Reading this post after so many years made me weep. Funny because I never get so passionate about the refuse i usually write but this was from the heart, the the one I have now echoes the one I had then.

Ah Elena, a lifelong love I have for you.

The trial and the doom of this time are on my head. I am High Lord Prothall, and by consent of the council my will prevails. Let none fear to follow me, or blame another if my choices fail. What I enjoy most is the apparent paradox. Before that line Prothall attempted to invoke an old custom to pas...

I don't know if I've ever met someone like Harold. Maybe I have and I had no idea... Seems life is full of polar opposites. For every action, a reaction, every yin a yang. Stephen seems to have come face-to-face with an opposite. It takes great courage to do that. I cannot imagine what that must hav...

You, who surpasses even me in power, and I have been wielding the magic longer than any other! You are the one to save or destroy us! And it should be me! For no other has sacrificed more for the privilege!” Hared is very complex and very interesting to read. Other writers might have thought to mak...

Sure enough, the spell worked, and he won the maiden's heart. There it lay in the palm of his hand, still trying feebly to beat. *grin* It's a fascinating depiction of how magic can be used or in this case misused . I would comment more but I think it's more-or-less self explanatory. Suffice to say...

I'm not sure how to react. I'm touched that your daughter cared enough about Hile Troy to cry over him. But I'm also baffled: he didn't fascinate or move *me* to the same extent. And I'm a bit troubled that a 14-year-old was reading "Covenant" in the first place. I didn't intend the story...

Hauntingly well written dear friend. I felt this part helped solidify the protagonist for the "common man". "So nice of you to join us, my young Lord Kest." An evil-eyed priest, dressed in a white robe with a black sash, snarled in his ear. "You have just barely escaped the ...

I like the idea of Guy Pierce, I'm a fan and I like his work. He has the gaunt kind of look yet still strong. However I just don't see wielding the kind of self-hatred and raw emotion TC has. It's a hard choice. I was thinking who would play Lord Mhoram actually. Morgan Freeman came to mind with the...

To echo what Fist and Faith said: HOLY @#$%!!!!!! *grin* I love this, thank you for sharing it with me! When I begin to reread the second chronicles i'll have a little better perspective on it.

A passage of fiction

This is some fiction that I wrote. Feel free to reply here with any thoughts or criticisms. I understand there may be literature out there that might be similiar in scope or idea to what I present now, but I have not read any.

That's pretty amazing. It seriously does sound like the kind of life a book should be based on. I was going to say I didn't know of anyone that would do what you have done for this woman and her family.

Korik's readiness to swear by the Vow is not merely a literary device. It shows that he is of all his brotherhood the most determined to trust in his own incorruption--or perhaps the most brittlely driven to reaffirm it constantly. Well said Durris my friend. And that in of itself is a sort of ethi...
