Finishing the fight.

I really didn't like the One Tree. I know that it's a quixotic leap outward for the series, but the setting, the drawling, listing boring scenes on the Giantship didn't enthuse or interest me. It did make for some of the more interesting characters, but I simply found that it dragged. Now, I must sa...

I never understood why white gold couldn't exist 'naturally,' i.e., native to the land's own resources. It's just an alloy.

Spoiler

I mean, there is one character who uses Gold for magic, right? What's to stop him from adding the other metal to make the alloy? I never understood that.

It's been forever, so forgive a necro-post. Lockson & Co. now has a website, lockson&co.tk From there, you can listen to all five of the episodes that comprise season 1 (which has some snazzy album art). We've also got a map, drawn and detailed by yours truly. There is a character bio and ca...

My least favorite book was the One Tree, though, frankly, I'm not a huge fan of anything after TPTP.

The first chronicles are sublime. The second are creative. I don't know how I feel about the third, but they're a fun ride.

I'm going to have to show this to my friend (and my pastor) both of whom enjoy the Chronicles.

I had a good laugh, and decided it is perhaps the best fan-fiction I've ever seen. Kudos.

Hello! There isn't a place for something like this, and technically it is fiction. This is the reveal of my latest project. I wasn't comfortable revealing this before, when it was still in its infant stages. But now that we have two episodes up for presentation, and a third one scheduled to be recor...

Last Chronicles Spoiler. Beware.

What about Jeremiah? He was off in the Land, supposedly, floatin' around. He wasn't in excruciating pain. He was just building proteins. I mean constructs.

Ha. Yeah. He might be getting up there, though. Prothall?

I think the Reject thing is stretching it a little. Maybe there's something to it, but I personally think that's stretching it. I agree that overdoing it on the analysis of physical relation between the primary and secondary worlds is a bad idea. I see some interesting connections, but I'm concerned...

I read the Lord of the Rings when I was in 6th grade, and I read the hobbit in 7th and again in 12th grade. I recently reread the Lord of the Rings just over the winter break this year, in preparation for my Tolkien Studies course in college. Yes, that's a real class. Anyhow, I read the Chronicles o...

I'm reluctant to believe that every major place in the Primary World has to have an allegory in the Secondary World. However, there might be some point to that about the hospital.

It could bear looking into.

I'd be called the Unmentionable.

Dynasty has been heavy on my mind for the last few weeks, with it aging a year old and all, and I've decided to release it free to the public, in a revised, second edition text, with new (better) cover art and a new introduction. I'm not sure when it'll be available, because it's probably going to b...

BTC, this was certainly an enjoyable read, and I like how it stayed more or less true to the original text (well, in the begining). But it gets overbearingly wordy at times. Some of the descriptios make Covenant sound almost like a bear, and others just leave the reader (even a seasoned reader/write...

BTC,

Does TPTP describe it as green? I always remembered it being white. If not; well, good call.

You summed up what I said and put it simpler. I like that.

I'm glad this got some people thinking.

I was thinking about the settings of LFB, and how there are many seemingly intentional similarities between Covenant's fears and the physical manifestation of these in the Secondary World. Is Foul's Creche supposed to represent the Leprosarium? It is described as sterile and white (like a hospital)....

I turned this in to the scholarship pool at the Creative Writing department, then read it aloud to my girlfriend, and lo, found a couple of typos.

*beats head on wall*

The second reason would be that she was,let's face it,pretty useless in the Second Chronicles. If I recall, she provides a balancing act for Covenant that was very important, even if she stung him in the ass and had to possess him.[/quote] But she's not useless because she's trying to avoid respons...

I don't think so, because the land is (well, at least before Foul up and turns Jack Frost on it) very providing in all manners for the people of the Land, and its effects are restorative, rather than depressive or stimulative. At first, when Covenant eats some Aliantha, he goes wild, but I think tha...
