Heyyyyy, look who’s here guys!! @Writefury I daresay no one’s forgotten you who was on here before, though there are a few newbies. 😉 So great to have you here again.
Hi Wolfgang. Don’t let anything she does to you get you down. It’ll be fine in the end, I’m sure.
At least… I think I’m sure. 😛

*thunderous applause* Welcome again, @writefury!!! Give Wolfgang a hug. Whatever you’re doing to him, he’ll need it.

*refrains from pointing out that you couldn’t have said ‘goodnight’ if you were gagged*

*folds hands in lap**subsides demurely*

It’s supposed to look like googly eyes. 😉

@Daeus ARE YOU CONCEDING THE SUPERIORITY OF MY ARGUMENT. O.o *trails off into evil cackling*

Well yeah… in real life. XD

@Daeus

Murtagh was actually my favorite character

Well good. You’re not totally without hope then. 😉

Roran does get better— now that you reminded me of how muddy his beginning as a hero was, I remember disliking him intensely as well. His journey was interesting; not a typical one. Finish the series, then tell me what you thought.

And I don’t…[Read more]

@Mark-Kamibaya Murtagh. You’re probably talking about Murtagh. Excellent choice. 😉

And as for diagnosing your problem, it’s probably just a question of what kind of reader you are. There are two types of readers (and incidentally two types of writers). Those who care most about the characters and relationships and subtext, and those who care…[Read more]

@Daeus wow, really. I thought you would like Roran for sure. Oromis… I hate Oromis. 😛 I guess it’s just a matter of taste.

Yeah, I know what you mean. It’s sad too, because he was homeschooled. 🙁

Come to think of it, none of the elves really did much for me. They just kept getting weirder and weirder… I do like Orik though. 😀

Yeah. The movie was bad.

Yeah. The movie was bad. 😛

ACK!! MOST LOVELY TOPIC IN THE HISTORY OF EVER!!! *devours it*
I have been waiting for a chance to go off on this for AGES. Thank you, @Daeus! *thunderous applause*

Okay. So yeah. I basically agree with all your points. I have a love/hate relationship with the Inheritance Cycle. There were some really, really awesome elements, and then there…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy How did you guess? 😉 Yes, Peter Hollen’s does have a version I like, which you can listen to here. Then there is a group, Zyrah, who sings the song in a really cool way. It’s more dramatic and ‘epic’ then most versions. You can watch that one here.

@emma-flournoy What? I like I See Fire. Though, to be fair, I didn’t like it for quite awhile. The credit version is ok, but there are other versions of the song itself, by better voices, that I really like.

@Mark-Kamibaya I like them both in different ways. Edge of Night is a great pensive, brooding song. Last Goodbye is more of a bittersweet triumph; sad, but not sad, because even though you’re saying goodbye now, you’ll always have those memories. *sniffsniff* I need a tissue. @Anne-of-Lothlorien can I borrow some of yours?

@Corissa-Maiden-of-Praise @Emma-Flournoy also has spinal problems, so I’m sure that doesn’t help either.

@Bluejay well I think I did know that you were a singer, but I would have known anyway because only a singer would say that. And yes, I am a singer too. 😉

@Emma-Flournoy yeah, I guess you just have to accept that you can’t please everybody. I’m used to it by now. Maybe I did struggle with it starting out; I don’t remember. But ultimately you know what’s best for your work, and you choose the opinions that help most, and that’s your responsibility as a writer.

It’s really not all that complicated,…[Read more]

@Emma-Flournoy ummmm… you deal with it. *toothy grin*
