I know that I haven't been a member long at all, but I have to go. I want to thank everyone here who accepted me as a friend and respected my opinions on different threads. This is a wonderful site and I wish you all great success and happiness.

Getting ready to go see my oncologist. Trying to psych myself up and stay positive.

I have to agree. Some might take offense to this one. Unless this sign is referring to something other than the obvious.

Thanks to all for the warm welcome! Wow! A heartfelt thanks to everyone for welcoming me to this community. I look forward to being actively involved in many of the threads.:happy:

Wow...you have a really weird sense of humor. Like a bizarre mix of Woody Allen and Douglas Adams.

I have to thank you for making a totally inane comparison between swords and baseball bats and then following it up with the obscure, yet witty Monty Python reference. Nicely done.

Nope. Still sounds like a cop-out to me. Just my opinion, but the very term deus ex machina conjures up images of "divine intervention" and crap like that. Ancient literature is littered with examples of this. Everything from Homer's Illiad to The Epic of Gilgamesh and even into the Bible are...

Never a fan... I've never been a fan of Deus ex Machina in any form, no matter how well-written a book is. I'd much rather kill off a MC or wipe out an entire city if I've written them into an unwinnable situation. I especially loathe DeM in the movies. I love LOTR in books, absolutely hate...

Hello Everyone! Konjurer here, just wanted to say hi and that from what I've seen, this seems to be a very good site for my great interest in writing (and reading of course) all things fantasy and sci-fi. I look forward to getting to know as many people here as I can and to learn as much as...
