Late again.

This chapter is a revision of my last post. After the feedback I received I thought it'd be a good idea to rewrite it. I've also reorganized my chapters. I've kind of been writing the characters in spurts, but the published order will be:

Chapter One - Kail: The Promise
Chapter Two - Ellie: Earlier that Morning (When Ellie talks to Kail's mom)
Chapter Three - Kail: The Black Case (Kail at Lance's Apartment)
Chapter Four - Ellie: Sicko (Ellie getting beat up)
Chapter Five - Kail: A Cold Heart (Kail killing the guys who beat Ellie up)
Chapter Six - Ellie: The Sword of Worlds (Ellie and Kail going getting sent to Kajsa's world by the sword)
Chapter Seven - Ellie: Another World (Ellie going to get help for Kail)
Chapter Eight - Kail: Kajsa
Chapter Nine - Ellie: Ellie and the Draken
Chapter Ten - Kail: Not Human
Chapter Eleven - Ellie: Pack of the Ancient One
Chapter Twelve - Kail: Four Bugs (This Submission)
hapter Thirteen - Kajsa: The Woods and the Wind (Kajsa going into the woods)

So this chapter is the first time we see Kail and Kajsa after they first hook up. Chapter Ten now ends as Kajsa takes Kail to her bed (as most of you suggested). This chapter then picks up the next morning.

The chapter when Kajsa goes into the woods and carves Kail's sigil takes place after this chapter. Chapter 14 will start with them going to look for Ellie.

Thanks for the comments. And sorry that I've been behind on my critiques, but I'll be catching up on them today and tomorrow.

Everything Else / Man vs. Woman
« on: August 09, 2009, 09:27:47 PM »
LOL. Hate me if you must, but I thought this was funny.

Quote
Girls -- Please have a sense of humor!

I never quite figured out why the sexual urge of men and women differ so much. And I never have figured out the whole Venus and Mars thing. I have never figured out why men think with their head and women with their heart.

FOR EXAMPLE:

One evening last week, my girlfriend and I were getting into bed. Well, the passion starts to heat up, and she eventually says, 'I don't feel like it, I just want you to hold me.'

I said, 'WHAT??!! What was that?!'

So she says the words that every boyfriend on the planet dreads to hear...

'You're just not in touch with my emotional needs as a woman enough for me to satisfy your physical needs as a man.'

She responded to my puzzled look by saying, 'Can't you just love me for who I am and not what I do for you in the bedroom?'

Realizing that nothing was going to happen that night, I went to sleep.

The very next day I opted to take the day off of work to spend time with her. We went out to a nice lunch and then went shopping at a big, big unnamed department store. I walked around with her while she tried on several different very expensive outfits. She couldn't decide which one to take, so I told her we'd just buy them all. She wanted new shoes to compliment her new clothes, so I said, 'Lets get a pair for each outfit.'

We went on to the jewelry department where she picked out a pair of diamond earrings. Let me tell you... she was so excited. She must have thought I was one wave short of a shipwreck. I started to think she was testing me because she asked for a tennis bracelet when she doesn't even know how to play tennis.

I think I threw her for a loop when I said, 'That's fine, honey.' She was almost nearing sexual satisfaction from all of the excitement. Smiling with excited anticipation, she finally said, 'I think this is all
dear, let's go to the cashier.'

I could hardly contain myself when I blurted out, 'No honey, I don't feel like it.'

Her face just went completely blank as her jaw dropped with a baffled, 'WHAT?'

I then said, 'Honey! I just want you to HOLD this stuff for a while. You're just not in touch with my financial needs as a man enough for me to satisfy your shopping needs as a woman.'

And just when she had this look like she was going to kill me, I added, 'Why can't you just love me for who I am and not for the things I buy you?'

Apparently I'm not having sex tonight either....but at least she knows I'm smarter than her.


Don't be mad, ladies. It's funny :P

Sorry if its a little long and late.

As always, thanks for the comments!

Another Ellie chapter.

I think I've decided that I really haven't been writing them in the order that I am going publish them in. I get in a mood to write Ellie, and I write a few chapters for Ellie, then I get in a mood to write from Kail's POV.

This chapter is also sort of short, about 1700 words. I debated on if I should keep going with it, but what happens next to Ellie could get lengthy so I decided to cut it off here. Let me know if you think this was a good stopping point.

As always, thanks for the help!

Everything Else / Why America's Economy Sucks
« on: July 26, 2009, 09:18:44 PM »

The article above is a long one, but if even half of what it says is true, then it's really worth reading. It pretty much explains why all of the economic crap going on today is happening. From gas prices, the mortgage crisis, the bailout and soon we'll have this new carboncredit market.

It was really eye-opening, enlightening, and shocking. Steam will probably be shooting out of your ears after reading it . . .

Finally got this chapter with Ellie done.

I'm kind of thinking that this chapter should go between what I have for chapter 8 and 9 right now with Kail.

Thanks for all the help!

Role-Playing Games / Any Roleplaying groups out there?
« on: July 02, 2009, 05:50:19 AM »
Hey guys,

I've been trying to get a RPG group going for a while now, but haven't had much luck.

I have a couple of friends who want to get a group going but we could probably use one or two more. Anyone out there want to join us for some roleplaying? We'll be playing GURPS. But if you've never played before that's fine.

We're still trying to figure out where we'll be playing at, right now its looking like one of the players houses (but its kinda small) so if you can host too, even better!

I'd also be interested in joining any groups out there if you have room for one more.

Let's hope the Sorcerers in the area don't find out about this place . . .

Brandon Sanderson / Greatest Feat of Strength when burning Pewter?
« on: June 09, 2009, 08:13:38 AM »
Hey guys,

So I am running a GURPS Infinity game with some friends next week, the Infinity settings involves a large organization that has learned how to travel to parallel earths using technology.The characters patrol and police the alternate earths and can come from all sorts of backgrounds.

One player wants to play a Mistborn.

So, I'm going to be doing some conversions over the next few days for him. The metal I'm having the most trouble with is Pewter. I'm trying to determine how much it would strengthen someone when being burned, flared, etc.

Can anyone remember some of the impressive feats that the characters were able to pull off while burning pewter? I know Vin and others survive some really nasty wounds while burning pewter. I'm trying to remember if it talks about how fast they heal while burning it.

I'm also trying to find examples of great feats of strength, etc. Lifting things, would be the best examples probably.

Can you guys think of any examples that would help me?

Okay, I think this chapter is done.

I originally intended to go a bit farther with this chapter, but this seemed like a good place to stop it. Let me know what you think though. I was going to end the chapter with them beginning their search for Ellie, but I haven't really decided yet. So, this is either all of Chapter Nine, or the first two-thirds.

Looking forward to your comments!

« on: May 25, 2009, 06:41:06 AM »
I've seen two dates for the release party, the 9th and 15th of June.

Can anyone confirm the date, place and time?

(Um, BTW Ookla, sorry for thinking you were Kas at Conduit)  ;D
