I have to read this! I have to read this right now.

This sounds great :D I always believe that good YA books are out there, they just have to be found. I’ll definitely be reading this.

Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it. On a related note, the 15th chapter is being edited right now and should be posted soon (I’m hoping within a week). I’m glad to hear it. Yes, the Celestine character and her world belong to a book I’ve written, which is as yet unpublished. …

Well, I just passed by to congratulate you, Asahel, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed reading this fanfiction and I’m looking forward to see how it will end. Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it. On a related note, the 15th chapter is being edited right now and should be posted soon (I’m hoping …

Well, you have to consider that Galbatorix was in power for a century, we’ll be talking about the heirs of the noble Houses of the previous Empire, which were allegedly left to themselves; I think the only time we heard of Galbatorix actively meddling with politics is in Eragon, when …
- Maxie Tue Jun 18 12:48:23 2013 (On Tyranny)
I guess it’s hard to really consider this set up an “empire” though. It’s more of a confederation of allied city-states as others above have described. It may explain why Galbatorix has such a hard time fighting the Varden (didn’t the Empire lose every single major battle depicted in the …

I understand the premise of the work and I agree on the thesis on real-life situations, but I’ll have to disagree on the case of Eragonland’s Empire. I don’t mean to say it was well presented in the books, but there are other factors that I think need to be …
- Sìlfae Tue Jun 18 10:26:30 2013 (The Mirror Looks at Eragon -- Chapter 14)
Well, I just passed by to congratulate you, Asahel, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed reading this fanfiction and I’m looking forward to see how it will end. Not being familiar in one of the two starting settings in a crossover fiction usually is keen to hinder one’s reading, but in this particular case …
- Sìlfae Tue Jun 18 09:47:24 2013 (On Eragon the Sociopath)
Since sometime ago I wasn’t even aware of this surprisingly deep analysis of Eragon regarding his behavior; reading this article and the one on Apolitically Incorrect shone a new light on the matter for me. On my reading of the books I suppose I didn’t see it because on one …

Azure, that sounds like exactly what II are looking for! I look forward to reading it. I’m still working on a small essay/thoughtramble re. the fantasy genre, as mentioned in the forum a while back. I won’t be touching the debate about what is/isn’t fantasy, I’ll leave that to more pedantic …
- Kyllorac Mon Jun 17 16:16:11 2013 (Calling All Article Writers!)
If I were to finish it, would it be the type of material you’d be looking for? Most definitely. Also, there’s no need to apologize for not being around all the time. Life happens. :)
- Azure Mon Jun 17 14:45:50 2013 (Calling All Article Writers!)
I haven’t been around much (family issues), so please forgive me for being late to the party. I have a half-finished essay-type thing on the casual sexism presented in YA novels these days. If I were to finish it, would it be the type of material you’d be …

Hahaha… well you’ll see my crap on bookshelves one day, Pryotra xD CONFIDENCE, that’s all I need.

Incidentally, they’ve already missed the best chance to change Japanese militarism, which would be to engineer it so Tsushima was a decisive victory for Russia rather than Japan. This would mean the Tsar wasn’t utterly humiliated, delay the Dreadnought race (HMS Dreadnought was basically designed to duplicate the Japanese strategy …
- Pryotra Sat Jun 15 12:37:47 2013 (The Negative Reader Reviews: Fallen)
What does the name “Todd” mean? “Tod” means death in German. My dad speaks it, and I picked up a little here and there.
- Maxie Sat Jun 15 11:37:52 2013 (The Negative Reader Reviews: Fallen)
What does the name “Todd” mean? I don’t understand how it was foreshadowing.
- Izzy Sat Jun 15 10:58:55 2013 (City of Bones: Chapter 10 - City of Bones)
…has Clary’s father ever been named? Because if not, this comes across as really weak. No. Her mom has a box allegedly containing some of his stuff with the initials “J.C.” Actually, somehwere in chapter two we’re given this tidbit of family background info dumping: On the mantel over the fireplace was …
- Maxie Sat Jun 15 10:35:43 2013 (City of Bones: Chapter 10 - City of Bones)
Maybe that’s why Valentine thinks that his new order would be better than the old one. If the Shadowhunters are consistently portrayed as being so timid and hidebound (disrespect of “mundanes”, inability to navigate the mundane world on missions, being excessively tolerant of corruption and abuse within their own ranks) …

…has Clary’s father ever been named? Because if not, this comes across as really weak. No. Her mom has a box allegedly containing some of his stuff with the initials “J.C.” And yes, it is really weak. It’s yet another dead herring. I should have caught that. Oh well. This is quite possibly …
- Tim Sat Jun 15 08:20:54 2013 (War and Democide Never Again Spork part 31)
Rummel at least tries to address this problem… in the second book, which doesn’t mean anything since all later books in the series take place in alternate universes. Yeah, I kind of skimmed the later books after that one what-the-fuck-is-wrong-with-you description near the start of 2 that made me wonder if …
