oof
welcome worm! sorry that happened
i might have really spotty replies since i just came back from hiatus and i have only about a billion unreads to take care of BUT i cannot resist the idea of a good rp
so hmu! i'm always down for a good rp!~
and sy, i've only read the first book, but i absolutely loved it! it deviates slightly from the main storyline of the show, but it's still really good!
Okay, I need several people and it'll function vaguely like a tabletop RPG, but with more writing. How do you feel about 🌟pirates🌟? In space? And they're immortal? With questionable morals?
With this whole thing being based off of Firefly, Magnus Chase, and Star Trek. But it's more evil?
Because I was bored and reading/watching shit because I've been snowed in for a while.
And reading a bunch of writing prompts based around immortality.
Hmm I know a lil bit about Star Trek, but have no clue what the heck Firefly and Magnus Chase is… I'd be willing to do this!
Rick Riordan? Magnus Chase? Immortal dude who gets killed by his roommates a lot because apparently that's normal in Valhalla?
Eek sorry I don't know that
Nevermind. Anyways, I'm still solidifying character designs and backstories, but I could set up a private chat or something? Idk. I'm kinda just vibin at the moment.
I don't care either way! We could do it either in a thread, or in a PM!
How about I set up a PM and I'll discuss the basis of the story?
alrighty then!
I'm a little over half way with my read through of The Magicians; I am enjoying it, however, I am not enjoying Grossman's tendency of giving exposition via telling rather than showing. There are points where its acceptable, but good lord, this happens quite a bit throughout the book!
Yeah, true
I told one of my friends about this, and sent her the following excerpt as an example…..
As soon as the semester began Quentin did something he had already put off for much too long: he went to Dean Fogg and told him what had happened to Julia. Fogg just frowned and told him he’d take care of it. Quentin wanted to climb across the desk and grab Fogg by his natty lapels for what he’d done to her by screwing up the memory spells. He tried to explain to Fogg that he had made Julia suffer in a way that nobody should ever have to suffer. Fogg just watched, neither moved nor unmoved. In the end the best Quentin could do was to make him promise that he would strain whatever the applicable regulations were to the breaking point to make things easier for her. It was all he could think of. He left Fogg’s office feeling exactly as bad as he had when he entered it.
This could've and should've been shown; throw in some dialogue and descriptive language, and it would be a nice little scene! Ooooo Just gave me an idea for a writing exercise where we take a portion of bland exposition, and liven it up!
I see, and oooo that sounds like a really cool exercise!
Dang, that's a super bland and boring exposition in what could have been a scene full of tension
Finished The Magicians a while ago, and have written a review on Goodreads.
Gonna read the whole series, for I'm enjoying comparing and contrasting it to the TV show version.
Anyone know of any really good murder mystery stories?
Not really, but if you're in need of some dystopian recommendations, just ask me!
um yeah, the curious incident of the dog in the night time
HAPPY PI DAY!!! ! !!!!
Yoooooo
Oh shit it was and I forgot to get pie I feel so stupid
oh yeah, pi day
