Who here enjoys "Choose-Your-Own-Adventure" books? Especially in the fantasy and sci-fi genres. And what are the best of them that can be recommended? And if you were wanting to create your own in what sort of direction would you like for it to go in?
This is the text from the Amazon review of Lika Laruku for the whole series of Oz books. This is not a review from me, but this girl really said almost all of the same things I would like to about the other Oz characters and series in general. With a few exceptions. If she actually liked the...
CupOfJoe, it is understandable that you never knew anything about Oz beyond MGM's "Wizard of Oz." It's not uncommon these days.
evolution_rex, it may just as well you've only read the first two books in the Oz Series, and Butterfly, it may have been just as well you gave up on the series during...
Does anyone on here remember the character of Mr. Wogglebug from The Marvelous Land of Oz by L. Frank Baum? I'll explain why I'm asking if I get any replies.
Does anyone remember reading the Bailey School Kids book series? I remember reading them years ago. They were about four third-grade kids getting themselves involved in a mystery about whether or not a certain grown-up who either came to work at their school, or took some position in their city...
Has anyone on here read the original Oz books series by L. Frank Baum? If so, what are your opinions of them? What did you like the best, or dislike the most about them?
I'm quite a fan of Merlin. I have at least three series with me that are all about him. One is "The Merlin Conspiracy" the next is "The Lost Years of Merlin," the third is the "Young Merlin" series.
Has anyone read these and which is the most highly recommended? Also is there another series...
I once first took a "what famous literary character are you" quiz for myself (as a female) and then did it again and changed the answers for my main character (who is a male).
My results were I am Galadriel from "Lord of the Rings." And I did the quiz three times for my main character as I felt...
I agree with most of the points that have been brought up. It's true that fantasy (most of the time) is just set in a "just believe" while sci-fi (most of the time) is more focused on a "what if?" basis that has a thorough reasoning behind it. This was especially the differences from before...
Thank you. And yes, I am a passionate about my works and creations always. It's always cheering for me to find people who understand and appreciate such a thing. :)
I love it when Sc-Fi and Fantasy can cross each other's boundaries sometimes in awesome and right ways.
Such as for stories of:
Beings from another world coming to ours, or humans entering portals to other worlds.
Time travelling.
Obtaining supernatural powers for good or for evil...
Well said! I couldn't agree more.
For the record, I remember reading the novelization of Steven Spielberg's E.T. by William Kotzwinkle that was published just when the film was originally released in 1982. This was before the movie was received and so that is likely why it was so different. I...
Has anyone on here ever played the Sims games as I have. Versions 1, 2, 3, 4 and its spin-off The Sims Medieval. And has anyone ever been inspired to write from playing them as I have been? Especially since each expansion pack brings with it a new supernatural character.
