      jewish lore on this one is actually quite fascinating.

      The jewish people believe in debate. A LOT. To the point where there's an old joke that if god himself joined in a debate between priests, that'd only make the vote two to six.

      They emphasize things like moses whittling the commandments down to ten (which is also in muslim tradition) and Abraham bargaining to find ten honest men (although some argue that's so that he can see for himself how futile it is). And in a famous story (have to track it doen, sorry), the rabbis actually beat god in a talbot debate and he celebrates his 'childrens' accomplishment.

       To them, the relationship with god is a pact, one where he has to fullfill part himself. Theyve succesfully argued terms of worship a number of times, within reason because god needs to get something too. And yes, he asks for worship, but it's closer to a parent wanting to be in your life, if im understanding it righr. Does that make sense?

  2. Part 2 of Southwestern Wind and Epilogue is up :D

      That and the new Mortal Kombat are two movies I’m really looking forward too. Won’t get to see ‘em soon, but I’ll hopefully not be disappointed when I do.

  4. writer question.

    I heard an editor complain that people overuse “ “

    i’m a bit confizzled how else are you supposed to inform the reader that talking/conversation is taking place?

      I think @GeorgeGlass has the right of it.

      The only other thing I can think of, and I will admit it does annoy me, is when people put a word or phrase in quotations as a form of emphasis:
      He seemed to think he was always going to be “the big man on campus” despite being the lowest producer on the team.

      And there’s the quote within conversation, which should be marked by ‘ ‘ rather than “ “ :
      “So, he said the me, ‘I won’t eat that rubbish.’ Can you imagine the cheek?”

      Is your editor Herr Starr?(edit - deleted link as no preview per forum rules but Google something like Herr Starr improper use of inverted commas to see an overreaction! )

      Edit 2 – Found an imur link with preview! (NSFW due to languague, two pages from comic Preacher with discussion of inverted commas!)

      I’m with @Desiderius Price on this. Do what you think will have the greatest “punch” and keep the readers invested for the next part.

      Do that thing where it turns out the remorseless hated evil they thought was destroyed suddenly appears again, like when I haven’t posted here for a hit then suddenly reply.

      I’ma live I have internal bruising exacerbating the whole kidney stone thing. So my kidneys are inflamed and somehow the rest of my organs seem to want to jump onto the bandwagon for some reason. fricking attention whores the lot of them

      Sending gentle hugs and hoping you feel better soon (or at least get some decent pain relief).

  8. Sending a funny to you guys <3

  9. @JayDee You got a theme song haha

    1. JayDee

      JayDee

      Phew! I can finally stop hearing “in the hall of the mountain king” whenever I go anywhere.

      I’ve been watching Helluva Boss, and I must say I was disappointed by this song. A song titled “Vacay to Bonetown” and performed by a succubus should be WAY more fun.

  10. Almost done with part two of Out With the Old haha

  11. Campaign: The War For Mortane Prologue

    is finished. Here’s the prologue. Sequel to Immunda and Rationis

    My attempt at forcing myself to write sex scenes and confront my weakness head on.

    Porn with plot.

    1. Desiderius Price

      Desiderius Price

      Plot with porn’s always good.  I tried to write porn without Plot, but Plot whined and forced its way in like a stray puppy.

  12. Muggletum Finivi updated^_^

    I’ll be gone for a few days. I got muscled out of my deli job by the GM under the “restructuring” and other excuses it went from family operated to soulless business right quick. So rather than have the manager look for an excuse to fire me since he fired a bunch of people on Xmas I resigned. A right to work state sucks.

    :bash:

    I’ll be back so <3

    1. JayDee

      JayDee

      Hey, sorry it went like that but I hope you can get another job soon.

      I’ve got a this and that out with the old to catch up on, just been a little busy! (the mortuus orbis review I did was basically already written as I’ve sent feedback to IBD already! :) )

      InvidiaRed

      I got five years of customer service, I’m golden I’m going to take the rest of the month off and visit gramma and have a belated X-mas since I was forced to double shift Xmas.

  13. Out With The Old, the latest sequel is complete :D

  14. Almost done with the New years addition of Holiday Canon.
