A few hours ago I was sent the finalists for the Gordon Edgley Book Review competition, where people had to review books that they (or anyone else) had never actually read. These reviews were BRILLIANT. We got some of the best, most imaginative responses back, and it was not easy picking winners.
But picking winners is what I had to do, and so the winners are Patricia Snake, Sophie Carter, Ella Corkum and Katie Roberts-Malpass.
Huge congratulations to the winners, and a huge congratulations to EVERYONE who entered. You have kept me entertained...!

«Oldest ‹Older 1201 – 1400 of 4638 Newer› Newest»*Casha took the hug and appreciated it. She hadn't had a best nights sleep so to see a friendly face after waking up was nice.*
Casha: Oh god, what's happened now?
Braaaiiiinnnnnzzzzzz
Hi guys c:
Is anybody here?
Tawnee :*wipes away stray tears* you don't have to pretend to like them...theyre hideous. A secret? okay...
This is it I assume.
(Hello.)
(anyone here?)
(err..... anyone here?)
(here right?)
*She took Loki's hand tightly in hers, trying to not wince*
Thank you... I... I don't want to go anywhere without you now...
*keeps healing Dug*
*pulls out kukri, shadows start swirling around* this is my secret, I'm a necromancer.
*she collapses on the ground, dimly aware of what is happening*
(And soy sauce for poofing! I went to find origami paper and found many old drawings and a poem. I'm trying to figure out how old I was.
A poem
By me.
Let the sun warm your fur
Time will go by in a blur
Watch the snowflakes dance in the breeze
Watch theme land on trees
You can walk through the flowers
Then you can walk through a tower
Let the sun warm your fur
Time will go by in a blur
I think it might have been a riddle for my brother but I'm not sure.)
*eyes widen* really? *smiles* weakly* that is awesome. *frowns* you are the first to accept my...condition
*Roland could hear Rose putting Marrok into the bed and he waited.
He wasn't sure how he was going to tell her, especially what he was thinking about. Would she be able to handle it?
He sighed as his shoulders slumped slightly down.*
I shall stay with you, I promise. I cannot let you be hurt again.
()
*She walked to Roland and kissed his wings*
What's wrong, love...?
---
Thank you, Loki... Thank you...
*She rested her head against Loki's chest, listening to his heart*
(Welcomes Ed ^^)
Cole: *leads inky into the cottage and sits her on the sofa, where she continues to cry*
Well i find your "condition" really cool, i don't see why people don't like it.
*lament enters cottage*
*runs his hand through her hair, nervous fir her*
(Welcome back Ed!)
*finishes healing Dug*
I'm sorry..
*stands and looks at Min*
What now.
*shakes head* I am a freak of freaks. I don't even belong in a freak circus... *starts shaking violently at the memory*
Roland: Casha talked a lot when she was not well. And one thing she mentioned to me has me... concerned.
She explained to me how Lorcan, her Lorcan was from another dimension. So was the man that had shot me, his father.
So, if that is the case then, in this dimension, there is a Lorcan and a Chase and a whole other side to Ariana's genealogy. And neither of them know the other exists.
(Thanks)
Cole: Its going to be alright...give him time to calm down
(I'll be back in 20)
(Ok, back in a bit)
Excuse me a minute, *shadow walks behind lament and smacks him in the knees with a lead pipe, before shadow walking back to tawnee*
(sorry ed but lament really annoys me sometimes)
(kay Ed)
Tawnee: *doesn't bother to hide tears* I need to die
*she takes shaky breaths, looking up at Sil*
*she scrambles back, leaning against a tree*
*she hugs her knees to her chest*
Minerve: Build me a shrine. *places her hand on Silente's forehead, giving her all the details about the shrine she will build*
(He tends to do that Garry)
Hey your not a freak trust me on that, being a dragon must be awesome, so you know what you and me we should go on an adventure.
a adventures? I have had enough of 'adventures'. I want to die...itll help me to forget...
*nods*
Fix me first. I don't trust your word.
Minerve: You have already been fixed.
(yup dugg and now he has two injured legs / broken knees, he had it coming)
*quietly* Dugglyn, will you tell me what your character looks like?
This avatar project has become very important to me, and I do not wish to miss anyone.
(Hey Anni!)
So i can harm again? Can kill?
Hullo, Inky.
No you don't want to die *gives hug* you want to live, you want to go have some fun.
Minerve: No. I meant I have already healed you. You will not be able to kill again until you have built me the shrine.
Tawnee:*breaks down* I need to forget...I have never had fun
(Sure!
Blonde hair, a little past her shoulder, blue eyes, tan, wears leggings/jeans and a t-shirt and sweatshirt. She has lollipops and she's a wild banshee ninja. Kinda short and on the younger side, a little older than Sil*)
(I will be back soon, I believe.)
Thank you very much.
*builds half the shrine*
*goes and hugs Dug*
Hold on, i want to show you something.
*sniffles* w what is it?
Hold my shoulder and I'll shadow walk there.
T there? let me put on my bandages *starts wrapping herself up*
Ok just say when you're ready, and we will go.
(Susan, I saw you in the classroom today. As the sun came from behind the clouds, a burst of brilliant light caught your hair, it was haloed in front of me you turned, your eyes flashed fire into my soul, I immediately read the words of Dostoevsky and Karl Marx, and in the words of Albert Schweitzer, 'I FANCY you.' "
Dear god, if someone said that to me, I'd have gotten off with them right then and there
lol)
*finishes* Okay *softly places her pale hand on his shoulder*
*tenses at the hug*
(Gtg... pie!!)
Hello.
(Byii Dugg
Hi Am ^^)
(lol indeed
it reminds me of lyrics from a song, that i jokily want to use as a chat up line:
all the ladies around the world are dying to meet me
because nothing about me is ever cheesy
I'll get you in the bed and make it squeaky squeaky.
(Hey Amy!
And you don't have to be a ghost..
It was meant as non canon for fun.....)
(gar! *tries not to laugh*)
*shadow walks to a nice beach, with the sunset on the horizon* we're here.
Greetings, Amethyst.
Would you tell me what your character looks like?
*gasps* that is beautiful...
*runs towards the sea*
(what? Its actual lyrics from a song
the song is called "gangsta sexy" by Hollywood undead look it up.)
*She started to calm with Loki's hands in her hair. She took a deep breath and let it out in a rush. She had managed to stop crying, but she didn't know how long that would last*
Loki... I... I think I'm going to stay in the palace a lot more now... I don't care if you have a secret and important meeting... Im going to be there...

*She smiled softly, remembering ParaDeath. That killed her. Back when Niccolo was still Niccolo*
That means...? Oh god... Roland. What if Casha runs into either of them...?
*She sighed heavily and walked around Roland to hug him*
The this reality Chase is nice, I reckon. And his son would be too. Nice Lorcan and Chase... Does this mean we have to find them? We'll find them, Casha and Lorcan can fall in love if the chemistry is right, and then Ariana can have her father back!
(lol okay)
*follows tawnee* you like it then?
My character looks like -->
Tawnee: *ignores him*
*goes as far she can go*
*goes under the water*
*refuses to surface*
*dives in after her, and pulls her out* please don't try it, i like you and its better if you live.
Ah, yes. In hindsight, that should've been obvious.
Tawnee: b but it hurts to carry on
*sobs and shivers*
So, how are you all?
(I am good Am, yourself?)
I'm fine, thanks.
Roland: And if he does not want to be her father again? If we just end up going round in circles?
It just has me thinking about a lot of things and a lot of things that do not turn out quite as planned.
This reality Lorcan would not be a silver mage. We do not know what magicality he would possess.
(I'm good thanks Amy, how are you?)
come here, i will be your rock and i promise i will make your life better, i don't break promises ever.
Emerald Melody, what does your character look like?
I hate to be so pithy to you all, but I am very, very tired, and apparently am addicted to avatar-creation.
*smiles* t thank you, Garrett. But I cant erase what he did to me
Your welcome, wait who did what to you?*looks serious* please tell me.
(Oh christ! Well she has thick, brown hair that is always tied up in a messy bun. Bright blue eyes. Her teeth are slightly fanged (being a werewolf and all). She's about 5'9. She would wear a lot of like vest jackets, long sleeved tops and 3/4 trousers, oh and fingerless gloves. And she carries a sword on her back. Hope that helps.)
At t the circus for freaks....*shakes head* it was a terrible place, but the ringleader treated me better than the others...I thought he was just being nice. *frowns* b but then he...abused me... I was powerless
()
There's only one way to find out, my love... I've got a friend who might be able to find him... He knows everyone, literally. He can touch someone and it's just a chain. They know everyone that they know and all the people that they know and so on.
He might not want to be a father, and I won't be able to trust him, but once we explain our situation, he might come on with us!
*an angry look settles on my face* where can i find this circus and this ringleader?
Thank you very, very much, Emerald.
Dugglyn, do you like this? Is this good?
(Back)
*lament sits down in corner*
*shivers* t they travel...I don't know wh where they a are *sneezes*
Don't try anything...please. H he is terrible
Cole: *holds Inky as she falls asleep on him*
(welcomes Ed)
(ed slight problem lament might have to crawl for a bit, because just before you disappeared i snuck up on lament and smacked him in the knees with a lead pipe.)
Awesome!!! :)))))))))))
Thanks!
*Roland sighed again as he held Rose tightly to him.*
Roland: If you are confident in doing this then I am also. But only as long as the children and Casha are safe.
Any signs of anything and I will dispose of him as quickly as I did his counterpart.
*He sighed again as his hand was stroking Rose's hair gently.*
I am happy to be with you, always.
L: you know Cole, you two suit each other
(Ok Gar)
*heals leg*
Cole: *looks up at him*
*sneers* thanks, but no thanks. I know what you are doing
I think I'll be distant.
Hold on to me I'll take you back to my safe house and after that I'm going to find this ringleader and dish out some justice Garrett style.
L: *looks offended* and what would that be?
:)))))) >>>>>
(I am back.)
*looks at the sand* y you don't have to help me
(A double bed.
I have the entirety of a double bed and STILL find myself squashed between the wall and my cat.)
*hugs Dug tighter*
I'm sorry...I didn't want to..
Cole: youre hoping I claim Inky so Ed would be out fo the picture. It wont work
I want to help you, i don't like people like the ringleader, so hold onto me and I'll sort him out.
Minerve: Build, mortal.
()
*She sighed happily and kissed Roland's jaw*
You're starting to sound scary... Don't talk like that... We'll find out, okay? I love you.
---
Thank you, my king... Astrid... Are you done...? I want to lay down somewhere...
L: *grins* it's obvious you want her.
So I finished the Doctor Who event, it was so cool.
Tawnee: *hesitates*
*places hand on him* thank you, Garrett
Cole: every heard of want what you cant have?
*looks at Min*
Look at me. Where does it say slave? It doesn't. Give me a second.
(*sighs* I best be off to bed now
night all *dramatic exit*)
L: so you do want her. I can remove Ed from the picture if you want. Everything you ever wanted
Your most welcome *shadow walks to the safe house* right you go sit down, ill be back *shadow walks to inky* hello have any of you seen a freak circus recently?
Cole: *shakes head* it wont work
(night)
(inky is asleep)
Minerve: *shadows knot together to form a sword in her hands* That can soon changed, mortal. I can write slave on you if you wish. I can carve it into your flesh and into your soul.
(good night Inks)
(Bye Inky)
(I had better be off as well, bye)
(bye ed)
Go to hell Min. Give me a second.
(School...)
*huggles Rose*
*gets chair and popcorn and sits down to watch sil and min*
(bye Rose, have fun at school)
Minerve: *places her blade against Silente's back and begins to carve an S*
(For god's sake.)
*Roland hesitated as he played back what he just said before he let her kiss take him over, he released a small gasp of pleasure at her kiss.*
Roland: I apologise my darling, I did not mean to frighten you. I just... I do not want anything happening to any of you, especially you and Marrok.
(what's wrong soph?)
(I hate getting the first comment on the page because I never have anything to dedicate to. I shall have a think.)
*She hugged Loki back happily*
(oh i see, what about deding to deding)
()
*She giggled softly at his reaction and took Roland's hands in hers. She peeked up at him, becoming shy*
I don't want anything bad to happen either... Believe me...
(Msd/wbd)
(No. I am in an odd mood, so will make an odd dedication.
I dedicate this page to two people.
I rarely like anyone, and trust people even less.
Yet I like and trust them.
I may not be nice or kind.
Yet they are nice and kind to me.
I may not be the most harmless person in the world.
Yet I would not wish any harm on either of them.
I dedicate this page to Silente Tempest and Star Inkbright.)
(hear hear *claps* good ded soph)
(As I said: I am in an odd mood.)
Hello, Rose.
Hello, Loki. I'm sorry... I'm distant...
(fair doo's soph, I'm going to disappear for the night, good night everybody)
*rolls in*
*reads dedication*
*contemplates hugging Sophia*
*realizes that may end badly*
Hear hear
(Goodnight Garrett.)
(Please don't hug me. I don't do the whole physical contact thing.)
It is fine.
*nods* no hugs then.
*Cuddles Loki*
(Thank you. I do not believe I would deserve hugs, either.)
*cuddles back*
(*nods at the ded* hear hear)
*shrugs* who cares if someone "deserves" a hug? If I think they need it, I'll hug them.
*shrugs* who cares if someone "deserves" a hug? If I think they need it, I'll hug them.
*hugs Soph*
(You asked for it)
I love you...
*nods at Tia*
*hugs Sophia as well*
I love you too.
(I don't require hugs.
*pushes Tia away*
I don't hug. I would literally rather you break my wrist.)
*She smiled and kissed him gently*
My Loki...
(@Snow I can't stop calling you Snuuuu "Blog Girl" Stermbarg)
(*pushes Snow away also*
Physical contact really repulses me. Unless it's violent - then I'm used to it. But thank you anyway.)
*frowns* *sighs*
Understood. Some people are just like that.
So How're thing, Sophia, everyone?
*laughs at Tia* you are odd. *hugs*
(*Hisses at Snow and cuddles Tia*
My Tia!)
(*huggles Rose too*)
(I suppose they are.
I am in an odd mood. Possibly translating as worse than average. Yourself?)
(Nuu.... Don't hug me Snowy.... My Tia...)
And my Rose.
(I have to leave. Goodbye.)
Good. I can live with that. As long as you know that I love you, and that you're mine forever...
*She nuzzled his neck happily*
Mine...
*is ready to say something in response to Snuuuu's statement*
*cuddles Rose*
(Bye, Soph!)
(*Cuddles Tia happily*
You're mine to.)
(Bye Soph!
Wbd, doing stuff)
*too
My bed is comfy...
*replies with a slight grin* Am I now?
(Adios, Sn-)
((@Zaf so is Loki x Rock known as Roki?))
I do understand.
(Locki.-Zaf
*rollllllllssssss*
(Yes you are, Tia! My Tia!
*Nuzzles*)
Good...
*She giggled and kissed him again*
*kisses back* I love you...
I love you too...
*She kissed his jaw, then took his hands and placed them on her waist*
You're beautiful...
(@Stermbarg
http://youtu.be/CtwJvgPJ9xw
Enjoy!)
So are you...(god this guy sounds like Tom Hiddleston on Agents of SHIELD like its sorta creepy but it cant BE him.-Zaf
(Omg...)
*She smiled and lead him towards the throne room*
I want to sit beside you, my king... Call it treason or something, but I want to sit on the throne...
You may if you wish. *appears there with her*
((I swear to god either I'm going mental or this guy...-Zaf
(XD)
*She raced him to the throne and sat happily, crossing her legs under her. She waved and looked around, admiring the view*
Impressive...
It is, is it not? *smirks*
((K i am convinced this guy is Hiddleston's twin. Ok yes. -Zaf
Well, it's okay... I've seen better, back when I had my powers... Have you ever been to the top of Everest? Great place. Pretty cold. But it has nothing on Jutonheim...
*She opened her arms out towards Loki and grinned*
(What's his name??)
I wish you could have your powers. *walks over and hugs*
((I gotta watch credits when its over but its creepy.-Zaf
I miss my powers... I'm a weakling now...
*She hugged him back tightly and rested her head on his shoulder*
I miss being able to fly...
And I suppose..
*feels the warmth of their embrace*
if I am yours..
*steps closer to snuggle Rose*
and you are mine..
*their hands touch, and Rose's warm breathing quickens*
then we belong to each other.
*smiles, holding her tighter*
...
Snuggle: settle or move into a warm, comfortable position.
Perhaps, we can allow you to share gitts with someone.
(Mine. My Tia.
*She smiled happily and nuzzled his neck*)
I should be okay, Loki... Don't worry...
You're Asgardian, you should have an ability.
But I'm also Midgardian... I'm a different one... I'm weird...
But I'd rather lose my magic a hundred times over than lose one day with you.
*keeps cuddling her*
What did I do to deserve you, Rose?
(Being you.
*Grins and holds Tia close*
My Tia...)
*smiles* I am happy for that.
