So here are some Artemis Fowl quotes:

“Let us proceed under the assumption that the fairy folk do exist, and that I am not a gibbering moron.” -Eoin Colfer, Artemis Fowl

“Certainly, Doctor. Let’s talk about your chair. Victorian?” -Eoin Cofler, Artemis Fowl

Artemis: Artemis Fowl will never be secondary.

That sounds really interesting! I can see that it’s sort of fan-fiction-y but it’s also pretty original. I like it 🙂

@theducktator

oh that post lol

@savannah_grace2009

I hate soft apples! I can only eat the crunchy ones. Oh well, I suppose somebody has to eat all the poor rejected apples I have turned my back on. When my apples get soft I usually try to get my dad to make applesauce. He doesn’t like me to brag for him, but his applesauce is amazing, by the…[Read more]

@theducktator

I’m confused. I can’t find a simile or even a metaphor in my post lol

Yeah, I think that works.

@trailblazer

I do think that if Harry Potter would cause you or someone you know to stumble, you shouldn’t read it. I mean, doesn’t the bible say that if your eye causes you to sin, to cut it out? I read Harry Potter and I found it harmless in my situation, but to others it could be detrimental. Anyhow, just like you said, I don’t want to spark a…[Read more]

@theducktator

We should probably define “magic.”

Agreed. Totally agreed. Does anyone have any ideas? My brain is just as dry as store bought peanut butter cookies. (Homemade ones aren’t dry enough to describe my brain right now.)

@gcr

That’s great! I think a lot of people don’t agree with magic, so we’re going to keep those books out of the suggestions and hopefully avoid them so that everyone can read each book.

@theducktator

I was thinking any genre people wanted, as long as it’s appropriate. Ultimately, we’ll just vote on the options, so if people don’t like a…[Read more]

*oops freed and redeemed isn’t using KP anymore*

Imma just tag a few more people here because I only tagged like four at first:

@highscribeofaetherium @whalekeeper @grcr @jonas @freed_and_redeemed @beth-torres @mineralizedwritings @loopylin

@trailblazer

Cool! We’ll definitely try and find books by christian authors — I was thinking some of C. S. Lewis’ works, not the Chronicles of Narnia but the other books he wrote. (He wrote quite a few which were mostly metaphors for the christian faith.)

I tried to read To Kill a Mockingbird and I stopped at like the third chapter…[Read more]

Wyoh, my dear online ghost, how is life?

@mineralizedwritings

It’s really interesting to read about how you’ve been inspired by the expressions on anime characters. It’s very unique and I love it 🙂

I only know how to count to ten in Japanese and that’s about it lol. Good luck learning!

@theducktator

So, the difficulty in this would be making sure that whatever we decide to read is something everyone is allowed to read, and is okay with reading. I know a lot of people have different opinions on books with magic or swearing, so we would need to take that into consideration.

Yes, I was thinking about that as well. I personally am…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

That was deep. I’m definitely going to be praying about that and seeing what the bible says.

@esther-c

I read that article and yes, it is SO GOOD. I don’t really write very happy books, but they usually turn out well — or are supposed to turn out well, because I don’t finish them often. Sort of like what @trailblazer said about how they don’t feel relevant enough. I think the most joyful story I’ve written was when I was seven or eight…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

So I’m not sure what exactly your getting at here. Are you asking if Good as a concept existed prior to God’s first use of it in Genesis? If so, I’d say yes.

What I was trying to get at is that God was the first one to use the word “good.” That means that He invented the word. However, it’s debatable whether God invented the conce…[Read more]

@theducktator @keilah-h @whoeverI’mforgettingi’mshortontime

I’m a lot more story-driven than character driven, although sometimes I come up with a character I really want to write make up a story to plunk them into. I love story ideas, and only AFTER I come up with the story do I come up with the characters, love them, get attached to them (is t…[Read more]

Wyoh looks like an egg mcmuffin. (It worked last time.)

@jonas @trailblazer

So the essence of what I was trying to say is this:

We know God created the word Good, but maybe not its meaning, because He used it before anybody else existed.

Since the bible says that the requirements of the law are written in our hearts, does that mean that what…[Read more]

Wow that worked
