parting greeting You keep using that word; I don't think it means what you think it means. (I got what you meant, but still... what?) I don't think greeting is limited to meeting or parting. When you abuse your school's library system so you can borrow Enderverse and renew them over and over until ...

I just remembered another reason why I didn't like Ender... in EiE, at one point he complained about not having someone smart to talk to. He may not have said that, but I took it that way and became offended by that.

Another point for Bean.

I think the Fantasy Game should be videogame-ized. Now if only we knew how to get the game to analyse the player and give report then it would be perfect.

I pledge to finish my NANO novel even if it kills me.

Hey folks. I'm writing my Christmas list, and I need a little advice on what OSC works to ask for.

I know he was in ES, but the Companion... or maybe I remembered it wrong.

Hard choice between Ender and Peter. Ender lost. It's mostly because I lost interest in him during Speaker. Half of my vote for Peter is also for Peter II, back when he was a sarcastic bastard. I know, I know. Technically, Peter II IS Ender.... but he's fresher, without the load of self-loathing. Hi...

For some reason I feel hurt every time someone says they like Ender more than Bean.... After finishing Speaker, I'm tempted to change my opinion but my liking for Speaker wavers. Sometimes I like Speaker, and sometimes I don't. I can't connect it to EG or Shadow anymore; it's SO different. The philo...

I spotted an error (?) in the Companion. It says that Nikolai and Bean were both promoted to Rabbit, and Nik became commander. That's not possible because you can't lead an army you've been in before. Nik must have been pushed somewhere else so he can lead Rabbit.

Ohhhh well. I knew their large age gap. I totally expected Pet to be at least in her twenties. I didn't know how old Bean would be, but then Card all of a sudden sprang up his age in Giant. Sixteen...!!! What is this I don't even!! I'm thinking he was maybe fifteen when they got married. Possibly ev...

I see some conflict: is SiF a sequel to Giant or not? In the case that it's not, my friend will be extremely devastated, as she is obsessed with Bean to the point of insanity. CotM didn't have a really resolved ending, did it? I think another book is needed to tie everything together. Somehow. *cros...

@Bob: I feel bad for feeling good about what I've done. Is that strange? And now I feel bad again because as much as I love it, I don't kow how to continue. I wish that damned girl would come online so we can break down this wall. I need writer's lube fast. P.S. Haven't done any homework. Don't even...

You: you are my KING! ;o; You: you are our God, even though you would probably disapprove if we said it to your face. Even so. You: your fame is scary. Especially when I can see you show off during school. You are thereby deleted from people I stalk. You: come online soon; I'm having writer's block....

Whoever sides with India would have the upper hand... or so Virlomi makes it seem. India is the most populated (at that time), and if either China or the Islamic nations or even the FPE joined India, they would represent the majority of the population of Earth. Even if they joined FPE together, they...

We don't know enough history to understand the context. Which sucks. That means maybe after a few years, I will have to reread to understand.

Dear Body,

Thanks for being woman. Really makes my day, every single "that time of the month".

I found the science and philosphy of the Speaker books a little hard to follow. War was kind of hard too. But because of my loyalty to Bean, I still stand beside Shadow. Then again, Peter and Wang-mu are very intriguing. Who knows. Maybe my loyalty will sway. CotM begins far more captivating than Xe...

Just finished a few minutes ago and my mind is blasted to little bits and pieces. When I read about young Peter and Val, I couldn't stop laughing. I think their existence made me remember the author. I don't like to remember the author when I'm reading a story, because it makes the story seem more r...

My first and favourite book is Songmaster. I am abusing my knowledge of my school's library so I can renew the book over and over until the end of the school year or until I finally get a copy.

I am sorely disappointed there is no topic about Songmaster. Yet.

I just checked what was written in Giant and Exile.... It's a plot hole.

I'm afraid to stand up for Shadow. Because I have a feeling I'm going to get mauled by a bear. And the Anti-Twilight bulletproof vest I've been wearing isn't as sturdy as it used to be. I like Shadow, even though I read SftD and Xeno first. I just didn't get into it that much. I guess I kind of fail...

^ I applaud your teacher.

I'm trying to turn EG into a "cult" among my friends. I've already made my "wife" incredibly interested with my constant obsession. I have a dream, and that dream is to shout kuso at oomays, and they will say "WTF".

Screenwriters are always going to have this problem: old crew vs. new audience. You either stick to the original religiously to gain approval from people who already love it, or you create it into something everyone can relate to. Based on sellability, there is no reason to assume they will ever ser...

You wanna talk ruined? Okay let's talk ruined. Ella Enchanted was ruined. How? Characters taken, concept taken; development, storyline, imagery, all disposed of and mashed into something horribly indistinguishable from its original form, all to make it a sellable story.

Ah, I see. Thanks.

That's one of the problems with releasing a big story in little parts. You think of something that you can add in, and then regret not being able to because in the previous part, it didn't exist.

But I haven't read EiE yet, so I wouldn't know.
