How long did it take you to type that?


It wouldn't have to take him very long, all he'd have to do is type raisin bran, copy it, and paste it ten times, and copy that and paste it ten times, and Presto! 100 raisin brans in a minute.

you're lucky, at my school there are barely any assingments like that, when we actually have to write short stories the topics are boring.

I think we have different IM things, like I use msn messenger, while I think you have something else.
Just to make sure, you know where to see if you have any messages, you've probably noticed it, but here, it says in an area at the bottom of the main forum page

I didn't wan't to toss around spoilers here, so I tried to send you an instant message, I'm not sure how they work, though, so tell me if you didn't get the message or if I messed something up when I made it.

Hmm. That sounds like a problem


Actually, it's not that bad, By the time I have nothing left, my discust for the first ones has worn off and I can just repeat the cycle.

so currently what is your favorite?


actually, right now I'm having toast for breakfasts (non-cereal breakfasts work the same way as cereals)

I keep changing favorites, I'll have one, eat it for a month or so, but after that I'll be sick of it and vomit whenever it's mentioned.

Two main reasons 1) the same as Chimera above.  Less that I feel I'm a snob and more that mainstream stuff tends to water down the good fantasy/sci-fi parts.  In this case, the premise didn't interest me.

2) It seemed aimed at a younger age than I'm willing to read.


That's the thing with Animorphs, if you can make it through the first few it gets a LOT less childish, not glossing over the fact they're killing innocents, with moral dillemas and that sort of stuff. By the end, although you probably wont believe me, it get's to the point where Elantris is literally more childish then it.

Getting off the subject of classics totally, I don't suppose any of our YA people can tell me anything about K.A. Applegate's new series.  The Animorphs never appealed to me, but I found the first book in the Remnants series at the thrift store today and picked it up.  


I've read Remnants. It's basically the best YA series I've read, I'd definately read it. Even if you don't like the first one that much keep reading, the second's one of the best of the series. While the series has quite a few flaws, such as earth getting wiped out by a giant meteor we can't divert and that we only found out about a month in advance (which is scientifically unsound in so many ways) But the good without question outweighs the bad.

how so?, I can understand why it wouldn't, I'm just curious what about it

Writing Group / Re: Characterization
« on: November 28, 2005, 09:12:54 PM »
You said they were a main character, but how much of a main character are they if you haven't really got them defined in your head, and how could you get very far if you don't know how they'd react to things?
Sorry for being all picky and stuff, it's hard to repress my instinct for picking out stuff like that.
Anyway, here's this thing on that big site thing which might help [I've never actually tried it, since my characters are mostly defined in my head, I had made a bunch of character sheets once but they were disigned just to provide little pictures and be funny (with questions like blood type)]
http://elfwood.lysator.liu.se/farp/thewriting/crissychar/crissychar.html

also, I have a different thing which is for defining what the characters look like. You'd probably be able to try since you play Magic, I don't know if this works either since I don't have enough cards, it's my friends big idea. Basically, what he does is he looks through his cards until he finds one with an illustration that matches how he views one of his characters in his head and uses that rather then a shifting image in his head. I don't know if it works, but he's constantly going on about how great it is so I'd try it out.
