If I might pop in. . . Sorry, whoever started this thread. Some of us have a more overwhelming welcome than others. Some of us apparently, start threads merely to have them hijacked. But this is a pretty good way of getting to know some of our, ehem, most vocal posters.

1. It’s really easy to be better than Paolini. One simple rule to follow:…[Read more]

@Hope, Iggyfeathers is what Peet calls the Igibys or Wingfeathers.

@Hope, I very much doubt we shall forgive you for torturing that particular INFJ. They’ve got some qualities that make them very easy to torture, don’t they? Most unfair of you to be taking advantage :).

@Emma-flournoy, I think XNFJs tend to be creepily good at guessing things sometimes. One of my best friends in real life is an INFJ, and for the…[Read more]

@Hope, Iggyfeather! That’s what I thought of. Not the Inkheart books, maybe because I never finished them? But since you write fantasy, mostly, the Wingfeather connexion shouldn’t be a problem. It’s not like someone would find you while looking for Wingfeather stuff, and be disappointed to find you write contemporary romance and crime fiction, or…[Read more]

Scarlet with a single T?

Oh, dear, not, not Featherstone. The juxtaposition of light and heavy is comical in that one. (Besides there was a Dorothy Sayers character with that name, who always looked as if she were trying to squeeze herself into measurements of the first element and not the second.)

I like Press because it’s short and to the…[Read more]

Scarlet with a single T?

I like Press because it’s short and to the point and doesn’t sound as pretentious as some. But a press is also something used to make paper books, so if you’re planning to stick with ebooks it might not fit as well, and in that case I like Publishing better, because it covers everything.

Stormfeather isn’t the best,…[Read more]

Welcome, as you’ve already been told, to the bestistest place on the internet. We have weird inside jokes here.

I would be glad to discuss art with you — I’m minoring in Philosophy, and had Aesthetics this spring, and I don’t have that many people to talk about things like that with.

Why 35 books? Actually, how do you know it will be only…[Read more]

Oh, and just to let you know ahead of time, a Word document might not work on my computer, so you may end up having to put it in a Google Doc.

(For some reason I’m not seeing an option to edit my post above?)

@Dragon-snapper, I could give it a shot. I don’t read a lot of poetry, but as it happens I’m not terribly busy at the moment.

@Dragon-snapper, I did about 900 words. It’s slow going today.

@Aratrea, my sister sent mine in today.

So far it looks like mostly just new people doing it. We need more regulars like Hope and Kate to get the other side of things.

@Dragon-snapper I’m writing too.

@Jess, @Dragon-snapper, I got a blog post done. This afternoon’s been full of interruptions, though. Social events.

@Jess, @dragon-snapper, I’m hopping on for a bit. I haven’t written anything since the say before yesterday, which isn’t so good for Camp NaNo.

@Hope, was that a reference to Blank Mastermind?

@Aratrea, I’d love to! I haven’t been a member that long, but the forum has been an immense help.

@Hope, I like this :). So, I just finished Harry Potter, so I’m going to use that as an illustration, if I may.

There’s lots of bad things in Harry Potter, we probably all agree. (I don’t think the magic qua magic was a problem, but that’s another topic.) The morality was. . . lacking. “The ends justify the means” was everywhere. People lie to…[Read more]

@Seekjustice, I think @Hope might know. Last summer I got to be invited to a cabin of KeePers. I’m not sure if they’re setting one up again this time or not.

@jane-maree, @daeus, I wrote 650.
