No, that would be getting impaled by a flaming toilet seat. Watch the first half hour of the first episode of Dead Like Me.

OMG that's hilarious. That actually happened in that show?

[Niki]

She died and became a Grim Reaper. I was watching it for nano research.

Wow. Haha. Flaming toilet seat ... jeez.

Hey, Brigid, maybe Eva should have died THAT way. That would certainly make her extremely depressed.

JOKING. lol XD

[Annemarie, hi]

I probably swear more in my writing than I should, but for the particular story I'm writing right now thats just the characters personality. She loves doing this that she shouldent and shes real nasty and mean some times, because thats just who she is. If I had her say shoot instead of the other word or darn, it wouldent make sense with the character.

That's what I was trying to say before, sometimes the character's personality allows for that language.

[Annemarie, hi]

Yes, so if your character swore it just wouldn't be thier personality and it wouldent fit, right?

[Ky]

For my characters? Yes. If mine swore, it wouldn't fit.

[Ky]

At the moment, the character view I am writing in is a 14 year old girl and a clone who doesn't even use abbreiviations!

[Ky]

I'll post a link...if you post a link for yours! lol..I want to read yours too.

I think that name is interesting! And if it fits your charrie, then it works!

[Krys]

I need some help coming up for a good name for like, an older man who you would expect to see sitting in a libery. He's a mentor and no one really knows his first name, and instead they all call him by a last name, Please help :P

Your welcome!

this is the link to my list of names...not all of them are on yet, I haven't had the time. I'll be sure to update it soon.

[Krys]

Oh, cool :)

[Ky]

It might help.

[Krys]

Yeah... I've always been really bad with names. I've only ever come up with a few of my own that are half-decent-- Lumiere, Ombre, Dae, Jeremiah, Kierlan, Kristin and some other ones. That's why I love baby-naming sites :P

[Ky]

Keirlan is a good name. I know someone named Keiran, adding the 'l' is cool!

[Krys]

Yeah :P Kierlan is the name of my male main character in Fallen, who for some reason is one of my favorite characters.

[Ky]

lol..prob cause you thought up his name, and probably made it to fit him! (don't you just love it when it works out like that?!)

[Krys]

((lol, yes!))

Suprisingly the name actually kind of does fit him, even though its kind of randomish.

[Ky]

hehe. a lot of names work liket hat..if you use the right ones. I love doing that, and choosing 'perfect' names.

[Krys]

Yeah! Sadly though, a lot of people I know don't know who to pronoce Kierlan... Hehe.

[Ky]

Keer-lyn , Keer-lan, or Keer-len?

I say it all three ways. Am i close?

[Krys]

Mhmm... Pretty close, I don't exactly know how to explain it. Kierlan is pretty much pronouced how it looks.

Kier-lyn

[Ky]

Kay, so the first one. That's how I figured it was for a guy.

[Ky]

How would you say this one?

'Everette'?

and boy or girl?

(I'm using it, this is just a 'fun' game..lol)

[Krys]

Yep. It's prononced the first one. It's actually pretty fun to say outloud, for some odd reason.

Everette?

Ever-retti?

[Ky]

no, but close. I just wanted to show it was the female version, so I added the 'e'.
Ever-ett.

Thanks!~

[Krys]

Lol, the sad thing is I've always been really bad at prononcing names in other books correctly... I usually prononce them all weird-like.

[Ky]

Ya, I prefer to make the names seem more interesting..lol..

example:

Lara

Pronounced by me: Lay-ra
Probably supposed to be: Laura

lol I loved that book though! Read it twice!

[Krys]

Lol, cool. Now I've gotta come up with a clan-name for a book I'm writing a prologue for... Hmm...

[Ky]

Clan name?

"Coach" ((???Meh????))

((sorry I've got to go to bed!))

[Krys]

Ahh. Goodnight!

[Ky]

'night.

[Krys]

All righty then... For my book Fallen I needed to come up with a name for an elite group of about 24 Nephilim Warriors, and the only thing I could come up with is the Volatilis , which in latin means 'the winged' So does that work, you think, or is completely weird and I should come up with something else?
