Okay, I’ve filled my obligations. 😛

Welcome just the same, Ivy! And yeah, fantasy is awesome. That’s primarily what I write. What genre do you most like to write?

Wow— that’s quite a word, Tatiana!

I thought of two other good ones, and I think Ezra Wilkinson would agree with me on this one. Existential.
And Crisis.

Ha! Right. Don’t get me started on the illogicality of the Big Bang theory. I could go on for hours and hours and hours.

Yes, as I worked through this argument on my own several months ago, I realized that really the only logical way to set up a system of powers is the way it happened in our world. Imagine that. One supreme power that created…[Read more]

Hm, that sounds like an interesting one. I don’t know that I’ve encountered that one before. I do definitely think I’d disagree with such a system, from what little you told me about it. It’s not Biblical. It’s not even logically sound.

How can there be two opposing forces within one world, both of equal power? Did the creator of the world…[Read more]

Right— there are things about the Force that I don’t think fit with a Christian worldview. That being said, I disagree (and I love Star Wars, by the way) that because the Force is just a force that anyone can use, that makes it bad.
My objections to the Force lie in that it is not a non-intelligent entity that’s just there for anyone to use. It…[Read more]

Pictureskew. And groteskew.

I mean picturesque and grotesque. 😛 😉

I agree with all of your points, more or less. The only one I might have a problem with is your fourth point. What is your definition of ‘Force’? Is it of some deistic, nonliving but intelligent entity that anyone (good or bad) can access and use? Like in Star Wars, if you’ve seen that?

And have you read the Inheritance Cycle? I ask because…[Read more]

Acid. Caustic. Sarcasm.

I’ll hold you to that.

Wow, good ideas, Daeus! That last one… that would be the most negative of negative character arches… I don’t know if I could take that…
But good ideas just the same. 🙂

Now, I have another question. I’m sure you’re thrilled to hear it.

What about vengeance in a dystopian setting, where there is no law, and no justice? Who is to administer…[Read more]

Ha. Haha. Hahaha. HAHA! HAHAHAHAHA!!! Yyyyyep… something like that…

Wow, no, really? I mean, seriously? You really think so? I mean… wow, that’s so coincidental! I mean, I hadn’t even really considered that… the thought never even crossed my mind… 😛 😛 😛

Ahem… I’ll tell you something. His initials are D-E-N-H-O-L-M.

Okay, all three of us must have been posting at the same time!

Yes, I am going to read Les Mis. Thanks, Hope. I’ll try and forget that. 😛

I am almost halfway through it— with Franz d’Epinay and Albert de Morcerf at the Carnival of Rome, just after Albert got caught by Luigi Vampa and Franz is taking the Count with him to effect Albert’s release. And yes, I’m afraid I’m hooked for life. Don’t you dare ask me who my favorite character is— there is, and only will ever be, one…[Read more]

Thanks Reagan. That’s kind of the way I was leaning, but I wanted to make sure. And you’re right— it would make it clearer what he’s going through if he goes around snapping at people and glaring and being impatient and all that. It fits right in with my… um… hypothetical situation, especially since this character doesn’t usually get angry…[Read more]

Hm… I don’t like French words. 😛 Maybe because it also took ME forever to realize THAT word was the same as the one I heard people say as ‘ron day voo’. The pronunciation is crazy.

Another good one is Diaphanous.
