It wasn't a surprise to me that Kartik turned into a tree, because I accidentaly read a review on a book, and the person writing the book did not say it had spoilers! But I was a little teary reading the end. I didn't want Kartik to be turned into a tree, but I also didn't want a typical happy ever after story.
Mod
i'm sad to see the series end!!!
Mod
PS: Welcome to the group!
Mod

Mod
Really? My mom said it is some disease.
Mod
I FINALLY FINNISHED IT...AND WELL MY FRIEND ACTUALLY RUINED THE KARTIK PART FOR ME!!!!

I didn't cry. It would have to be someone I really liked who died to make me cry. I didn't like Kartik a lot. I like to write plays, and if my favorite character who I wrote died I would probably cry. I like to make characters who I can't help but love, but sometimes I make them in roleplays, and when people kill them I get really sad. :-(
I totally teared up when Kartik died. It was soooo sad but I am really glad Gemma gave the magic to the land and cut her season short and went to America. It was a good ending. Except for the Kartik part, that was sad, but sometimes it makes books better if a beloved character dies. It makes it so you think about it and remember it and want to read it again. Like with the Harry Potter series. It wouldn't be nearly as good if JK Rowling never killed anyone off and left it to be a super happy ending. I do wish there was a sequel about Gemma's life in America or Felicity or Ann.

I've only written 1 complete one, and I'm almost done my second one. But I like do a lot of roleplays on here, and I really like the characters I make, and then someone goes and kills them. Then I tear up. I don't like it when people kill my characters. And Emma I am thinking of becoming a playwrite when I grow up, or an actress but I have a better chance of being a playwrite!
Mod
It was about how men (sometimes) think they are better then women. It was about how this one Duke's Brother wanted to 'get rid of' him and become Duke, then banish all the women from his city because he thought they had too much power over men. Kinda like how in the roleplay you guys torture the guys and have power over them! The second one (I'm on page 63, its a long one) is about how a gang took in a girls brother, then killed him the next day. The girl said no to joining the gang, and the gang leader is after her. But did the gang really kill her brother? Duh-duh-duh! Sorry, I could blab about pays forever! :-)
Mod
The first ones pretty short, only 63 pages, and the second one is gonna have at least pages into the 70's. The only person who read the first one is my mom. She said it as really good, but I don't know if she was just saying that.
Mod
Well there is a problem for the gang leader in my play...he does fall in love with the girl he wants to 'punish' and if he doesn't punish her he loses his rep as the tough guy. I could post it on my writing if you wanted when I finish, although It is pretty long! I can definately post the 1st one now if you wanted though.
You want me to post the first one? I will, but on my writing. I don't like showing my writing to people. At least not a lot of people, no offense. I don't know why, I guess I'm just shy, which is why I have a better bet at being a playwrite then an actress!
Mod
Mod
I am (unfortunately) very shy when I act too. Not when I perform, but the excersises we have to do. Especially the ones that make you just be silly infront of people. I can't do that. I'm not popular in school, so I have trained myself to do nothing that can embarras me. Now if I want to be an actress I have to change that! :-(
Mod
I don't do silly unless I want to. If I don't want to, I won't. Its just not possible to get me to do something like that. Most of the times I am silly with my friends, but in front of people I don't know I am barely ever silly unless I'm making jokes, which I tend to make a lot of."
Mod
Same. I wish I felt comfortable with it though. I hate being in front of people in general but my future is based on me singing and so I need to learn how to deal with it... haha
Mod
Haha, I have been training since I was 2 I doubt a change in the plans would be acceptable. I LOVE singing just have super bad stage freight lol. Perfect huh :) My mom says I can be whatever I want to be but I would hate to put so many years and so much money to waste. I plan to have other jobs but singing will be a big one :) If I can pull myself together that is.
Mod
I am silly with my friends, and when I'm acting I'm not nervous, its just I went to camp and we did a lot of acting EXCERSISES where we had to be silly, and I just really didn't like doing that. If I play a silly character I will LOVE it though! The 2 plays I wrote (I finished the second one) are comedies, so yeah.
Mod
You live near the ocean? Lucky!
Mod
Sweet I live by the ocean too, but dont get to go down there much its all rocky and cold not a nice sandy beach haha.
