Thanks so much guys @Hope @Audrey-Caylin @Kayla-Joy!

@R-J-Wordsmith sure thing. How about… pencils? *eyes twinkle*

@Daeus I like it! As Kate says… you were born to sell things. Writing about my book is one of my least favorite things. Can’t just writing the thing be enough? As for bittersweet, I looked it up int a thesaurus and it gave me poignant, nostalgic, affecting, touching, and sentimental. Not sure if any of those fit, but…

@his-instrument The Princess Bride! 😀 Fezzic to Westley.

Oh and btw @His-Instrument, welcome back. 🙂 Glad you brought lots of truth to whatever galaxies you were in.

Yes @Kate-Flournoy, isn’t it wonderful. Rant threads are nice. *huge grin* I like ranting.

Ha! Aaaand she already posted. 😀 I leave you in the hands of a dedicated fan, @His-Instrument. 😉

@His-Instrument Oh look! A Les Mis RANT THREAD! :’D

@EMMA-FLOURNOY GET OVER HERE NOW.

*ahem* Love this topic. I could probably write a book about everything Les Mis did amazingly… you covered a lot of it. I’d also like to point out what a great job Hugo did of recycling characters— bringing them in again in all the most unexpected places…[Read more]

What?! A Les Miserables thread? And dedicated to Jean Valjean no less!! Wow. So you love Jean Valjean as much as I do?
*long sigh* There’s too much! I feel the same as you with most of what you said, so I’ll not waste time repeating it. But first, Javert—I’m not entirely sure of my terminology, but I think he’d technically be considered an…[Read more]

@his-instrument I had a small baby book at one point in time too, but I copied all the names and their meanings down into one notebook…it took a long time. 😛
Ooh, roots for names, I’ll have to do that too. I love roots. ☺ I have had people mispronounce the characters names, but in my book, it’s pretty straightforward.

@his-instrument @graciegirl Haha! Yes, it’s Emperor’s New Groove. It’s probably one of my favorites too. 😛

@Daeus Oh yeah, totally know what you mean.

@dragon-snapper Got it. Sounds good!

@dragon-snapper Great to hear! Glad it’s been helping. 🙂

Or ‘wistful’, but that may not be strong enough.

@Daeus Ah yes, that’d do it.

How about ‘aching’? I looked up synonyms for yearning and that was the only one I saw yet that might possibly sound good…

@Daeus *gags* No THANK YOU.

Hm… good point. I’m drawing a blank though. I shall return if something comes to me.

@Daeus For the [insert descriptor here] you should do ‘tear-jerking’.
No, I’m kidding. It’s true but bittersweet kind of already says that. 😛 Eh…I’ll tell you if I think of anything.

And you don’t need to eat your humble pie—how will they know how good it is if you don’t tell them?!

The only thing I’d say to fix is to italicize the book…[Read more]

@Daeus you were born to sell things, weren’t you?
I love it. I think it’s great. Can’t find anything right off the top of my head that needs fixing.
And hey, it’s not flattery if it’s true, now is it?

As for descriptions… solemn?
