@seekjustice @catwing I have to go now.

@jenwriter17 I’m sorry I missed you! 🙁

@catwing Ah, I thought it was something like that. 🙂

@seekjustice I don’t know how you can listen to music with words while you’re writing.  I just get distracted listening to the lyrics and forget to write. 😛

By the way, how far did you get through Silent Night?

@seekjustice Hello!  Still watching Les Mis?  What version?  Is it for SFI, or simply because you enjoy it? 😉

@catwing Hi!  I’ve got a very vague idea of what plot bunnies are…people keep mentioning them, and I’ve never quite understood.  Enlighten me? 😛

@seekjustice @catwing I’m here now!

@f5a8c3e92  Heyyy, great to see you again!! I faintly remember you. 😉 We could always use more company.

Hold on. . . Isn’t Clara Oswald called “The Impossible Girl”? *smirks with amusement* That’s just great. XD Who is your favorite Doctor, by the way?

Congrats on finishing school! I’m excited for you! 😀 😀

@jenwriter17 You arrived just a little while before I did, then. 🙂  I’ve been meaning to mention this, but kept forgetting…my introductory post was submitted on January 4, 2018! 😀

@seekjustice @dekreel @valtmy @alia @everyone It’s been great meeting all of you, and counting you as friends.  Even though it’s a bit disappointing that KP has b…[Read more]

@seekjustice You and @valtmy have covered my answer to the Mark of the Beast question, which was that as long as you could buy and sell by other means, it wasn’t the Mark.  (I actually asked my brother, and that’s what he said… 😉 )  So, as you say, if it’s just used for identification, that would work fine.

But in response to your comment a…[Read more]

@seekjustice I’m back!

I read your prologue, then read through the discussion you and @valtmy have been having.  I like your conclusions.  I only have two things to add. (that I’ve thought of so far… 😉 )

#1: If they changed their names, Chessy shouldn’t even know her father Jean’s real name as a teenager, should she?  He has changed her na…[Read more]

@seekjustice I’ll have to read it later tonight.  I’ve got to go now for a while I think. 🙁

@seekjustice  Which one?

Oh, and sorry I never came back to beta-reading SFI. I lost the notes page you emailed me and then life happened annnnd. . . yeah. So sorry. 😛 🙁

@valtmy  Sounds tedious. 😛

I’m doing more fan stuff. As usual.

@seekjustice It took a while, but I found it! 😛  You said you had no idea where the pairing between Rain and Kendall came from?  Here’s the quote from your first draft:

I felt myself drifting off to sleep, the grass prickling my neck and tickling my ear. Then I smiled. “Hey, Rain, you’ve got a thing for Kendall, don’t you?”…

@rochellaine  @valtmy  @seekjustice  @alia  @ariel-ashira  @jenwriter17  @anyone

I think I’ll try to hack away this plot hole a bit. How are y’all doing? 🙂

@seekjustice I will admit, had Rain in the first draft been carrying a torch for Quillon, it’s very likely I would have liked it that way.  I think I may have told you this before.

Ohh…do you picture “carrying the torch” as “carrying the flashlight” since you’re Australian?  I just thought of that…and it’s a very disturbing thought. 😛 (You d…[Read more]

@valtmy Hello!  I didn’t get a chance to say hi before dinner happened. 🙂  Are you still here?  How are you doing?

@seekjustice

I think that’s where my perspective is different from others.  I would possibly represent the readers who have not read/do not know well the story of Les Miserables as I had but once skimmed through Les Mis a while before I read the first draft of Stars, and did not notice the connection, so I viewed it simply as a novel of…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Dinner now, I’ll be back in a little while probably.  Hope you’re still on then.

When I was younger I used to skip the prologues along with the Author’s Notes and Introductions.  Now I read all three…as well as the dedication. 😛 But the prologue is most important to the story. 🙂

Oh, were there others who agreed with me about R…[Read more]

@seekjustice Hello!!! 😀 😀

It’s almost time for dinner, but I’m working on law school for a bit.

How’s SFI going?  You’re still not going to put Rain and Kendall back together, are you? 😉 😛

*thinks of all my favorite parts and hopes you’ll keep them* 😉
