Going through some rough times currently, so probably won't be around (not that I have been for a while anyway).

If anyone needs anything, just send me a message - the email notification will...

I assume you just click that you don't want to be in a cabin, save those preferences, then reselect the preferences you want.

As there's no longer any camp running, I'm not sure whether they'll be...

I'm not sure if it's the only way, but someone I know here in Australia had to make a bank account in the US in order to receive payment. Then with the conversions to get the money into an account...

Maybe a list of 'do not do this' would be helpful, also.

I can't stand it when random authors I've never read (or met or even heard of) try to add me as a friend on GoodReads. It feels incredibly...

I use proper grammar and spelling while texting, and rarely talk to those who don't. In fact, I think my aunt is the only one who abbreviates things even slightly, as she's on an older phone with a...

Who's read it? So incredibly geeky - not entirely fantasy (more science fiction), but an incredible number of references to everything we know and love.

Ready Player One by Ernest Cline - Reviews,...

Honestly? I was incredibly disappointed by it. She didn't do anything yet her problems were solved easily. The build up to General Iroh II was pointless.

Though I could just be grumpy over only...

A Game of Thrones - Discussion Post!
Chapters 1-13 (through Tyrian 2) Only

Reminder of where we are in the story:

The Starks:
Eddard accepted Robert's request for him to be the new Hand to...

Illness in the family, probably a death on Friday. Might be lurking on and off, but having trouble being social.

You go to 'Settings', and then 'Edit Avatar' from the list of options to the left.

Then you can either use a url from an image online, or upload an image that's saved on your computer somewhere. ...

It's very salty, and very savoury.

I honestly can't imagine having sweet things, like honey or jam, on bread - much less toast.

Dislike it. Vegemite is far more superior.

That IS hilarious, Phil.

I wouldn't really trust that site. I did one chapter of my work there one week, then did the exact same chapter again a week later, and got different results. First time...

Same as Steerpike, I read anything, as long as it's well written. All I need is a recommendation - and it helps if I've already established similar reading habits as whoever is recommending.

I think the wiggly lines you're seeing are there through the internet browser you're using, ALB - as far as I know, this forum doesn't have anything currently installed.

Though I could be wrong -...

I assume you're making a joke, but just in case there are those out there who don't know Tolkien fandom just because, I will say that yes, The Hobbit is set before the other three films.

I'm...

Some people don't read for its depth or various qualities they can take away from it - they read to escape.

To us, it may be poor writing. To some, who don't read much and know what's out there,...

I've seen spell checkers around on other sites, but none that cater for multiple languages. If one exists, however, and is available for this particular forum setup...

I will always adore printed books, and I can't think of a better way to 'decorate' - in my opinion there's nothing that looks better than rows and stacks of books around the place.

However, I...

A co-worker read Twilight after seeing the films, and it was the first book she had read since high school. Knowing I was a reader, she asked me to suggest other things, which I did so, slowly upping...

We've very recently had the exact same thread, could we please keep it all here: http://mythicscribes.com/forums/chit-chat/3690-where-did-you-get-your-handle.html

Thank you.

I read comics, graphic novels and manga, as well as get some of the print editions of webcomics, such as Gunnerkrigg Court and Sinfest.

My preferred comics are Peanuts and Calvin & Hobbes. I...

All bookstores I've been into in both the UK and Australia have had that section for the last couple of years, and they're going strong.

Sadly, I think they're going to stick around for a while....

Aww, whooza widdle cutie? You want a fish? ALL the chicken nuggets? (My cat adores them, with the batter off, of course).

Having no chapters sure makes it hard to use the book in a book club! Other than that, no issue.

Personally, my chapters are generally 2,000ish words, that's just how my pacing turns out. While...
