Several replies: Damn, I am really sorry for your poor dog. Losing a pet is crushing, and to have it happen suddenly is horrible. My deepest sympathies to you, Antarius. *squee!!* Jelly Bean has such beautiful green eyes! Greyform: that is a badass tank, and if I'd lost all that coral, I...

Sixty-seventhousand?!?! Are you fucking serious?? God damn, I love the Australian health care system.

AngryGerbil, I think I may love you. You're spot-on, and I hope Ravven can take your points to heart and understand that her brother is truly *ill* and in need of help that she cannot provide in the way she is accustomed to.

Hmm, still not convinced to give it a second try. The comments about Sanderson handling characters differently than Jordan remind memind me of when Roger Zelazny died while writing his second Amber series and someone else took it over--you could see the different styles, and it was painful and sad.

Hmm, didn't notice the ring thing--will try to confirm when I rewatch it this weekend. There is a rumour going around that there are going to be *multiple* specials to celebrate the 50th...wish I knew a little more....!

You're one of the few people I've seen who have caught onto that little structural tidbit. I had the good fortune to correspond with Pat for a few months when NOTW first hit the stands a few years ago, because it reminded me so closely of the structure of another project I had seen and worked...

Wll you be getting it coloured, or leaving it black n' grey? Wings look kick-arse when coloured right.

I had dozens and dozens of anime series when I was married, but only two made it through the cut when I got divorced that I wouldn't part with: the full set of Rurouni Kenshin (including the less-loved ovas) and the first season of Orphen, whch also went by "Sorcerous Stabber Orphen". Orphen...

I watched it via screener a couple days ago, and I'm going to watch it again this weekend, just to shore up my ambivalence. I *think* I really dislike Martin Freeman as Bilbo, which comes as a huge surprise because I've likes everything he has done before. Going to give it another go, though...

Javert is one of my favourite tragic characters in all of fiction--every single time I see Les Mis, regardless of format, I am *always* hoping that he will accept forgiveness and live a new life, only to be gutted when he doesn't. Can smeone tell me if Crowe evokes that kind of emotional tie...

I'm unsure what I think of it...I *really* love Cumberbatch's Sherlock (and Robert Downey, Jr.'s) but I think I like the premise of how these two versions of Holmes and Watson come together better. Making one character female definitely changes the dynamic. Hmm. I wonder if they ever toyed with...

It is a bit off-track, but if we want to compare opening theme songs, Babylon 5 always rocked it for me, above and beyond anything the ST TV series had for music.

Oh, thank fucking god! I've been dying and dying for new episodes! I've really hated the mid-season break this time around; I'm loving that the fun dynamic hasn't been lost now that they let Castle & Beckett get on with the sexytimes. Mmmmm...Nathan Fillion sexytime....

I'm not quite clear on the contest thing to pick a new Selector...could you clarify your idea a bit more?

At the risk of being pummelled...I made it into book 5, and Rand was being such a whiny little fuck I just couldn't keep going. He was sooooo irritating, I got through half the book, then put it on the shelf never to be reopened.

While I approve of someone taking the horns and running with the book club idea while I was away, I have a few questions. --how are we choosing genre selections? For example: if we are going with a selection to choose from, how about: 1) Fantasy/Sci-fi (obvious choice for a gamer forum, we...

Okay! Went away to work with my editor for the holiday, and went no-net for a few days. I'm glad the idea is taking off...I see a January book thread, I shall peek into there for some further info

A little late, but a friend sent me this in the spirit of the DW Xmas special.

I second the thought that Clara/Oswin (I wonder if she goes by different names in different times, and if those might reflect different personalities, or markers the Doctor must later follow) being his daughter from the earlier episode, only because of the emphasis on the running part. We didn't...

I thought good artists wouldn't ink you if you're shitfaced?

With a name like "Strange Beaver" I was more nervous clicking on that link than I am clicking on most Fedor spoilers.

I read the first book waaaay back, and I got so pissed off over the ending that I never read the others. Now, I don't want to ruin anything too much, so I am staying away so that I can enjoy the show spoiler-free.

I have never hated a character in a book, movie, or tv as much as I despised Doakes. Dead isn't gone enough. Call in the Doctor and get him obliterated from the whole of history, *then* I will be happy.

"Top Gear: Our Worst DVD But We Need To Do Something" was what it felt like to me. Even the Bond special felt kind of rubbish. I miss the big destination specials. Everything now feels like they are spoofing themselves from during the classic years, as if they've lost their passion now that they...

See, this is the kind of well-thought-out, intelligent, and reasonable answer that I hope for any time I talk to people about the future of publishing, and of authors in general. 99.7% of the time, I get some frantic, political or madly emotional answer that usually involves them grabbing books...

Hullo guys I never explored outside the Screenshots forum back at FoH, so I am wondering if there was a Book Club thread, or if anyone had ever attempted to organize some kind of book club for interested forumites? Thoughts?

I read the first book, and then twice more in immediate succession, becauseit was hands-down the best fantasy book I had read in a loooong time, and though I own the second, I have yet to read it because I am afraid of the "middle of the story lull" and I don't want to ruin how awesome the first...

Check this out.... A guy has made a TARDIS that "really is bigger on the inside." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-20836747 How cool is that? I want one!

not mine, but pretty awesome nonetheless: And because it's Christmas, and I want sweets but am a crappy cook:

How old is it? I really like the colours, (specifically the green and violet,) but the saturation seems weak and the colour pallette itself seems really light next to her very light skin. Is it still in progress, by chance? And does she have a matching one on the other leg, or do you have one...

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback!Re: my wrist, I have had that thought before, but couldnt quite put my finger on what is was. That helps make it clearer, and I'm now thinking I may have the lines joined up in the future, or some manner of background to offset the outline.

It's strange...I don't particularly care for myself what the answer is, but I woukd sincerely like to know that my Father's spirt/soul/essense/what-have-you is at peace and safe after all he suffered through the cancer that killed him.

I definitely want to know what became of Jenny. Ten took her creation quite seriously, and when he told Donna that he had already done the family/fatherhood thing, it felt (to me anyway) that it was confessed with regret. I can't imagine that Doctor just happily marrying River. And speaking...

I had a friend over and we watched end-of-the-world and disaster flicks all day. Now I feel disappointed that there wasn't even something strange that happened!

You don't know if she is your ex or not?

I worked with a girl several years ago who--no shit-- played this card twice after calling in to work sick. When she came back, it was because "The doctors gave me this pill, and they said it would get rid of my cancer and now I feel better." >_<

WOAH. At least you got promoted to starship Captain later in your career. Seriously, though, you must get tired of the comparison. You could always try to kill him and take his money, if he had any....

Okay, THESE are awesome. Head and shoulders above the usual "good vs evil" routine. Re: the blue dragon/snake....you nailed that in one sitting?? Good lord, how many painkillers did you take?

Haha...Iwonder what is more significant in your life? Christ, Bowser, or pot?
