@Hope knee-jerk responses can be dangerous but we has one now and we shall just spit it all out so we can organize our thoughts. 😛

As far as music goes, it’s an art form just as much as anything else. The purpose of art— all of it— is to reflect the beauty and order of God’s creation. Fan-fiction, if you will. *wink* We can all tell the…[Read more]

@Dragon-Snapper ha… *grins* @Hope‘s will before that particular one of mine, for sure. 😛 She does do a good job with the collages, doesn’t she? 😉

@Dragon-Snapper

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW DID I MISS THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????

*falls to pieces over everything* All the stuffs. It’s hilarious. And I predict that soon Cadet Snapper will rise to the rank of Head Knight and Kate shall have to retire as King’s Secretary. XD

@jess-penrose This outline works a lot better! Two comments! First, it’s unclear–at least in outline form–how he better brings about justice by staying in London. Is there a bad situation there that he needs to try and rectify? Second, he seems to too easily switch from the second EiL to the third. your “beginning of venn diagram 2” moment seems…[Read more]

@perfectfifths If you’re doing a theme of trust as well, I would begin by creating a focusing question and five different answers for that FQ with regards to your theme of trust. I think that structure works well as a general arc for this kind of theme, though. How do you plan on splitting it up between books? Or, to put it another way, what will…[Read more]

@That_Writer_Girl_99 it’s really good, only I’m having some difficulty getting a handle on Blake. He just seems sort of vague and aimless; doesn’t know what he wants or really anything about anything that’s going on. I think a lot of that might have to do with the fact that none of his words or actions are really any more than generic human words…[Read more]

@DelightinLife what @Daeus said. 😀

@Winter-Rose… sorry. 😛

@Gabrielle that’s really cool! I love it!

@Hope does a lot of stuff like this.

@That_Writer_Girl_99 not a problem. 🙂 Yes, do. I can’t promise I’ll get to it today, but it’ll be good to have it when I have a free moment again. 😉

@Cloudy I’d love to but unfortunately I don’t have time right at this moment. If you’d like to give me a link to the doc (I assume it’s in a google doc?) I can save it and get to it when I have time, though.

@That_Writer_Girl_99 okay, I’m done ignoring you. XD I should be on around twelve-ish or twelve thirty until two… would that work for you?

@DaughteroftheKing *grins* That actually happens to me a lot… XD

@DaughteroftheKing in fact… you said something really good that I want to elaborate on, because you hit on an entirely different aspect of the discussion. Without meaning to, I think, but now you know. 😀
See, you can have the most contradictory and duplicitous character in the world and still have them fall utterly flat. They have to live and…[Read more]

@ethryndal Yeah, I’m beginning to wonder if you may be able to handle this easier if you had a slightly-different theme and focusing question. “God’s Gifts” may work better as a complementary theme to a different primary theme that’s slightly broader to be able to handle more of these different themes. Something like “the highest value in life”…[Read more]

@graciegirl Seems like the message is a bit vague. What does it mean to weigh it against what we know is right? Does that mean it’s a wisdom issue and sometimes we should value the heart over what we know is right? Does it mean that we should always value what we know is right over the heart? Or is there a complimentary relationship between heart…[Read more]

Very sound advice, @DaughteroftheKing. 🙂

You said cheesecake on purpose. *scowls*

That aside… EVERYTHING IS AWESOME. You already know what I think of this story so I won’t do a full meltdown here. But guys, Beauty and the Beast is my favorite fairytale, and this is just… I love it so much. You should definitely read it.
