Kobold King Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 They're just a security precaution! They're not to hurt anyone. Unless they get too close. But there's no closet, I swear! The compilation's going exactly like anyone could have predicted so far. TwiLyght's writing quality prose about terrifying mechanical alligators, while most of my portion so far revolves around Sam eating a slice of pizza. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwiLyghtSansSparkles Posted February 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 I must warn that if a disco ball gets within 5 km of Tillamook I may need counselling. Would it help if I made Funtimes a hater of disco? The compilation's going exactly like anyone could have predicted so far. TwiLyght's writing quality prose about terrifying mechanical alligators, while most of my portion so far revolves around Sam eating a slice of pizza.

It's about this guy: Also I think his owner was training to be a spy and save the world or something. But yeah, this is clearly the main character of the movie. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mailliw73 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Guys, we're already on page 94. At this rate, soon we'll have more Question threads than pages in WHiP Just a few away from 97 now. Lightsworn Panda, I charge you in the name of Brandon Sanderson himself to post that meme on the "New Reputation Levels" thread when I ultimately pass 9000 upvotes. I shall duly prepare for the deluge of complaints and downvotes that will follow that post. give it a day or two and you'll need that post ready, Panda. Dang, I keep forgetting how verbose the Question threads are. 30+ pages read in one sitting... That was alot of pugs. Winter, Fade's ability causes him to cease existing, so there wouldn't be a heartbeat for her to find, since he doesn't technically exist at the moment. I also wanted to come on record saying that writing the scene where one of your characters shoots Nighthound in the head is incredibly therapeutic. Would you mind cha king the MEE PM? Or should I say, Alan? But the people who replaced the tree with a fruit tree didn't realize the fruit they replaced it with was Lightward's weakness. Thus ends the infinite cycle of trees. A fruit that sets off Lightwards' weakness is more morbidly hilarious than you can know. Wow. Yes it is. :/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwiLyghtSansSparkles Posted February 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 I'm reading a sporking of a book I read as a kid. In the book, a pair of siblings are whisked off to prehistoric times where they encounter a real pteranodon. Jack, the elder sibling, decides to take notes. The person reading/mocking the book points out that whoever found those notes would have to read them out of context. His notes are as follows: fuzzy skin small brain? mouth like scissors It reminded me of Lightwards for some reason. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kobold King Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Alright Mailliw, finally put together an Altermind Epic file. Now with 25% more neck birthmark: Once I started playing around with it, I realized I was way out of practice. So I did a second with things shuffled around a bit: Take your pick!

TwiLyghtSansSparkles Posted February 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Very true. I lost interest once I started reading real fantasy books. (actually, even those weren't all that great. ) Same here. I found Ella Enchanted and that was the end of Magic Tree House for me. (Okay, so the made-up languages in that book were terrible, and the societies she came across didn't make a whole lot of sense, but that was one of the best Cinderella retelling a I've ever read.) And then LotR blew EE out if the water. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kobold King Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Thanksgiving! I like the first. This new block quote thing could get messy real quick in here. Glad you like it. I wanted to add the line "According to contemporary sources, he was 'a slontze,'" but I ran out of the space I'd assigned for myself. And I agree wholeheartedly. I prefer the other quoting mechanism by far, which I stated on the site maintenance thread. My most emberassing secret to other readers: Haven't actually read LOTRs. Me neither. I've read a lot of Robert Heinlein though, so it... sort of evens out? Kind of? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
