@seekjustice Have you ever heard of the movie 50 First Dates?  I’ve never seen it but people have told me the plot several times and I just looked it up to make sure what it was.  It looks to me like that has the type of amnesia you’re talking about.  The girl was in a car accident so she can only remember one day and then forgets it the next da…[Read more]

@seekjustice “Lost in the Stars” by German-American composer Kurt Weill.  He wrote a lot of operas and musicals in both German and English.  “Lost in the Stars” is from a rather depressing musical also titled Lost in the Stars, and since the plot was depressing I haven’t listened to any more of the songs, but that song is beautiful…and also d…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira I don’t dislike them, I just like other books better.  I do remember I liked the first one when I read it, but that was probably eight or ten years ago and I can barely remember it now.

@seekjustice I’ve been listening to all the versions I can find of a song that reminds me very strongly of your Stars books and especially Justice.

@ariel-ashira Yes, you should definitely read Hans Brinker!!!  It’s such an amazing book!!

I’ve only read the first Black Stallion book, so I don’t know to what you’re referring. 🙁  If you want to clarify I’m probably not ever going to read the rest of the series so I don’t mind spoilers. 😉

My grandmother had the same problem when she had a r…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira Ah, I had that problem about a month ago when I had to use a different computer from mine. 🙁  I ended up writing a little bit on a google doc and then giving up. 😛

Well, I know at least that the cliche thing that happens in half of the amnesia fiction stories where the person gets hit on the head again in the same place and it…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira I like amnesia.  I’m not so fond of third degree burns. 😛  I was going to give Chara some, but I didn’t want her to get scarred, so I just gave her some painful, but not long-lasting second degree burns. 🙂  It was a selfish reason, though.  Having her be scarred would be too much trouble to write about and I wanted her to heal qui…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira I’m still here.  What are you working on?

I’m working on some stuff with my parents books.  Is anyone on?  @seekjustice @ariel-ashira @alia @jenwriter17

@dekreel Katie would rather be rescued, although she would be realy embarrassed and probably choose not to climb anything for a while anyway. But, it’s going to be essential to the plot for her to be able to climb, so hehe *turns to Katie* Sorry about that, dear.

@jenwriter17 Katie would choose the parachute. She would have no idea how to fly a…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy Haha, glad I could clear it up! 😛  Oh, and I noticed in your post you were saying you thought we were trying to “prove our loyalty to KP” by “competing with SE”.  Actually we’re not at all trying to compete with SE.  The whole thing is about the people who left without a second glance and have completely deserted KP for SE.  Sev…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy I’m just popping in here to let you know that this whole “we don’t like SE” and “going to war” business is just a joke.  It seems like you might be wondering if we’re serious, but we’re just having a play sort of like the KP fanfiction.  Personally, the reason I’m not on SE is because I don’t have time, and it’s easier just to s…[Read more]

@leumeister I’ve researched a lot of the really old hand-drawn animation, including watching short documentaries on the making of Snow White and the Gene Kelly/Jerry Mouse dance sequence which I found very interesting.  I also have researched a little bit about special effects used in movies in the 40s-70s.  I don’t know much about the newer s…[Read more]

@leumeister Oh, and I think the site sometimes deletes really long posts, and especially if someone tries to edit them.  I tried to edit a word on that post because I wanted to correct the grammar, and then it got deleted.  It’s happened a few times before to me and other people as well, and editing posts seems to be the most frequent cause.

@leumeister I think my opinion shouldn’t count for much in this case, since I’m not an animation fan anyway. 😛  I much prefer live-action.  And I’ve been thinking about exactly what kinds I like and don’t like and am having a hard time explaining even to myself so I’m not sure I could tell you specifically what it is I like or don’t like about d…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira I can only assume they were looking for more modern and exciting plots, but even that doesn’t make sense because they invented so many exciting stories for different episodes but there was plenty of material in the books to make for excitement.  There’s the scene where Almanzo and Cap go for the wheat, which is really cool, and…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira I actually don’t mind season one or two as much.  In those seasons they don’t really follow the books except for a couple of episodes, but at least they still have reasonable time period stuff, like they don’t use modern slang and the other things are pretty good for historical accuracy.  However, as the show progresses it gets w…[Read more]

@seekjustice Hey, I’m back for just a short bit.  I might actually disappear after this post.  But how could I resist returning when you gave me permission to go on a semi-rant on one of my favorite ranting subjects? 😛

So, a few of the historical inaccuracies.  To start with, I’ll just say that after the first two seasons they basically made no…[Read more]

Hm, that’s weird.  My post disappeared.
