Oh my goodness @Rolena! So tragic! 😉

All of those sound pretty creative to me, @Ivy-Rose. 🙂

I like Percy Fletcher and Oliver Sanders, @Daeus!
And Sir Camden, @Tatiana!
And Jasper Cornelius Wyss and Sean Lindstrom and Kagan Trent, @Hope!

😀

That would be great about the guy being part of the gang, @Joy-Schmidt! I would totally read that.

Well there are several options here, and some of them may not apply, but a few things that came immediately to mind are:

(1) To hold her hostage— I am assuming the older sister is in some way important, so they might want to manipulate her into doing something for them by holding her little sister against her.
(2) Are they a thief organization?…[Read more]

Haha that’s funny, I had a villain named Mr. Burton too! He was a land agent…

I have so many characters and so many names it would take for-ev-er to list them all, but a few of my favorites are as follows. I’m only going to list historical fiction ones to save time.

Minor Characters:
Button Smallwood (Police Inspector)
Corrie (Cornelius)…[Read more]

Ooh, I just thought of another favorite messed up protagonist.

Ebenezer Scrooge.

Seriously, I’m not joking. 😛

Thank you Sarah. I really enjoyed this discussion.
I believe I have stated all my arguments, and furthermore I believe each and every one of them was Biblically and logically sound, as I tried to explain. I may perhaps have failed to come across on some points, but I don’t know how to state them more clearly.

So thank you. God bless! 🙂

Absolutely. 😛

*giant tsunami crashes over island, sweeps it all away* The end. 😛

Thanks Daeus— I was wondering that too, but didn’t quite know how to say it. You put it down very clearly. 🙂

I appreciate your frankness, Sarah, but a lot of your arguments are either logically unsound or built very heavily on assumption. Thank you for sharing with me and taking the time to try and convince me, but I’m still going to have to say I disagree.

But we already know the reasons for that, and still aren’t agreeing, so I don’t think further…[Read more]

Oh the irony… and the Pope only succeeded in kicking the can a little further down the road. 😛

Oh gracious, yes, @Daeus! Absolutely show what a crushing, dangerous responsibility it is! In fact I’ve used (and am going to use) it in many ways to showcase how power can corrupt, and why it’s incredibly dangerous to trust a fallible human being with too much of it.

Only a few of my villains toss it around like it’s nothing, and it never…[Read more]

I read the article, and though again I do see your argument, I don’t agree. Tell me something I wasn’t expecting, hey? 😉

There’s one thing this hinges on, I think, and maybe I didn’t make this clear enough in my first posts. The difference is we are not talking about fairies and elves etc. as they may stand in our world. That’s an entirely…[Read more]

@Sarah-h— Well, no… I don’t believe that exactly. I believe magic, quite simply, is God’s power whether or not it takes the form of a prophet-like being (Moses, for example— all @reaganramm‘s points are completely valid in my opinion) or the form of a created natural system. Because even if it is a natural law thingy, it was still set in…[Read more]

It is. It really is. Every person should read Screwtape. Get ‘Screwtape Proposes a Toast’ as well if you can— it doesn’t always come with the rest of the ‘Screwtape’ material, but it’s FANTASTIC— especially if one is a political nut-case like myself. 😛

Wow, I might have to look into that @kate-flournoy! Sounds like a GREAT book. 🙂
