    Justice League Trailer

    Why is Zack a hack? I know many people think he did a bad job with BvS, but did you see the extended edition yet? From all the reviews, it's a much better film.

    Wonder Woman Comic-con Trailer

    I'll hold Judgement until I watch it. I think Wonder Woman can be done wrong, especially when the writing is clumsy and meant to create the obvious reaction. A good example is the line Cupofjoe referenced. Initially, it conveys the unbound spirit of a warrior, specifically a warrior princess...

    Allons-y!

    Hello Beanie. Welcome to the Scribes. I'm not sure if Beanie is your author name, but I vote you use it! Why wouldn't there be a dragon in chapter 3? Or chapter 4? I like my stories with heavy dollops of dragons.

    Of Stone Bridges

    What about sapping? Have a few men dig away the ground around one support, or dig underneath it.

    Creating Games Within Your Novel

    No one does this better than Steven Erikson in the Malazan Book of the Fallen. He incorporates a card game called which uses something called the Deck of Dragons. They are modeled after tarot cards but are associated with each divine house. So Dark would have High House Knight, High House Queen...

    Writing a Series

    TAS, the one common denominator is that they all went to college. Steven King graduated with a BA in English. He even worked as a teacher in highschool for some time (I think as an English teacher). I went to college but never finished. To this day I intend to return to round off my...

    Let's Talk About Dragons

    I have dragons in my world. Their power is such that many would think of them as deities. They break the laws of conservation in that they can create matter and/or energy. Their intelligence is beyond comprehension. Yes, they are huge. How do you fly, you ask? Well, they control gravity as...

    Let's Talk About Dragons

    But dragons have always saturated fantasy. I've read/consumed LOTR / Hobbit D&D universes Pern Malazan Book of the Fallen A Song of Ice and Fire His Majesty's Dragon Dragon Age (video games and books) Skyrim (video game) The Witcher 3 (comes close) I think it always boils down to uniqueness.

    Spoiler-Fest: Game of Thrones S6

    Of Jon being a worg? GRRM wrote a scene where he takes control of his dire wolf. I thought he did something similar in the GOT show? I think they played it off as a dream sequence.

    Spoiler-Fest: Game of Thrones S6

    More observations Daenerys bestowing the office of the Hand on Tyrion was very touching. I'm not sure exactly why her earned it. His actions incited a war. I wonder what their relationship will bloom into. Why not wed into one of the greater houses of Westeros to secure legitimacy. Speaking...

    Spoiler-Fest: Game of Thrones S6

    You're assuming she died. I know it appears the only conclusion, but I wouldn't write her off yet.

    Implicit vs. explicit questions

    I didn't take it as a command or a question, but as a request. The ellipses could easily substitute the word"please." After all, that is what an ellipses is used for, to replace a cut out word.
