@Sarah-H Oh, I know. That’s very inspiring.

How did Henty know he was right? I though there was very little known about Wallace—most of his history just came from a ballad?

@Sarah-H Nope, I haven’t read that one. I don’t like Henty all that well either. 😛 What makes it one of your favorite books if you’re not a Henty fan?

Wowy for you, @Dragon-Snapper! Your first novel—yeah, I bet it is exciting!! What genre is it?

*gasp of wonder* They let dragons into college?? Will you major in phone repair? 😀 😀
I don’t think I’ll be much help here, ’cause I’m not planning to go to college.
Buuuut…if this may help at all…the president of Liberty University does not have my respect. You’ll know why if you like to keep up with the news…
I’m serious, he doesn’t.…[Read more]

@Sarah-h It’s a partly fictionalized William Wallace story. If you read it, it should mostly be for Edwin—he’s the best character in there. 😀 And I don’t think he was even real 🙁 🙁
The story was good, as I remember, and there were several well done minor characters; Wallace is pretty much Mr. Perfect though. 😛 (Not quite like the Wallace in…[Read more]

@Bluejay @Sarah-h
Hmmm…maybe I should do some more research. I think we have a book by the man himself, but I haven’t read it due to reports from at least one other family member it was boring. I don’t like boring things. 😛 That was awhile ago, though. Maybe I’d like it now.
But I do think that the Fess Parker movies, Tessa, are at least…[Read more]

@Daeus that’s great!!! I love combination spoofs.

@Bluejay Yes, I’ve seen all those movies! He’s great in all of them. And I know! Georgie’s hilarious.
Oh, the real Davy Crockett was a decent person, as portrayed by Fess Parker?? Well, that shows you how much I know. 😛 I thought I remembered doing some research on him and not being very impressed…maybe I’m remembering wrong. Where do you know…[Read more]

@Bluejay Yes I have! It was a while ago, but I remember liking it very much. That was the first John Wayne one I watched, I think. Hilarious!!

I may have only seen him in two…that one and The Alamo, off the top of my head. But I did not like him in The Alamo. He was playing Davy Crockett; I much prefer Fess Parker’s version. Have you seen…[Read more]

@Bluejay Huh. Mostest interesting. I don’t hate John Wayne, it’s just that he always plays himself, so it gets kind of old. Nice, a happy ending. That’s gotta count for something. 😀

Um…a crack-shot, maybe?

And I’m gonna read the one you sent Kate. 😉

@Kate-Flournoy Well, twue. Yeah. Twue. But I still like the relationships.

@Anne-of-Lothlorien I haven’t either. Is it good even though he died?

But guys, even though they ruined Kili in the movie with Tauriel, they did deepen his relationship with Thorin and Fili and Bilbo!! Doesn’t that count for something? I love that aspect, even though it wasn’t in the book. Doesn’t anyone else think so?

@Dragon-Snapper I think @Daeus meant it as a reference to that song. 🙂

@Anne-of-Lothlorien, I think that would be a really good one, with “I’ll Fly Away” being the song the boy sings.

@Mark-Kamibaya

Yep, British period dramas (but not Pride and Prejudice and the Zombies. 😀 ) Have you seen any? I’d definitely recommend North and South, though if you’re a sci-fi geek that might not be your sort of thing. 😛
Yeah, you’re right; I shouldn’t have lumped characters and dialogue into completely separate categories. Dialogue does come…[Read more]

@R-E-P Yeah, the way you incorporated the Leviathan passage was neat. 🙂

I only found a few misspellings: common place=commonplace, sir-coat=surcoat, and a foot=afoot. Also when you use the word ‘it’s’, as in ‘it’s place’, you shouldn’t have an apostrophe. If you do, that means ‘it is’. That took me a bit to learn, since other words use…[Read more]

@Bluejay Oh wow! Good job! *thunderous applause* 😀 😀 😀
