Re: What cliché’s do you dislike?

I tend to get bored of the "hero fights off 20 guys at once without a scratch" scenario more often than not. If it's a group vs. a group, and the heroes succeed fairly well, that's fine. I agree here! This is quite popular in China now - with a hero taking on mobs and armies with Kung Fu ...

Re: Tolkien's Writings

I just finished re-reading the Hobbit this morning - so good timing to bump this one. :) I voted for the Hobbit (although I see I've voted once before). It's just such a fun adventure - not deadly serious but fun, fantasy and very deep. I love it. It really feel like an adventure where you are explo...

Re: What does your LEGO space look like?

Overlord and Brickster - do you find that your building surface is big enough or does it seem too small sometimes? Having just returned to the US and my collection I'm preparing to move into an apartment. Being a single guy I'm hoping that will allow for a Lego room. :) Currently my collection is st...

Re: Denied Entry

I felt really sad for that guy when I read that... I can totally relate to the man feeling embarrassed and sad when he found out that he wasn't able to get in to a Lego park because he was an AFOL... Although I do understand the policy I think it's a bit overkill... especially when the old man had h...

Hey soccerkid - are you from Victor NY? I'm from Canandaigua and had no idea that there was a store nearby!

Re: The Black Scroll of Ragnok

Wow... I started this story back in 2009... Just amazing... But it's FINALLY finished!!!! :) :) :) After losing all my pictures one time (and being in China so being unable to take new pictures again until 1 year later), losing the story another time (text and photos) and about 1 million other thing...

Re: What do you think about a "chapter 0" or character intro

These are awesome responses guys and gals - I appreciate it very much! After reading through them and thinking about it the last few days your opinions have indeed convinced me that a Chapter 0 is better left either minimal if it exists at all. I think I'll use it to show the map of the story from n...

I get the feeling that somehow, someway, all those dudes in Trailrun will make a comeback to the realm. :)

The benefits of being a Sith Lord...

I saw this on Pinterest (which I was just sucked into today) and had to chuckle...

Being a fan of Lego, Star Wars and Guiness... well, it's just magical. :)

Clone bricks are a disgrace to humanity, and all of them should be destroyed. GASP! :o I love my clones!!!

Re: Who know about your interst in Lego?

Being a single guy, I keep it pretty quite. :) I would love to date/marry a female AFOL for sure. Most girls are not AFOLs however. More still would freak out and run out of my home if they saw how massive my collection was. Or worse... they would stay and try to force me to SELL IT! That said, I've...

What do you think about a "chapter 0" or character intro?

What do you all think about having a "chapter 0" - or a chapter before your story begins that explains who the main characters are, who the soldiers are, what the countries, politics and religions are? The reason I ask is because all my stories have them and I was trying to not have one fo...
