The JordanCon Fundraiser

Posted by jenniferl in jenniferl's Blog, 01 October 2011 - - - - - - · 142 views

So I feel incredibly weird about the fundraiser we launched this weekend. I think it'll make me feel better if I write a little here about how this came about.

JordanCon does not make money. It doesn't even break even on it's expenses. The shortfall has to be made up, and my husband and I have never wanted to burden the convention with debt....

The Deconstruction of a Patrician Institution

Posted by Tyler Aybara in Musings of a Young Andoran Citizen, 07 May 2012 - - - - - - · 98 views

There is no doubt that the United States' form of government was, by the design of the founding fathers, based off of the greatest civilization in antiquity, Rome. It was upon Rome's ancient and powerful frame that the America we know today was copied and forged, a testament to a time when men governed themselves and, in the process, managed to...

Eye of the World, Chapters 36-41

Posted by TheBeerPatriot in TheBeerPatriot's Blog, 30 April 2012 - - - - - - · 52 views

One thing I forgot to mention in my last post for the re-read is that Rand is starting to assert his leaderships skills in Chapters 34-36. He implores Mat to keep hope that their friends are still alive, even though Mat is in the throes of the Shadar Logoth dagger. I just love the scene where he grabs Mat and tells him...

So, early last week, Everquest went Free To Play. (I had a post on this in the Entertainment Discussion Board)
And really, its about time this game went F2P. Its one of those games, thats had its membership sharply decline, and remained stable at probably '20,000' people for the last.. 5 years? And it had gotten to the point, the only people still...

I wrote a short story

Posted by Levity in La Cadena, 24 March 2012 - - - - - - · 128 views

(I had this idea for a very long time (around three years at least), and it was difficult condensing it into a short story. I did so for a contest this year. Perhaps I might work with something like this again in the future.

Yes, I'm aware that this might seem a little confusing--I had to compress a novella-length idea into such a...

Doctor Who [Series 1 Episode 1: Rose]

I thought about what would be the best way to do this for a long while. I've finally decided that the way this is going to work is I'm going to watch the episode and type my thoughts as I watch. So heeeere we go!

This is kind of a weird opening. Is this supposed to be a wormhole of somesort? I think...

Mass Effect Rant. *Spoilers. Oh, So Many Spoilers.*

Posted by Grimm in Grimm's Blog, 10 March 2012 - - - - - - · 123 views

Let me preface this particular rant with an undying pledge of love for the majority of the Mass Effect Series. When I first started to read the articles about the production of the first game, I was intrigued. When I actually bought and played the first game, I was ecstatic. Finally, a new space RPG that was more "Hard" Science-Fiction than...

Today, the International Woman's Day of all days, I heard a story that turned my heart to ice. In my city, in a country in the Western Modern World, a young girl, aproximately 14 years of age, was savagely beaten by two guys. In front of a school and at least 20 people. She was beaten and kicked to the point that one of my cousins could hear the hitting...

I you could say that I'm lost again. I'm just so angry all the time because I'm upset and have no way to overcome my frustrations, so that makes me be a B***H and then others are mad at me and my relationships at the moment are down the drain. I just don't want to put any effort into anything because I'm so lost. What am I supposed to be...

Pippin: chapter 13

Posted by charis sedai in pippin and the People, 19 February 2012 - - - - - - · 40 views

They spent the Holidays on high alert. They hardly left the house, so much so that Pippin began to worry that the neighbors would think it unnatural. They, did of course, go to Phineas' funeral.

Convincing Grandfather to go to the public funeral was a nightmare. They saw the date in the newspaper of course, and Pippin had assumed they would attend....

Final Fantasy XIII Review Pt. 1

Posted by Xamol Na in Fantasy Fan, 14 January 2012 - - - - - - · 59 views

So, XIII-2 is out soon and I'm skipping Oblivion and Skyrim, for now, to play a refresher run of Final Fantasy XIII(13).

I will admit that I've loaded an old save and skipped chapters 1 and 2 as they are boring in comparison with the rest of the game and you gain no experience from playing them.

I will also admit that, at the time of writing this,...

Southern writer spoof WOT cover art

I’ve been playing around with spoof covers for a bit of fun and practicewith Photoshop. So, I thought I would reference the fact that Robert Jordan isa southern writer using a dead mule and a burring city. Robert Jordan, shortlybefore his death, joked about the lack of dead mules in his work. However, if...

Thinking of shutting this down

Posted by Basel Gill in Basel Gill's Blog, 09 December 2011 - - - - - - · 147 views

Okay, for the last few months, I've been blogging my thoughts on Lord of Chaos, and ASOIAF before then. I think I may have to quit doing so. It's turned out the blogging has begun eating too much into the actual act of reading. After I read a chapter, I sit there with the book open before me, looking for the things I meant to mention, and then I...

I've just read GoT and thought I'd jump on the blog bandwagon to share some of my thoughts. Over all I really enjoyed this book. I found it hard to put down and really missed it when I had to go away and leave it at home for two weeks. BUT...there was also quite a few things that annoyed me about this book.

Firstly, I disliked quite a few of the...

So yes, National Novel Writing in November has begun, and my word count has already surpassed 4,000. Go me! Only another thousand to go and I'll be one tenth of the way through the 50,000 word goal. I'll keep ya updated. For now, I will try to slowly crawl out of my exposition and have something actually happen!

Yes, let's do that. ...
