Yeah, didn't your dad tell you about the double ungood days of the 80s? *NM* IndigoAjah Send a noteboard - 21/09/2009 01:52:46 AM
Does the Devil ever struggle to be good again, or if so is he not a devil?

What difference does it make after all? Anonymity in the world of men is better than fame in heaven, for what's heaven? What's Earth? All in the mind.

Ever notice how in fantasy books the smaller army always wins? Murtach74 - 20/09/2009 01:01:18 PM 1365 Views

Well, usually the bigger army are the invaders. Defence tends to have an edge AgentOrange - 20/09/2009 04:38:45 PM 1008 Views
It's an essential plot device Tom - 20/09/2009 04:41:04 PM 1009 Views
Yeah but... Murtach74 - 20/09/2009 07:38:36 PM 984 Views
I don't quite agree Tom - 21/09/2009 01:22:45 AM 941 Views
I'm sitting here trying to think if I've read any books like that... Brian - 21/09/2009 01:40:08 AM 869 Views
Fail. Seriana Sedai - 21/09/2009 04:43:24 AM 1072 Views
Agreed. Tom - 21/09/2009 04:59:39 AM 955 Views
Well there are plenty of authors not in their right minds Brian - 21/09/2009 05:49:22 PM 892 Views
True. Seriana Sedai - 21/09/2009 06:50:43 PM 963 Views
Hrmm...guess Miéville failed to follow the script then *NM* Larry - 20/09/2009 07:48:29 PM 358 Views
and a lot of others. But there's a rumour somewhere that it's not the size that matters... *NM* jh - 20/09/2009 07:53:41 PM 355 Views
It's still a valid point, even if one author doesn't "follow the script." *NM* Joker - 25/09/2009 12:34:48 AM 410 Views

That, and... Napoleon62 - 20/09/2009 09:08:48 PM 982 Views
Nineteen Eighty-Four, baby! Ghavrel - 20/09/2009 10:37:05 PM 908 Views
That is not even fantasy... Napoleon62 - 21/09/2009 12:00:48 AM 911 Views
IT ISN'T?! *NM* Ghavrel - 21/09/2009 01:42:16 AM 385 Views

Doubleplusungood. Ghavrel - 25/09/2009 02:09:27 AM 898 Views
Oops, sorry. Probably a thoughtcrime to put a space in. Rebellious waste of... pixels? Space? *NM* IndigoAjah - 25/09/2009 04:26:14 PM 402 Views
I agree. 1984 is not SF-F. *NM* Joker - 25/09/2009 12:36:46 AM 387 Views
Who knew? ¯\(°O)/¯ *NM* Ghavrel - 25/09/2009 02:07:19 AM 373 Views
I... don't know what those symbols mean. *NM* Joker - 26/09/2009 07:04:13 AM 402 Views
All books should have a point, IMO. Otherwise, what's the point in reading them. IndigoAjah - 25/09/2009 04:32:43 PM 990 Views
Nineteen Eighty-Four is unquestionably Science Fiction. *NM* Ghavrel - 26/09/2009 04:12:47 AM 432 Views
No, it's not. ScyFy does not lay claim to anything and everything that takes place... Joker - 26/09/2009 07:05:59 AM 891 Views
It's a novel which heavily relies upon futuristic technology. How is it not Science Fiction? *NM* Ghavrel - 28/09/2009 01:43:23 AM 375 Views
Because it doesn't have lasers or time-travel in it IndigoAjah - 28/09/2009 02:15:18 AM 887 Views
I read it years ago and I don't remember any futuristic technology except... Joker - 28/09/2009 04:16:21 AM 986 Views
I would say that if a story uses that sort of thing, it has a science fiction element. Ghavrel - 28/09/2009 05:20:39 AM 766 Views
Wheel of Time? Werthead - 20/09/2009 11:52:36 PM 901 Views
I have not found that to be always true IndigoAjah - 21/09/2009 12:52:00 AM 863 Views
The smaller army doesn't always win Tashmere - 21/09/2009 02:47:07 AM 885 Views
Because you don't have to root for the huge army that's supposed to win. Seriana Sedai - 21/09/2009 04:38:22 AM 942 Views
everybody loves an under dog *NM* random thoughts - 21/09/2009 03:51:12 PM 391 Views
Pratchett makes much of this. *NM* Camilla - 21/09/2009 04:11:04 PM 407 Views
"You can take our lives, but you can never take our freedom!" "...wrong!" *NM* Ghavrel - 21/09/2009 11:02:25 PM 341 Views
Exactly what I was going to say Floffe - 27/09/2009 02:55:02 PM 1082 Views
