Oh WOW! I wonder why it is different???
My quote: “And this is all the reply which I am to have the honour of expecting!”

@bluejay ??????? Uh… so is mine… I looked it up in a script and it said prize… So… Yay! You win! 😛

@bluejay ??????? UH… so is mine…

Mine is from Meet the Robinsons. 🙂

@bluejay I don’t know that one. It’s definitely “Give the boy a prize!”
Which one are you thinking of?

@bluejay Some really good books that I loved were the Magic Tree House books. I just say this to emphasize @sarah-h ‘s point. Back-then stuff is good.

@dragon-snapper I know one which is “Give the boy a cookie”???????

I have one. *evil chuckle*

“Give the boy a prize.”

Let’s see who will get this one.

@anne-of-lothlorien Oooo…pick me! Pick me! It is Edmund to Peter in Prince Caspian at the train station isn’t it???
If it is, I’ll be back to quote something as soon as I can. 🙂

What Daeus said. 😛

@ethryndal That’s alright. You see that I melted no chairs.
It depends on how you pronounce Slua comparted to Sluagh. Slua is pronounced Slew-a, right? At first glance, Sluagh is read to me Slow, not Sluagh as in Cow.

@Leumeister I did when I was younger, but it was pretty awful. 😛

Yeah. I know what you mean.

@Daeus

@Leumeister welllll… should I say it?
*thinks*
No, better not. Think of an unrelated example.
*thinks again*
No…
Yes…
No…

I’m gonna say it. 😛 I actually already had a story idea with this thematic premise. The hero and the villain both have the same goal— accomplishing world peace and ending all wars. The hero doesn’t know exactly how…[Read more]

@Daeus I feel really bad I didn’t remember that scene and warn you about it. I’m sorry.

@Sarah-H this just goes to show that different people can read the same book and be affected in completely different ways. That scene was so minor and unimportant to me it didn’t even stick with me five minutes. So it’s kinda difficult to lay down exact…[Read more]

@Leumeister you already do quite a bit of showing, and that’s great. But there were several instances where you told that could have been stronger through showing. It’s the difference between this line:

She sauntered over, still trying to display an air of authority, coming in closer to examine him.

and this line:

Pandora sighed, placing her…

Not at all, @Sarah-H. Writers ramble. It’s part of the job description. 😀

That’s a great question. As far as reading books with a bad worldview like that, in the end they’re just books and no one who reads them with their head screwed on straight and their eyes on Christ is gonna get burned. In fact, I read the IC at a point in my life when I…[Read more]

@Leumeister yes, excellent idea. That way the emphasis is not on the goal itself, but why the antagonists/protagonist should or should not deserve/accomplish it, based on the rightness of their worldview.

Also a very good point, @Anna-Brie. I agree.

@perfectfifths, Welcome! I’m also Australian. I noticed you told @bluejay that you were from WA. I used to live there! But I live in Brisbane now. WA is amazing. It was sort of my first childhood home (actually that would be America, but I don’t remember that very well, so it would have to be Perth. Is that where you’re from?

@leumeister, Hi!! I’m Australian too! Before, @bluejay, @anna-brie and I were the only Aussies. It’s okay if you’d rather not say, but where in Australia are you from? And I noticed on @perfectfifths introductory thread that you guys are siblings. I live in Brisbane. Anyway, Welcome! Oh and by the way, you title (Hey guys, hi, um…) reminded me…[Read more]
