Cutmeister pointed out that I had all my party going aboard a potentially hostile ship and was worried about what might happen. I read that and went 'oh yeah, should have thought about that' though since I've never had the opportunity to board hostil... [Read More]
My primary field is medicine, so just about anything in that field is fair game, and if I don't know it I can usually find out. Caveat: I can tell you how specific diseases can affect the body, but I am not able to give out specific medical advice to... [Read More]
I think some Star Wars songs could be cool. We could use some good stuff. I can't imagine there's not some great stuff out there in the SW universe. I imagine for some species it might be a form of communication. The only time we see music in the m... [Read More]
"Did the Force assist Landru in saving his people" and "Was Landru evil" are two very different questions. :) The first asks about method, the second ethics. A third question--did Landru use the Force or did the Force use him? I... [Read More]
This is something you can play with. If you want to keep them tied on their planet/system exclusively, you might want to do something that prevents them from being x miles outside the atmosphere/system or something like that, or alter their hive ment... [Read More]
I have a tough time justifying exterminating an entire species for any reason. I'm not a moral relativist. :) I can understand how he went down that path, however.... [Read More]
I'd love it. Now if only I could get paid. To tell you all the truth I haven't had this much fun in ages. Reviewing, editing, critiquing is fun because I can act as a teacher, somthing I would never get hired to do. One of the reasons I didn't fini... [Read More]
Speaking of stickies (I know we weren't but I was thinking about it) I may post a thread on 'Resources' and if stingerhs wants to sticky it, then he can. I also thought that since a million of us ask you how to get a review, but don't read the entire... [Read More]
Not to worry. I studied it for you. Question, I'm trying to remember the name for a reaction when a chemical such as caffeine in an adult, which causes them to be hyped up, causes a young child to go to sleep or relax instead? Paradoxical effect. (... [Read More]
Did I mention I've never studied British naval history? :) OK, I know about Nelson, but only because of a class on Fr. Revolution/Napoleon.... [Read More]
Now this could be because I was reading this last week while having some rather nasty insomnia worrying about my cat (who is better), and reading the forum at 1 am is not conducive to remembering things clearly. So please forgive a totally stupid qu... [Read More]
Not all of them will die well. Two will be rather badly and worse, will fail. One will die off screen and you may never know why. One will die nobly, the other because of a personal choice. I am more sorry than you are. As the author, I am letting t... [Read More]
Hmm. I guess you didn't want to just spring that on your story's readers, eh? Preparing us for an ending we might not like too much? FWIW, I really liked the ending of The Matrix: Revolutions movie, if that gives you any indication of my particular t... [Read More]
I wonder what are the odds for surviving a Liardin tornado? :lol: I don't know. I'm making this up as I go along. :D And I'm betting Jolee's one of those 'Never tell me the odds!' kind of people. :) Seriously, it depends on how strong the tornado i... [Read More]
^ I've been fascinated with them ever since I saw "The Wizard of Oz" as a kid. In 4th grade, I wanted to be a meteorologist when all my other girl friends wanted to be homemakers (nothing wrong with that, btw), teachers, or nurses--the 'tra... [Read More]
@Hall--Jolee cutting down the tree-- :lol: @JM12--I think mine has roughly a 5-10% reply rate (out of views). That doesn't really bother me. Some people just want to read it and not necessarily say much if anything, and that's fine. I'll view a threa... [Read More]
^ That's because I didn't consider submitting there for quite some time (not that there's anything wrong with KFM, the thought just hadn't occurred to me, and then I wanted to lurk a bit). I don't want to upload a ton of chapters all at one time, so... [Read More]
^ More views than replies: Lots of people reading, not so many commenting. I'll go read an update/post, but if I don't have the time to read it in depth so that I can make an appropriate comment, I won't leave a reply at that point (and this week I w... [Read More]
This is an updated version of Ch. 17. Thanks for the beta, Jiara. —————————————- Chapter 17: The Capture I turned back to look at Talin, whose lips were set in disappointment. “Jolee and I are going to head out in a cou... [Read More]
^ I was done with ER once Mark Green left. When they started really getting away from their original mission of showing life in an ER (which they did really well the first couple of seasons) and started being overly obvious about pushing political ag... [Read More]
^ If Yoda could tell Luke the future was always in motion, I figured Jolee could do that, too. :) @Pottsie--one of my (many) favorite lines in "The Incredibles" (which is one of the few movies outside of the SW series that I've seen more t... [Read More]
Chapter 16: The Story of Reeca “Feeling any better, lad?” Jolee asked. “Still rotten, but better,” Talin breathed quietly. “‘Better’ is better, we’ll take it,” Jolee replied. “You should be up and back to normal in a few days.... [Read More]
You have a good story going here--I'd toss it in the corner for awhile, and then reread your entire story from the start after a week or two (or when school lets out and you have more time to just relax a bit). You may find some new ideas or themes t... [Read More]
