@daeus Just saying now that I like the middle books best. Because the climax of the final book tends to be anti-climactic and the first book tends to be setup.

It was kind of an overlay of the characters, pasted over the top of the main ship in FTL travel. I’ve seen it implemented in other places, and I thought it would be a good style on the cover. They actually fade into the background a little, as if to say, “They’re not actually there…” Perhaps I need to accentuate that a little more.

@leumeister For version 3.0 with the purple cover, I kinda like the ship blueprint, but overall the previous versions were much better. 1. They were more balanced. 2. They looked more spacey. 3. There was motion. 4. There was a focal point.

“Can you tell that the character on the right is a girl”?

@leumeister I kind of had it backwards and thought the character on the left was a girl and the one on the right was a boy. Merp.

I think cover 2 has possibilities, though I think the title is slightly too big. It kind of looks like it’s falling off the page. And about the Cover 1,…[Read more]

@leumeister Haha; no worries about the confusion! And yes, when we have the proper tech skills, we will definitely try to implement this. Feel free to keep shooting us any additional ideas you have for site improvements. 🙂

@daeus Lucky you. I have so many books on my shelf, just staring at me, waiting. It’s not fiction (though it reads like it) but have you read God’s Smuggler by Brother Andrew? I highly recommend that book. Or Uncle Tom’s Cabin? Debatable historical accuracy aside, it is a fascinating book.

HELP!!! *scrambles with fire extinguisher as he screams and activates all alarms*

I don’t have a book to read. I’ve reserved a book from the library, but I have to actually wait for it. *bites fingernails*

In the meantime, do any of you have any favorite classics? I’d prefer a shorter one so I can finish it by the time my reserve comes in.

Thanks 🙂

@jess Alright, I’m going to stop now, but I was able to write two pages of notes for one character. Thanks!

@jess Great!
Nice profile pic!

@emma-flournoy 😛
I’ve read it once before, which is probably why I’m not holding myself to it so strictly this time. I’ve recently finished the council of Elrond, which took me forever. :O
I haven’t read the Silmarillion yet, though.

@daeus No problem! I did a little bit more character development. Sorry I didn’t respond immediately, though. I had to go to dinner but my computer was freaking out, so I couldn’t warn you. Here is my late warning. *red button flashes and alarms go off*

@dragon-snapper Wrote 512. Thanks for joining in.

@ethryndal At times, but it’s more my fault than anything. I am a…selective reader. I’ve probably begun as many stories as books are on my shelf. 😛

@daeus I’ll join you for a bit.

Hey, folks. I’m going in till six.

@dragon-snapper I won’t judge you for it. Tolkien’s a hard guy to follow. 🙂

@ethryndal @emma-flournoy @daeus I actually started reading it last summer, and even now the Fellowship just left Rivendell. 😛 Slow reader, no. Sluggish reader, yes.

@emma-flournoy Yep.
