*covers face with hands* @Daeus please.

@Daeus LOVE IT!!!!!! XD XD

@Daeus send it to me.

@ingridrd Noooooo… :'( We will miss your presence. Hopefully you’ll be able to catch the replay!

@winter-rose If that happens, we will most certainly have no trouble coming up with story ideas for NaNoWriMo. 😉 Looking forward to having you there!

@Emma-Flournoy well yeah, but Kili as a character could have been better done even without the Tauriel fiasco. :/

@Anne-of-Lothlorien hm… ‘Out of the Mouths of Children’? Okay, that may be a little long and a little obvious… 😛

I really like @Daeus‘s ‘I’ll Fly Away’.

Aaaaaand I’m drawing a blank. I’ll let you know if I think of anything else though.

@Anne-of-Lothlorien no, I haven’t. And please don’t remind me of Kili… *groans* I like him much better in the book. 😛

SO, I offer you sympathy. *offers sympathy on a silver platter* But I really can’t relate. XD

@R-E-P sure, no problem. I work best with examples too. 😉
So take this first paragraph: The wind whistled through the crenelations on the castle wall. To Carl, it was a common place sound and he was not consciously aware of it. Regardless, it made a fitting backdrop for his boyish imagination as he planned a strategic mission against the wily…[Read more]

@sarah-h: I’ve been doing some site changes over the past couple weeks, but don’t think I did anything that would have impacted the emoji size. :/ They seem to be showing up normally for me as well. I second what @dragon-snapper said about this possibly being a zoom issue!

@ingridrd: Sweet! Hope you can make it!

@anne-swiftblade: We’ll miss having you there! As I said above, we should be able to make a recording of the session, so watch your email or this thread to learn more about how you can access that replay. 🙂

@aella: Looking forward to having you there!

@Sarah-H it’s a Dickens— about the youngest daughter of a debtor’s family who has to work to help her father pay his way out of debtor’s prison. Love story, but so much more— it’s about family, and sincerity, and courage and determination and self-sacrifice— it’s one of my all time favorites. Definitely recommend it.
As with all Dickens,…[Read more]

@R-E-P ah yes, thank you. I’m not sure what was going on with the first one; it’s working now. *headscratch* Oh well.

I did enjoy this story— loved the humor, and I also really love the way you incorporated the Leviathan passage. That’s one of my favorite passages, btw. 😉

The biggest problem I noticed was quite a bit of telling, versus…[Read more]

@jess @gretald

Awesomesauce. Looking forward to hopefully having both of you there!

@kate-flournoy @sarah-h @dragon-snapper @hope

We’re currently looking into different ways to record the session and share it with those of you who can’t come. Watch your emails and/or this thread for information on that once we figure it out!

Yay @Bluejay! That’s awesome!

@Michael-Stanton I haven’t, but that’s just because I’m a technological dinosaur and don’t have an account on any of those social media sites myself. 😛 I’m going to be getting Facebook at least, as I understand it’s crucial to marketing, but right now I’m still happily hermiting with just this forum and my mom’s email. 😉

@Daeus that’s wonderful.

Well… the only input I could offer is, just explain how books are supposed to mirror reality because reality is truth, and in the long run ‘… the truth shall make you free.’ That probably goes without saying, so I don’t know how helpful that’ll be, but I hope it is, anyhow.

Oh dear oh dear oh dear, I’m going to be gone next Friday. *sniff* 😛

But you guys have fun for me, ‘kay? 😀

@Aratrea

Thanks @Aratrea. 🙂 That’s great.

@daeus @kate-flournoy

I’ve added a feature to the sidebar that should be pretty close to, if not identical to, what we had before. 🙂 Thanks for your feedback!
