Hey, you’re are first elf on here so far, @Ethryndal. Watch out for the dragons.

I was about to say that I entered the same contest, but then I realized I actually didn’t 😛 Double congratulations because you didn’t procrastinate like I did.

He was raised a cult? I guess that makes sense.

It didn’t disturb me in book one, but I just read the chapter about the blood oath celebration and that was pretty occult. Very disturbing. Anybody know if there are any other scenes like that later on? I’d want to skip something like that again.

@kate-flournoy That’s a helpful clarification. I’m not sure about my brother though. Maybe it’s not as clear since he’s younger. I think he’s fairly organized. I noticed it’s easy to get him to wear matching clothes if that counts. He seems to try to get his own way but is also very ready to follow. I don’t think of him as stubborn. He’s the best…[Read more]

@Aratrea if it isn’t too late, do all three of you know your MBTI type, and if so, what is it?

The Snalgli? *shudders* Ugh. I’d tried to forget those, @Sierra-R. Thanks a lot. 😛

Great points about Paolini’s weak worldview. I agree. Which is really sad, because a strong theme could really have made that series several LAYERS of more awesomeness. I basically had to look to the supporting characters for applicable life-lessons, and even…[Read more]

@Corissa-Maiden-of-Praise congratulations! Welcome to the crazy world of psychological genius! 😀
@Dragon-Snapper I agree with @Emma-Flournoy. One hundred percent. 😉 Also, one of the reasons I love fantasy as a writer is because it takes us so completely out of our reality that the truth of reality can be portrayed through it and be as fresh and…[Read more]

Giant carnivorous snails?

Ok, new favorite characters even though I haven’t met them yet. The idea just tickles me.

As a reader, I generally prefer historical fiction, but I still really like fantasy.

As a writer, though I find that I like almost all genres, what I really love about fantasy and that is the one reason I will probably write more of it than some other genres is that I don’t have to stick to facts. The only thing that is important in fantasy is a…[Read more]

@Corissa-Maiden-of-Praise Yay for you!! My Mom is ISFJ and my dad is ISTJ. 🙂 It seems like most moms are ISFJ for some reason…

@Dragon-Snapper I’ve actually though of that (well, as a reader. 😛 ). One of the reasons I like completely made up stories better than historical fiction (not always, but sometimes) is that it is completely made up.…[Read more]

ROSEY!!!!! I have so seriously missed you, seriously!! You don’t know me—I’ve always followed the forum so I know you, and I got an account earlier this year. I’m @Kate-Flournoy ‘s sister.
I love your gifs and humor. 😀 And I LOVE Blank Mastermind!! I don’t have a commenting account on your blog, but I absolutely love BM to pieces. *huge grins…[Read more]

@Mark-Kamibaya Really? Ah well, opinions. 😛
I know, it’s so fun relive it all by listening to the music.

@writefury The bestistet place reciprocates.

@mark-kamibaya @Julia-r @corissa-maiden-of-praise Thanks guys! That was very helpful! 😀

@writefury OH! OH! I remember!!! (well, maybe that’s because I started it.) What can I say: I’m a dragon.

Speaking of which, why do we as writers like fantasy and made up stuff so much? Is there any explanation for being magnetized towards that stuff. I find that I like it because of my sense of adventure. And maybe that’s just how I was raised.…[Read more]

@writefury
Hiya! I’m one of those newer people. I haven’t been on here for six months, but I didn’t just hatch. So I’m that place in between where I’m neither old dragon nor egg. I’m a young dragon, looking to make my way as a writer. Some people find it impossible for dragons to write, but @kate-flournoy and I manage it pretty well. Don’t worry,…[Read more]
