*Happy*

:)

ok, I'm lost. What do you mean by log on a book? I don't think it ever happened to me that the site rated a book for me. I do remember finding a book I hadn't read yet marked two stars and I presumed I had clicked the stars by accident. Now if you tell me the website might give stars without me knowing, I'm going to have to check back all my ratings. :(

Oh I like that! Uplifting!

Hello and welcome aboard Trisha. Congrats on the published book. :)

When the bill for our lunch eventually came, I asked Lou if she fan..."

Did she accept his offer? :P

G. G., Carter, my MC, is possessive and sexist. He's after the ruby, but also the woman. He compares her to a jewel because it's what she is to him: a kind of trophy..."

You did a great job at showing how possessive he was because I caught it from that little bit you wrote. :)

Haha, yes, I pretty good at proscrinating. I don't need a muse to help me find things to do to keep me away from writing...oh and as much as I need a muse, if I'd have to use paper, two things would happen. First, I wouldn't be able to re-read myself, and second, there would not be any paper left in the area. All wasted paper from changing my mind too often. ;)

Hello and welcome aboard Jessica. Good luck with your book!

I like that. Possessive on the side but it gives a nice imagery of the couple.

I like that Lisa!

Send your muse my way, please! I need words to poor from my soul. My muse has been too quiet lately. ;)

I don't think of it as crap. Let me explain why.

That person finds that your story moves too fast, others will find this appealing. For one, I like fast-pace story myself, so that first critic would not put me off.

As for the character not being fleshed out enough, yeah that might deter some people from reading the book, but others might just think it's a plot driven story instead of a character driven story. For some, that's great news.

Last, they say the idea behind the story is 'pretty cool'. In my humble opinion, that's another plus.

Sure, it's two-star rating, but I don't think this should affect any future sales. It can only help pin-point the right people to your book.

I've read the review and nothing that is said would put me off. I think it may just keep away the ones who have a slight chance not to like it, which is good. It means less chances for more two stars.
I know it's hard but try to forget about it if you can. More reviews will come.

I don't have self-deposit so yeah I check often.

Start a new thread with the book you want to talk about in this folder (The Book Folder) not this thread.

“The bastard haunts my dreams. No mortal man deserves such honor.”"

Hehe I like that! :)

It sounded fun so I gave it a try. :)

What is your character's name?: Lutnalind Zhendar Xavelk or LX (Alex)
What book are they from?: The Legacy: Fate and The Legacy: Destiny
How old is s/he?: 400 Earth-years but it's the equivalent of a 30 year-old human.
Is your character a human, alien, creature/animal?: Alien (Xhartan)
Basic appearance: (hair color, eye color, etc) 6'2", dark brown hair, eye color changes with moods

1. What position does your character sleep in?
He often sleeps while sitting because it's easier to look around if he feels something is wrong.

2. Does your character have any noteworthy features?
He was born blind due to a curse. He's the product of an experimentation to improve his spell casting skills among other things. He has a scar in the shape of a star on his chest.

3. Does your character have an accent? What does it sound like?
LX has a slight accent, but nothing specific.

4. Do they have any verbal tics? Do they have trouble pronouncing certain words or getting their thoughts across clearly?
English idioms and contractions baffle him. He sometimes stammers when he can't find the right words.

6. If you were to pick one song — and only one song — to describe your character, what would it be and why?
That's a hard one. The first one that comes to mind would be 'Wheel in the sky' because he doesn't know if he'll ever make it home.

7. How does your character perceive themselves? Positive? Negative? Neutral?
As a child, he was bullied by others for his small stature, and for his strange eye behavior, which forced him to isolate himself. Although shorter than his kind by nearly a foot, he now accepts his 'handicap' as a gift. So the answer would be mostly positive.

8. Are they a quick thinker or do they need time to sort through their thoughts?
His job as a navigator is to study civilizations on different planets, which often means 'think fast or die'.

9. Does your character dream or are their nights filled with an empty blackness? Describe a dream they’ve had or a night they couldn’t sleep and what they did to preoccupy their time.
While he doesn't need more than a few hours of sleep, he still dreams a lot. When he's preoccupied and can't sleep at all, he'll exercise (swimming, running) if he can, or read if not.

10. If they had a choice, would they prefer a subway or a bus for public transportation?
He doesn't need any means of transportation since he can run as fast as lightning. However, personating a human, he would go for the bus. He hates being in places without an outside view, so the subway would be his last resort.

11. What do they think of creation? Do they believe in evolution or do they believe in God? What is their religion like?
He doesn't follow any religion. No one on his planet does. Most won't even acknowledge a Supreme Being. LX disagrees. After all, someone did create the universe, big boom or not.

13. Have they ever been so overwhelmed they had to stop and take a break from something?
He is quite often overwhelmed, but he never has the luxury of taking a break.

14. Are they a team player or do they prefer to be solo?
Solo.

15. Can they multi-task or must they focus on one subject at a time?
If he's in familiar territory, multi-tasking isn't a problem. Don't ask him to drive a terrestrial vehicle though, there are too many numbers and displays to check. ;)

16. What are their best school subjects? What are their worst? List five of each.
Everything he learned was in preparation for his line of work as a Navigator. The two planets have an entirely different kind of education.

17. Is your character an introvert or an extrovert? How do they handle big crowds of people?
Introvert. He tries to avoid big crowds whenever possible.

18. Are they a leader, do they prefer to follow, or would they rather just stay on the sidelines altogether?
His job requires taking initiative because he is all by himself.

19. If your character was suddenly challenged, would they rather run away or stay and fight?
He has sworn an oath not to harm or kill anyone so it would depend on the reasons for the challenge and if it endangers his mission or not.

20. If your character was allowed to murder one person without any consequences, who would that person be and why?
One man almost made him forget his oath once. He almost killed Rick, a vampire who has been a royal pain in the ass from the day they met.

21. Your character has been granted 3 wishes; what would they wish for and why?
His first wish would be to have a less complicated life in all aspects. Both second and third wish would be spoilers.

22. Does your character trust people right off the bat or does it take them some time to warm up to someone?
It usually takes him quite a lot to be able to trust someone.

23. Do they prefer romance or affection? What is the quickest way to your character’s heart?
Of course, like everyone else, he would have loved to marry for love, but he married for other reasons. It left his heart open for the right person, which complicated his life.

24. Does your character have any enemies? If so, who and why?
Destiny. She needs him to help her enslave the world.

26. How does your character prepare for bed? Do they sleep at all or can they stay awake for days on end without trouble?
He only needs a few hours of sleep to recuperate.

27. If your character had one thing to say to their parents before they died, what would it be?
"Why?"

28. Are they afraid of death? Do they have any regrets?
He doesn't fear death itself, but he fears dying before putting an end to Destiny's plan.

29. Does your character get restless when things are too quiet or do they favour solitude and silence? Why?
Solitude and silence are his friends. As a child, he often hid under a waterfall to be alone.
It helped him later in his carrier since he has to spend a lot of time alone in his spacecraft.

Hello Chris and welcome aboard!
Congrats on your first novel. :)
Any dog lover is a friend of mine. I have three doggies myself.

The link works now and that's definitely more like I was imagining Kenon. :)

Hey! I know Kenon and loved his story so of course I love this!

It's always fun to know/learn a little more about a character you enjoyed.

Thanks for sharing. :)

EDITED: Your link goes to a multitude of pictures but none relates. Are you sure the link is right? (Even male parts on page 2. Is that Kenon's feature? /ducks)

*cries* Meanie Nicole!! :P

by the way, what the heck is Devine Comedy and Odyssey?

*blush*
