well to be fair I've argued that all there should be is a description of her actions

and isn't she only in one scene with Kreon?

she is in at least three scenes that i can think of without referring to the text

one with ismene, one with kreon, one with the chorus

and vann you are correct, so the interesting thing is that while antigone was convinced of her rightness and willing to die for it, kreon was not

making antigone the victor

but she dies

yes, but presumably she died doing what was right and will be rewarded in death

whereas kreon lives but has to suffer for the rest of his life because both his son and his wife committed suicide because of him

Yeah the road is really sad. It did end on a high note though, the kid was going to be taken care of by a foster family

So I finally finished The Hunchback of Notre Dame and between that and The Count of Monte Cristo
If I never read something described as "producing a singular effect" it will be too soon

Sorry if old, nothing stood out in the Forum Search.

Apparently, the Twilight author is so distraught about her early draft of Midnight Sun getting circulated that she hasn't written another word of it!

"I feel too sad about what has happened to continue working on Midnight Sun," best selling Meyers wrote on her site.

"So it is on hold indefinitely."

Dubh · January 2009

What a drama queen.

Dublo7 · January 2009

Midnight Sun.

Is this some shitty Twilight sequel?

Futore · January 2009

She should just do baseball fiction instead now.

maybe a romantic teen action remake of "Casey at the Bat"

YaYa · January 2009

Dublo

it's the events of Twilight from Edward's perspective

Dubh · January 2009

She's doing THAT? So it's a Twilight OD. Awesome.

YaYa · January 2009

well not anymore

Dubh · January 2009

Hopefully not anymore. I mean, it's my fondest wish that more people would read and write. But this isn't what I had in mind.

Futore · January 2009

Right. But hopefully it will just be a little stepping stone for a lot of people that they will look back upon one day and realize it was just some silly teen fun

finalbroadcast · January 2009

Well I have to give her credit, at least when she blatantly cashes in, she's obvious enough about it that only retards wouldn't notice. Oh...

Jesus. That's money for old rope, right there.

YaYa · January 2009

well apparently a leaked copy of the manuscript was savaged so hard that Meyer doesn't want to write it anymore

thank god

Dublo7 · January 2009

Yeah, that's saved you 20 bucks.

Peter Ebel · January 2009

oh snaaaaaap

YaYa · January 2009

daaannnnnnggggg

that actually caused me physical pain

Quoth · January 2009

that was a pretty sick burn

Orikaeshigitae · January 2009

"wait.. not everyone likes my writing? that's it, i'm leaving, fuck alla youse'

i liked White Knight or whatever it was called

Spoiler:

that little chicago thing was indeed hella awesome

Small Favor was even better though because it wasn't as much of a mystery

It was "mystery solved in three chapter aaaaand Mr Shit meet Mr Fan"

Fishdert · January 2009

I think I'm going to read the Ender's books. Also, right now I'm reading complicated Nietszche, yay!

Me Too! · January 2009

As a guy who took his internet name from Ender's Game, just read Game and Shadow. The sequels got progressively worse

I've never even managed to finish a Bean book post-Ender's Shadow

Orikaeshigitae · January 2009

I crossed the open yard and scaled the face of the house in half a second. Dangling from the eave above the window by one hand, I looked through the glass, and my breath stopped.
It was her room. I could see her in the one small bed, her covers on the floor and her sheets twisted around her legs. As I watched, she twitched restlessly and threw one arm over her head. She did not sleep soundly, at least not this night. Did she sense the danger near her?

I was repulsed by myself as I watched her toss again. How was I any better than some sick peeping tom? I wasn't any better. I was much, much worse.

I tried the window, and it was not locked, though it stuck due to long disuse. I slid it slowly aside, cringing at each faint groan of the metal frame. I would have to find some oil for next time...

hahaha

oh man

Me Too! · January 2009

Hoooooly shit

My cousin loves these books

The last time I saw her I asked her if she realized the faggot vampire was a creepy stalker fuck and she's like "Yes"

So at least she's not completely retarded

Peter Ebel · January 2009

I can only hope she chooses Elves as her next thematic back drop.

A Twilight Silmarillion? o_O

Me Too! · January 2009

I want her to write a book about

Wait

No I never want her to write again

Grey Ghost · January 2009

Maybe next she'll write about zombies and make up stupid rules for them too and then make it a love story

Orikaeshigitae · January 2009

it's not a love story, though. neither of them are actually in love.

Me Too! · January 2009

They're just mentally retarded and obsessed with each other

right

they don't eat brains, they just steal happy memories from insecure teenage girls

The Sad Times Shadow Elves - drawn only to the most forbidden of loves, they have the looks of a coffee shop hipsters and the martial prowess of a UFC welter weight champ with a pcp dependency.

Me Too! · January 2009

I want Stephanie Meyers to write a sequel to Donnie Darko

Penny Arcade

Reading is fun!
