It occurred to me, actually, reading Atticus’s story about how he got Freagarthach for myself (and by the way, that story outdid Stephenie Meyer’s characters for “telling a story in a way no human being has ever talked ever”), that Hearne missed a good opportunity for a morally complex villain. …

Aha! We’re not making eye contact, I – can – resist… But why resist? Resistance is difficult, it tires you out… Just let it go, relax and let yourself go with the flow… Why ever resist your good friend Smith? Ah, yes, how could I have forgotten? Classic Sue/Stu morality: There is …

Writing a paper is such a difficult process, especially when you have to get done an article. As for me, I found a solution – custom writing service online, they do great job

It worked better with your joke as a set-up. That’s what it was waiting for. And now look into my eyes Smith is perfectly normal and totally not suspicious guy. Aha! We’re not making eye contact, I – can – resist… Because he’s friends with Atticus, of course! Ah, yes, how could I have forgotten? …

Except I think we’re supposed to like him? And I don’t know why. Because he’s friends with Atticus, of course! Also, isn’t quoting too much of the book bad form in sporking? I don’t know if it’s bad form, but it’s kind of boring. And maybe it’s me being a bit wary, but …

I literally almost made that joke! And then I felt like I couldn’t make it work, so I changed it. XD It worked better with your joke as a set-up. What aren’t you telling us, Smith? It…was? toys nervously with a bulb or two of garlic Me? I am completely innocent and I certainly …

Well, you’d need Juracan for detailed look but from what we know about Leif I’d say he falls into “villainous vampires” rather than “sympathetic vampires”. Except I think we’re supposed to like him? And I don’t know why. But I’m glad it’s not just me, in any event. It’s Atticuses all the way …

Also, I feel you should know that my brother happened to see a copy of Hounded in the library and, since he knew I was reading this sporking, decided to bring it back for me. I’ve skimmed through the chapters that you’ve already sporked and I have…thoughts. I’ll probably just …

It’s fine, Smith. I’ll reply to both your and TMary’s comments in the other thread.
- The Smith of Lie Sun Jun 16 07:32:49 2019 (City of Glass: Chapter 10 - Fire and Sword)
Uh, Smith, wrong spork—this comment’s appeared on Apep’s City of Glass spork rather than my Hounded one. Aaand I just got ninja’d… When I started writing my correction your comments still wasn’t there. The scond I hit submit I noticed that you’ve noticed my mistake… This is not my day…
- The Smith of Lie Sun Jun 16 07:31:10 2019 (City of Glass: Chapter 10 - Fire and Sword)
The above comment is misplaced. It should have been a response to TMary’s comment in Juracan’s Hounded spork. My bad.

I say all this not because I’m trying to make anybody anti-vampire or anything; if y’all like ‘em, that’s fine. I say it because I’m having a hard time telling if Leif is as horrifying as I think he is, or if it’s just me and my thing about vampires. Well, …

Hi! I realize I haven’t been making any comments on the new sporks, but I haven’t had access to a computer of my own over the last few months, and that makes it difficult to leave my usual super-long comments, and I’m just not satisfied unless I do. Anyway, I …

very nice post

from what I can tell the context here isn’t meant to be an aquatic creature, so it’s still not a great fit. Well, it did have tentacles and headed straight for the canal or something. But even then, it doesn’t explain why it did… what it presumably did. Because while I get that …

Commenting again to add to my last one: So in my Bible reading a couple of days ago I came across the word ‘Rahab’ in Psalms which led me to this.) Essentially: yes, aside from the woman in the Bible, there is precedence for the word ‘Rahab’ being the name of …

Yes, we get it. He’s fast. I bet he always finishes first. (Yes, yes I am childish enough to make such joke. Sue me.) Moving on, Jace gives Clary a quick lesson in how to use a not-lightsaber. She receives even less training than we saw Luke Skywalker get in Star Wars. So, …

Also, apparently the demon that grabbed her was a “Rahab” demon. Now, a quick google search brings up a reference to “Rahab” as a character from the Old Testament. Rahab was a woman who lived in Jericho. And may have been a prostitute. This struck me as a bit odd, both in …

I understand that it might be necessary for a “soldier” (the actual term used to describe Jace in this moment) Yeah, a soldier who throws tantrums whenever he doesn’t get what he wants and is more concerned with his relationship issues than whatever else is going on. Some soldier. Except that …
