Good points, Rosey. Of course this is fun!

Good points about magic too. 😛

You mentioned that magic in the Bible is portrayed as bad. Here’s a link to an article if you want to follow it, that discusses this issue very well, but in a nut shell, the magic mentioned in the Bible is witchcraft. Of course it’s portrayed as bad! Magic in the Bible is…[Read more]

Yes, it is @Alia. I haven’t read the other books in the series; maybe I’ll pick one up over Christmas break. 🙂

I have to join in, sorry guys. This is an awesome topic! Ok, here are some of my favorite books:

Lord of the Rings…It’s just simply amazing!
The Harry Potter books are awesome!
The Percy Jackson series was hilarious! I love Rick Riordan’s writing style. 🙂
The Mysterious Benedict Society…very cleverly written (is cleverly a word? :P)
To…[Read more]

Haha! No problem… I understood it okay. 😛

*sigh* The inner author makes slaves of us all.

Oh! Okay. Gotcha, @Daeus. I agree. 🙂

Yes certainly! I love a good debate. So let’s both enjoy this thoroughly. This is just so fun. Really debate is so fun, and it so stretches our brains, and I love it…

So. Yes, you have good points there. I may be redundant in what I say, and say it all over again, but I hope not and if I am oh well. 😛
With LotR magic (I assume you’ve read…[Read more]

You and I were posting at the same time, Daeus! 🙂 I don’t think this is necessarily a problem for leadership only, though it would be good to talk to them, certainly.

I’m not very wise, and certainly still learning, but I would love to discuss this with Sarah and I think it’s a good thing to have these discussions where people who may be…[Read more]

These are all very valid questions, Sarah, and I know it can’t have been easy for you to speak out. I admire that.

Let me make a quick statement as to where I stand. I write fantasy. There is magic in my work. I love the Lord of the Rings, The Chronicles of Narnia, and Star Wars— though there are certainly elements of Star Wars I strongly…[Read more]

Ooh… that’s quite a question!
I don’t think I can answer that with just one character— I pour a varied amount of myself into every one of mine, pretty much. But a lot of my sarcastic characters bear many similarities to my personality, because I can be ridiculously sarcastic and witty in an odd, wacky, irrelevant sort of way. 😛 I also tend…[Read more]

Return to Me, by Lynn Austin. Set during the return of the Israelites to Jerusalem after their exile to Babylon and the MC is the prophet Zechariah! Really good story.

Oh! That kind of elf hat! Okay, yeah, I might draw the line there. 😛

Hey Rosey, can I ask you what it is you don’t like about magic? I’m not being patronizing— really I’m not. But I love this discussion. This is like one of my absolute pet-peeve discussions, and I’m always on the lookout for someone who can offer a new dimension of thought to it. I’d love to discuss this with you.

I already created a thread for…[Read more]

The Screwtape Letters. READ THEM. READ THEM READ THEM READ THEM.

I’ll do that. 😀

Well who says you can’t be a medieval belt and cloak person and an elf hat and poncho person at the same time, @writefury?

I am.

What kind of hats do elves wear, anyway? 😛

Okay, yes, you did say that— sorry. My bad. It sounded like you were saying you would be posting excerpts from your work on your site, and would be glad if other people would do that with their own work on their own sites. But I read it wrong.

I have a cold.

What? That’s not a fit excuse? 😛

Welcome, Joy! I’ve only been on KP for a short time, but from what I’ve seen so far there’s an awesome community of Christian teen writers here. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have!

Aw come on you guys… have a heart. 😛
