WOW. GUYS. SO MUCH BUSY TALENT HERE. I’m impressed every time one of you posts something. Great job, everyone.

@I-J-Anderson Erika is mine, and YES, that is gorgeous; thank you so much! I love her hair. 😀

@jane-maree Sounds like a good start. How would you say Will’s EiL is tested and moved over the course of these three scenes? Or, to put it another way, how do these scenes build on each other in exploring Will’s EiL?

@jane-maree I didn’t feel like you went overboard at all–both of those examples look great! Nice work!

@kate-flournoy Ah–got it. Sounds like that doesn’t fit neatly into any of the categories I proposed then, but it does actually resemble a fourth category Daeus and I discussed where two themes might coalesce to create a third message that stems from both themes. We couldn’t find a ton of examples of that technique in literature, so we decided to…[Read more]

@jane-maree Got it. Building tension can definitely be an effective way to use that sort of argument. Good example!

@Dragon-Snapper *gasps**grins* THAT IS SO CUUUUUUUTEEEEEE… *falls all over herself laughing because it’s adorable* I LOVE that. Thank you so much.

@Dragon-Snapper oooh, I like that. Very nice.

@DRAGON-SNAPPER YOU DID IT!!!!!!! *THUNDEROUS APPLAUSE* I love him!

@Dragon-Snapper persevere. 🙂 Good night.

@Dragon-Snapper try opening the image in a new tab, then viewing it?

@Dragon-Snapper no, I cannot. It may be me though. My browser is extremely cantankerous. Can we get someone else over here pleeeeaaasssseeeeeee… we need a third perspective…

@Dragon-Snapper it… worked? I can’t see it… *facepalm* I hate technology with every single bone in my body.

@Dragon-Snapper NO. Blame it on technology. 😛

@Dragon-Snapper I email it to myself then save it in Google.

*scrunches face* That’s a good question. 😛
Let me try to explain it in an uncomplicated way. The message of my story is that the world is worth saving/being a part of/hoping in not because man is ultimately good, (he isn’t) but because man is indeed not the ultimate answer.
Does that make more sense?

And I can tell you right now I shall be…[Read more]

@gideon-sowdon Oh–haha. This is what happens when you skim a forum post–you miss the important line that says they don’t have electricity. >.< Going for some sort of chemical reaction sounds like the best route then.

*toothy grin* Anything for a fellow dragon, @Dragon-Snapper.

First step: Get the image to a place where you can right click, hit ‘view image’ and the image is embedded in an opaque black screen all by itself.
2. Copy the url— the weird text in the address bar at the top.
3. Come back here, hit the img button, paste the url in the first slot it…[Read more]

@jane-maree Haha! Well good on you for being able to discover it in one of the hardest chapters then. 😉 Does the clash in that chapter change the characters at all in their arcs, or do they remain pretty dead-set in their ways at the end of it?

@kate-flournoy That’s awesome–glad to hear that. Once you’ve finished the course, I may have to ask you to give us some version of the “every lesson has made me realize something crucial about my story” line for us to use in our promotional materials for this course. 😉

Is the message of your story that the reason for man’s existence is to…[Read more]

@EvangelinaTroy_Rose WOW. *shudders* I’m so glad you enjoyed it. People who can have fun with things like that have my undying respect. 😀
