Yeah I know what you meant.
Don't worry there'll be plenty of time for that - but we should focus on chapter 2 atm... and not talk about it here
-
Yes, but saying that it would need to come near the end of the 10 chapters... and only then it can only be a "brief understanding". Bastila and Alayna are different, and have different ideas... they'll never truly understand one another.
Anyway, yes, you can use her for that particular thing.

I don't hate Shakespeare, I hate my dads girlfriend lol.
I've studied 3 Shakespeare plays - Midsummer Nights Dream, Macbeth and Romeo and Juliet. I really liked Macbeth, and I got 100% in my exam, but R&J, despite my high grade coursework, I didn't take too much. Bit too cheesy and overly romantic. But it was a unique idea, and it's written well. I'll give it that much.
-
I'm here for education, but college isn't education without fun. To me, anyway. Some people think a social life isn't important... but I deem it so.
my dads girlfriend is watching something about Shakespeare when he was in his twenties, when he became famous and when he fell in love. (it's a drama). I have to say, I hate her obsession with these sort of things. They're all the same. it's all dramatic, big annoying words, and poor and royal people.
-
Right, sounds good.
I figure that Bastila and Carth will be pretty glad that the enclave is back up and going, but will be hopeful to see whether Revan is behind it. When they arrive and Bastila's apparent force bond with Revan doesn't show any sign of Revan, and the Exile is coming out of the ship, she needs questions answered and is shocked to see the Ebon Hawk.
Yeah?
-
I'm not discouraged, but it's a little annoying since I've gotten so used to feedback on this forum... it's to be expected.
And yeah, I posted it recently. No improvements on the first two chapters, since I hadn't had many or any complaints so far... plus it got onto kotorfanfiction, so I'm happy with it ATM.
I'll tell you what's odd about college. In high school, we weren't allowed to watch films above 12+, but in college we're watching 18s and films that have really rude things. And the teachers swear! It's awesome.
-
Right. Bastila will be with Carth... so that'll be a good load of conversation. I could throw a few accusations in there, and Visas might show more of her undying loyalty, by backing up Alayna. Something small, but reminding.
I read your reviews on fanfiction.net... looks like your story's popular. I got one on the Huntress... but I bet I'll only ever get that one.
-
Yes, I'd prefer that Exile would be there first. This way, Bastila wouldn't have to waste time 'looking' for who was behind it all. Instead, Alayna should just be there at the right place at the right time... or rather the wrong place at the wrong time.
Write in K3 what you plan to do for chapter 2... I'm quite confused since I haven't done much on the forum for a week, but hopefully that'll be okay soon.
Thanks for the comment on QFR
I do like suck up compliments, how ever exaggerated they are!
-
Dreams inspire me a lot. I have strange dreams, and invent some good ideas for stories, during sleep. It's kind of cool, but I wish they came to me when I was conscious lol.
Ah yeah, there were only a few tense problems. You improve as you go along, and others might not even notice it, but I notice small things like that, because I'm a grammar nerd (who can't seem to get grammar right herself, sometimes!)
I've decided to tone down the detail until I can get my 'sentences' right. I've been told many times some sentences don't make sense, so the way to do it is to go back to basics. I won't let it affect K3 though.
-
I've been exhausted today... I should be getting on with my stories, but I can't bring myself to do so today. I've written a page of the Huntress, and I quite like what I've written. I plan to fit a lot of info into this next one.
I haven't read your redrafted chapters, but I might read them tomorrow if I have time.
We aren't learning about dreams I don't think, in the AS... but I've read about REM before. Apparently you can train yourself to dream about specific things, but I don't think it works. If it does, the likelihood you'll remember that particular dream is low.
-
I failed Spanish miserably... not because I was bad at it, but because I just couldn't be bothered. I didn't want to burn my braincells in resentment at the damned language! I'm English all the way.
ATM I have nothing on my mind, really. My dads girlfriend's annoying me, but I've learned to block out distracting sounds >_> you?
-
Apple's a bit annoying, I think, but I can't deny that the apple laptops look amazing. They're so clean and shiny and neat. If I could afford one, I'd buy one.
English does take a lot from other languages - but a lot of places speak English, too. If you go on holiday, everyone you need to talk to knows your language.
-
Ahh. 70% here is a B, but you do lots of exams don't you? At least some American schools do, that I've heard of.
Someone called Jordan Parker just added me on facebook lol.
I'll let ya' go. Have fun with the essay, slacker.
-
He goes out with Jordan Baker?! what? She's the boring one who he 'presented a negative image of'! >;o my 2 hour English lesson was a lie.
I don't think anyone knew what a passive noun was, exactly. And 70% is an A in America? In England it's like 85%+ and an A* is 95%+... I got an A* in media hehe. We get a minimum target grade in our lessons... I dread to think what my media minimum target grade is!
We should form a group of 'seemingly unintelligent kids who are actually very smart kids'. Teachers are so biased and favouritise people. My History teacher in HS always helped/talked to the popular kids more... they don't need MORE people to talk to! They've already got the whole school, and their kids to talk to!
(Yes, their kids, because basically every popular girl had been pregnant at least once).
-
Yeah it's 1920s but I call it 1990s because I'm weird like that. It was the age of industry! Which was very much delayed, in comparison to England lol.
It does so annoy me that I was never noticed in HS, but now I think I'm getting a little more recognition. When a teacher took ages to remember my name in HS, all my teachers remember my name straight away in college. It's a nice difference. But it's very competitive. Manchester and London are probably some of the most competitive places in Europe, which is guttin'.
Language is boring. I understand your pain... BTW, what's a passive noun? It came up on a mini calculation test about fifty times and i was like 'wtf?'
I was freaked out when I read the great gatsby at first... Nick was like checking Daisy out, and I thought they were proper cousins! Whoa. But then someone pointed out theyre second cousins once removed or something,
-
Nah I didn't know any of the bands, but it was only £6 so I figured I'd go.
the main band was so bad though. It was shocking.
-
I know, and she was trying to show off with her knowledge of 1990s America (cause she did it for History in high school). I wanted to shout "hah!" after that, I sorta took over showing off my knowledge... except I didn't slip up.
Wow, I hated Spanish. I can't explain to you how much I wanted to kill myself in that lesson! The teachers breath stunk too, and there was this pig monster of a chav girl sat behind me, who always said "are you a goff?" One day I turned around and called her an "ugly bitch slag". It ended with her beating me up with a book lmao. Do you even like Spanish?
I understand what the guy says, but I don't think a lot of the class do lol. I'm glad he speaks for ages though - I'd rather do that than work!
-
Mine was a long week too, but it wasn't bad. It just took forever! My first week was good. Made a few friends. I also went to a gig last night with unsigned bands in it, and someone threw me to the ground in the middle, and no one saw me go down.. So EVERYONE was jumping and dancing on top of me, and I thought I was going to die o_o it was so scary. But seconds later, I was back in the middle jumping about again.
Stayed out til 1.30am.

Nah... I don't think it's selfish. Think about it - these days, money is needed a LOT. If you don't have money, you have nothing. If people do things like music, writing etc. just for money, it's just a career to them. I think there's two types of people in the working industry - those who do it for the pleasure, and those who do it for the money. And a lot more people work for just money.
It isn't selfish... money's just a necessity.
Personally, I think it's their own business what they do... if I like their music I'm not going to complain.
-
Haven't you at least spoken to people in your classes? I speak to people in my classes, and say "hey" when we walk past each other in hallways... but I wouldn't call them friends, yet. I did go to town with a bunch of them once, but that was because my college is IN town, and we figured we'd go for a trip to subway lol.
The second chapter of great gatsby was better than the first, but it's still dauntingly dull to read. I loved one paragraph of it, though, because it was just so poetic and metaphorical. The teacher likes me because I keep putting my hand up... and I don't know all this rubbish about "1990s America History" like a lot of my english class, but I can detect symbollism really quickly, and notice the significant yet small things that no one else notices. You could say I have an "imaginative approach" to english, whilst all the others have "logical approaches".
I thought it was hilarious in Eng Lit, when the teacher said "define ash for me" to the class... and this girl said it was a tree.
yes... it's a type of tree, but in the book they were talking about "grey ash" which is evidently fire ash!
-
That's how I feel about writing! It can influence anything, if you practise and get yourself out there & known.
Of course, we all need money, but if you love it why not? That's what I hate about people who 'only like indie music, and hate good bands that go mainstream'. They might want to experiment, get their voice out to people, y'know? It's not just for the money... but EVERYONE needs money.
Ignorant closed minded people! >;o (sorry if you're one of them
)

I wish I knew what percentage I got in Media, but they don't tell you. You just get the grade. I suppose that's for the best though, because I could've been 1 mark off an A in Science.
I suppose it's karma (the great gatsby thing) because I was bragging to my friends endlessly about how good my fridays were (go in for english for 2 hours and go home. On a FRIDAY!) but now I hate what we're doing lol. Damnit!
Psychology is a party! The teachers awesome, and it's really interesting. It's not difficult atm, but I predict it getting reaaallly gritty and boring in some places. Namely the mathematics areas of it.
That's happened to me loadsa' times - didn't answer one question and I got asked that one! Or once, we were playing a quiz and the winner got a £10. All the questions the other people got, I knew the answers to (and they didn't), and all the questions I got, I didn't know the answer to. I was fuming.
-
Urgh... I hate it. Who decided it'd be a good idea to read the Great Gatsby. It's so bad it doesn't deserve capitals... and I have to study it in super detail, because it's A-level!
Everyone's pretty shy at the moment, but slowly easing themselves into conversation. I've not been shy - I'm talking to like anyone... but not enough to chill with them outside of class.
-
Why don't you just say hours? And why are more hours even impressive to begin with?
we have nothing like that. American education is weiird.
