I know that I haven't been a member long at all, but I have to go. I want to thank everyone here who accepted me as a friend and respected my opinions on different threads. This is a wonderful site and I wish you all great success and happiness.

LOL! Thanks Reaver! The Ghost Hunter stuff really made my day!

Good for you! Someone very close to me told a very big lie that I knew to be false recently but after I while I decided not to stay angry or even sad about it. Life's way too short to waste on liars and fools.

Getting ready to go see my oncologist. Trying to psych myself up and stay positive.

I have to agree. Some might take offense to this one. Unless this sign is referring to something other than the obvious.

Thanks to all for the warm welcome! Wow! A heartfelt thanks to everyone for welcoming me to this community. I look forward to being actively involved in many of the threads.:happy:

Wow...you have a really weird sense of humor. Like a bizarre mix of Woody Allen and Douglas Adams.

I have to thank you for making a totally inane comparison between swords and baseball bats and then following it up with the obscure, yet witty Monty Python reference. Nicely done.

Nope. Still sounds like a cop-out to me. Just my opinion, but the very term deus ex machina conjures up images of "divine intervention" and crap like that. Ancient literature is littered with examples of this. Everything from Homer's Illiad to The Epic of Gilgamesh and even into the Bible are...

I have to respectfully disagree with Reaver here. I think that the science behind the story is very important. Sure, a strong MC with an equally strong supporting cast is important, but if the sci-part is lacking, well...then I guess it's just futuristic fantasy. Maybe that's why I detest...

I agree with both Sheilawisz and Graham Irwin- I think you're really on to something here. This is a very cool way of submerging yourself in your creations and I'll bet that you've written some very cool stuff.

I've seen many examples of knives or daggers made of stone but Is it practical to make swords from very hard minerals-such as diamonds?

Never a fan... I've never been a fan of Deus ex Machina in any form, no matter how well-written a book is. I'd much rather kill off a MC or wipe out an entire city if I've written them into an unwinnable situation. I especially loathe DeM in the movies. I love LOTR in books, absolutely hate...

Hello Everyone! Konjurer here, just wanted to say hi and that from what I've seen, this seems to be a very good site for my great interest in writing (and reading of course) all things fantasy and sci-fi. I look forward to getting to know as many people here as I can and to learn as much as...

While I can certainly respect this opinion, I believe that no lie is acceptable, no matter how small. I believe in being completely open and honest with people, no matter how blunt they may see me as being, it's very important to me personally to maintain that level of integrity.
