Wow. Everyone…I don’t know what to say…Just…just…here *hands out ice cream* Thank you!!!!

@graciegirl Yay! I’m so glad you liked it! *salutes you back* What was your favorite line?
@daeus It is the bestistest place on the internet, after all! 😀 And I love that line too. I tried to incorporate your ice cream and scones and raspberries.…[Read more]

Hey, friends, see if you can help me brainstorm for a bit.

So far, about fifty people have taken the reader behavior survey. That’s pretty awesome. Fifty people can show us some neat things about reader behavior, but we’re going to need a lot more need more if we’re hoping for reliable and detailed data.

So maybe my outlook was too limited.…[Read more]

Well, it’s well and truly past April 1st (no joke! 😛 ) so the Bunyan contest is closed. I should be hearing in the next 2-3 weeks if I win or not 😀

I received my copy of Bond’s book War in the Wasteland, which I had forgotten was part of perks of entering until it arrived. My dad is currently reading it, because it’s a about WWI and he likes…[Read more]

Well, it took me a while to find my way back here but…

@Mark-Kamibaya

This was deep. I liked your distinction between a general antihero and a true antihero. It’s something I hadn’t before thought of and now that I think about agree with. Distinction is necessary. I think that’s where my personal definition fell short, that and not clarifying…[Read more]

KeePers everywhere!

1,000 strong. That’s my goal.

I am thrilled to announce the launch of the new Reader Behavior Survey. If you haven’t already read through this thread, the Reader Behavior Survey is a survey I put together that asks readers detailed questions to probe into how they think and what influences them. “Why?” you ask. Well, these…[Read more]

@Mark-Kamibaya Whoops, I thought I replied to this already. You article was really well written. Now I have to actually write an anti-hero. 🙂

@mark-kamibaya
No prob! Thanks for finding it again. =P

Ahhh, I see that this is science I need to do some more study on… XP I’d read/heard somewhere that there were multiple kinds of ‘amnesia’ and most were only temporary memory loss, but I’ll look into it further and try to sift facts from myths. Since my book is futuristic and they’re using…[Read more]

@Mark-Kamibaya I agree, excellent article. I couldn’t really tell you whether I found aspects right or wrong, because I don’t know a whole lot about the antihero. Didn’t, at least. 😉 But it was a very interesting read, and well written. I haven’t seen any of the characters you mentioned for reference except Luke Skywalker—and that was for…[Read more]

Thanks @Mark-Kamibaya.

@Mark-Kamibaya Excellent article. I especially found the definitions of the two antiheroes helpful. I’m going to have to go think about this some more. The one critique I have at the moment is that your statement about how in the past antiheroes were found repulsive seemed unsubstantiated.

Thanks @ClaireC.

@Mark-Kamibaya That’s awesome.

@mark-kamibaya That’s good to hear.

@Mark-Kamibaya The Lord truly is amazing. I guess it’s things like this that we need to hold on to in hard times–all we can see is the pain, but God is working something beautiful out of it. I’ll be praying for your granduncle and aunt. 🙂

@Emma-Flournoy. Praying! God will be with your friend and her family. 🙂
@Mark-Kamibaya. Praise the Lord!

@Mark-Kamibaya, Praying for you and your family. loss of loved ones is so difficult. 🙁

@Northerner I have no idea where my first post went. Here. Have it again.

Okay guys.
@Hope gave me a book with three of G.K. Chesterton’s novels in it as an early birthday present, and though I have only read one of them so far it completely blew my mind.
It was The Ball and the Cross.

Has anyone else read it? If so, can we please discuss how…[Read more]
