Yes, the votes are in! It looks like literally EVERYONE voted for The Screwtape Letters by C. S. Lewis. 

We’re also going to have a month to read each book, with an exception for very long books or very short books.

I’m thinking the month should be from today or maybe to…[Read more]

@theducktator

I have tried to post like a billion times and I eventually gave up.

Wyoh, may your pants only ever have fake pockets.

@grcr @esther-c @theducktator @folith-feolin @trailblazer @trailblazer

I have tried twice now to post and Wyoh has eaten both.

There is a voting deadline: April 13th 2024 at 7:30 PM 

Here is the link to vote on what books we want! (Finally XD)

Thanks for voting!

Wyoh, you look like ChatGPT’s error notifications.

Another suggestion would be to try and write the worst first draft you could possibly write. That’s how my dad got more than 100% on a university level essay.

@esther-c

And also, don’t feel obligated to write in first person. Do what’s best for your story. And we might have too much fiction from that POV — just because it’s mainstream doesn’t mean you should necessarily do it.

@esther-c

I wouldn’t be much help in this situation because I’m struggling with the exact same thing.

I have been writing random “scenes” because I find them less boring than sitting down and writing the whole book in order. I guess I should start to plough through the first draft…but *whines* I don’t want to!

Anyhow, you’re not alone 🙂

@thearcaneaxiom

Never mind once I posted the problem went away

@thearcaneaxiom

Ummm I dunno what’s going on here because I can’t see the forum pages, just the reply box thing

@thearcaneaxiom

Oooh that’s a hard one.

The problem is that we have no way of proving whether something outside of scripture is true or not unless overwhelmed with evidence.

@theducktator

If the answer to the question of the universe is 42, is the question seven times seven? Is that why the number seven appears so much in the bible?

If you clean a vaccum, do you become a vaccum cleaner?

If you are waiting for a waiter, do you become a waiter?

How many holes are in a straw?

Is a stick an instrument because you can make different sounds by hitting it against different things?

Are colours the same for everyone? Or is what I call red what you call red but not seen in the same…[Read more]

@theducktator

I’m pretty sure you can do it twice if you want to. I only put two because I wasn’t completely sure how many people are suggesting and I don’t want to have like two hundred books to put in the voting forms XD

@esther-c

I have the same problem! I have read literally hundreds of books, but I can never think of them.

@esther-c

I love choir! It’s just sometimes a pain because I’m not part of only one…I do the parish choir, the children’s choir, and the choir at my school. A unique thing about my church is that we’re the only parish to have a children’s choir and a children’s mass, where the children sing, the children do the readings, and the children run…[Read more]

@highscribeofaetherium

Oh my gosh I looked up “liberty mutual”

I believe my house is a rock

@esther-c

What’s up with that jingle? I’ve got nothing in my head but the billion songs I’m trying to keep straight for choir.

That sounds like a great idea! I love fantasy (but since I read the Lord of the Rings nothing seems to measure up lol) and that’s what I write. But everything else is amazing too!

@grcr @esther-c @theducktator @folith-feolin @trailblazer @trailblazer @anyone else who wants to suggest

So here is the link to suggest things:

It may or may not work, let me know if it doesn’t. We’ll do something similar to vote on…[Read more]

@theducktator

Yeah, I watched Fantastic Beasts with the expectation of an amazing film — and my expectations were dashed. Dumbledore is indeed gay in the film, but it’s unclear whether or not he regrets  his gay relationship with Grindlewald (or what nearly became a gay relationship).

Anyways, I do think it’s time for suggestions. But I can’t…[Read more]

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.

Holly: I thought you were Artemis…[Read more]

@keilah-h

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