@mineralizedwritings Aack I posted it in the wrong forum!! Sorry.

@loopylin @freedomwriter76 @theloonyone @mineralizedwritings @lightoverdarkness6 You were the ones with the group that I was going to join, right?

@mineralizedwritings You’re welcome!

@wilder-w She’s taking a break I think?

@loopylin I’ve been in a modern reservation, but didn’t actually meet anyone while I was there. They have their own rules there while still under the US government, I think….?

@loopylin I did, don’t worry!

@mineralizedwritings Ok, I love that!! Their reaction to the rain is so cute and hilarious!

@mineralizedwritings

I understand about being ‘overly sensitive’, although I’m not sensitive in the same way. I pick up emotions around me, both from real life and characters. And I have quite a vivid imagination, which tends to not forget the images I read. I understand this, and am accordingly careful. I was also raised with a stricter idea of…[Read more]

@lightoverdarkness6 There’s Kad, the dragon, who you already know, and a human couple, Feather and Crosshair; they’ll be the ones joining.

@mineralizedwritings sure! I’ll have to do it tomorrow, though.

@mineralizedwritings

Interesting topic, and very important.

I don’t write or read anything I would call dark, or that feels off to me. (However, some of what I write could be done in a very sickening/graphic/dark way. I don’t want that, and I won’t read that, so I’ve thought about this quite a lot for many reasons.)

As humanity, there is a…[Read more]

Oh! And I think you would be a Lore Wain.

1. Throne Warden
2. High King/Queen
3. Song Maiden/Master
4. and on are Lore Wain

I like the first book, but I can see how someone could be annoyed with it. The whole world took me by storm.

In fact, for me the hardest part in the series to read was between Artham’s capture and the Fork! Factory!. But that could have been from reading that part in the car… Yeah.

@sarafini

I felt a little awful after reading the last book, but I love the end, really. Not the first time I read it through, oh no, not till I’d reread the last two chapters a half dozen times. And then wrote the next chapter with my sister. It helped to know what happens next, even if we wrote it ourselves.

@felicity

I believe Tolkien wrote Sam as the central protagonist in a book with many other MCs. Frodo and Sam are the two most important, and the hobbits are the focus characters. Other MCs are Pippin, Merry, Aragon, ect.

I actually wrote a research argument paper over this question for college. It was quite interesting to dig into.

Uh oh, I…[Read more]

@starofthenorth

Yes! I love Men of Iron! The characters are so beautifully complex, the settingis very well researched–one of the best of it’s time–, and the writing itself is just a joy to read.

@starofthenorth

That is funny. I’m more of an introvert, but I am one of those who don’t mind people, and want one or two close friends. That bleeds over into my characters a lot. =|

Hmm. I have an interesting range.

Zlatan in an introvert of sorts. He’s a very intense character who needs time alone but is also a strong leader.

Vulkasin is a complete extrovert, who has a thousand acquaintances and only a few close friends. (Somewhat due to circumstances)

Wilkins is an I. He needs one or two close friends, and a little time…[Read more]

@lightoverdarkness6 @felicity

So I was just reading through y’all’s conversation, and you talked so much about Sam and Frodo…

Ahhhh!!!! Those two are my absolute favorite favorite characters of LotR. Admittedly I’ve only read the books, but that means I have a closer appreciation for what the author intended, right?

Sam is so wonderful, and I…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

It’s beautiful, and slightly foreboding. I love it!
