The "High Lord Elena" thread in The First and Second Chronicles sub-forum.
Apparently peeps had re-started conversation on it back around the beginning of the year... but I didn't know.
Right now I am *so* at this party, though.
(also, a newb Watcher is some posting thoughtful stuff there!)

"People without hope not only don't write novels, but what is more to the point, they don't read them.
They don't take long looks at anything, because they lack the courage.
The way to despair is to refuse to have any kind of experience, and the novel, of course, is a way to have experience."
-Flannery O'Connor
"In spite of much that militates against quietness there are people who still read books. They are the people who keep me going."

Shameless self-promotion... I'm playing in the HoG... the good ole Hall of Gifts.
Mostly on threads that are there for writing scraps of stories, i.e. the "Two minutes...go!" the thread where you (surprise!) write a scrap of a fictional scene or what-not for ...about 2 minutes.

Two good little pieces Linna. The first of your non-prose work I have seen as well - and more pertinant to the way I often feel than I would care to openly admit! Keep posting......
Your politicians screwed you over and you are suprised by this?
....and the glory of the world becomes less than it was....
'Have we not served you well'
'Of course - you know you have.'
'Then let it end.'

New in The Close:
Holsety started "Question About Alignment in Roleplaying and Elsewhere"
Renewed activity on "The Five to Fifteen Minutes thread," in the Hall of Gifts.
It's the thread in which people write for... you can guess how long!
(Also, someone come play "The Sentence Game" with me in Mallory's, please?
So then it will be trending, too...?)

Also, on second thought... it's still my move even if someone does.

Yes, that was fun.
I should Sentence-Game more again.
(Is it bad to admit that the only reason I've not been doing it more is "too much thinking"?)
Well, the game I'm announcing today requires less thinking, and only 1 sentence, not 3:
The Bad Writing Contest continues with a new round.
Come partay.
All are welcome, and... Shuram Gudatetris is hosting this round!

Bad Writing is in play again, this time I am hosting a game of Bad Verse.
I was thinking that BW is a great cure for writer's block or writer's blahs. The same for Corrupt a Wish, possibly my favorite game on the Interweb, perhaps because it's possible to be harmlessly wicked there.

It's like a brilliant work-around for neurotic types like me who think that they are supposed to be perfect before they write anything, but actually, deep down, in their hearts-of-hearts, badly want to write something nevertheless...
Corrupt a Wish is amazing.
In related news...
...umm, actually, nevermind.
