    Happy Holidays

    I just wanted to say Merry Christmas (and happy holidays, I know we're quite a diverse bunch) to everyone. I've been scanning the site for the last couple days and I figured I should pop in to say hi. It seems to have grown quite nicely, so an ovation and thanks to the mods and members who...

    World Building > Writing Skill?

    J.K. Rowling, to me, certainly didn't earn money due to her world building skills. She earned money because she told a good story. She may not technically be a great writer, but her ability to tell that story in a way that was easy to understand and interesting (for an audience that consists...

    Favorite Moment/Scene in Fantasy/Sci-Fi Novel/Movie

    My fav movie scenes Lord of the rings "There is some good in this world and it's worth fighting for" - YouTube but it starts about 2 minutes in

    Skyfall (James Bond)

    Brosnan is my favorite also. And I'm fired up about the new movie.

    Recommend me some damn books.

    If you look at Sanderson I would definitely start with Mistborn. There are some pretty awesome fight scenes, but they don't involve swords. Great characters, funny dialogue, and some solid twists. Check it out.

    Member Whereabouts

    Started my first semester of college, so I've been crazy busy lately. Hopefully I'll be able to get back on here more often when things cool down a bit in a few weeks. See you guys soon!

    Breaking Bad

    I've only watched it a couple times but everyone I know loves it. It is a little harder for me to get into when I knew where the character arc was going the first time I heard of the show.

    Dark Lord? No thanks, I'm already choking on clichés.

    Kind of off-topic, but I liked several of the characters in the First Law, if only for part of the time. I loved Logen for the first two books and Luthar for the second half of the series. I really liked Collem for most of the series, although he certainly has his down swings. Ferro and Bayaz...

    what should be the next big fantasy movie or show?

    I actually think Legend would be much easier to do well, though I would love a Waylander movie. Not a huge Clive Owen fan, but I did enjoy King Arthur. I think Christian Bale would actually make a pretty good Waylander. Sean Bean would be good if he weren't already in so many fantasy...
