Hahaha… guess what guys, I just found out that one of my villains is an ESTP…

… and so is an incredibly vain pygmy dragon who belongs to one of my MC’s (Arianwen, @writefury— from the ‘Inter-genre Island’ thread) as a pet.

Oh yes, Boromir, definitely. Both sacrificial and redemptive.

Come to think of it, Thorin’s death as well, @hope, though in the movie. The one in the book wasn’t all that impressive.
Thorin’s death was neither sacrificial nor redemptive, and so it was more bitter than, say, Sydney Carton’s death in A Tale of Two Cities, but it worked because he…[Read more]

*huddles down and hides face in hands, whimpering and sobbing and clutching dark hair with long white fingers* I’m gonna cry.

I am so gonna cry.

*Cries dutifully, then realizes who you were referring to @writefury and starts bawling in earnest*

Yes. That death. Totally that death. It’s not just that he sacrificed his life, either— he sacrificed his reputation. See @hope, the MC had just been framed for a crime he didn’t commit and no one could prove he hadn’t committed it. So the MC’s…[Read more]

Hey, I like that. I would totally read that @writefury. Keep me on your list for potential beta readers— again, can’t promise anything because my schedule—correction: my LIFE is so unpredictable. But keep me on your list. 😀

Well, as for Quinn, the usual hardships for a slave— especially the ‘taking orders unconditionally’ bit, which will…[Read more]

Welllll… the first thing that comes to mind is a little odd, and taking Finnian a bit further than you were perhaps planning. It would involve following two story lines at once, but it’s the first thing that came to mind so I’ll share it.

Quinn gets captured by the pirates and is forced into slavery or something, and Finnian tries to find him…[Read more]

Oh boy that made me laugh @writefury! Poor guy… 😀 😛 😉

apparently I’m ENTJ-A (whatever the A means). And what does EN mean? I was looking over the rest of the conversation, but all these initials are still making my head spin.

Ha, yes @hope me too. 😉 About the initials making my head spin, I mean. 😛

This test is so amazing… can’t believe I haven’t heard of it before.

I just figured out that the MC of my first publishable work (yeah, the one that is currently high on my ‘I need to rewrite this piece of junk’ list) is an INTJ.

I don’t know why that makes me so happy, but it does. 😀 😀 😀 😀 😛 😉

Well hey, that’s good to know @gretald! That’s how I am too— but I just wanted to make sure I didn’t offend anyone who maybe didn’t feel that way. 😉

*clears throat importantly, glares around with red pen poised quivering in clenched fingers* Next?

😉

You guys are ALL very creative! Wow— who knew this forum was full of poetic geniuses! 😉

@Gretald, I would just switch up the syllables a bit in your limerick, though it does fit the form. Yours was

There was a girl called Connie,
Whose sister’s name was Bonnie,
She was so wee,
That she will be,
Always with their Mommy.

Try:

There once w…

@hope, get over here quick, @Daeus is conducting psychological experiments on the entire forum! Too cool to miss! 😛

Well @Daeus, I took the test again, and I do appear to be an INFP, but I read the description of an INFP and while a lot of it does sound very much like me, a good bit of it doesn’t. For instance, I love debate. (Argument, whatever…[Read more]

Ah! Oh, okay, gotcha. No problem.

Love the GIF. 😉

Heh-heh… I like it. I think I could make a few suggestions if you wanted to make it better… but I try not to give my opinions unsolicited. 😛 Are you open to a few suggestions, @gretald?

Well, what a small world it is! 😉

O.o Believe it or not I HAVE ONE OF THOSE @HOPE!!!!!

In fact, I’m currently smack dab in the middle of killing that exact. Same. Villain. Like, when I get off this forum and stop wasting time, I’m working on his death scene. Literally. Right. Now.

That… is so ironic it’s not even funny. 😀

Sweet, guys. Sweet. 😉

There was a young bride from the States,
Who gorged herself daily on dates.
She loved them so dearly
She ate three tons yearly,
And swelled at enormous rates.

Wow… that is cool guys. I think I’m an ENFP. 😀
