2328729 (off subject)im glad u joined the fan club delphine!


message 7: by Jessie (new)

1531779 that would be cool naomi but it might be cheating.


message 8: by Naomi (new)

803318 nopes. how can it be cheating if it's what I pick? besides, I get most of my ideas from an assortment of books. and it wouldn't just be hale's books, i would take some stuff from the hollow kingdom trilogy, and the singer of all songs books, and many others.


message 9: by coeli (new)

2328729 is The Hollow Kingdom(its a link) good?


message 10: by Jessie (new)

1531779 but you would be coping them naomi. what is the hollow kingdom.


message 11: by Naomi (last edited Jul 14, 2009 06:18PM) (new)

803318 no.
The Hollow Kingdom is the first book in a trilogy, and it's really good. I really like the way goblins are portrayed. book two is Close Kin and book 3 is In the Coils of the Snake
And now you're interested Jessie! I only recommended them to you a million times during the skool year!


message 12: by Jessie (new)

1531779 flying would be way fun. It would be cool to be able to speak to technology with you mind.


message 25: by Naomi (new)

803318 ooh! like in Heroes?


message 26: by Jessie (new)

1531779 no i was thinking like in Sky High

803318 ...do they do that in Sky High? hmmm... I don't remember this... (i liked the glowy guy! lolz!)


message 28: by Katy (new)

744216 yeah they have a technopath in sky high... im not sure if she can speak to technolgy but she can control it or move it


message 29: by Naomi (new)

803318 oh! was she the 'girlfriend' that was the bad guy?


message 30: by Madison (new)

1759420 I'm pretty sure it was the bad guy.

Back in fourth? grade we had to write tall tales and mine was about a girl who could speak every language and dialect. Now one of my WIPs is about a girl who has some sort of psychic connections with photographs. The novel will probably be a mystery of some kind, but that's all I have so far. :-)


message 31: by Naomi (new)

803318 cool! though the connections w/ photos reminds me of the Charlie Bone books, the first of which is Midnight for Charlie Bone...


message 32: by Madison (new)

1759420 Yeah. My friend already told me. I've never read those, though, and she said that what I had come up with was different enough.

i read one of those & luved it...i don't think it wuz the first one...lol


message 34: by Naomi (new)

803318 Madison: Yeah. Sorry. I totally said that wrong. It is a really cool idea. xD

~peace~coeli~soccer~: lolz. nice. which one did you read?


message 35: by Madison (new)

1759420 It's not a problem. I actually looked it up on Wikipedia, and what I was thinking is different, so it's all good. :-)


message 36: by Naomi (new)

803318 thats good. so is it like she can get a feeling of the pic? like, what the mood was?

If I were to write, I would prob write very very similar to Vivian Vande Velde, though not quite the same. if you've read her books you know she's way into magic and witches and stuff, while I'm more into midevil/renaissance and fairies and ...and that sounds wrong. it makes me sound like a girly-girl. but um, anyway. xD yeah...

Charlie Bone and the Invisible Boy i think(?)
i think i also read Charlie Bone and the Hidden King (?)


message 38: by Madison (new)

1759420 Um...idk what her power is exactly. It's nothing she can control, though. I was originally thinking one thing which is definitely paranormal, but my friend suggested a different direction, which is more...mystery. It's not my priority at the moment; I have some other things I'm working on. :-)

And yes and no. If you mean fairies like Disney fairies, yeah, that is pretty girly-girl. But urban fantasy? Seelie and Unseelie Courts? That's not really girly-girl at all. Sure, most of the books seem to be more directed at girls with female protagonists and girly covers (Wicked Lovely and Wondrouss Strange for example), but there's a lot of political intrigue-y type stuff, brink-of-war situations. (Urban fantasy is my current favorite subgenre.)

As for Medieval/Renaissance...again. Most fantasy worlds are medieval-y since political and social systems as well as the lack of high-tech stuff works really well for fantasy novels. Not so much set in Renassiance-y times since it was more thought- and progress-oriented. (Not that the Middle Ages were entirely stagnant, but.) I mean, the only truly girly-girl thing about the Medieval/Renaissance that I can think of our the really pretty dresses. I adore the dresses of the English nobility, circa 1540.

But I mean, considering the state of life back then...idk. Yeah, women were expected to be a certain way, but I think right there makes it not a girly-girl subject, if that makes any sense.

Does any of that make sense?

(I'm a huge fan of history, in case you couldn't tell. :P)


message 39: by Naomi (new)

803318 Madison: lolz. thanks you made me feel much better. xD and it's not Disney faires. Tinkerbell really scares me.
that makes sense. xD

~peace~coeli~soccer~: what was it about. maybe I can figure out which one it was. xD


message 40: by Katy (new)

744216 i'm lost. what are we talking about now?


message 41: by Naomi (new)

803318 books. kinda. we're talking about the topic.


message 42: by Jessie (new)

1531779 my book would be about giant monkeys attacking the world.



message 43: by Jessie (new)

1531779 Before you think i am loony. let me say i was just kidding


message 44: by Katy (new)

744216 hey there have been plenty of weird books so i didn't mind siure i thought it was silly but you know


message 45: by Jessie (new)

1531779 i agree but none that weird.


message 46: by Katy (new)

744216 haha yeah probably not. so what would you really write a book on than?


message 47: by Jessie (new)

1531779 i don't know. what about you?


message 48: by Naomi (new)

803318 Jessie. Don't go into denial now! You are loony!


message 49: by Jessie (last edited Aug 17, 2009 06:25PM) (new)

1531779 so i maybe a little loony who is not a little crazy?


message 50: by Katy (new)
