Fanfic Writers' Virtual Water Cooler

[Eragon]

Yes, but in your room and never near me.

But he loves to have company for dinner, i mean over for dinner

Speaking of which, why do my bunnies make things worse whenever I get stuck or need to rewrite something? I'm having to edit and add to the beginning of BiAA and I'm making several things bleaker, plus the plot bunny that cannibalized Measure of a Man has decided to take up the hobby of punching the dictionary until definitions give up.

I don't have plot bunnies, I have plot dragons.

Baahahaha!!! I love the description! And yes - I can see some of our plot creatures being dragons in bunny clothing. It's really the only explanation.

Message to self: If Eragon invites you for dinner, don't go!

They broke something again... I gotta start taking notes on the damage these guys are doing.

I would say the similarity comes because both were created by God.

Could we possibly keep religion out of this thread unless it's for a fic... cause personally I'm an atheist and don't agree with what you almost describe as fact.

My point being that there are threads out there where you can discuss the creation of everything and nothing in this matter to your heart's content if you believe.

Sure looked to me like MP said it as an opinion. "I would say" generally functions as a sign that an opinion follows. Heck, I have a completely different opinion from either of you - should I be complaining right now? Doing so seems rather pointless to me.

You'll see plenty of opinions on all kinds of things on the forum, even right here in this very thread. Some of them you might agree with and some you might not. That happens to me too, but I hardly think either one of us is in a position to dictate to others what opinions they are or are not allowed to articulate here. If you disagree, that's fine, but then why not just leave it at that and move on?

For those of us in the northern hemisphere, warm weather is finally either here or about to be. How many of you like to take your laptop or netbook, or even a good, old-fashioned notebook and pen outside your house to write? And if so, where are your favorite places to do so?

I like to write on the porch, or on the deck at a bar or restaurant if it isn't too crowded or noisy.

My parents have an amazing wrap-around porch. The back opens out into a huge deck with steps down all over, so there is no railing. Oh, and it has a tin roof that covers almost all of it. It is heaven. We have a wooden swing and rocking chairs, oh and fans! Dad has put up three fans across the length of the porch (which is the length of the house, pretty much). So it's shaded completely and has a breeze anytime you want it. I'm outside most of the time if the mosquitoes aren't eating me alive.

[SF_and_Coffee]

Okay, I'm officially jealous now!

[mathpiglet]

That sounds lovely Brooke.

I write at my desktop computer, or on my laptop, or in the car. I don't think I've written anywhere else.

You're only 2500 miles away! Come on, come have a fanfic pow wow with me!

I really need a transporter!

I should explain that my poor mom is allergic to heat. And we live in Georgia. So, keeping her cool is not an easy task. My dad is so sweet to her; he'd do anything for her. He got one of those Viper systems (that starts the car with a remote) installed so that mom can get in the car after the AC has been running and not melt. And, hence the many, many fans we have in and around the house. She loves to be outside just like us, so dad's trying to make it happen as much as possible.

[SF_and_Coffee]

Awww! Oh, and I'm nowhere near 2500 miles from Georgia.
