Fanfic Writers' Virtual Water Cooler

[Princess Awinita]

Winning constantly is pretty unrealistic, especially in a war. In the storyline I've got set up, there are pyrrhic victories and flat-out losses that really hammer the characters.

The four main characters in DW trilogy I'm writing all have special talents and unique back stories. The four of them together, once they realize who they really are and what they can really do, are immensely powerful. But even they have their limits. Near the climax of The Silent Storm, they encounter the most powerful servants of their enemy and have a bunch of genuine "Oh ****!" moments.

Indeed it is, winning so much alos gets boring. Lake wins and loses. In many cases she forces a draw and then respects the other party. But the minute she gets a PV {Personal Vandetta} all bets are off.

In other words, she's going to go Full Circle in my story.... poor girl

I've just heard on the news here in the UK that a 'State of Emergency' has been declared for Florida, Louisiana etc.

LA's fixin' to get hit again. We got lots of rain and some flooding here in Florida--might be different in Tampa and the Panhandle, though. The problem is, when these hurricanes get into the Gulf, the warm water and lack of any land to slow them adds to their strength and speed.

Ah, glad to see others here are fans of Robin of Sherwood. The moment I saw the series available on DVD, I grabbed it as I hadn't seen the show in about 20 years. I didn't realize how much I missed it until I saw the opening credits for the first episode. Definitely brought back some good memories.

That was my first exposure to Clannad; they and Enya have become favorites of mine since.

I like 'em too...

With tartar sauce.

Would try the cat thing, but then there's hubby's allergies to deal with. And I simply could not misuse a book so! I do have trigger-happy boys with airsoft guns, though... For next time, that is; last night, I finally fell asleep from sheer exhaustion.

Last night, I got woken up at 1am because some idiot slammed in my parked car on his way down the street.

I would have slept through the whole thing, except my mother is a nurse and thereby highly attuned to sounds of potential emergency, so she was up as soon as she heard it happen. Turns out some guy hit the right rear fender of my car, careened into the side of a car on the opposite side of the street, and then kept going down into the cul-de-sac.

He would've tried to leave, except that my neighbors are used to crashes and were already responding. They and my parents stopped the driver on his way out of the cul-de-sac. He was obviously impaired, in some way, and when the cops came we could hear him whining "I didn't do anything!"

So now I get to spend my day off negotiating an insurance claim. Oy. Wish me luck!!

Or you could go out there with a very large book and just smoosh the thing. Then you wouldn't have to deal with the aftereffects of digested frog. Cuz you know that's gotta wreak havoc with a pet's gastrointestinal system...

Baseball bat... or something similar. In case of the bat, you'd be playing Basefrog bat..

We shot a coke can once to see how powerful our airsoft P90's were... the can never recovered. So, poor frog...

You could also catch the frog and UPS it to the neighbors three streets away.

I like option three here, that way Kermit just moves down a block instead of getting peppered with bullets... but then t his is FLORIDA we are talking about, even the DEAD are armed down there!!

My kids have been shot in the leg, the arm, the back, the chest, the abdomen, the face, once one got it in the mouth (that was a trip to the dentist!)--yeah, with the gas blowbacks in particular, there's plenty of power to spare.

Too true. I live in the state of weird and unusual. I just heard a story on the news that about 100 dead bodies were found in a storage unit in the Panhandle. Turns out they were "used" cadavers from private autopsies. And I thought hubby was bad about throwing things we don't need anymore out...

Whiskey, tango, foxtrot... On second thought, never mind. I don't even want to know.

I used to think NYC was weird, being a CT country bumpkin, but FL takes the cake sometimes...

I think I heard the same story; Unless.... did any of those bodies have automatic weapons and weigh as much as a Buick ?

*is in a goofy mood*

If you mean the Bath Salts drug thing, yeah heard about that already. by weighing as much as a buick there is good reason for that; all those cruise ships and their buffets.....
