Well, yes, that's what this thread was.  I was just presenting an idea.  *smiles*

I mean, there are so many different kinds of metal out there, so it would be hard to imagine that those could be the only ones with power.   (unless they actually are.  *shrugs*)

I mean metals like

Bismuth and Rosallum(Rose's Metal)

Cobalt and Stellite

Magnesium and Magnox....

Those are combos that sound cool.

Just fyi, GoryCat, my actual username is Chaos2651, this is just my holiday name change. I like to be confusing that way.

Ah, thanks.  I recognized your picture and your writing style, but was thrown off by the name.  I'm new to posting but I've been reading a while longer.

You guys try too hard.  My books are literally all stacked up in my closet randomly on some larger shelves.  I know where they all are.  It's great.

It would take someone else a good twenty minutes to find anything, though.  Like literally; fantasy, classics, mythological, contemporary, sci-fi, writing, linguistics, etc...are all just mixed up together.  Let's call it ordered chaos.



On a similar, yet, unrelated note--you all should see my writing notes.  If I died halfway through writing the series I am planning, there would be no one who would be able to put the rest of the story together.  Nothing is in order and most of it is just random note after random note.

Here, let me grab one. 

On a sticky note that was attached to some prose that had nothing to do with the note: "Dagger doesn't really hold hidden powers...it's just a piece of the puzzle you need on the road to TDP.  The enchantment may work now...think."

Or this:
"On Atrius:
 'I should feel guilty.'
He didn't.

The Beowulf monty python thing...."(I can't reveal the rest of this )

It's going to be hell when I actually have to put this all together!  Woo!

Duuuuude.  If there was such a thing as linguistic acrobatics, i can imagine that as a primary example. Either that, or on the blooper reel for the sport...i can't real tell yet.

Reminds me of the Metal art--where the "Artists" put together a pile of mashed up or smoothed up slabs and chunks of I'm sitting there thinking, "Is there a specific order to all this? Was this intentional? Perhaps he knew that the pompous rich folk wouldn't dare call it crap, fearing that others might understand it and they will be seen as less than competent. So they sit there admiring in full focus. Making his random, artless piece, into an "abstract" art...

Did I just get compared to a bad artist?

I like HOA the best. I think it's probably because I like worldbuilding so much, and this one had so much explanation of that in it. Having things explained was great for me, as it helped me understand how the world worked so much better.

And the fight scenes in the HOA were the most epic. As a fight choreographer, I'm biased in this regard, and love a good fight scene. Though Kel's fight with the Inquisitor is also an awesome one. When these get made into movies, I want to choreograph the fights... Please???

Also, this should be labeled as a Spoiler thread, because I wanted to go into specifics as to why I liked the last book best, but I didn't want it to put in spoilers where people weren't warned.
