crazy. That’s been the subject of many a heated debate between him and Kate—the Darth Vader devotee and the Kylo Ren freak.

@Daeus…[Read more]

@Kate-Flournoy I looked it up and we were both wrong. It’s Tattooine. 🙂

@Kate-Flournoy *cough* Let’s keep this professional. After all, we’re pretty much rooting for the villain. 😉

@kate-flournoy @daeus @aratrea Wowzers! Awesome advice, guys! I used the summary of K. M. Weiland’s three plot structure thingy and that actually deepened my theme. And Kate, I’m copying that down too. Thank you all!

@kate-flournoy Hey, I’ve read the Eagle of the Ninth! 😛
@charisetter The only thing that sounds familiar to me is the pet wolf…it was in some roman book I’ve read before (was it Eagle of the Ninth or was that Beric the Briton?)

I’m not sure. Here, I’ll tag some people who might know: @hope @daeus @aratrea
@kate-flournoy @theliterarycrusader

@Emma-Flournoy Hey, maybe if you’re a Dunadain, you mature faster! 😛

@Kate-Flournoy Ha! Yes, that entire spiel about, “You cannot be she, for she is far away. *sappy music* Far, far away from me,” was just cringe worthy. The thing about that triangle that bothered me most was that it totally undermined how incredible the Legolas Gimli…[Read more]

Anybody writing? @dragon-snapper, @overcomer, @bluejay, @kate-flournoy, @anyone who’s around 🙂

@kate-flournoy That looks great! I could see the transitory Experiments being either full-fledged Experiments, or just part of the middle Venn diagram section of the two opposing Experiments in Living. Kind of depends on how marked his change is. But yeah, that looks like a great way of handling the disillusionment arc.

@audrey-caylin Oh,…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper , Can’t get much better then what @kate-flournoy said!

@kate-flournoy That makes it worse. Rev 3:16 “So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.”

@kate-flournoy

Glad somebody noticed 🙂 I’ll try to get to your thread about love triangles. Haven’t read anything on there yet, but I noticed there were a lot of people who posted so it should be great.
