Do you like fairies? Get Stardust. I think alternate mothers with buttons for eyes qualify as ghosts. Read Coraline. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Book And Reader mobile app

Peder, c'mon. :) It's ok that you don't like it, there's no way that people are going to feel the same about everything. :) This is such a deep subject to me. I'm just learning about this, and will always be someone who is still learning. That reminds me of a running joke I have with another...

LOL! Don't worry about me, I'm very shy, therefore I shall start no wars. :) I think 'I don't give a damn' is a pretty good policy for sticking to personal preferences. :)

Slackware??? Wow! Showing off your stripes! :) Once upon a time I had vi forced on me. No matter how people insisted it was fantastic, I didn't really like it. I just cannot handle vim/emacs. I love my Notepad++! :)

Peder, thanks for your feedback. I've not read No Towers, and may not now that I've read your thoughts. On Maus, though, I suppose it's our backgrounds that influence our judgement a bit. I come from a place where the Holocaust was a couple of lines in a history book. Growing up far from the...

Vim?? Seriously? Wow. That's hardcore, man! If anything I think using Vim's the part that's the overkill... :) I want to get a copy of Scrivener, because I harbour hopes of earning tons from passive income as a bone-fide commercial author. But I'm too cheap to pay full price for it. They have a...

Hmm, interesting reaction to my feedback from Colin. But a welcome closure. I have another feedback: textual links. When I set a word or sequence of words as text for a link, the text itself appears as the same font and colour as the rest of the non-linked, well, text. Since it's...

The high fantasy and epic fantasy and urban fantasy distinctions brings me back to an old post I read here once. I did a quick search, and found it here (clicky on the non-underlined normal-looking text. Or just copy/paste...

Any time, dear Ell! Btw, I did notice you've put on a hibiscus... :)

Ah, you must be reading The Adventure of The Dancing Men. :) I'd loan you anything, if you weren't living so far away. I have the next best thing, I just checked my copy of the complete Sherlock Holmes i mentioned above, and the graphics are intact there in my kindle. I will send it along to...

I am actually liking the new look bar. It's growing on me.

Wow, that's a lot of ebooks.

I didn't get the free Kindle editions, they are all either not really complete or readers have reported formatting errors. I got the collection from http://sherlock-holm.es/, albeit still free. Spending money on Holmes is money well spent! :) I have several dead-tree versions of Sherlock...

I am evil that way.

Ell!!! Missed you! I'm on my annual jaunts here, but have been staying longer than my previous visits this time. Juggling my time more carefully nowadays, but when I do participate it's fun!

Wow, Brent, you're quick! Don't worry about it so much, it was a knee-jerk reaction post. It doesn't really bother me all that much. :) Actually..... now that I think about it, you know what else bothers me about the forum, Brent? It doesn't give its members BMWs. Can you also see what you can...

No one's going to compete with you on email addresses or usernames on popular internet services, I have to say.

I have to say that the private forum is getting to be pretty weird. They don't participate in the main forums do they? This VIP room feel to the place is a little disconcerting. I wouldn't mind it so much if their posts don't show up in Newest Posts function for example, and I have to always...

Maudaevee is a very unique name indeed.

I kinda guessed that you're a grizzled fantasy veteran, since you mentioned that you loved fantasy. :) I just thought of another one for you. Because you like the Celts, GGK did a working on them called The Last Light of the Sun. Alternate history/world of Vikings and Anglo-Saxons. What's...
