Ahem.
Just a brief note to update you on how the work is progressing. So far, every book has been longer than the one before. The first book was about 75,000 words, and Mortal Coil was over 100,000. With Book 6, I'm planning on continuing that trend, but I don't know by how much.
I've been working away at the first section of the story, the first quarter of the book, dipping in an out of scenes and chapters... Even though, officially, I started this book on November 6th, a lot of things have been taking up my time, so I've really only been able to seriously write in the past week. And in the past week I've written almost 20,000 words. That's roughly a fifth of the book, and I've done it in six days.
I am on a ROLL.
Praise be to me!

«Oldest ‹Older 2601 – 2800 of 3837 Newer› Newest»Are you talking about Kallistas fanfic? Because it was amazing. I was laughing so much and my family looked at me like 'wth'
We are talking about Kallista's fanfic... it was awesome...
So amazing. I laughed at the part where you were like 'do I really have to answer that?'
That was funny...
Hmm...
Both Kallista...
*shrugs*
Ah well...
Mmmmmm apple juice.
You know what's annoying?
Anyway, we had ANOTHER HUGE snowball war... we won... people now start calling me "The master of snowballs" because I can make perfect round snowballs out of any type of snow, practically ICE, in minuites... and I'm a good aim, so ice + good aim = mass pain
Um... Kallista, why are you wearing armour? I'm not going to do anything...
Hehehe. that rhymes Dragona.
I'm a poet but I don't know it :P
Anyway. My christmas test for German is in nine days and our German teacher told us today that, oh yeah, WE HAVE TO KNOW ALL THE FIRST YEAR STUFF AND THE SECOND YEAR STUFF!!!! She said not to worry but she gave us basically an entire page of chapter numbers we have to revise. EVIL!!!!
Lol Darkane...
Which brings me back to the point that I have to study. I really don't want to ............ QUICK ask me a question on the counter reformation!
Urrrrr... counter reformation?
Where'd Kallista go?
Counter Reformation, the Catholic Churches response to the Reformation, you know, in History.
No idea where Kallista went.
Never heard of it...
Ok then..... ask me a question on The Age of Exploration.
Urrrr... what's that?
Kallista, I PROMISE I won't do anything... I'm not angry, or mad... it was only a story... an awesome story...
You know after the Renaissance when all the people got bored of fighting the Muslims and the Turkish Empire on the Great Silk Road so they tried to find the quickest way to India so they could trade.
Sorry for the late reply my dad had to import a photo.
Um... no...
@kallista
of course i could create you guys an OC
however I might have to wait until the holidays
only 3 days away!!!
And Kallista, if I WAS going to hurt you... you would be dead by now...
OK then ask me a question on Plantations and Settlements. You have to know this Dragona because England did this to Ireland.
Urrrr... I don't know anything about it...
Hey Octa.
and I loved your new fanfic
It was hilarious. I laughed out loud in the middle of the school library! But no one cares because their used to my craziness. And that scares me a bit :D
*coughs* Yeh... your fanfic was awesome...
although it was also very intense and awesome!
loved the children in the box part
More Detective Simmons though. I love that guy.
When King Henry Invaded Ireland and tried to plant it because it was the backdoor for the countries of Europe to invade Europe through and he wanted to convert them to protestantism.
Sorry Britain not Europe.
I liked the bit where... I killed the vampire... that second when I broke it's neck... as you know... I hate vampires :P
Never heard of it Darkane...
But that was when the Engilsh attacked Ireland for the first time! You have to know about.
Can I kill detective Simmons?
*looks around*
Just a thought...
Nope... haven't a clue about it Darkane...
WE suffered when Ireland terrorists BOMBED us...
*Gapes at Dragona* you don't know the History of your Country?
I know about the history of MY country... but nothing to do with IReland...
ENGLAND, RIPPING US LIMB FROM LIMB?
Hi Thrice
Yes but we bombed you because you invaded us in the fist place. We were fine in our huts with no schools and our dead language and no understanding of the world but then you came along and tried to make us like you. It was retaliation.
YOU BOMBED US! YOU PUT A HOLE IN MANCHESTER THAT I HAVE SEEN!
If you WASN'T like us... you wouldn't come on here... you wouldn't be able to speak english...
Hey Thrice. And now it's two against one Dragona.
I don't care if I am outnumbered... I can take both of you on :P
And for your part Dragona, that was terrible grammar.
acyually, sp would be in irish
And you would never have met ME... doesn't that make you sad?
*looks around where everyone shuffles towards the door uncomforably*
You took six of our counties and you still haven't given them back! I'll continue this debate later because I have to have my dinner now. Bye.
hmm... now what?
my blog has snake on it
MANCHESTER hasn't healed... it's got a hole in it! AAAHHH!
But Manchester isn't in Yorkshire... it's in Greater Manchester so I don't care...
Kallista, have you read my comments I put on your blog?

Well, my dad as a toy rat on top of the radio because he likes this song called rat in my kitchen and my brother threw it at me because I was being annoying.
the clumsy sleepwalker?
i am clumsy, and always really tired, thrice DOZER
Thanks Kallista.

Yeah who would have EVER thought that YOU could be annoying!

Watching some sort of movie, so I'm just reading the comments...
BEWARE WHAT YOU SAY!!!
thrice your name reminds me of a cat :P
Thrice the brinded cat hath mew'd.
Thrice and once the hedge-pig whined.
Harpier cries "'Tis time, 'tis time."
Round about the cauldron go;
In the poison'd entrails throw.
Toad, that under cold stone
Days and nights has thirty-one
Swelter'd venom sleeping got,
Boil thou first i' the charmed pot.
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the cauldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and howlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.
Scale of dragon, tooth of wolf,
Witches' mummy, maw and gulf
Of the ravin'd salt-sea shark,
Root of hemlock digg'd i' the dark,
Liver of blaspheming Jew,
Gall of goat, and slips of yew
Sliver'd in the moon's eclipse,
Nose of Turk and Tartar's lips,
Finger of birth-strangled babe
Ditch-deliver'd by a drab,
Make the gruel thick and slab.
Add thereto a tiger's chaudron,
For the ingredients of our cauldron.
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.
Cool it with a baboon's blood,
Then the charm is firm and good.
it is awesom
poor kallista
and dragona
you own me? :)
*sulks*
Lol
Jingle bells, Lunar smells,
Like rotten eggs,
She hasn't got a clue what we're saying,
And she will probably kill me,
HEY!
WHAT HAS MACBETH DONE TO YOU?
thrice is by shakespeare :)
Macbeth Act IV Scene I
poem or song from harry potter?
you thought it was by me?
wow!
dgh
kallista's!
No, Dragona, fail :(
It's:
Jingle bells, Dragona smells,
From 15 miles away,
From his pong,
I wrote this song,
And now he's gone away!
HURRAY!
